What happens to your data when you store it in Adobe's convenient Creative Cloud? Well, apparently, it's not in as resting-of-a-state as some might think. It turns out, that Adobe—like many other companies training large AI models—may be using our data and designs to train our future replacements. 😉
In our opinion, we should have the choice of how our IP is used, without having to opt-in to some setting. In all fairness to our friends at Adobe, this approach is the new status quo. Apple, the so-called privacy guardians of the web requires users to opt-in to Advanced Data Protection enabling end-to-end encryption for iCloud. Oh, what a painful experience that was.
If you're feeling generous and don't care—no worries—no further action required! If not, you may want to check in on your Adobe Creative Cloud privacy settings.
