Opting out of eBay's use of personal data for AI

2 years ago by jimi_henrik to c/privacyguides

I recently discovered this setting and thought it might be of interest to others::

This setting is intended to help our users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland control the use of their personal data to train, test, validate, and align our own Al models as well as third-party Al models

Thanks for the hint! I didn't know this setting existed and of course it was enabled by default... What happened to informed consent?

I’m sure the terms of use say that the privacy policy can be updated at any time with or without notice.

This should've been opt-in from the get-go.

I've wanted to delete my ebay account, but they make it impossible to do so.
