Question Please Help with Adobe Creative Cloud "Terms of Use"

[michaelm101]

I have a subscription to Adobe CC and will be using it for designing/altering highly confidential, proprietary items.

I'm concerned because I got BURNED badly back in the '80s.

I just received the following message while logging in:

"Updated Terms of Use
We've made some changes to the Adobe General Terms of Use regarding the use of Software and Services, including:

Clarified that we may access your content through both automated and manual methods, such as for content review (Sections 2.2 and 4.1)......"

Please explain and advise.

Thanks very much for your continued help and support!

What part are you concerned with?
"we may access"...?

That could be a simple as hosting your content on their cloud, and moving it between their server in the background.

For example, in order to provide the Services and Software, we may need to access, view, or listen to your Content to (A) respond to Feedback or support requests; (B) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, legal, or technical issues; and (C) enforce the Terms, as further set forth in Section 4.1 below. Our automated systems may analyze your Content and Creative Cloud Customer Fonts (defined in section 3.10 (Creative Cloud Customer Fonts) below) using techniques such as machine learning in order to improve our Services and Software and the user experience. Information on how Adobe uses machine learning can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/go/machine_learning.

4.1 Content. “Content” means any text, information, communication, or material, such as audio files, video files, electronic documents, or images, that you upload, import into, embed for use by, or create using the Services and Software.

We do not review all Content uploaded to the Services and Software, but we may use available technologies, vendors, or processes, including manual review, to screen for certain types of illegal content (for example, child sexual abuse material) or other abusive content or behavior (for example, patterns of activity that indicate spam or phishing, or keywords that indicate adult content has been posted outside of the adult wall).
