In case you weren't aware, Sections 2.2 and 4.1 of the usage agreement were changed to allow Adobe to acces your content through both automated and manual methods for content review and analysis.

Basically: Congrats, your content can be used for AI unless you opt out!

What does this mean?

Adobe may use and analyze your Creative Cloud or Document Cloud content to train their machine learning programs. Creative Cloud and Document Cloud content that are used include (but aren't limited to) image, audio, video, text or document files, and associated data.

How to get around this?

Go to your account (accessible on account.adobe.com) and select data and privacy settings. From there, you'll be able to toggle off Content analysis.

Things to keep in mind:

Adobe performs content analysis only on content processed or stored on their servers, so anything saved on your devices is safe.

Some content analysis will still be collected for certain programs: Adobe Photoshop Improvement Program, Adobe Stock, features that allow you to submit content as feedback, and certain beta/pre-releases/early-access programs and features.
