Consent for GenAI Training Cannot Be a Condition of Service
Is this legally binding?
Guidance. Voluntary guidance. Best practice, not obligation, until a contract or a regulator cites it.
GUIDANCE reiterating binding PDPA s 14(2)(a): organisations must not require, as a condition of providing a product or service, consent to use an individual's personal data for AI model training beyond what is reasonable to provide that product or service. Such consent is invalid (s 14(3)).
