Does ADT train on your data?
ADT lists faceprints, voiceprints and camera audio among what it collects. Its policy never uses "train", "AI" or "machine learning" — the training question goes unanswered.
Zero occurrences of any form of "train", "machine learning", "artificial intelligence", "AI", "model" or "algorithm" in 143 paragraphs. What makes the silence load-bearing is what the same document lists as collected: "We may collect various types of data and event information from your devices by using cameras, microphones, GPS, or other monitoring sensors", and the sensitive-data table lists "faceprints, voiceprints, iris or retina scans, gait" as Biometric Information, alongside inference profiles — some of the most training-sensitive data in this category, followed by no statement either way about model training. The nearest language is "Enhancing, improving, or modifying our websites, products, and services", which is the boilerplate this site declines to grade on. The document also states an implied-consent posture: "If you do not notify us, we will consider you to have consented to our continued collection, use, disclosure, and sharing of personal information." ADT's site turns away non-browser readers, so this entry rests on the Internet Archive's copy and says so.

How to opt out of ADT AI training
Plan by plan, from what ADT's own policy says about refusing. Where it publishes the steps, they're listed here with the limits they carry. Where there's nothing to switch off, or nothing graded, this says so instead of inventing a menu path.
All accounts
Not graded, so no route is pointed at. Zero occurrences of any form of "train", "machine learning", "artificial intelligence", "AI", "model" or "algorithm" in 143 paragraphs.

What this policy has done since we started watching
No change detected. We've held a copy of ADT's policy since 16 Aug 2026 and re-read it since, across 2 captures. The text hasn't moved in a way that touches this verdict. That's a fact about the document, and it's only knowable by having kept the earlier copies.
