Watch: audit rights dpa residency
Start here. These are the highest-risk verified clauses AIRIN found in the platform's own policy text.
Data residency is fixed in the United States with no opt-out mechanism. The document acknowledges US law may differ from local privacy law. For EEA/UK users this is partly mitigated by SCCs mentioned later, but the underlying storage location is non-negotiable.
Account termination for ToS violations does not trigger automatic data deletion; users must request it and Speechify may decline. This enforcement discretion creates uncertainty about post-termination data rights.
This clause carves out specific categories of disputes — including intellectual property enforcement, theft/piracy/privacy claims, and injunctive relief — from the informal negotiation and binding arbitration requirements, and includes a severability provision for illegal or unenforceable portions.

" This license is: worldwide, which means it’s valid anywhere in the world non-exclusive, which means you can license Your Content to others royalty-free, which means there are no monetary fees for this license"
This attribution requirement is a restriction on how free-tier and non-signed-up users can publish or commercially exploit generated outputs. Paid users appear exempt, creating a tier difference.
"We ask that the Content Generated using our Services by users subscribed to free plans and by non-signed-up users be attributed to Speechify when published outside of our platform by including Speechify.com in the description."
This clause defines key terms including Affiliate, Business Customer, Consumer, and Copyright as used throughout the agreement, establishing the legal scope of each concept, with 'Affiliate' being particularly operative as it determines the scope of entities bound by or benefiting from the terms.

"developing new technologies and services for Speechify consistent with these terms"
This purpose clause extends the license beyond operating existing services to developing new technologies, which could encompass training future AI models on user content.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"operating and improving the Services, which means allowing the Services to work as designed and creating new features and functionalities. This includes using automated systems and algorithms to analyze Your Content: for spam, malware, and illegal content to research and development such as e.g. recognize patterns in data for improving the quality of our Service, such as delivering ever higher quality voices This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored. "
The license granted to Speechify expressly permits using user content for research and development to improve service quality (e.g., voice synthesis quality), which constitutes training use. This applies to content as it is sent, received, and stored.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" By Uploading Files to our Services, you confirm that you are either the owner of these Files or that you have the necessary rights and permissions to use these Files. You can only Upload files if you tick a checkbox confirming this. For example, if you upload somebody’s voice recording to our Services, you confirm that you have permission from the voice owner to clone and synthesize their voice. Only you are responsible for securing these rights and permissions. We ask that the Content Generated using our Services by users subscribed to free plans and by non-signed-up users be attributed to Speechify when published outside of our platform by including Speechify.com in the description."
"We ask that the Content Generated using our Services by users subscribed to free plans and by non-signed-up users be attributed to Speechify when published outside of our platform by including Speechify.com in the description."
This span carries the plan-specific language - verbatim from the policy.
Requires users to confirm ownership or authorization over uploaded files, imposes responsibility on users to secure all necessary rights and permissions including voice owner consent for voice cloning, and requires attribution of generated content for free/non-signed-up users.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"If you subscribed to an Enterprise plan and you request a refund of your most recent payment within the last 30 days, please do let us know by email to your account representative within our company. We do not honor requests for refund of payment more than 30 days in the past or if you have used more than 5 minutes from the monthly limit in the period for which you are seeking the refund. Monthly subscriptions are non refundable, regardless of usage."
"If you subscribed to an Enterprise plan and you request a refund of your most recent payment within the last 30 days, please do let us know by email to your account representative within our company."
This span carries the plan-specific language - verbatim from the policy.
Refund policies differ materially by tier. Monthly subscribers are fully at risk of non-refund; Enterprise has limited 30-day window with a 5-minute usage threshold. This creates significant financial risk for monthly plan users who encounter service issues.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" This license is for the limited purpose of: operating and improving the Services, which means allowing the Services to work as designed and creating new features and functionalities. This includes using automated systems and algorithms to analyze Your Content: for spam, malware, and illegal content to research and development such as e.g. recognize patterns in data for improving the quality of our Service, such as delivering ever higher quality voices This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored."
Extends the license purpose to developing new technologies and services for Speechify consistent with the terms, permitting use of user content for product development and innovation.

" As Speechify evolves, we may need to update this Policy to keep pace with changes in our Site, Software, and Services, our business, and laws applicable to us and you. We will, however, always maintain our commitment to respect your privacy. We will notify you of any material changes that impact your rights under this Policy by email (to your most recently provided email address) or post any other revisions to this Policy, along with their effective date, in an easy-to-find area of the Site, so we recommend that you periodically check back here to stay informed of any changes. Please note that your continued use of Speechify after any change means that you agree with and consent to be bound by the new Policy. If you disagree with any changes in this Policy and do not wish your information to be subject to it, you will need to delete your Speechify account."
Imposes an obligation on Speechify to notify users of material changes to the Privacy Policy that impact their rights via email or prominent posting, while reserving the right to update the policy as the business evolves, and encouraging users to periodically review the policy.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" You can remove your Personal Data from Speechify at any time by deleting your account as described above. However, we may keep some of your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary for our legitimate business interests, including fraud detection and prevention and to comply with our legal obligations including tax, legal reporting, and auditing obligations. Other reasons include: whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records for a certain period of time before we can delete them) and whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as regarding applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations)."
Establishes that while users may delete personal data by deleting their account, Speechify may retain some personal data for legitimate business interests including fraud prevention and legal obligations such as tax, reporting, and auditing requirements, defining the conditions and limits of data retention after user deletion requests.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.

With your consent, our email provider (Customer.io) may use cookies or similar technologies to measure email deliverability and engagement (e.g., opens, clicks)."
Explicit naming of third-party data processors is positive for transparency, but users should note that each of these providers operates under their own privacy practices and data retention policies, which may vary significantly.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" We do not proactively monitor the Content you Upload to our Services. You are responsible for the Files you Upload and generate using our Services. We may be required to take action if we find that the Content you Upload or generated violates the law or these terms. As a user of our Services, you agree not to use our Services to: violate any national or international law violate the rights of others, or in any way that is illegal, threatening, fraudulent, or harmful, including Generating Content that discriminates against people based on their race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, age, sex, gender, sexual orientation and/or preference, or physical handicap violate the rights of others, including but not limited to infringing Copyright, right of publicity, right of likeness, and/or any other Intellectual Property Rights, or to defame a third party or cast a third party in false light fraudulently impersonate other people or companies exploit or harm minors harass or threaten any person or to promote violence against a specific person or class of people trick or mislead us or other users, especially in an attempt to learn sensitive account information, for example user passwords disable, interfere with or circumvent security-related features of our Services interfere with, disrupt, or create an undue burden on our Services or the networks or services connected to ours engage in any automated use of the systems (except of our Public API), for example by using scripts to send comments or messages, or using any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction tools copy our Services’ software, including all code reverse assemble, reverse compile, decompile, translate or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying"
Establishes that Speechify does not proactively monitor content, places responsibility for uploaded/generated content on users, and enumerates prohibited uses including illegal activity, rights violations, harmful content generation, and discriminatory content.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"Discretionary Powers: Speechify reserves the right to make the final decision on what content and behavior aligns with or violates our Terms of Service."
This unilateral discretion clause means Speechify's content decisions are effectively unreviewable by users beyond the internal appeals process, creating risk of arbitrary enforcement.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"If Speechify closes your account due to your violation of the Terms of Service, then you may contact Speechify to request deletion of your data. Speechify will evaluate such requests on a case by case basis, pursuant to our legal obligations."
Account termination for ToS violations does not trigger automatic data deletion; users must request it and Speechify may decline. This enforcement discretion creates uncertainty about post-termination data rights.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"You are solely responsible for Content Generated using Uploaded Files you do not own or do not have permission to use."
This clause places exclusive liability on users for generated content derived from files they lack rights to, creating significant indemnity-like exposure even without an explicit indemnification clause, as users bear all legal consequences of unauthorized use.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"Speechify won’t be responsible for the following liabilities: loss of profits, revenues, business opportunities, goodwill, or anticipated savings indirect or consequential loss punitive damages Speechify’s total liability arising out of or relating to these terms is limited to the greater of (1) €500 or (2) 125% of the fees that you paid to use the relevant Services in the 12 months before the breach"
This clause limits Speechify's EU/UK liability by excluding broad categories of loss and capping total recovery. While the €500 floor is slightly higher than the US version and the 125% multiplier is more generous, the exclusion of consequential losses is significant for business users who may suffer large indirect damages.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" We are unrestrictedly liable for damages that have been caused by deliberate intention or by gross negligence. In cases of slight negligence, we are only liable if we have infringed a fundamental duty and if the purpose of the contract is threatened thereby or if we have infringed duties that have to be fulfilled for the duly contract implementation and if you generally rely on the fulfillment of these duties. In the aforementioned cases, we are only liable for typical, foreseeable damages at the time the respective Service was performed. We will not be liable hereunder (i) by reason of any failure to timely perform our duties hereunder due to an event beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God; acts of terrorism; civil unrest; war; fires; power cuts; epidemics or (ii) for initial defects without fault (§ 536a (1) German Civil Code (BGB)) If we are not liable or our liability is restricted hereunder, this also applies to the personal liability of our employees, legal representatives, and assistants in performance. The aforementioned restrictions of liability do not apply to cases of damages to life, body, or health, to cases of warranting for the condition of a product, and to cases of fraudulent concealment of defects by us, our legal representatives or assistants in performance or under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz). We are liable for the loss of data only up to the amount that would have been incurred to restore the data if it had been properly and regularly backed up. "
This clause establishes the scope of Speechify's liability, imposing unlimited liability for intentional or grossly negligent acts, limiting liability for slight negligence to fundamental duty breaches with foreseeable damages, and beginning to enumerate exclusions from liability.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" PUBLICITY, AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF OUR SERVICES, INCLUDING THE VOICE CLONING SERVICE; (4) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF OUR SERVICES; (5) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SERVICES, SECURE SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION AND/OR FINANCIAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN; (6) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES; AND/OR (7) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES BY ANY THIRD PARTY. "
Provides an enumerated list of categories for which Speechify bears no liability, including loss from use of the Voice Cloning Service, personal injury or property damage from service access, unauthorized access to personal or financial data, transmission interruptions, and malware transmitted through the platform by third parties.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING. CERTAIN US STATE LAWS AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS."
Caps Speechify's total aggregate liability for any cause of action to the amount paid by the user in the six months prior to the claim arising, and carves out applicability where state or international laws prohibit such limitations, preserving additional user rights where legally required.

Cross-clause notes
Two verified clauses intersect on the same subject matter: the Privacy Policy addresses how long content is retained, and the Terms of Service addresses use of content in connection with model training or service improvement. Both clauses are in force at the same time — read them together.
The Terms of Service describes rights the platform takes in user content, and the Privacy Policy describes disclosure of data to third parties or subprocessors. Both clauses are in force at the same time — read them together.
Verified retention clauses point in different directions: the Privacy Policy describes broad or open-ended retention, while the Privacy Policy describes deletion or erasure. Which clause controls in a given situation is not resolved by the documents' text alone — this is surfaced as an ambiguity, treated as Caution.
Automated cross-reference against the published rubric — not legal advice.

Latest stance: sale or sell on data retention
“Delete your personal information from Speechify by deleting your account. You must be signed into your Speechify account to submit this request, and you will be required to provide your password to confirm that you want to delete your account. You can also submit requests by submitting a support ticket or emailing [email protected] . You’ll need to provide us with information sufficient to verify your identity before we can satisfy your request. To do so, you’ll need to log into your account or provide us with certain information regarding yourself and/or your usage of the Site, Software, and Services. You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you need to provide us with written authorization for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us. The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that “sell” personal information. Based on the definition of “sell” under the CCPA and under current regulatory guidance, we don’t believe we engage in such activity and have not engaged in such activity in the past twelve months. Even though we do not sell your personal information, you have the right to opt-out of any potential future selling of your personal information. If you would like to opt-out of any potential future selling of your personal information, please submit a support ticket or email us at [email protected] .”Open timeline citation

We do not engage in such activity; however, if you are a Nevada resident who has purchased or leased goods or services from us, you may submit a request to opt out of any potential future sales under Nevada law by emailing [email protected] . Please note we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request.
