By using Stability AI's services, you agree to the collection, use, and sharing of your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of the terms of service.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision incorporates the Privacy Policy by reference, meaning users consent to data practices described in a separate document, which creates a compliance dependency on the Privacy Policy's content and any future updates to it.

Interpretive note: The adequacy of consent by Privacy Policy incorporation for GDPR purposes depends on the specific processing activities and lawful bases identified in the Privacy Policy; this provision alone does not confirm GDPR compliance.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA. Under GDPR, consent to a privacy policy incorporated by reference may not constitute a valid legal basis for all data processing activities; each processing purpose requires an identified lawful basis under Article 6 GDPR. The CCPA requires specific disclosures about categories of personal information collected and rights for California residents. The FTC Act may engage if data practices disclosed in the Privacy Policy are materially inconsistent with user expectations created by the terms. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium to High. The incorporation by reference of a separate Privacy Policy means that changes to the Privacy Policy may alter user consent without requiring re-acceptance of the Terms of Service. Organizations that have conducted GDPR data processing assessments based on a specific version of the Privacy Policy should monitor for updates. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users should assess whether the consent mechanism described here meets GDPR standards for freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. California residents should review CCPA disclosure requirements regarding data sale and sharing. The global scope of Stability AI's user base means multiple concurrent data protection frameworks may apply. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers and API users should request a Data Processing Agreement pursuant to GDPR Article 28 if they are acting as data controllers submitting personal data to Stability AI's platform. The incorporation by reference of the Privacy Policy is a due diligence trigger for vendor assessments. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should maintain a copy of the Privacy Policy version in effect at onboarding and monitor for updates. GDPR-subject organizations should confirm that Stability AI has identified specific lawful bases for each processing activity described in the Privacy Policy. Data mapping exercises should include Stability AI as a data processor or controller as applicable.
