Spark privacy policy drops AI data-processing table row and 2025 update notice

AI training: reworded

The old update notice about the Terms and Privacy Policy was removed, and the marketing communications row was reworded to add surveys and digests. The table row listing the data used for Spark AI features (emails, attachments, contacts, calendar data, meeting audio, writing style) and its contract-based legal basis is gone, as is the retention line for AI commands and rules. A Zoho Mail entry replaces Yahoo Mail in the backups provider list.

Taken from you

  • Surveys and digests now explicitly included in product communications under legitimate interest
  • Published legal basis and data list for AI features no longer shown in this table
