Privacy Policy

Updated 25 October 2024

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how Eleven Labs Inc. and our affiliates ("we", "our", or "us") process Personal Data of individuals who use our services, including our platform, websites (e.g., elevenlabs.io), mobile applications, and other online services (jointly, the "Services"). This Policy also explains your rights and choices about how we use your Personal Data, including how you can access or update certain information about you.

In this Policy, "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, such as an individual's name, address, telephone number, or email address. In certain jurisdictions, this may also be referred to as “Personal Information” 

This Policy does not apply when we offer our Services and process Personal Data on behalf of enterprise/business customers. We act as a service provider/processor for those relationships and our use of that data is governed by our customer agreements.

1. Categories of Personal Data We Collect:

(a) Personal Data You Provide to Us

• Contact Details. When you set up an account to use our Services, we ask you to provide your contact details such as your name, email address, phone number, address, contact preferences, and date of birth.
• Text to Audio Input. We process any text or other content that you choose to share with us or input into our Services in order to generate synthetic audio clips reading your text, as well as any Personal Data that you may decide to include in your text.
• Audio Recordings and Voice Data. We collect any audio recordings of your voice that you choose to share with us, which may include Personal Data, as well as data about your voice (“Voice Data”) to provide our Services to you. You may also provide additional audio recordings to allow ElevenLabs to verify that it is your voice featured in the audio recording being provided. 
• Profile Information and User Content. When you sign up for our Services, you may indicate how you intend to use the Services (e.g., professional use). If you decide to make your voice model available to other users in the Voice Library, you can choose to include a profile description including your name, bio/description, your social media usernames and links to your social media accounts, and the characteristics of your voice. Some profile information you provide will be viewable by other users of our Services. We collect other information you may input when you use the services, upload files or leave feedback.  
• Feedback/Communications. If you contact us directly or express interest in using our Services, we collect Personal Data including your name, email address, the contents of a message or attachments that you may send to us, and other information you choose to provide. If you subscribe to our newsletter, then we will collect Personal Data from you, such as your name and email address. When we send you emails, we may track whether you open them to learn how to deliver a better customer experience and improve our Services. If you respond to a survey, we will capture your responses and any other Personal Data you provide. 
• Payment Details. When you register to use any of our paid Services or decide to get paid by making your voice model available to other users, our third-party payment processor, Stripe, collects and processes your payment-related information, such as your name, email, billing address, credit/debit card or banking information or other financial information. Please consult Stripe's privacy policy here.
• Verification Information. We may ask you to provide a proof of address, copy of a personal identification card or passport and other information as required to confirm your identity and background to use our Services.
• Other Information You Provide.  We may collect other information you may provide to us, such as when you use our alpha or beta products and services, participate in our responsible disclosure program, attend events hosted by us, interact with us online or offline, or confirm your identity.   Some of these services may have additional terms.   

(b) Personal Data We Collect Automatically From You and/or Your Device

• Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies. We and our third-party partners may collect information about you using cookies, pixel tags, SDKs, or similar technologies. Where the term "Cookies" is used in this Policy, this includes both cookies and similar technologies. Categories of information that we may collect using cookies includes: 
• • Location Information. When you use our Services, we infer your general location information, for example by using your internet protocol (IP) address.
  • Device Information. We receive information about the device and software you use to access our Services, including IP address, web browser type, operating system version, phone carrier and manufacturer, application installations and versions, device identifiers, mobile advertising identifiers, and push notification tokens.
  • Usage Information. We receive information about your interactions with our Services, such as the content you view, the actions you take or the features with which you interact when you are using the Services and the dates and times of your visits.

(c) Personal Data We Collect from Third Parties

• Information from Third Parties. We collect publicly available information from third-party sites to enable the training of our models and systems. We may also work with third parties directly to collect information to enable the training of our models and systems.
• Third-Party Logins. If you choose to register or log in to our Services using your account with third parties, we receive Personal Data about you from such third parties, such as your name, email address, username, and profile picture.  
• Information from Service Providers. We may receive information that you have shared with certain third-party service providers, for example in relation to our verification / background checks, such as ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) and ‘Anti-Money Laundering’ (AML) checks.

In some cases, we need to collect your Personal Data to provide you with our Services. In these cases, if you choose not to provide the requested Personal Data, you may not be able to use our Services. We will tell you if providing Personal Data is required by law or under a contract and what are the consequences of failing to provide it.    

2. Purposes of Processing Personal Data and Legal Basis:

(a) Purpose and Legal Basis

Depending on the country in which you are located, we will only process your Personal Data based on a valid legal ground. The table below describes the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and the legal grounds. Depending on where you are located, when we rely on legitimate interest as the legal grounds to process your Personal Data, you have the right to object to that processing using the online form set out in Section 7 (“Your Rights”).

We only rely on our or a third party's legitimate interests to process your Personal Data when we determine that these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. When we are using your information because we or a third party have a legitimate interest to do so, you may have the right to object to that use.

(b) Personal Data and ElevenLabs Voice Modeling Services 

ElevenLabs uses Voice Data to provide its voice services, including voice modeling, speech-to-speech, and dubbing services. For voice modeling, when you provide us with recordings of your voice, we utilize our proprietary, AI-based technologies that analyze your speech characteristics to formulate a distinct voice model of your vocal traits. This voice model can be used to generate audio resembling your voice. Depending on where you reside and how we use your Voice Data (as set out in this Policy), applicable law may define your Voice Data as biometric data. We do not use Voice Data to infer characteristics about an individual.

(c) Personal Data and ElevenLabs Training Models  

ElevenLabs uses Voice Data to help our models and products learn about patterns and connections in speech and audio content and to improve our Services. We do not use Voice Data, Personal Data, or publicly available data used for training to profile or target consumers.  

(d) Content Moderation and User Suspension

ElevenLabs does not undertake to review all Content and expressly disclaims any duty or obligation to monitor or review content. However, in order to maintain the integrity and security of your data, and for fraud prevention purposes, ElevenLabs reserves the right to moderate all voice and text data input into ElevenLabs tools and voice or other outputs. In certain circumstances, ElevenLabs may share your inputs or outputs, which may include Personal Data, with third parties to support the content moderation and safety initiatives. Users found to have engaged in activity that violates the Prohibited Use Policy may be subject to termination or suspension under the applicable Terms of Service. 

3. Data Recipients:

Your Personal Data may be shared with:

• Affiliates. We may share any Personal Data we receive with our current or future affiliates for any of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
• Vendors and Service Providers. We may share your Personal Data with third-party vendors and service providers who provide services such as verification/background checks, content moderation, website hosting, data analysis, advertising, information technology and related infrastructure provision, customer service, email delivery, auditing, and payment processing.  
• Other Users. We may share your Personal Data with other users if you instruct us to do so, for instance, if you decide to make your voice model available to other users in the Voice Library, or if you decide to include a profile/description for other users to consult. If you decide to make your voice model available to other users in the Voice Library, we will also post a sample of the synthetic audio generated from your voice model for other users to preview how the voice will sound. Certain services and features may allow you to display or share information directly with other users. For example, you may share files or outputs or send information users outside of our tool. Be sure you trust any user with whom you share information.   
• Third Parties.  We may jointly develop, promote or offer products and features with other companies or partners which may require providing access to your Personal Data for the purpose of (a) providing, maintaining or supporting the services you requested, (b) analyzing and improving our services, and (c) marketing, advertising and other promotional activities. Certain services and features may allow you to display or share information with third parties. For example, you may share files or outputs or send information to third-party applications. Be sure you trust any third party with whom you share information.   
• As Required By Law and Similar Disclosures. We may access, preserve, and disclose your Personal Data with law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and public authorities or pursuant to the exercise of legal proceedings if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to (a) comply with law enforcement requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; or (b) protect your, our, or others' rights, property, or safety.

When determining the specific retention period, we consider various factors, such as the type of service provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, and mandatory retention periods provided by law and any relevant statute of limitations. ElevenLabs will not keep data it generates about your voice longer than 3 years after your last interaction with us, except as required by law.
