Open the companion tool →How tech companies embed AI training consent in software updates
Terms of Service updates often use broad language ('improve our services', 'train machine learning models') to repurpose user content.
Many platforms provide account privacy toggles that allow users to opt out of data training while continuing to use the software.
The protocol
- Search account settings for keywords: 'Privacy', 'Data Usage', 'AI Features', or 'Model Improvement'.
- Turn off toggles labeled 'Allow data usage for model training' or 'Improve AI services'.
- Review updated Terms of Service emails for explicit opt-out links provided during policy updates.
- Use privacy-focused alternative applications that commit to zero data retention.
