User Consent

Obtain consent from the user before using their data to train or fine-tune AI systems. Users should be promoted with the requested consent prior to their use of the service or product. The consent request should be specific about the data usage. For example, if the data is being used to train general AI models, that should be clearly stated in the consent request. Consent requests should also avoid being overly legal and use plain-language when possible.
Use plain language to explain how user data will be used, avoiding overly legalistic or technical terms. Clearly state whether data will be used for general AI training, fine-tuning, or other machine learning processes.
