The license includes 'process' and 'analyze' rights limited to 'providing the Services.' Whether model training or improvement constitutes 'providing the Services' is not explicitly addressed and is genuinely contestable.

“As indicated above, vendors may act as our service providers, or in certain contexts, independently decide how to process your information. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use.”
