ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD
🥴 Adobe’s Controversial Terms of Service

This week, Adobe updated its Terms of Service, saying it could access user content through automated and manual methods to improve services, detect fraud, and handle support requests.

Users were furious online because they feared Adobe could view and use their work, including sensitive projects under NDAs, to train AI models without permission.

This raised concerns about privacy and potential breaches of client agreements 👇️ 

Adobe later clarified that it doesn't use customer content to train AI and promised to fix the unclear wording in the terms.

They assured users that their content stored on personal devices is not accessed, only content related to support and service improvements.
