“Note with Respect to the Use of Project Information: Notwithstanding the foregoing, we protect the information contained in the Projects you create using the Descript Service (the "Projects") as confidential information, and limit our use thereof, in accordance with the confidentiality obligations set forth in our Terms of Service. The Descript Service automatically processes your Projects, but it does not involve human access to your Projects unless: 1) you provide your consent; or 2) we are required to do so by law. We may also use your Projects to analyze and improve the Descript Service. You can opt out of having your Projects used to improve the Descript Service by disabling the Share Data with Descript setting ( article here ). Note with Respect to AI Speakers: When you use AI Speakers, we record your voice and use it to create a voice model for the purpose of providing the Descript Service. We may also use and store other training data associated with AI Speakers as part of our research datasets to analyze, maintain, and improve our technology, including our voice technology, and for other research and development and data analysis purposes. However, before doing so, we disassociate the data from your account. In addition, we may have our employees and contractors listen to audio samples of your original and your AI Speakers recordings to test their quality and Descript employees may use your AI Voice to create a series of non-defamatory utterances, solely for internal, quality assurance purposes.”

“9.3 Use of AI Speakers. AI Speakers is a feature of the Descript Service that allows you to use an AI Voice to synthesize voice recordings that sound like a Consenting Speaker merely by typing the new words. An “AI Voice” is an AI model trained on voice recordings of a Consenting Speaker. A “Consenting Speaker” is a person (including you) that has given both you and Descript permission to use recordings of their voice to train an AI Voice and to synthesize and otherwise use their voice as described herein. You may create new AI Voices of Consenting Speakers by having a Consenting Speaker read a designated consent statement (a “Consent Statement”), or in some cases by submitting voice recordings of a Consenting Speaker, to be used as training audio (“Training Audio”) to train and create the Consenting Speaker’s artificial voice. By reading the Consent Statement or otherwise submitting Training Audio to us, you consent (and represent and warrant that you have the right to use such Consenting Speaker’s AI Voice and that you have obtained the consent of all Consenting Speakers) to our use and storage of such Training Audio as follows:”
