Latest Policy Findings: 2026-06-10

Sketch pairs heavy tracking with clearer limits on model training.

Strongest: AI Training
75/100

Sketch is strongest where it sets guardrails around AI training, with better limits on how prompts, uploads, or workspace data feed models.

Weakest: Ads & Tracking
65/100

Sketch is weakest on ads and tracking because cookie-based tracking remains part of the product or marketing site, ad personalization or marketing measurement still shows up, and behavioral signals can still travel through analytics or partner tools.

Sketch's privacy statement covers the website, Mac app, Web app, and iOS app in one disclosed data-processing framework.

+30Source [1]

The privacy statement is detailed about purposes, legal bases, and user rights instead of hiding data use behind generic language.

+25Source [2]

Sketch does not present itself as a broad AI-training platform and the reviewed privacy source is narrower than many AI-first products.

+20Source [3]

Support communications may be recorded and monitored for analysis, training, and quality control.

-15Source [4]

The public materials still do not give one strong product-wide commitment that every design asset is excluded from future AI-training use.

Data Sharing

Shared documents, workspace members, service providers, and legal authorities can still expose design and account data.

-20Source [6]

Business transfers and third-country transfers remain part of the disclosed sharing model.

-15Source [7]

Sketch clearly identifies itself as the controller and uses a GDPR-oriented privacy framework.

+25Source [8]

The privacy statement is direct about international transfers and legal bases instead of obscuring them.

+20Source [9]

Sketch explains when business customers may provision accounts on behalf of users.

+20Source [14]

Sketch distinguishes necessary cookies from analytics, advertising, and functionality cookies.

Data Retention

65

Mixed

Retention still depends on account state, workspace content, legal duties, and service needs rather than one short universal deletion window.

-25Source [16]

Some categories can be retained for very long periods, including 10 years for legal or VAT-related records.

-10Source [17]

Sketch publishes some concrete retention periods, including 24 months for marketing-consent data.

+20Source [18]

The policy also gives explicit long-stop timelines for some financial and legal records, such as 10-year VAT and legal-claim periods.

+15Source [19]

Users can request access and other rights through direct privacy contact channels.

+15Source [20]

For most users, Sketch says data is kept for the duration of platform and website use.

+15Source [21]

User Control

75

Good

75

Good

Users and admins can manage workspace access, document sharing, and account data.

+20Source [22]

The privacy statement gives clear rights to access data and obtain a copy of personal information.

+20Source [23]

Users can contact Sketch directly to update data or exercise privacy rights.

+20Source [24]

Cookie consent controls separate necessary cookies from analytics, advertising, and functionality cookies.

+15Source [25]

Cloud collaboration privacy still depends heavily on workspace configuration and sharing choices made by users or admins.

-15Source [26]

Some data handling is still driven by legal or contractual obligations rather than user choice.
