This provision authorizes X to share user data with unspecified third-party collaborators who may use that data for their own independent purposes, including training generative and non-generative AI models, unless the user opts out through their settings.

This provision establishes a data sharing pathway to unnamed third parties whose independent use of user data, including AI model training, is not governed by X's Privacy Policy and may extend beyond the uses users would associate with their X account activity. The opt-out mechanism is the primary user control over this sharing, and its adequacy as a legal basis under applicable frameworks is a material compliance consideration.
Interpretive note: The provision does not specify which categories of user data are shared under this arrangement, which third parties qualify as collaborators, or what opt-out mechanisms are technically available, making the practical scope of this disclosure operationally uncertain.
Under this clause, user data may be disclosed to unnamed third parties for independent purposes, including AI model training, unless the user actively opts out via X's settings; the agreement does not specify which third parties are eligible recipients under this provision.
