Assessment
Reasoning: A video and podcast editor with voice cloning. Recordings and projects may train the vendor's models, voiceprints and facial geometry are retained up to three years after last use, and everything is in the United States. Recorded meetings and internal video are the likely uploads, so the biometric retention applies to staff and to anyone else on the recording.
Flags: Training on content · Biometric data (voiceprints, facial geometry) retained up to 3 years · GDPR Chapter V (US storage) · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
