DeepL revised its Terms and Conditions to expand the definition of 'Content' to explicitly include audio files, clarify that Content is processed by 'machine learning infrastructure' rather than just 'the Services', introduce a new 'DeepL Voice' umbrella term covering both conversation and meeting translation services, add a new section permitting access through third-party AI assistant applications via DeepL's Model Context Protocol endpoint, and correct a minor typo ('conconsideration' to 'consideration'). These changes formalize DeepL's use of machine learning for content processing and establish a new access pathway through compatible third-party applications.
Businesses: If you send audio to DeepL, it will be processed through machine learning systems, not just stored temporarily.
Developers: If you integrate DeepL through a third-party AI assistant, that usage counts toward your subscription limits and must be tracked.
The updated terms explicitly state that audio files are now included in the definition of 'Content' and that all Content is processed by DeepL's machine learning infrastructure. This formalizes what may have been implicit practice and clarifies the scope of data subject to machine learning processing. The terms also introduce a new access method through third-party AI assistant applications via DeepL's Model Context Protocol endpoint; usage through this pathway counts toward your subscription's usage limits and volumes. You can review the Service Specification for details on how third-party application access operates.
→ Review the Service Specification to understand how third-party AI assistant access via Model Context Protocol operates and how it affects your subscription usage limits.
→ If you process audio through DeepL, verify that your data processing agreements with DeepL address machine learning processing of audio data.
