Blender

Summary

The provided diff does not include the actual 26 added words—only a note stating that approximately 26 words were added. As a result, it is not possible to determine:

• What contractual terms changed;
• Whether liability, confidentiality, security, ownership, or termination rights were affected;
• Whether the customer’s data may be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models;
• Whether any consent, opt-out, anonymization, retention, or deletion provisions were added; or
• Whether the customer received any new rights or obligations.

AI Training/Data-Use Analysis

No conclusion can be reached regarding AI model training because the substantive added language was not provided. The key terms to review would include references to:

• “Train,” “fine-tune,” “improve,” “develop,” or “evaluate” models or services;
• Customer data, prompts, inputs, outputs, content, or usage data;
• De-identification, aggregation, or anonymization;
• Provider rights to use data for product development or research;
• Opt-out mechanisms or customer consent requirements; and
• Data retention, deletion, confidentiality, and disclosure to affiliates or subcontractors.

Required Information

Please provide the actual text of the diff, including the 26 added words and any surrounding language. Without that text, there are no identifiable legal changes or risks to analyze.

Summary of Important Changes

1. Distribution and Use of Blender Software

The revised text adds or clarifies that:

• Blender may be downloaded from several third-party websites, not only blender.org.
• No internet access is required to use the Blender software.
• Schools, institutions, and companies may distribute Blender binaries internally to staff or users.
• The software remains free to download and use without registration.

Legal and operational risks

• The Foundation may have less control over software authenticity, security, updates, and malware risks when users obtain Blender from third-party websites.
• The internal-distribution language could create ambiguity about the permitted scope of redistribution—for example, whether it covers contractors, affiliates, students, customers, or external collaborators.
• “Free” and “without registration” describe access conditions but do not necessarily eliminate other licensing obligations, such as attribution, trademark restrictions, or compliance with the applicable open-source license.

2. Privacy and Tracking Statements

The revised text retains or reorganizes strong statements that:

• Blender Foundation is committed to protecting privacy on blender.org.
• No third party will track users on blender.org.
• blender.org does not contain third-party advertising.

However, it also adds or highlights:

• Embedded content from other providers may track a user’s interaction with that content.
• A reference to social media appears to have been added.
• An email address for Blender Institute is added: institute@blender.org.

Legal and drafting risks

• The broad statement that “no third party will track you” may conflict with the later acknowledgment that embedded providers may track interactions. The policy should clearly distinguish tracking on Blender-controlled pages from tracking by embedded providers.
• The text should identify the types of embedded content and providers involved, the data shared, applicable legal bases, retention periods, and available user controls.
• The unusual formatting and apparent navigation-text insertions create ambiguity about the operative wording and should be corrected before publication.

3. Customer Data and AI Model Training

No express change concerning the use of customer or user data to train AI models appears in the supplied diff.

The additions do not grant an AI-training license, authorize model development using user content, or describe whether prompts, files, telemetry, or other usage data are collected for training. The statement that no internet access is required may reduce certain online data flows for the software itself, but it does not address websites, embedded content, support services, or third-party distributors.

If AI training is relevant, the policy should state expressly whether user data or content is:

• collected or transmitted;
• used to train, fine-tune, or evaluate AI models;
• shared with AI providers; and
• subject to opt-out, deletion, or retention controls.

Summary of Important Changes

1. Website navigation and privacy-policy wording

The diff appears to replace visible website/navigation text with the following privacy-policy language:

• Blender Foundation is “committed to protect your privacy on blender.org.”
• No third party will track users on blender.org.
• Blender will not display third-party advertisements on its websites.

This may be a formatting or content-assembly change rather than a substantive legal change, because navigation labels such as “Download,” “Support,” “About,” and “Privacy Policy” appear repeatedly within the replaced text. The final rendered webpage should be checked to ensure that navigation has not accidentally been replaced by policy text.

2. Broader distribution of Blender software

The revised wording clarifies that Blender:

• May be downloaded from blender.org or from several third-party websites.
• Does not require internet access to use.
• May be used without registration.
• May be distributed by schools, institutions, and companies.
• May be distributed internally to staff or other authorized users.

Legal and operational implications

• Blender appears to acknowledge and permit third-party redistribution, including institutional and internal corporate distribution.
• The wording does not clearly state whether third-party distributors may modify the binaries, add services, collect telemetry, or impose additional terms.
• Users downloading from third-party websites may not receive the same privacy protections as users visiting blender.org. The statement that “no third party will track you here” appears limited to blender.org and does not cover third-party download sites or software distributors.
• “Authorized users” or similar internal-distribution limitations should be defined if the policy intends to restrict redistribution.

3. Embedded content and social media tracking

The addition of “Social media” and the statement that embedded content from other providers may track user interaction introduces or emphasizes a privacy exception:

• Although blender.org itself is stated not to permit third-party tracking, embedded third-party content may track interactions.
• The policy should ideally identify the types of providers involved, the data collected, the purposes of tracking, and whether consent or browser controls are available.
• This creates a potential tension with the broad statement that “no third party will track you here.” That statement may need qualification to avoid being misleading.

4. Contact information

The addition of institute@blender.org provides a privacy or organizational contact address for Blender Institute B.V. This may improve transparency, but the document should clarify whether this is a general contact, privacy contact, or data-protection contact.

5. AI-model training

No express change regarding AI or training models is visible in the supplied diff.

The diff does not add or remove language authorizing Blender, affiliates, service providers, or third parties to use customer/user data, submissions, usage data, or embedded-content interactions to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models. Any AI-training terms may be located elsewhere in the policy or omitted from this excerpt.

Summary

The supplied diff does not include the actual contractual language that was added, deleted, or replaced. It only states:

> “Added approximately 26 words to the document”

Accordingly, the legal impact of the amendment cannot be determined.

AI Training and Customer Data

• The diff does not identify whether customer data may be:
• Used to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models;
• Shared with model providers or other third parties;
• Combined with data from other customers;
• De-identified or anonymized before use;
• Retained after termination; or
• Used for product development, analytics, or service improvement.
• No conclusion can be drawn about whether the customer has gained or lost control over its data.
• Any new consent, license, ownership right, confidentiality exception, or limitation on deletion could materially increase risk, but the relevant wording is not provided.

Other Potential Legal Changes

The missing 26 words could also affect:

• Data ownership and intellectual-property rights;
• Confidentiality obligations;
• Data-retention and deletion duties;
• Security and privacy commitments;
• Liability, indemnification, or regulatory compliance;
• Subcontractor or third-party access; and
• The customer’s ability to opt out or terminate.

Required Information

Please provide the actual text showing the additions, deletions, and replacements—for example:

• Additions in {curly braces};
• Deletions in [square brackets]; and
• Replacements as [{deleted text}]{added text}.

Without that text, no reliable legal analysis is possible.

Summary

The provided diff states only:

> “Added approximately 26 words to the document”

It does not include the actual added, deleted, or replacement language. As a result, the legal effect of the changes cannot be analyzed reliably.

AI Training and Customer Data

• No substantive contract language is provided addressing:
• Whether customer data may be used to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models;
• Whether customer data is used for product development, analytics, or model evaluation;
• Whether data is anonymized, aggregated, or de-identified before such use;
• Whether customer content may be shared with affiliates, vendors, or AI providers;
• Whether the customer can opt out of AI training or withdraw consent;
• Ownership or licensing rights in customer data, prompts, outputs, or model improvements;
• Data retention, deletion, security, or confidentiality obligations relating to AI use.

Risk Assessment

No new legal risks can be identified from the supplied information. The statement that approximately 26 words were added is not enough to determine whether the amendment:

• Expands the provider’s rights to use customer data;
• Grants a license to train AI models;
• Changes confidentiality or data-protection obligations;
• Limits the provider’s liability;
• Permits use of data after termination; or
• Conflicts with privacy laws or customer policies.

Required Information

To perform the requested analysis, provide the actual diff showing the added, deleted, and replacement language.

Summary of Important Changes

1. Privacy statement moved and reframed

• The introductory wording has been substantially rearranged, apparently moving website navigation text and the privacy commitment within the document.
• The statement that Blender Foundation is “committed to protect your privacy on blender.org” remains.
• The promise that no third party will track users on blender.org and that the site contains no third-party advertisements also appears to remain unchanged.
• Because the diff contains repeated navigation labels and apparently malformed replacement text, the final document should be reviewed for formatting and unintended omissions.

2. Blender software distribution expanded

The revised text expressly states that:

• Blender is free to be downloaded and used without registration.
• Users may download it from blender.org or from several third-party websites.
• No internet access is required to use the software.
• Schools, institutions, and companies may distribute Blender binaries internally to staff or other users.

Legal and practical implications

• The Foundation may have less control over the authenticity, security, licensing notices, and privacy practices associated with third-party downloads.
• Users who obtain Blender from third parties may be exposed to modified or bundled versions, malware, tracking, or different terms.
• The revised language could be read as endorsing or authorizing third-party distribution generally, although it does not appear to impose obligations on those distributors.
• The text should clarify whether third-party distributors are independent and whether the Foundation accepts responsibility for their conduct or downloads.

3. Embedded third-party content

A new sentence states:

> “Please note: embedded content from other providers may track your interaction with …”

This is an important qualification to the broad no-tracking promise. It recognizes that embedded content—such as social-media widgets, videos, maps, or other external services—may collect information about users.

Risk

The no-third-party-tracking statement should be expressly limited to Blender-controlled website functions. Otherwise, users could view the provisions as contradictory or misleading. The policy should identify the types of embedded providers involved, the data they may collect, and any available user controls.

4. Social media reference

“Social media” has been added as a heading or privacy-policy topic. The excerpt does not show the full associated terms, so it is unclear whether this section explains:

• Social-media links or embedded plugins;
• Information shared when users interact with those services;
• The Foundation’s use of social-media analytics; or
• Whether social-media providers act as independent controllers.

This section requires review in the complete document.

5. Contact and organizational change

• The email address institute@blender.org has been added.
• Blender Institute B.V. is stated to have been authorized by Stichting Blender Foundation to conduct certain activities.

This may clarify the operational entity and contact route, but the document should specify which entity is responsible for website processing, user rights, and legal compliance.

6. AI-model training

No provision in the supplied diff expressly authorizes, prohibits, or discusses using customer/user data to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models. No AI-training rights, opt-out, anonymization, or data-retention language appears to have been added or removed in the excerpt.

Summary

The provided diff contains only the statement:

> “Added approximately 26 words to the document”

It does not include the actual 26 words or identify where they were added.

Legal and Commercial Impact

• No substantive contractual changes can be evaluated from the information provided.
• It is not possible to determine whether the addition changes:
• Customer data ownership or licensing rights;
• Confidentiality or privacy obligations;
• Permitted data uses;
• Data retention or deletion requirements;
• Security obligations;
• Liability, indemnity, or compliance responsibilities; or
• Termination or post-termination data handling.

AI Training and Model Use

The diff does not show any language addressing whether customer data may be:

• Used to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models;
• Shared with model providers or other third parties;
• Used in aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized form;
• Retained in prompts, logs, datasets, or model weights; or
• Excluded from training by default or only upon customer opt-out.

Accordingly, no conclusion can be reached about changes to AI-training rights or related risks.

Required Information

Please provide the actual added, deleted, and replacement language. Without the underlying text, the legal effect and any new customer-data or AI-training risks cannot be analyzed.

Summary of Important Changes

1. Privacy statement substantially rewritten

The revised text states that:

• Blender Foundation is “committed to protect your privacy on blender.org.”
• No third party will track users on blender.org.
• blender.org will not display third-party advertisements.
• Blender software is free and can be downloaded and used without registration.
• Internet access is not required to use the Blender software.

Risk/impact

The new language is more direct and user-friendly, but it may create broad representations that could be difficult to satisfy in all circumstances. In particular:

• “No third party will track you here” could be read as an absolute promise, potentially creating risk if third-party hosting, analytics, security, content-delivery, payment, or embedded services process data.
• The statement appears limited to blender.org, not necessarily the Blender software, third-party download sites, affiliated services, or embedded content.
• The diff does not define “track,” leaving uncertainty about whether technical logs, IP addresses, cookies, security monitoring, or service-provider processing are covered.

2. Distribution through third-party websites expressly recognized

The revised wording confirms that users may download Blender from “several third party websites” and that schools, institutions, and companies may distribute Blender binaries internally to staff or other users.

Risk/impact

This may reduce ambiguity about permitted distribution, but it also increases practical privacy and security risks:

• Blender may be obtained from websites that use tracking, advertising, malware, or modified installers.
• Users could mistakenly assume the “no tracking” promise applies to those third-party websites.
• The text should ideally distinguish Blender Foundation’s privacy practices from those of independent distributors and clarify that the Foundation does not control their data practices.

3. Embedded social-media content added

The diff adds a “Social media” section stating that embedded content from other providers may track a user’s interaction.

Risk/impact

This is an important qualification to the broad no-tracking language. It acknowledges that third-party providers may collect information when users interact with embedded content. The policy should ideally explain:

• Which types of providers or content are involved;
• What data may be collected;
• Whether content is loaded automatically or only after consent; and
• How users can avoid or control such tracking.

4. Contact and authorization information added

An email address, institute@blender.org, is added, and the text states that Blender Institute B.V. has been authorized by Stichting Blender Foundation to conduct certain activities.

Risk/impact

This may improve transparency, but the policy should clearly identify each entity’s role, including which entity is the data controller, who users should contact regarding privacy rights, and whether the entities share personal data.

5. AI-model training

No provision in the supplied diff expressly authorizes, prohibits, or describes using customer/user data to train AI models. There is also no visible change addressing:

• Training on uploaded content or user communications;
• Use of telemetry or analytics for model development;
• Human review of data;
• Opt-out rights; or
• Retention of data for AI purposes.

Accordingly, the diff does not appear to introduce a new AI-training right, but the absence of express language leaves the issue unresolved.

Summary

The diff only states that approximately 26 words were added, but it does not provide the actual wording of those additions.

Legal and Risk Analysis

• No substantive legal changes can be identified without the text of the added language.
• It is not possible to determine whether the additions affect:
• Customer data ownership or licensing;
• Permitted uses of customer data;
• Data retention, sharing, or disclosure;
• Confidentiality or security obligations;
• Liability, indemnification, or compliance duties; or
• Termination and post-termination data handling.

AI Training and Model Use

The diff does not reveal whether customer data may be:

• Used to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models;
• Used to evaluate or monitor AI systems;
• Combined with other customers’ data;
• Anonymized or de-identified for model development;
• Retained after termination for AI-related purposes; or
• Excluded from AI training unless the customer opts in or opts out.

Accordingly, no conclusion can be drawn about changes to AI-training rights or risks.

Required for Further Review

Please provide the actual 26 added words, together with any surrounding sentence or paragraph. The precise language is necessary to assess whether the amendment grants new data-use rights or creates additional customer obligations.

Structured Summary of Important Changes

1. Website privacy commitment is made more prominent

• The revised text prominently states that Blender Foundation is “committed to protect your privacy on blender.org.”
• It expressly says that:
• No third party will track users on blender.org.
• blender.org will not contain third-party advertisements.
• Risk/qualification: These assurances appear limited to blender.org. They do not necessarily cover third-party websites, embedded services, downloads, software use, or other Blender-affiliated platforms.

2. New disclosure about embedded social-media content

• The addition of “Social media” is followed by a notice that embedded content from other providers “may track your interaction.”
• Risk: Embedded content may transmit interaction data to external providers even if Blender itself does not use third-party tracking on its own website. The clause does not identify the providers, data collected, purposes, retention periods, or available controls.
• The policy should clarify whether consent is obtained before such content loads and whether users can disable it.

3. Software distribution and registration language is revised

The text now emphasizes that Blender software:

• Is free to download and use without registration.
• May be downloaded from blender.org or several third-party websites.
• Does not require internet access to use.
• May be distributed by schools, institutions, and companies.
• May be distributed internally to staff or other users.

Risks and implications:

• The expanded permission to use third-party download sources may increase exposure to tampered, outdated, or malicious binaries.
• Blender may have limited ability to control privacy practices or security of third-party distributors.
• Institutional and company distribution is expressly contemplated, but the text does not address enterprise responsibilities, support, telemetry, security updates, or compliance obligations.
• The phrase “The Bender software” appears to be a drafting or formatting error and should be corrected if it is intended to refer to Blender.

4. Third-party tracking disclaimer may be internally qualified

• The statement that “No third party will track you here” is broad, but the later social-media language acknowledges that embedded providers may track interactions.
• Risk: Users could read the two statements as inconsistent. The policy should distinguish Blender-controlled tracking from tracking performed by embedded third parties.

5. Contact and organizational information

• The email address institute@blender.org is added.
• The text states that Blender Institute B.V. has been authorized by Stichting Blender Foundation to conduct certain activities.
• Risk: The precise scope of that authorization is unclear. The policy should identify which entity is the data controller, which entity processes data, and how responsibilities are divided.

6. AI-model training

• No express change addresses the use of customer or user data to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models.
• The diff contains no new permission, prohibition, disclosure, or opt-out concerning AI training.
• Accordingly, this diff does not clarify whether website data, embedded-content interactions, downloads, communications, or software-generated data may be used for AI purposes.

Summary

The diff only states:

> “Added approximately 26 words to the document”

It does not include the actual 26 added words, nor identify where they were inserted or what existing language they replace.

Legal and Business Impact

• No substantive legal change can be assessed from the information provided.
• It is not possible to determine whether the addition changes:
• Customer data ownership or licensing rights
• Permitted uses of customer data
• Confidentiality or privacy obligations
• Data retention or deletion requirements
• Security responsibilities
• Liability, indemnification, or regulatory compliance
• Audit, notice, or consent requirements

AI Training and Model Use

The diff provides no information about whether customer data may be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models.

In particular, the available text does not reveal whether the new language:

• Authorizes use of customer data or prompts for model training
• Permits use of de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized data
• Allows data to be shared with third-party AI providers
• Applies training rights to customer content, inputs, outputs, metadata, or usage data
• Gives the customer an opt-out or requires prior consent
• Limits training to models used solely to provide the services
• Requires deletion of training data or prevents the reconstruction of customer information

Conclusion

The actual added language is required before any reliable legal analysis can be performed. The statement that approximately 26 words were added is insufficient to identify new rights, obligations, or risks—especially regarding the use of customer data to train AI models.

Summary of Important Changes

1. Privacy statement moved and substantially reframed

The text now prominently states that the Blender Foundation is:

• “Committed to protect your privacy on blender.org”
• Not allowing third-party tracking on blender.org
• Not displaying third-party advertisements on blender.org

This is a stronger, more prominent privacy representation than the prior wording. It may create expectations that tracking and advertising are completely absent from the Blender website. The qualification appears limited to blender.org, not necessarily other Blender services, downloads, applications, or third-party websites.

2. Clarification regarding Blender software access

The revised text states that Blender software:

• Is free;
• May be downloaded and used without registration;
• Does not require internet access to use;
• May be downloaded from blender.org or third-party websites.

This is clearer and broader than the previous wording. However, permitting downloads from “several third party websites” introduces potential user-security and authenticity risks. The text should ideally identify authorized distributors or explain how users can verify the integrity of downloaded binaries.

3. Institutional and internal distribution rights

The revision expressly states that schools, institutions, and companies may distribute Blender binaries internally to staff or other users. This clarifies permitted organizational use but may need to be consistent with Blender’s applicable open-source license and trademark rules. The excerpt does not state whether internal redistribution carries any conditions or restrictions.

4. Embedded third-party content and tracking

A new statement says that embedded content from other providers, including apparently social-media content, may track a user’s interaction. This is an important qualification to the broad “no third-party tracking” statement.

Potential issues include:

• The privacy promise could appear inconsistent unless it clearly distinguishes Blender-controlled pages from embedded third-party content.
• Users may need clearer information about which providers are involved, what data is collected, and whether consent or opt-out controls are available.
• Responsibility for third-party tracking should be allocated clearly.

5. Contact and organizational information

An email address, institute@blender.org, has been added. The text also states that Blender Institute B.V. has been authorized by Stichting Blender Foundation to conduct certain activities. This may clarify operational responsibility, but the excerpt does not explain the scope of that authorization or which entity acts as the data controller.

6. AI-model training

No provision in the supplied diff expressly addresses:

• Using customer or user data to train AI models;
• Generative AI, machine learning, or model development;
• Opt-in or opt-out rights for AI training;
• De-identification, retention, or sharing of data for AI purposes.

Accordingly, the diff shows no identifiable change regarding AI training or use of customer data for AI models.

Key Changes and Legal Risks

1. Privacy policy language substantially expanded

The revised text states that Blender Foundation is committed to protecting privacy on blender.org, including that:

• No third party will track users on the website.
• blender.org will not contain third-party advertisements.
• Embedded content from other providers may track user interactions.
• “Social media” content appears to have been added as a category of embedded or third-party content.

Risks and implications

• The promise that “no third party will track you here” may be read broadly, but it appears limited to blender.org and may conflict with the later acknowledgment that embedded third-party content can track interactions.
• The policy should clearly distinguish between tracking controlled by Blender Foundation and tracking performed by third-party embeds, such as social media widgets, videos, analytics tools, or payment services.
• A consent mechanism or clear disclosure may be required in some jurisdictions before third-party tracking technologies are activated.

2. Clarification that Blender does not require registration or internet access

The revised language states that Blender software:

• Is free to download and use without registration.
• Can be downloaded from blender.org or third-party websites.
• Does not require internet access to use.
• May be distributed by schools, institutions, or companies.
• May be distributed internally to staff or other authorized users.

Risks and implications

• The wording may create strong user expectations that registration, connectivity, telemetry, or online account access will never be required.
• “Free” is potentially ambiguous and should be understood consistently with the applicable open-source license. It does not necessarily waive trademark, attribution, or other license conditions.
• Distribution rights should be coordinated with the actual software license. The words “authorized users” may introduce ambiguity if the license itself permits broader redistribution.
• Third-party download sites create supply-chain and authenticity risks. The policy should clarify that Blender Foundation does not necessarily control or endorse those sites.

3. No apparent AI-training provision

The supplied diff contains no express language authorizing, prohibiting, or governing the use of customer or user data to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models.

It does not appear to add terms addressing:

• Training on uploaded files, artwork, prompts, telemetry, or support communications.
• Use of personal data for model development or model fine-tuning.
• Opt-out rights or consent for AI training.
• Ownership of training data, outputs, or model-derived information.
• Disclosure of third-party AI providers.

Accordingly, the diff does not create a clear new AI-training authorization. However, the absence of such language leaves the issue unresolved and may require review of other terms, licenses, telemetry notices, or service-specific policies.

4. Administrative update

An email address, institute@blender.org, has been added, and Blender Institute B.V. is stated to be authorized by Stichting Blender Foundation to conduct activities. This may clarify contact and organizational authority but should be checked for consistency with the identified contracting entity and privacy-controller information.

Summary

The diff only states that approximately 26 words were added, but it does not include the actual added language.

Important Changes and Risks

• Unable to identify substantive legal changes: Without the text of the 26 added words, it is not possible to determine whether the amendment changes obligations, liability, confidentiality, intellectual property, termination rights, or other contractual terms.
• AI training and data use: The provided diff does not reveal whether customer data may be:
• Used to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models;
• Shared with model providers or other third parties;
• Retained after termination;
• Aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified for model development; or
• Excluded from training except with the customer’s consent.
• Risk assessment unavailable: The legal and commercial significance of the amendment cannot be assessed without the exact added language and its placement in the agreement.

Information Needed

Please provide the actual 26-word addition, including any surrounding sentence or section heading. This is especially important if the added language concerns:

• “Service improvement” or “product improvement”;
• “Machine learning,” “artificial intelligence,” or “model training”;
• Customer content, data, prompts, outputs, or usage data;
• De-identification or aggregation;
• Third-party vendors or subprocessors; or
• Rights that survive termination.

Summary of Important Changes

1. Software download and use

The revised text clarifies that Blender software:

• May be downloaded and used without registration.
• May be obtained from blender.org or from several third-party websites.
• Does not require internet access to use.
• May be distributed by schools, institutions, and companies.
• May be distributed internally to staff or other authorized users.
• May be distributed as Blender binaries.

Legal and practical risks

• Third-party distribution risk: Users who download Blender from third-party websites may receive modified, outdated, or malicious versions. The text does not appear to explain whether the Blender Foundation accepts responsibility for third-party downloads or provides warranties for them.
• Ambiguous distribution scope: The wording concerning distribution “internally” to staff or authorized users should be checked against the applicable open-source license. The privacy statement should not be read as expanding copyright or licensing rights.
• Potentially misleading wording: The statement that no internet access is required may not apply to optional features, updates, online services, embedded content, or third-party integrations.

2. Website privacy and tracking

The revised language emphasizes that:

• blender.org is committed to protecting privacy.
• No third party will track users on blender.org.
• blender.org contains no third-party advertisements.
• Embedded content from other providers may track user interaction.
• A “Social media” reference has been added, apparently in connection with embedded or externally hosted content.

Legal and practical risks

• Possible inconsistency: The broad statement that “no third party will track you here” may conflict with the later acknowledgment that embedded third-party content may track interactions.
• Scope limitation: The no-tracking promise appears limited to blender.org and does not necessarily cover third-party download sites, social-media platforms, embedded content, analytics providers, or externally hosted services.
• Insufficient detail: The text does not identify the third parties involved, the data collected, legal bases for processing, retention periods, international transfers, or user choices such as consent or opt-out mechanisms.

3. Contact information

An email address, institute@blender.org, has been added for Blender Institute B.V. in the Netherlands.

Legal and practical risks

• The addition may improve transparency, but the text should clarify whether Blender Institute B.V. or Stichting Blender Foundation is the relevant data controller or contracting entity.

4. AI-model training and customer data

No express changes concerning AI or the training of AI models are visible in the supplied diff.

The revised text does not appear to:

• Authorize use of customer or user data to train AI models.
• Prohibit such use.
• Define “customer data,” “inputs,” “outputs,” or “model training.”
• Address anonymization, retention, human review, or third-party AI providers.

Accordingly, the diff provides no clear contractual protection or permission regarding AI training. Any such rights or restrictions would need to be found in another section of the privacy policy, terms of use, software license, or separate service-specific terms.

Summary

The provided diff does not include the actual amended legal language. It only states:

> “Added approximately 26 words to the document”

As a result, no substantive contractual changes can be reliably identified.

AI Training and Customer Data

• The diff does not reveal whether the customer’s data may be:
• Used to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models;
• Reviewed by humans for model development;
• Combined with other customers’ data;
• Retained after termination;
• Used to create derived data, embeddings, or model weights; or
• Excluded from training by default or only upon opt-out.

• No conclusion can be drawn about whether the new language expands or restricts the provider’s rights to use customer data.

Risk Assessment

Because the 26 added words are not shown, it is not possible to assess:

• Whether the provider receives a broader license to customer data;
• Whether data may be used for commercial AI training or product improvement;
• Whether confidential, personal, or regulated data is affected;
• Whether the customer has an opt-out or deletion right;
• Whether data-use rights survive termination; or
• Whether the provider disclaims responsibility for AI outputs or derived models.

Required Information

Please provide the actual 26-word addition, together with any deleted or replaced wording. The specific legal effect depends on the exact language and its location in the agreement.

Summary

The provided diff states only that approximately 26 words were added, but does not include the actual added language.

Key Legal Changes

• Cannot be determined: Without the text of the 26 added words, it is not possible to identify changes to:
• Customer rights or obligations
• Provider rights or obligations
• Fees, liability, indemnification, or termination
• Confidentiality, privacy, or data-security requirements
• Intellectual-property ownership or licensing
• Governing law or dispute resolution

AI Training and Customer Data

• No conclusion can be reached: The diff does not show whether the added language:
• Permits the provider to use customer data, prompts, outputs, or metadata to train or improve AI models
• Limits training use to de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized data
• Requires customer consent or provides an opt-out
• Allows use of data by affiliates, contractors, or third-party model providers
• Grants the provider ownership or a broad license over customer data or outputs
• Requires deletion, retention limits, or security protections for training data

Risk Assessment

The absence of the actual text creates a significant review limitation. A short addition can materially change the agreement, particularly if it uses broad terms such as “improve,” “develop,” “service data,” “usage data,” “content,” or “machine learning.”

The complete diff or the exact 26-word addition is required for a reliable legal-risk analysis.

Structured Summary of Important Changes

1. Privacy commitment remains, but the text is reorganized

The revised text continues to state that:

• Blender Foundation is committed to protecting privacy on blender.org.
• No third party will track users on blender.org.
• blender.org will not contain third-party advertisements.

However, the diff appears heavily corrupted or mechanically rearranged: navigation labels and phrases such as “The Human Text A promise!” and “The Bender software” appear interspersed with the substantive text. The final document should be checked carefully to ensure these are not accidentally published.

2. Clarification that Blender can be obtained from third-party websites

New language expressly states that Blender may be downloaded from:

• blender.org; and
• “several third party websites.”

It also states that no internet access is required to use Blender.

Risk: The privacy assurances may apply specifically to blender.org and may not apply when users download Blender from third-party websites. Those websites could use tracking, advertisements, malware, altered software, or different privacy terms. The language should clearly distinguish Blender Foundation’s responsibility from the practices of third-party distributors.

3. Expanded distribution rights

New text states that schools, institutions, and companies may distribute Blender binaries internally to staff or other authorized users.

Risk: This appears permissive and operationally useful, but the provision does not specify whether internal distributors must preserve notices, provide an unmodified version, comply with the applicable open-source license, or accept responsibility for security and updates. Those matters may be governed elsewhere, but cross-references would reduce ambiguity.

4. Embedded social-media content

The addition of “Social media” and the statement that embedded content from other providers “may track your interaction with” introduces or emphasizes third-party tracking through embedded content.

Risk: This qualifies the broad privacy messaging. Users may reasonably understand “no third party will track you here” as absolute, while embedded social-media content may permit tracking. The policy should identify the providers, explain when tracking occurs, and describe consent or blocking mechanisms where legally required.

5. Contact and organizational details

The diff adds the email address institute@blender.org and states that Blender Institute B.V. has been authorized by Stichting Blender Foundation to conduct certain activities.

Risk: The document should specify the scope of that authorization and whether Blender Institute acts as a processor, controller, or service provider for any personal data.

6. AI-model training

No provision in the supplied diff expressly states that customer, user, website, software, or other data may be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models.

Conclusion: No new AI-training permission or restriction can be identified from this diff. The absence of such language does not necessarily prove that data is not used for AI training; other policies, product terms, telemetry notices, or incorporated documents may address it.

Structured Summary of Important Changes

1. Privacy commitment and website tracking

• The revised text expressly states that the Blender Foundation is committed to protecting privacy on blender.org.
• It adds or preserves a clear statement that:
• No third party will track users on blender.org.
• blender.org will not display third-party advertisements.
• Risk/limitation: These promises appear limited to the blender.org website. They do not necessarily cover:
• Blender software;
• third-party download websites;
• embedded content or external services; or
• independently operated websites using Blender branding.

2. Blender software distribution and registration

The revised language clarifies that Blender software:

• Is free to download and use;
• Does not require registration;
• Can be downloaded from blender.org or third-party websites;
• Does not require internet access to use; and
• May be distributed by schools, institutions, and companies.

It also expressly permits companies to distribute Blender binaries internally to staff or other personnel.

Practical significance: This is a broader and more explicit description of permitted distribution and offline use. It may reduce uncertainty for institutional and commercial users, although the text should be checked against the actual software license for legally operative permissions.

3. Third-party websites and downloads

The revised wording expressly acknowledges that Blender may be obtained from “several third party websites.”

Risk: The privacy assurances for blender.org do not appear to extend to those third-party websites. Users downloading Blender elsewhere may be subject to separate tracking, advertising, terms of use, or data practices.

4. Embedded social-media or third-party content

The addition of “Social media” and the statement that embedded content from other providers may track user interaction are material privacy disclosures.

Risk: This qualifies the broad no-tracking message. Although blender.org itself may not permit third-party tracking generally, embedded videos, social-media features, or other third-party content may collect information about user interactions. The policy should ideally identify the providers, purposes, technologies, and available controls.

5. Corporate/contact information

The revision adds the email address institute@blender.org and states that Blender Institute B.V. has been authorized by Stichting Blender Foundation to conduct certain activities.

Significance: This provides a clearer contact and identifies the operational entity acting on behalf of the Foundation. The precise scope of that authorization is not stated.

6. AI training and model use

• The diff contains no explicit provision authorizing or prohibiting the use of customer/user data to train AI models.
• There is no stated right to use uploaded content, usage data, communications, or personal information for AI training.
• The privacy statements concerning third-party tracking should not be interpreted as an AI-training commitment, because they address website tracking and advertising rather than model training.

Recommended follow-up: Confirm whether a separate policy, software telemetry provision, or terms of service addresses AI training, data mining, or use of user content.

Summary

• The supplied diff states only: “Added approximately 26 words to the document.”
• No actual contract language was provided, so the legal effect of the amendment cannot be determined.
• The diff does not identify:
• What provisions were added or changed;
• Whether customer data may be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models;
• Whether such use is opt-in, opt-out, or automatic;
• Whether data is anonymized, aggregated, retained, or shared with third parties;
• Whether the customer owns or controls model outputs or derived data;
• Whether confidentiality, security, deletion, or regulatory obligations have changed.

AI-Training Risk Assessment

No conclusion can be reached regarding AI-model training because the relevant contractual text is missing. In particular, the available information does not establish whether the provider receives:

• A license to use customer content for AI training or product improvement;
• Rights to create or retain derivative data, embeddings, metadata, or model weights;
• Permission to combine customer data with other users’ data;
• Rights to use data after termination or deletion requests; or
• Broad rights that could conflict with confidentiality, privacy, or data-protection requirements.

Required Information

To perform a meaningful legal review, provide the actual 26 added words and, if applicable, the surrounding provision and deleted language. The changes should be shown using the stated notation:

• Additions: {text}
• Deletions: [text]
• Replacements: [old text]{new text}

Important Changes

1. Privacy commitment moved and appears expanded

The revised text prominently states that Blender Foundation is committed to protecting privacy on blender.org, including that:

• No third party will track users on blender.org.
• blender.org will not display third-party advertisements.

This is a stronger, more specific website privacy representation than the prior language, which mainly stated that Blender software could be downloaded and used without registration.

Risk: The commitment is limited to blender.org. It does not necessarily apply to:

• Third-party websites hosting Blender downloads;
• Embedded content or external services;
• Blender software itself;
• Other Blender-operated websites or services.

The statement should be checked against actual analytics, cookies, logging, advertising, CDN, security, and hosting practices. Absolute wording such as “No third party will track you here” may create compliance or misrepresentation risk if any third-party tools collect data.

2. Third-party download sources expressly recognized

The revised language clarifies that users may download Blender:

• From blender.org; or
• From “several third party websites.”

It also states that no internet access is required to use the software.

Risk: This may be read as acknowledging or endorsing third-party distribution channels without explaining whether Blender Foundation controls them or is responsible for their privacy, security, malware, tracking, or altered binaries. A disclaimer or recommendation to verify authentic binaries may be appropriate.

3. Broader distribution rights described

The revised text adds that schools, institutions, and companies may distribute Blender binaries internally to staff or others.

Risk: The wording may create ambiguity about the scope of permitted internal distribution, including whether it covers contractors, affiliates, students, customers, modifications, or redistribution outside the organization. It should be aligned with the applicable open-source license.

4. Social media and embedded content

The revised text adds “Social media” and states that embedded content from other providers may track a user’s interaction.

This is an important qualification to the no-tracking statement.

Risk: The relationship between the absolute promise that no third party will track users and the later acknowledgment that embedded providers may track interactions should be clarified. The policy should identify the relevant providers, technologies, purposes, legal bases, and user controls where required.

5. New contact and authorization information

The revision adds the email address institute@blender.org and states that Blender Institute B.V. has been authorized by Stichting Blender Foundation to conduct certain activities.

Risk: The document should clearly identify which entity is the data controller, which entity processes data, and whether the authorization applies to privacy operations, website management, or other activities.

AI Training

No provision in the supplied diff expressly authorizes, restricts, or changes the use of customer/user data to train AI models. There is no stated right to use downloads, website interactions, embedded-content data, software usage data, or user content for AI training. Any AI-training terms would need to be located elsewhere in the policy or agreement.

Summary

The diff only states that approximately 26 words were added, but does not include the actual added language.

Key Legal Changes

• No substantive changes can be identified from the information provided.
• The nature, scope, and legal effect of the added 26 words cannot be assessed without seeing the text.

Customer Data and AI Training

• The diff does not reveal whether customer data may be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models.
• It is therefore not possible to determine whether the addition:
• Grants the provider a license to use customer data;
• Permits use of customer content for model training or product improvement;
• Applies such use to de-identified, aggregated, or identifiable data;
• Allows use of prompts, inputs, outputs, telemetry, or usage metadata;
• Creates an opt-out or consent requirement;
• Permits sharing with affiliates, vendors, or third-party AI providers; or
• Changes confidentiality, deletion, retention, or security obligations.

Risk Assessment

Because the added wording is missing, no reliable assessment can be made of:

• New customer obligations;
• Expansion of the provider’s data-use rights;
• Ownership or licensing changes;
• Privacy or regulatory exposure;
• Changes to confidentiality protections; or
• Whether AI-training rights are automatic, optional, or limited.

Information Needed

Please provide the actual 26-word addition, including any surrounding sentence or paragraph and any marked deletions or replacements. Without that text, the principal potential risk—expanded rights to use customer data, including for AI model training—cannot be confirmed or ruled out.

Summary

The provided diff only states:

> “Added approximately 26 words to the document”

It does not include the actual added, deleted, or replaced legal language. As a result, the substantive changes and legal risks cannot be assessed.

AI Training and Customer Data

• No wording is provided addressing whether customer data may be:
• Used to train, fine-tune, or improve artificial intelligence or machine-learning models;
• Combined with other customers’ data for training purposes;
• Used to create or improve generalized models;
• Reviewed by human personnel for model development;
• Retained after the customer relationship ends; or
• Subject to opt-out, consent, deletion, confidentiality, or security protections.

Accordingly, it is not possible to determine whether the document expands or restricts the provider’s rights to use customer data for AI training.

Other Potential Legal Changes

The missing 26 words could affect important provisions, including:

• Ownership or licensing of customer data;
• Permitted uses of data;
• Confidentiality obligations;
• Data retention and deletion;
• Security and privacy commitments;
• Intellectual-property rights;
• Liability, indemnification, or regulatory compliance; and
• Customer notice or consent requirements.

Required Information

Please provide the actual text of the additions, deletions, or replacements—ideally using the stated notation:

• {added text}
• [deleted text]
• [old text]{new text}

Without the underlying language, no reliable legal-risk analysis can be performed.

Summary of Important Changes

1. Website privacy language clarified and expanded

• The privacy statement now expressly refers to the blender.org website and states that:
• No third party will track users there.
• No third-party advertisements appear on blender.org websites.
• A “Privacy Policy” item appears to have been added to the website navigation.
• A new reference to embedded social-media or other third-party content states that such providers may track a user’s interaction with the embedded content.

Risk

The broad “no third party will track you here” statement may conflict with the later acknowledgment that embedded third-party content can track interactions. The policy should clearly distinguish Blender-controlled pages from third-party embeds and explain whether tracking occurs only when content is loaded or interacted with.

2. Blender software distribution language broadened

The revised wording states that Blender:

• Is free to download and use without registration.
• Can be downloaded from blender.org or several third-party websites.
• Does not require internet access to use.
• May be distributed by schools, institutions, and companies.
• May be distributed internally to staff or other authorized users.
• May be distributed as binaries, apparently including internal organizational distribution.

Risks

• Blender may have limited control over the security, authenticity, privacy practices, or modified versions distributed by third parties.
• Users may incorrectly assume that downloads from third-party websites carry the same privacy and security assurances as downloads from blender.org.
• The phrase “companies are allowed to distribute” may be broader than intended and should be coordinated with the applicable software license and trademark rules.
• The internal-distribution language may create expectations about permitted use that are not fully defined.

3. Administrative contact information added

• The address institute@blender.org was added in connection with Blender Institute B.V.’s authorization by Stichting Blender Foundation.

Risk

This may create an additional contact channel for legal, privacy, or authorization matters without specifying its purpose, response obligations, or whether it is a formal data-protection contact.

4. AI-model training and customer-data use

• The supplied diff contains no express provision authorizing, restricting, or describing the use of customer/user data to train AI models.
• There is no apparent change addressing:
• Training generative-AI or machine-learning models;
• Use of uploaded files, telemetry, prompts, or account data for training;
• Opt-out or consent requirements;
• De-identification or retention of training data; or
• Sharing data with AI providers.

Key implication

The diff does not create a new AI-training right, but it also does not provide clarity or protection on that issue. Any AI-data terms would need to be located elsewhere in the privacy policy, software terms, or service-specific terms.

Structured Summary of Important Changes

1. Privacy statement moved and reorganized

The revised text places the privacy commitment near the beginning of the policy and adds/promotes clearer website-navigation and privacy-policy references. The core statement remains that:

• Blender Foundation is committed to protecting privacy on blender.org.
• No third party will track users there.
• Blender.org will not display third-party advertisements.

Risk/impact: These assurances appear limited to the blender.org website. They should not be read as guarantees covering third-party download sites, embedded content, Blender software, or other Blender-related services.

2. Software download and registration language clarified

The revised wording states that Blender software:

• Is free to download and use without registration.
• Can be downloaded from blender.org or several third-party websites.
• Does not require internet access to use.
• May be distributed by schools, institutions, and companies.
• May be distributed internally to staff or other authorized users.

Risk/impact: Expanding the text to expressly recognize third-party distribution may reduce Blender Foundation’s control over the download experience and associated privacy protections. Users obtaining Blender from third-party websites may be exposed to tracking, advertising, modified software, or other terms imposed by those sites. The policy should distinguish clearly between official Blender distributions and third-party copies.

3. Social-media and embedded-content disclosure added

The revised text adds a “Social media” section and states that embedded content from other providers may track a user’s interaction with that content.

Risk/impact: This is an important qualification to the broad “no third party will track you here” language. Embedded videos, social-media features, or other third-party components may collect interaction data under the provider’s own privacy policy. The policy should ideally identify the types of providers, purposes of tracking, and any consent or opt-out mechanism.

4. Contact and organizational details updated

The diff adds the email address institute@blender.org and states that Blender Institute B.V. has been authorized by Stichting Blender Foundation to conduct certain activities.

Risk/impact: This may clarify the responsible contact and the relationship between the entities, but the excerpt does not specify which entity acts as controller, processor, or contractual counterparty. That ambiguity could matter for privacy requests, liability, and regulatory compliance.

5. AI-model training

No provision in the supplied diff expressly authorizes, restricts, or describes using customer or user data to train AI models. There is also no visible change addressing:

• Training or fine-tuning AI systems;
• Use of uploaded content, telemetry, or communications for training;
• Opt-out rights;
• Human review or model-development purposes; or
• Retention of data for AI training.

Conclusion: Based solely on this diff, there is no identifiable new AI-training permission or restriction. The absence of a specific AI clause leaves any such use to other policy language, service terms, or applicable law.

Summary

The provided diff does not include the actual contractual language that was added, deleted, or replaced. It only states:

> “Added approximately 26 words to the document”

Accordingly, it is not possible to determine:

• Whether customer data may be used to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models;
• Whether such use is permitted without the customer’s consent;
• Whether data may be shared with affiliates, vendors, or model providers;
• Whether the customer’s data may be retained after termination;
• Whether the provider must de-identify, anonymize, or delete customer data;
• Whether ownership or licensing rights in customer data, outputs, or model improvements have changed; or
• Whether new confidentiality, security, indemnity, or compliance risks have been introduced.

AI Training Review

No conclusion can be reached regarding AI-model training because the 26 added words are not shown. The added language should be reviewed specifically for terms such as:

• “train,” “fine-tune,” “improve,” or “develop” models;
• “service improvement” or “product improvement”;
• “aggregated,” “de-identified,” or “anonymized” data;
• “usage data,” “customer content,” or “inputs and outputs”;
• Rights granted to affiliates, subcontractors, or third-party AI providers; and
• Data retention or post-termination use.

Please provide the actual text of the additions, deletions, and replacements for a substantive legal-risk analysis.

Summary

The supplied diff states only: “Added approximately 26 words to the document.” It does not show the actual added, deleted, or replacement language.

AI Training and Customer Data

• No determination is possible regarding whether customer data may be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or otherwise improve AI models.
• The diff does not reveal whether the new language:
• Expands the provider’s rights to use customer content or usage data;
• Permits use of data for model training or product improvement;
• Allows data to be anonymized, aggregated, or shared with affiliates or third parties;
• Creates an opt-in or opt-out mechanism;
• Changes confidentiality, data-retention, or deletion obligations; or
• Applies retroactively to previously collected data.

Legal and Commercial Risk

Because the actual 26 words are not provided, it is not possible to assess:

• Whether the change increases the customer’s contractual obligations;
• Whether it grants the provider broader intellectual-property or data-use rights;
• Whether customer data may be used beyond providing the contracted services;
• Whether the provider assumes responsibility for compliance with privacy, confidentiality, or data-protection laws; or
• Whether the change creates new liability, indemnity, security, or regulatory risks.

Required Information

Please provide the actual redlined text, using the stated notation—for example, {new text}, [deleted text], and []{replacement text}—to permit a meaningful legal analysis.

Executive Summary

The diff appears to replace or restructure substantial portions of the privacy notice and website navigation. The most important substantive changes concern:

• Broader statements about Blender software distribution and offline use.
• Express permission for schools and companies to distribute Blender internally.
• A new reference to social-media content and possible tracking.
• Addition of a contact email and clarification of Blender Institute’s authority.
• No express provision was added concerning use of customer data to train AI models.

Important Changes and Risks

1. Expanded software distribution rights

The revised text states that Blender may be:

• Downloaded from blender.org or several third-party websites;
• Used without registration;
• Used without internet access; and
• Distributed internally by schools and companies to staff or other authorized users.

Risk/impact:

This clarifies permitted distribution channels and institutional use, but it may also create ambiguity regarding responsibility for software obtained from third-party websites. The notice should distinguish Blender Foundation-controlled downloads from third-party redistribution and explain whether security, authenticity, updates, or support are guaranteed for third-party copies.

2. Privacy and tracking statements retained or repositioned

The revised language continues to state that:

• Blender.org does not permit third-party tracking;
• Blender.org does not display third-party advertising.

However, the text also adds:

> “Social media”

and states that embedded content from other providers may track a user’s interaction.

Risk/impact:

This is an important qualification to the broad privacy promise. Embedded social-media players, videos, sharing tools, or similar content may transmit information to third parties even if the Blender website itself does not use third-party tracking. The notice should identify the providers, data collected, legal basis, cookies or similar technologies, and whether consent is required before loading such content.

3. AI-model training

The supplied diff contains no clear language authorizing, restricting, or describing the use of customer, visitor, or user data to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models.

Accordingly:

• There is no apparent new right to use customer data for AI training.
• There is no new opt-out, consent requirement, deletion right, or limitation specifically addressing AI training.
• The general privacy language should not be interpreted as resolving AI-training issues unless the complete policy contains relevant provisions not shown in this diff.

4. Contact and organizational clarification

The addition of institute@blender.org provides a direct contact address. The revised text also states that Blender Institute B.V. has been authorized by Stichting Blender Foundation to conduct specified activities.

Risk/impact:

This may clarify operational responsibility, but the policy should clearly identify which entity is the data controller, which entity processes data, and how responsibilities are allocated.

5. Drafting and formatting concerns

The diff contains extensive repeated navigation text and apparent word substitutions, including “The Bender software.” These may be markup or extraction errors, but if published they could make the notice confusing or legally unreliable.

Summary of Important Changes

1. Privacy commitments moved or expanded

The revised text expressly states that the Blender Foundation is committed to protecting privacy on blender.org and that:

• No third party will track users on blender.org.
• blender.org will not contain third-party advertisements.
• Embedded content from other providers may track a user’s interaction.
• “Social media” is added as a category of embedded or external content that may create tracking.

Risk/impact: The “no third-party tracking” statement appears limited to blender.org, not to third-party websites, embedded services, social-media platforms, download mirrors, or the Blender software itself. The embedded-content qualification is important because it creates an exception to the otherwise broad privacy message. The policy should identify the relevant providers, tracking technologies, purposes, and user controls if required by applicable privacy law.

2. Software distribution and registration language clarified

The revised wording confirms that Blender software:

• Is free to download and use without registration.
• Does not require internet access to use.
• May be downloaded from blender.org or several third-party websites.
• May be distributed by schools, institutions, or companies.
• May be distributed internally to staff or other authorized users (the supplied diff ends before the full sentence is shown).

Risk/impact: Permitting downloads from third-party websites creates risks involving unofficial, modified, outdated, or malicious copies. The text should distinguish Blender Foundation-authorized distributors from any third-party source and include authenticity or security guidance. The internal-distribution language may also affect organizational compliance, support expectations, and responsibility for maintaining secure copies.

3. Organizational and contact information

The revised text adds the email address institute@blender.org and states that Blender Institute B.V. has been authorized by Stichting Blender Foundation to conduct certain activities.

Risk/impact: This may clarify the responsible entity but could also create uncertainty about which entity is the data controller, contracting party, or responsible party for privacy compliance. The policy should clearly allocate those roles.

4. AI-model training and data use

No change concerning the use of customer or user data to train AI models is visible in the supplied diff. The additions discuss website tracking, embedded content, software distribution, and organizational authority, but do not grant or restrict rights to use user data, uploaded content, prompts, telemetry, or other information for training, fine-tuning, or evaluating AI models.

Important limitation: Because the diff is fragmented and repetitive, confirm that no separate AI-training provision exists elsewhere in the revised policy.
