Adobe Scan

Adobe's June 2024 Terms of Use update produced significant public backlash when users read the terms as granting Adobe broad rights to access and analyse content processed through its products, including for machine learning. Adobe subsequently issued clarifications and revised the language. The episode is instructive beyond Adobe: the terms had substantially existed before, and what changed was that people actually read them - which tells you how much of the consent architecture across this entire tracker depends on nobody looking. Adobe Scan specifically is used to digitise exactly the documents people would least want analysed: tax records, medical bills, contracts, IDs.

Legal notice. PUBLIC COMPANY (ADBE). Service route: c/o General Counsel / Corporate Secretary, San Jose, California — the corporate address on the SEC Form 10-K cover page is the official address of record. Confirm the exact street address on the current 10-K at sec.gov/edgar, and check the state-of-incorporation registered agent (usually Delaware; most large filers use The Corporation Trust Company or Corporation Service Company) via the Secretary of State business-entity search. A registered agent MUST accept service, which is why it is the reliable channel when a company publishes no privacy address.
