| 85 | +## Use of Azure OpenAI and Claude on AWS Bedrock |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +This section explains how Azure OpenAI supports Marketo AI workflows. Any related diagrams or flow descriptions should be read together with the controls described here, including limitations on data scope, user oversight, and model training. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +**Purpose:** Azure OpenAI GPT-4.1 is used for conversational reasoning and orchestration of agent-driven workflows. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +**Data scope:** Inputs are limited to standard B2B marketing data already present in the user's Marketo Engage environment and necessary to fulfill the requested workflow. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +**AI output:** AI outputs are determined by user prompts and configuration, and Marketo AI features do not make any decisions autonomously without user configuration. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +**Training:** Adobe does not use user data to train or fine-tune Azure OpenAI models for this service. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +**User oversight:** AI-generated outputs remain reviewable within Marketo Engage through conversation and audit history capabilities. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +## Data retention and storage |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +**User-contained outputs:** AI-generated outputs such as cleaned lead lists, QA reports, generated program structures, and normalized data remain within the user's Marketo Engage environment. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +**Governance alignment:** Output data remains subject to the user's existing data governance, residency, and retention controls in Marketo Engage. |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +**No new cross-user store:** The service does not introduce a separate user-to-user data-sharing pathway. |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +## Data processing and storage locations |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +This section summarizes the environments in which Marketo AI operates and where processing occurs. If the document includes regional diagrams or infrastructure visuals, those materials should be understood as high-level representations of service location and processing flow rather than exhaustive network schematics. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +**Application environment:** Marketo AI operates within the user's existing Adobe Marketo Engage environment. |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +**AI processing:** Marketo AI uses Azure OpenAI GPT-4.1 and Claude on AWS Bedrock for conversational reasoning and task orchestration. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +**User data location:** User data and AI-generated outputs remain within the user's Marketo Engage environment and are subject to the user's existing residency, governance, and retention controls. |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +**No separate cross-user store:** The service does not introduce a separate user-to-user data-sharing or storage layer. |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +## PII and data privacy considerations |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +### Data scope by workflow type |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +The data processed by Marketo AI is determined by the user's usage pattern and the specific workflow invoked. Not all workflows require processing lead-level data. |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +### Workflows that process campaign metadata only (no lead PII) |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +* Program creation from brief — generates program structures, smart campaigns, flow steps, and content placeholders from natural-language instructions |
| 128 | +* Email cloning and translation — duplicates and translates email HTML content, subject lines, and marketing copy across language variants |
| 129 | +* Campaign auditing — reviews smart campaign configurations, trigger/filter definitions, flow logic, and naming conventions |
| 130 | +* Program QA validation — evaluates programs against user-defined rules for compliance, approval status, and structural completeness |
| 131 | +* Subscription center and program architecture reviews — analyzes campaign logic and program structure |
| 132 | +* Product knowledge and best-practice guidance — provides Marketo how-to responses from a shared knowledge layer |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +### Workflows that process lead-level records (standard B2B contact fields) |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +* Lead investigation and troubleshooting — examines individual lead field values, activity history, and lifecycle progression to diagnose why a lead did or did not reach MQL or qualify for a marketing campaign |
| 137 | +* Lead import and normalization — processes user-supplied lead data including names, email addresses, phone numbers, and company fields for mapping, cleansing, and deduplication |
| 138 | +* Lead classification and enrichment — evaluates lead records against user-defined scoring or classification logic (e.g., Valid vs Spam leads for database health, Personas for personalization purposes, Business Leads with corporate email leads vs consumer leads) |
| 139 | +* Data quality and deliverability audits — analyzes lead-level engagement data, bounce patterns, and duplicate records to identify database health issues |
| 140 | +* Campaign performance analytics — surfaces lead engagement patterns, conversion data, and audience composition to support performance analysis |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +### Data minimization by design |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +* In all cases, data sent to the AI model is limited to what is required to fulfill the specific user request within that workflow |
| 145 | +* The AI inherits the requesting user's existing Marketo Engage permissions — it cannot access lead records, fields, or programs beyond what the user can already view through the product UI |
| 146 | +* Investigative and data-operations workflows necessarily require lead-level data because the user is explicitly asking the AI to analyze, classify, or act on those records |
| 147 | +* users who wish to limit lead-data processing can restrict access to the tools investigative workflows through existing Marketo Engage role and permission controls while retaining full access to structural and administrative AI capabilities |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +### No incremental data exposure |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +The AI operates as an accelerator on existing user permissions, not an escalation path. A user who cannot view certain lead fields, programs, or partitions in the Marketo Engage UI also cannot surface that data through Marketo AI. The service does not bypass partition rules, field-level permissions, or workspace restrictions. |
