The provision establishes that data used within the service may be applied to model development as a standard operational practice, while creating a mechanism for customers to restrict this use. This affects how customer content is processed and applied across the platform's AI capabilities.

The availability of an opt-out mechanism means customers can restrict this use, but the terms apply as written for customers who do not exercise this option.
