Is Synthesia safe with your data?

Biometric handling is spelled out

The policy names the purposes for facial geometry and voiceprint processing, requires explicit consent for it, holds verification recordings only until the sample comparison completes, and commits to permanently destroying biometric data afterwards, including at its vendors.

Training use is left unstated

Model improvement appears only as a legitimate interest in improving the platform and enhancing model capabilities and safety. The policy never says whether the scripts, voice samples and videos users submit are used to train models, and it names no opt-out.

Retention has no clock

Account data is kept for as long as necessary for the purposes described in the policy, with no number attached, and the policy reserves the right to keep information after an account is deleted to pursue legitimate business interests.

Ownership runs to the employer

Content a user submits is owned by the Customer that bought the subscription, typically their employer, which controls retention, export and deletion settings. The individual user who recorded the voice or likeness holds no ownership and is told to ask the Customer about its plans.
