Synthesia policy evolution

“We and our vendors will store and use the Biometric Data described above only until it is no longer needed for the achievement of the above listed purposes. For the creation of an Avatar, Biometric Data is stored and used as long as the Avatar is available on the Platform or as otherwise instructed by our Customer. For authenticating the Avatar submission, Biometric Data is stored and used only until we confirm the results of the samples comparison which usually occurs within few minutes of the submission. After the relevant processing has been completed or where instructed by our Customer, we permanently destroy your Biometric Data, unless otherwise required by law or legal process to retain the data. We require our vendor(s) to similarly delete or destroy Biometric Data. You will be asked whether you consent to the use of your Biometric Data as described above. If you do not consent, or if we cannot otherwise complete the validation checks (for example, if you close the browser without completing all necessary steps), we will not extract Biometric Data from your recordings, process your Biometric Data, or verify or authenticate your identity. This will also prevent you from generating an Avatar. If you do not want to consent to this processing of your Biometric Data you may utilize our Studio Avatar feature in which the validation check happens manually. In order to effectively verify the authenticity of submissions, we may use a third-party verification systems or vendors, including but not limited to Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL.”
