This is an extract from an archived copy, fetched 7 September 2026. eBay didn't author this page for us. It's a snapshot we captured from https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/member-behaviour-policies/user-privacy-notice-privacy-policy?id=4260. We hold the whole page and publish this part of it: the sentence a verdict rests on, with the text either side, so you can see it hasn't been lifted out of an exception.

The entry cited this capture from 7 September 2026 until 21 September 2026, when the document was re-read; it now cites the capture of 21 September 2026. This page stays so that anything that linked it still works.

The passage, in context

Paragraph 274 of 320

To support us in our day-to-day work (e.g. to create summaries, to translate text or to generate images).

AI-powered tools and products may involve personal data processing, but this is not necessarily the case. We use both our own AI models and third-party AI models and systems to deliver AI-powered tools and products. If our use of AI involves the processing of personal data, we rely on the legal bases set out in Section 5. Purposes and legal bases for data processing and categories of recipients above for the purposes mentioned therein. If we use any AI system that interacts directly with you, we will let you know.

AI development and training

Where permitted under applicable law, we use personal data collected from our users to train, test, validate, and align our own AI models as well as third-party AI models and systems that we use for the purposes outlined in this User Privacy Notice. This may include the personal data set out in Section 4. What personal data we collect and process . We may combine personal data from our users with data from external sources (e.g. from publicly available sources). The use of personal data for AI development and training is based on our legitimate interest to achieve the objectives outlined under "Use of AI" above.

When training, testing, validating, and aligning AI models, we take appropriate steps to mitigate potential privacy impacts (e.g. through filtering, data masking, differential privacy techniques). Where applicable, our steps are based on data protection impact assessments and the legitimate interest assessment that we carry out. These take into account the purpose of the model, the need and suitability of certain training data, as well as measures that can be reasonably taken during training and thereafter.

AI-related individual rights

You have rights with regard to your personal data. See Section 8. Rights as a data subject above for more details. Your rights also include the right to object - opens in new window or tab to our processing of your personal data for AI development and training purposes.

Checking the rest of it

The complete page is kept here and isn't republished. It's eBay's copyrighted document, and an extract is what a reader needs to check a quotation. The SHA-256 above is of that whole snapshot: fetch the page yourself, hash it, and you can tell whether ours has been altered without having to trust us.

If you work for eBay, or you are researching this and need the full capture, ask us for it and we will send it. If you believe a quote here is wrong or out of date, send us the paragraph. The correction gets published beside the clause.
