According to news on November 19, Kingsoft Office WPS software, which caused controversy last year due to online document review permissions, has been questioned by users again recently.

The reason is that on November 16, WPS official Weibo released a message about the WPS AI public beta. It is reported that this function can help users polish, continue writing, and expand the document level. It can also use AI to help users write in form editing. Formulas, and AI can also be used to generate PPT. It seems to improve the efficiency of users' learning and working.

However, at the same time, some netizens found that in the "WPS Privacy Policy", there was a sentence mentioned: "To improve your use of the AI ​​​​that we provide including but not limited to online document beautification, online PPT beautification, and online form beautification. To ensure the accuracy of the function, we will use the document materials you actively upload as the basic materials for AI training after desensitization.”

These descriptions have caused netizens to question the privacy protection of WPS users.

Late at night on November 18, WPS official Weibo responded and publicly apologized. They said: "After careful review, we deeply feel that the previous version of the statement has caused trouble to users. For this reason, we have updated the "WPS Privacy Policy" , removing easily misleading expressions, and ensuring that its content strictly corresponds to our actual operations.
