Your data. Your choices.

Last updated: June 16, 2016

To provide you with more relevant experiences and marketing messages based on your likely interests, we collect information about you and how you engage with us. Here is how you can control your information.

• Tell us your Adobe marketing preferences by updating your Adobe ID profile. You can also tell us to stop sending you marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of Adobe's marketing emails.
  
• Tell us your Behance marketing preferences by updating your account settings (under the “Notifications” tab) at Behance.net. You can also tell Behance to stop sending you marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of Behance's marketing emails.

In some cases, Adobe needs to send you "transactional" emails relating to normal business operations. For example, we may email you to inform you that your subscription is expiring or that someone has sent you a document using an Adobe app. You cannot opt out of these emails.

We may collect information about how you use Adobe desktop products and mobile apps.

Adobe uses automated systems to analyze your content using techniques such as machine learning in order to improve our apps and websites. This analysis may occur as the content is sent or received via an Adobe website, or when the content is stored on Adobe servers. Learn more about how this works. If you do not want us to do this, then you can opt out in your account preferences.

Tell us if you prefer that we do not display web ads based on how you use Adobe’s websites and apps:

If you opt out, you may still see Adobe ads on other companies' websites, but they will not be based on your use of Adobe’s apps and websites.

Adobe complies with the DAA's Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising and related DAA guidance. For more general information about interest-based ads and your choices, please see:
