===Alleged use of user data for AI training===

Adobe has been accused of using user information for the purpose of training artificial intelligence. ~~Applications like~~ Adobe ~~Fresco and~~ Adobe ~~Scan have cloud synchronization with no choice~~ to ~~opt out~~, and they do not ~~implement end-~~to~~-end encryption. Additionally~~, they ~~monitor users' reading behavior within eBooks~~. ~~Adobe also employs an interface design known as [[Dark pattern|dark patterns]] in their software~~, ~~meaning that certain features and options that a user has disabled may be re~~-~~enabled automatically~~ during ~~software updates~~.

Adobe has been accused of using user information for the purpose of training artificial intelligence. In 2024, Adobe updated its Terms of Service, granting itself a "non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license" to users' content. This grants Adobe permission to reproduce, distribute, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, and sublicense their users' content. This change raises concerns over conflicts with existing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and intellectual property rights. Users were required to accept the new Terms of Service to access their previously stored content.

Adobe has stated that they do not use user content to train generative AI, but they may use it for improving their machine learning systems, with an opt-out available. However, no opt-out option was presented during acceptance of the Terms of Service.
