“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.”
Some vendors are acknowledged to act as independent data controllers, not merely processors, meaning Sprout Social has no control over how they use the user's data and accepts no responsibility for it.
“Section 2.3 (Research and Model Improvement): Analyzing usage patterns and using Trial or Research User Inputs/Outputs to improve the performance and safety of our AI models.”
Model training use of inputs/outputs is explicitly scoped to 'Trial or Research Users', implying paid or enterprise users may not have their data used for training. However, this distinction is not clearly defined elsewhere in the extracted text, creating ambiguity about which tier a given user falls into.
“**1.19.**“ **Plan**” means the specific services and product features available to you based upon your subscription. Plan details may be outlined within the Application or on a Service Order.”
