2. Changes to Policy  GTB may change this Policy by posting an updated version of the Policy at https://gttb.com/acceptable-use-policy-ai /, without explicit notice, and the terms of the updated Policy will be effective when posted on GTB’s website. GTB is not obligated to provide notice of any revisions to this Policy.   You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any modifications.

This Policy extends those obligations to include the responsible and ethical use of GTB’s software, including any AI, NLP, or machine learning features.   Nothing in this Policy modifies the DPA or expands GTB’s rights to process Customer Data beyond what is authorized under the applicable License Agreement.
