The policy does not say whether audio or transcripts are used to improve Speechmatics models; customer agreements govern that.
“We collect and process Customer Data as needed to provide our Services to our customers in accordance with our customer agreements. / We process Customer Data solely on behalf of, and as directed by, our customers.”
“Speechmatics retains data only as required or permitted by local law and while it has a legitimate business purpose.”
“As some of our hosting is provided by third party cloud providers, the data that we collect from you may be stored and processed in a location outside of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom or Switzerland. / For example, some of our third party cloud providers use servers that are located in the USA.”

Assessment
Reasoning: A speech-recognition API from a UK vendor, sold mostly under contract. The policy treats customer audio as processed on instruction, but is silent on model improvement and admits US hosting for some services. Usable with a contract that fixes both points; self-serve API use is medium.
Flags: Training-use of audio not stated · Some hosting in the USA · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
