Adobe

Adobe analyzes your content with machine learning to improve its products by default, and says so plainly. An opt-out exists and the policy points to it.

Scope of this finding: The policy frames this as analysing content "using techniques such as machine learning" to improve Services and Software — not the same claim as training a generative model on your files, and this capture makes the stronger claim in neither direction. The quoted sentence is the policy's own section summary; the operative provision sits under "Content Analytics with Cloud Content". The opt-out mechanics live on a linked page this monitor doesn't archive, so it is graded a self-serve toggle on the strength of the policy calling it an opt-out right rather than a request process.
