Kling AI presents moderate risk for professional use. While the service explicitly states user data won't be used for model training, there are concerns about broad data collection practices, vague third-party sharing provisions, and limited opt-out mechanisms. The platform collects extensive PII and some SPI categories, though commercial use rights for outputs are clearly granted to paid members.
