Freepik (now Magnific) does not explicitly forbid training on user inputs without opt-out, perpetually sublicenses user images and voices without opt-out, and lacks transparent data minimization commitments, with only limited automated-decision disclosure and fragmented data handling rules across multiple documents.

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

D1.1 contradicts D4 & actual practice

Policy states 'Under no circumstances will we use your images...to train' but section 9 permits using Inputs/Outputs for 'security purposes and to improve...products' and section 3.4 permits third-party model training on uploaded content without opt-out.

Sublicensed to third parties

Images/voices are 'transferred to third parties in the form of licences or access' with no stated opt-out or time limit for this distribution.

D1.4 scope ambiguity

Quote applies only to outputs for third-party AI models, not Magnific's own models, creating false impression of user ownership over model-training data.

D5.3 purposes lack concrete legal bases

Data categories listed but purposes stated only as vague 'to provide/maintain' service without mapping to specific legal bases per GDPR article 6.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: keeping user inputs out of model training
Not stated: a way to opt out of training
Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: a retention period for your data
