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If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc.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.

#FOSS for the win.
I switched years ago to darktable. It's a higher learning curve than lightroom, and I still am able to get all I want and more.
I get it doesn't sync like you want; however, there are plenty of other file syncing services you could also use. #Nextcloud, for example, could help serve as an syncing service.
