Abnormal Security's global privacy policy is largely silent on data minimization and rights disclosure, with a problematic perpetual sublicensable license on user submissions and no explicit training opt-out mentioned.

What Abnormal Security's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

Fabricated training opt-out quote

D1.1 claims "unless you opt out of training through your account settings" , this exact phrase does not appear anywhere in Abnormal Security's policy. The policy is completely silent on whether user inputs train models.

Adverse sublicensable license on submissions

Terms of Use Section 'Submissions' (line 239): "you grant us a perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, royalty-free, irrevocable, sublicenseable, worldwide license and right to display, use, perform, reproduce, modify, distribute and create derivative works..." This is an explicit sublicensable clause, making D1.4 adverse.

Jurisdiction-conditional rights (not global)

Lines 159 and 165 state "Depending upon your place of residence...you may have rights..." The global policy does NOT affirm access, deletion, correction, or portability as universal rights, only conditional on jurisdiction.

Silent on security controls

The policy mentions a "Security Hub" and "Security Exhibit" but does not name any technical controls (TLS, AES-256, RBAC, etc.). D7.1 quote 'We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures' does not appear in this policy.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: keeping user inputs out of model training
Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
Not stated: a right to access your data
