Privacy policy mentions data collection and use for 'data analysis and statistical research' and sharing with Cimpress companies to 'improve Cimpress products', but does not explicitly state whether user content is used to train AI models. The broad language about data use and sharing with affiliated companies creates moderate risk.

Terms of Use state 'All of the Site assets...are the property of DepositPhotos and its shareholders'. While this refers to site assets, combined with the broad license grant and data sharing provisions, users have limited ownership/control over their content and outputs.
“All of the Site assets, including the system of organization and presentation of the files at the Site, are the property of DepositPhotos and its shareholders”
