The updated policy discloses how DeepL Voice processes audio data during real-time translation. Audio, transcripts, and translations are deleted after use unless your organization sets a retention period (ranging from 20 seconds to 30 days). The policy also discloses that DeepL processes voice characteristics for speaker matching (up to 30 seconds per session) and may process tone and speaking style if voice matching is enabled. For languages without DeepL's own voice model, the policy now discloses that ElevenLabs processes backup voice data on DeepL's instructions. You can update voice matching settings at any time, and guests can opt out of voice matching or switch to pre-set voices on a per-meeting basis.
