Stability AI privacy policy adds birthdate collection and shared-workspace sharing, and lowers child age from 18 to 13
The policy now collects birthdate, account settings and other content such as workflow notes and comments. It also shares content among members of shared workspaces. Model training, fine-tuning and evaluation are listed as a separate purpose, and the training opt-out, which already existed, is now said to be in Account Settings. The children's age threshold drops from 18 to 13, and requests now go through an online form with a one-month response commitment.
