Using a VPN for Security Only — Is It Allowed?

Hi everyone,

I’m an Adobe Stock Contributor and I’m considering using a VPN strictly for security purposes, such as protecting my connection when working on public or unsecured networks.

Just to be clear — I’m not using the VPN to change or hide my location, and I’m not trying to bypass any regional restrictions. The VPN would only be used to encrypt my internet traffic and keep my data safe.

Would this be acceptable under Adobe’s Contributor guidelines?

Has anyone here had experience with this or received clarification from Adobe?

Thanks in advance!
