Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.

This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.

If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.

I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.

@baldur  I use Lightroom but without syncing anything.

Do you have a deep link to that setting? Is that on the web or app itself?

@ricard

If you aren't syncing anything then I _think_ you should be safe.

I think it only applies to data that's uploaded to Adobe's cloud.

The setting is at this link for me. It should also be linked somewhere in the app itself.

@baldur Thank you very much, I also had enabled "Desktop app usage" 🤦‍♂️
