Skywork

The terms explicitly grant Skywork broad rights to use user content and outputs for training purposes. Section 3(e) grants 'unrestricted, assignable, sublicensable, irrevocable, royalty-free license' to use Output 'for the purposes of maintaining our Services...introducing, advertising and promoting the Services.' Section 4(b) similarly grants rights to use User Content for 'advertising, marketing and promoting Skywork' and 'other commercial use.' These broad licenses enable AI model training on user data.

“you grant Skywork an unrestricted, assignable, sublicensable, irrevocable, royalty-free license throughout the universe to reproduce, distribute, publicly display...and otherwise exploit and use all or any part of all your Output”

The license granted is extremely broad and unrestricted. Section 3(e) and 4(b) grant Skywork rights that are 'unrestricted,' 'assignable,' 'sublicensable,' 'irrevocable,' and 'royalty-free' with no limitations on use cases, duration, or geographic scope. The license covers reproduction, distribution, derivative works, and commercial exploitation 'by any means and formats now known or hereafter developed.'

“unrestricted, assignable, sublicensable, irrevocable, royalty-free license throughout the universe to reproduce, distribute, publicly display, communicate to the public, make available, create derivative works from”

The terms explicitly permit sharing with third parties. Section 3(e) grants rights to 'retransmit from External Sites' and Section 4(b) includes 'through-to-the-audience rights' meaning External Sites can use content without separate liability. Section 4(c) states owners of External Sites have no separate liability for User Content Posted via the Service, indicating broad third-party access.

“retransmit from External Sites, and otherwise exploit and use all or any part of all your Output through the Service...All of the rights you grant in this Agreement are provided on a through-to-the-audience basis”

The terms provide no explicit data retention limits or deletion rights. While Section 13(b) mentions users may delete User Content using permitted functionalities, there is no specification of retention periods, automatic deletion timelines, or comprehensive deletion guarantees. The broad license grants in Sections 3(e) and 4(b) suggest data may be retained indefinitely for commercial purposes.

“If you wish to delete any of your User Content from the Service, then you may be able to do so using the permitted functionalities of the Website, but the removal or deletion of such User Content will not terminate this Agreement”

Ownership is split with moderate risk. Section 3(e) states 'The ownership, title and interest in and to the AI content generated by Skywork (the Output)...belong to you,' which appears favorable. However, users simultaneously grant Skywork 'unrestricted, assignable, sublicensable, irrevocable' rights to the same content, effectively limiting practical ownership. Section 4(a) allows Skywork to use User Content commercially without attribution or compensation.

“The ownership, title and interest in and to the AI content generated by Skywork (the Output)...belong to you. You acknowledge and agree that you grant Skywork an unrestricted, assignable, sublicensable, irrevocable, royalty-free license”

No SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, or ISO certifications are mentioned in the provided terms. The Privacy Policy mentions GDPR compliance in context of parental consent for minors but provides no evidence of formal certification. Section 10(f) mentions EEA consumer protections but this is reactive compliance, not proactive certification. No security or compliance certifications are referenced.

“Notwithstanding the above terms, if you are a consumer in the EEA, your local consumer laws may provide you with a legal guarantee covering the Platform and/or the Service”
