GOOD TO KNOW
Safety and privacy
Audio can imitate identity
Never use a voice to deceive. Professional Voice Clones can only be created from your own verified voice; other speakers must manage and share their own clone.
Protect private material
Audio and voice models can be biometric or sensitive personal data. Collect informed permission, restrict sharing and understand storage and deletion controls.
Keep human control
Approve every script, pronunciation, disclosure, commercial right and final audio file.
