Starlink updates Privacy Policy to allow AI model training with personal data
Starlink updated its global privacy policy to allow sharing customer personal information with “trusted collaborators” for training AI models — including for those third parties’ own independent purposes — unless you opt out. The practical impact is that the default is now “yes,” and you have to proactively disable a setting to prevent that data use.
The good news is that the opt-out is straightforward and doesn’t require support tickets or a maze of links: it’s a checkbox in your account profile settings (web or mobile). On the web it’s under starlink.com/account/settings → “Edit Profile,” then uncheck the “trusted collaborators” AI-training toggle and save. If you’re evaluating satellite internet for a business, or you manage connectivity for multiple sites, this is also a reminder to treat “privacy policy updates” as an operational change, not just legal boilerplate — especially when vendors broaden the set of downstream processors and uses.
