AI features (per Connor): - The "Anthropic — receives prompts and queries only" representation was not truthful: document text/excerpts are sent to Claude to perform the requested task. Aligned Anthropic's description with Voyage's (both receive extracted document text/excerpts, not whole files) across the EULA §8, DPA §C5, and the subprocessor page. - Replaced the absolute "your files are never transmitted to any AI provider" with an accurate statement: only the document text/excerpts needed for a requested feature are sent, never whole files, and only when that feature runs. - Made explicit that AI features are optional and can be disabled. Threshold billing (EULA §4.4): removed — not a shipped capability (its source note said "remove if not shipped"). Renumbered 4.5/4.6. FLAG for Matt/counsel: this diverges from the source bundle's "no customer files ever transmitted to AI providers / Anthropic prompts-only" line, which was marked "verified against signed provider agreements." The no-training representation is retained but must be re-verified now that document content is acknowledged as sent to Anthropic. Still DRAFT.
