Safer setup for a small team
Use Acrobat AI Assistant through a business or team Adobe account, and avoid the feedback buttons on documents with customer details, because feedback can be reviewed by people.
Plan to approve: Business or team Adobe account
Setting to check: No AI feedback on customer documents
A line for your AI policy: Staff use Acrobat AI Assistant only through our company Adobe account. Nobody submits feedback on AI answers for documents that contain customer details.
Want this in your team’s AI policy? The SafeStart kit, a plain-English AI policy and training for small teams, is coming soon.
