Photoroom trains on uploaded images by default with an account-settings opt-out and excludes API images, but its terms take a perpetual sublicensable licence to user content and the policy is silent on security controls and breach notice.

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

Trains by default, opt-out only

Uploaded images feed model training under legitimate interest; the opt-out sits in account settings and is expressly non-retroactive.

Perpetual sublicensable content licence

The terms grant Photoroom a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable licence over user content, which is an explicit reserved harm.

Security disclosure is empty

No encryption, access control, or breach-notification commitment appears anywhere in the fetched policy or terms.

Retention is long and named

Account data is kept until deletion or two years of inactivity, then archived for a further five years.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
Not stated: marking of AI-generated output
Not stated: its security safeguards
Not stated: breach notification
