Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, which has different (and in some cases weaker) data protection standards than the EU, UK, or other countries where you may live.
If you are based in the EU or UK, your personal data is transferred to the United States for processing, which requires Stability AI to rely on mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the UK-US Data Bridge to ensure your data remains legally protected.

Compare across platforms →EU and UK users have strong legal protections for their personal data, but transferring data to the US requires specific legal safeguards that may not always be clearly disclosed or robustly implemented.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Chapter V (Arts. 44-49) governs international data transfers and requires an adequacy decision, SCCs (Commission Implementing Decision 2021/914), or other appropriate safeguards. UK GDPR requires reliance on the UK-US Data Bridge (effective October 2023) or UK IDTA for transfers to US processors. The Schrems II decision (C-311/18) mandates transfer impact assessments (TIAs) for SCCs. FTC enforcement of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework is conducted by the FTC and Department of Transportation.
