Adobe collects personal information for accounts and purchases of their products. So if you sign up for an Adobe ID, register through their website or contact customer support you will be sharing personal data. Adobe apps and websites also collect personal information from you.
Personal data collected
When you register for an Adobe account or contact customer support, you share your personal information with them, such as your name, date of birth, company name (if applicable), email address, phone number, address, country, IP address, payment or billing information (which only applies to product purchases), eligibility information for educational purposes, types of apps and websites in the Adobe products you use, and customer support ticket information. In addition to this information, apps and websites through Adobe collect other information from you as well. For example: type of browser and device, website that sent you to Adobe, search terms and search engines that led you to Adobe, analysis of your content that you share through the app or website. If you sign into an Adobe app through a social media account, Adobe receives your demographic information available on your social media account.
