Adobe Services API: Can the service be used to generate PDFs with prohibited data?

For a use case we have, we are looking to use the Adobe Services API to generate a PDF off of a Word document that has placeholder variables in.

 

Some of these variables will include what Adobe classifies as Prohibited data and in their Adobe Developer Additional Terms and conditions section 6.11 they explicitly mention that this cannot be include.

 

But when looking at the use cases for this service (see the image below as well as here), all the examples included would include prohibited data.

 

In a nutshell, can this service be used for prohibited data or not given that there is an ambiguity between what the service is advertised for vs the terms and conditions and surely many institutions are already using this service with prohibited data (for example banks and other financial institutions are sending out PDFs of statements with identifying information)?

Yes, the guidelines you mention are a bit too broad here.
