Everything you say aligns with my recent findings. These are the reasons I am hesitant to give my personal data for the appeal process. Their AI is immature and I don't trust it. It say they will keep my personally identifiable data for 30 days and might delegate a third party to use it. Who is the third party? We don't know. I crated a public poll and would appreciate your vote in there. I will publish a story based on my finding. The link is in this piece.
