What we checked in each of the six areas, and what we found there. Not a score: an empty area means not tested yet; "their words" means we quote their documents below but have not tested it. Planet is a seventh row of measured facts from the same first look: what the homepage weighs before any tap, and a CO2e range with its method.
How Adobe Creative Cloud's own help pages say you can reach a person, quoted as written on the date given. We did not contact them. Not tested by us; not a score.

What an independent analysis of the published app file lists for Adobe Creative Cloud (Android version 6.10.1, report of 2024-06-10). A permission says what the app can ask the phone for, not what it does with it. A newer version may differ.
