WeTransfer recently updated its conditions of use twicein which we learn that from August 8, 2025, the files uploaded on the service will serve to train AI models.
At first, you could read this warning: “You grant us by this A perpetual licenseglobal, non-exclusive, free of fees, transferable and which can be subject to an underside to use your content for exploitation, development, marketing and improvement of the service or new technologies or new services, including for Improve the performance of automatic learning models which improve our content moderation process, in accordance with confidentiality and cookie policy.“
Faced with the anger of the users, This July 15, Wetransfer has slightly changed its conditions of use. There is no longer the mention of a possible improvement of artificial intelligence models from shared files on the service. But we can read this: “hereby, You give us a free rights license To use your content in order to exploit, develop and improve the service, in accordance with our confidentiality and cookie policy.“
Certainly, artificial intelligence is not clearly mentioned, but Nothing prevents the company from using your files to form its models, pretending to be “Improvement of the service“.
In any case, Wetransfer may put many users on the back. The company also pushes the plug further, and also announces that “cThis license includes the right to reproduce, distribute, modify, create derived works from the content, distribute it, communicate it to the public, display it and represent it publicly“And as if it was not enough, Wetransfer adds that”You will not be able to claim any compensation for the use of content by us in the context of these conditions.”
