Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

This clause establishes an opt-out default for data sharing with third parties for purposes outside X's own stated policy uses, including AI model training. The provision applies to all users globally and may require evaluation under GDPR's purpose limitation and lawful basis requirements, as well as CCPA's data sharing and opt-out disclosure obligations.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Navigate to Settings, select Privacy and Safety, and locate the data sharing with third parties or collaborators option to opt out of sharing for AI training purposes.

If You Do Nothing

⚠ The terms permit X to share user data with third-party collaborators for AI model training as described, without further notice, if the user does not opt out via settings

Depending on your settings, or if you decide to share your data, we may share or disclose your information with third parties. If you do not opt out, in some instances the recipients of the information may use it for their own independent purposes in addition to those stated in X's Privacy Policy, including, for example, to train their artificial intelligence models, whether generative or otherwise.
