Stability AI states that your personal data may be moved to and processed in other countries, which may have different or less protective privacy laws than your home country.

Cross-border data transfers from the EU or UK to countries without an adequacy decision require specific legal safeguards under GDPR and UK GDPR, and the policy's general disclosure does not specify which transfer mechanisms are used.
Interpretive note: The policy discloses the possibility of cross-border transfers but does not specify the legal mechanisms relied upon, creating uncertainty about the adequacy of protections in practice.
The terms disclose that personal data including your account information and usage data may be processed outside your country of residence, potentially in jurisdictions with different data protection standards, which may affect the protections available to your data.

"Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.— Excerpt from Stability AI's Stability AI Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR Chapter V and UK GDPR impose strict requirements for transfers of personal data to third countries lacking an adequacy decision, generally requiring Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), or other approved transfer mechanisms. The European Data Protection Board and UK ICO have both issued guidance on transfer impact assessments. The policy discloses the possibility of international transfers but does not specify which mechanisms are in place. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium to High for EU and UK users. The absence of explicit disclosure of transfer mechanisms in the policy text creates a gap that may be scrutinized by supervisory authorities. Transfers to the United States, where Stability AI appears to have operations, require either reliance on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (for eligible entities) or SCCs with a transfer impact assessment. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users face heightened exposure. Transfers from the EEA or UK to the US or other third countries without clearly documented mechanisms may be subject to enforcement action by national data protection authorities. Swiss users may also be affected given Switzerland's Federal Act on Data Protection. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B customers, particularly those in the EU or UK, should request documentation of the transfer mechanisms Stability AI relies upon for cross-border data flows. Data Processing Agreements should explicitly address international transfer scenarios and the applicable safeguards. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should request and review Stability AI's transfer impact assessments and SCCs where applicable; confirm whether Stability AI is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; and ensure that intra-group and third-party transfer arrangements are documented and legally sound.
