WeTransfer privacy policy adds legal-basis row covering service improvement and research on user content
A new entry lists legitimate interests such as developing, improving and personalizing services, content moderation and business decisions. It also lists 'prior Consent' for analysis and research on user content, drawing on information provided, collected automatically or received from other sources. The diff shows only the added text, so it is unclear whether this reflects a real change in practice or just clearer disclosure.

- Legitimate interests are listed as a basis for improving, developing and personalizing services using data from all three source categories
