Canva

You are agreeing that Canva keeps your information and content long after your account is closed.

“Following termination or deactivation of your user account, Canva will retain your profile information and User Content for a commercially reasonable time, and for as long as we have a valid purpose to do so.”

What that means: You may not fully delete your data because Canva holds onto it for business or legal reasons even after you leave.

The company keeps your data indefinitely if it has a 'valid purpose,' which includes legal compliance and backups, rather than deleting it immediately upon request or cancellation.

You are agreeing to let Canva use your uploaded content to train their AI systems.

“We may analyze your activity, content, media uploads and related data in your account ... to train our algorithms, models and AI products and services using machine learning”

What that means: Your designs and images might be used to teach Canva’s AI tools, potentially impacting your exclusive ownership.

Canva takes your uploaded content and uses it to train their artificial intelligence models to improve the service, effectively licensing your creative work for their internal product development.

You are agreeing to share your data with third-party ad networks for cross-site advertising.

“We partner with third party ad servers, ad networks and social media platforms ... to deliver personalized advertisements ... on our Service and other sites”

What that means: Your browsing habits on Canva and elsewhere are shared with advertisers to target you with specific ads.

Canva shares your data with advertising partners like Facebook and Google to track your behavior across other websites and serve you targeted ads.

You are agreeing that your data can be sold if Canva's business is acquired or merged.

“Canva may also share, sell or transfer your information to third parties in connection with ... any merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, sale of assets...”

What that means: If Canva changes ownership, your personal information becomes part of the assets being sold to the new owner.

Your data can be sold or transferred if Canva is bought out, merges with another company, or sells off parts of its business.

You are agreeing that Canva is not responsible if your data is compromised.

“Canva cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Canva or guarantee that information on the Service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.”

What that means: If your data is hacked or leaked, Canva accepts no liability for the damage.

The company explicitly states it does not guarantee the safety of your data, shifting the risk of a breach or data loss onto you.
