Weasel words

Introduces examples, not a complete list. The named items are illustrative — the policy still covers whatever isn't named.

Permissive, not a commitment either way. "May use" grants a right without confirming the company currently exercises it, or always will.

Points elsewhere in the same document. Only as precise as whatever it's pointing to — worth checking that the referenced section actually says something specific.

Data combined across many users. Aggregation can genuinely reduce privacy risk, but the policy rarely says how many users, or how the aggregate could still be reversed.

A discretion word. "Appropriate" measures, "appropriate" safeguards — appropriate by whose judgment, and against what standard, is left to the company.

Personal identifiers removed by some process the policy doesn't specify. "De-identified" is not a fixed legal standard — how thorough it is varies by company and jurisdiction.

A broad, catch-all purpose. Training a model that powers the product is, definitionally, "improving the service" — this phrase alone can cover it without saying so.

Another discretion word, doing the same job as "appropriate": setting a standard without stating what would fail to meet it.

Signals the list that follows is non-exhaustive, without saying what's left out.

Same permissive structure as "may use," applied to third-party disclosure instead of internal use.

An unspecified carve-out. The circumstances aren't listed, so the exception's real size is unknowable from the text alone.

A vague frequency with no defined interval — could mean quarterly, could mean once.

The GDPR-flavored version of "may use" — permissive, not a confirmation of current practice.

States its own non-exhaustiveness directly. Whatever follows is illustrative, not the boundary.

A hedging phrase flagged by the monitor's word list.
