MED⚠ CAUTIONHIGH
No evidence of user content used to train AI models. "Training" references in policy are limited to call recording quality purposes.

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.

Data Privacy
Sprout Social AI
HIGH⚠ CAUTIONHIGH
—
“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.
Veed.io
HIGH⚠ CAUTIONMED
—
“By using the Applications and/or our services, you are giving us your explicit consent to make automated decisions. If you do not consent to our making automated decisions, you must not use our Applications or services.”
The platform claims 'explicit consent' to automated decision-making (including legally significant decisions) merely by virtue of using the service — a take-it-or-leave-it approach that may not meet GDPR standards for freely given, specific consent.
