Your Own Words3

When it comes to third country transfers from Dropbox to affiliated and third-party subprocessors, Dropbox indicated that it relies on the appropriate data transfer safeguards as provided by Chapter V GDPR. The Monitoring Body received information confirming that Dropbox relies on Adequacy Decisions and Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCCs"), of which the latter applies overarchingly. Details on the technical, organisational and contractual measures put in place to safeguard international data transfers were also provided to the Monitoring Body.

When transferring data from the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Dropbox relies upon a variety of legal mechanisms, such as contracts with our customers and affiliates, Standard Contractual Clauses, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission's adequacy decisions about certain countries, as applicable.

Training Exclusion Instrument: None

Where To Put It

This was read on your own page at https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/security/privacy-policy-faq. That is the page a reader already reaches for and does not find it on, so it is the page to correct first.

Where Others Stand

24 organisations in the register say whether customer data is used to train AI models. You do not.

What A Published Answer Looks Like

We will not use your data to train our AI or language models. We will not store your data except for the purpose of providing you with access to our platform and to the AI Functionality.

A question answered plainly in public, by an organisation read as Strong on it. It is not an endorsement of the position the sentence states — Black Snow reads what is published and never recommends what to practise. Read on published terms. Claim tier Quoted. The organisation that published it is not named. A name in the original is replaced; nothing else in the sentence is changed.

One is named here, and one is deliberate. The rest of the open questions are listed below without a prescription; what to publish for each, in what order, and drafted machine-readable evidence for all of them, is the Deep Dive.
