"AI interactions, including prompts, questions, files, and other types of information that you submit to our AI-powered interfaces, as well as the responses they generate.— Excerpt from TikTok Ads's TikTok Privacy Policy
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: AI interaction data collection engages CCPA/CPRA's requirements for disclosing categories of personal information collected and purposes of use, including use for AI training. The FTC has issued guidance on AI data practices and unfair or deceptive trade practices. If AI interactions include health-related information from Washington state users, Washington's My Health My Data Act may apply. Emerging state AI transparency laws may also be relevant. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium-High. The policy states that AI interaction data, including user-submitted files, may be used to 'train, test, and improve technology, such as machine learning models and algorithms.' The breadth of this use case, combined with the potentially sensitive nature of AI chat inputs, creates compliance considerations around adequate disclosure, consent, and data minimization under state privacy frameworks. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California's CPRA treats certain AI-related profiling and automated decision-making as subject to opt-out rights. Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and Texas have provisions addressing automated processing. Washington's My Health My Data Act may apply if AI interactions contain consumer health data. Users in these states have varying rights to limit AI data use. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Third-party AI model providers or cloud AI infrastructure vendors who receive AI interaction data should be assessed for compliance with applicable data processing requirements, including data minimization and purpose limitation. Agreements should specify whether vendor AI systems may use interaction data for their own model training. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should evaluate whether the policy's disclosure of AI training use satisfies the specificity requirements of applicable state privacy laws. Consent mechanisms or opt-out options for AI training uses should be reviewed. Data retention periods for AI interaction logs should be documented and disclosed. If AI interactions are used for profiling, compliance with CPRA's automated decision-making provisions should be assessed.
