Default: no. Map.ca user content is not used to train AI models, internal or external, without separate, explicit, plain-language permission. This policy defines what permission looks like (granular, revocable, separately collected from the general Terms acceptance), what user content categories are eligible for opt-in training, and what categories are never eligible (sensitive locations, content involving minors, Indigenous community data, civic reports involving people).
It applies to the Map.ca AI team, AI vendors, and any third party that touches Map.ca user content with a model-training pipeline.
Requirements
- Get separate, explicit, granular consent before using user content for AI training.
- Make the consent revocable and document the revocation effect.
Prohibitions
- Do not train AI models on user content without explicit opt-in.
- Do not train on sensitive-location, minor, Indigenous, or civic-report content at all.
