"Snov.io exhibits high-risk privacy practices comparable to Facebook/TikTok due to extensive collection of email credentials, full inbox contents, and third-party prospect data shared with 25+ third parties including OpenAI and Facebook, coupled with tracking pixels, session recording, and data transfers to non-GDPR-adequate jurisdictions. The company retains prospect data for 90 days post-deletion, implements policy changes with assumed consent, and outsources deletion compliance to uncontrolled third-party data controllers. Email content is independently processed by OpenAI for undefined periods despite claims of non-training use."

snov uses your content to train AI
Below is what's used and how (if at all) you can object.
What Content Is Used

How to Object
