International Data Transfers

High severity

What it is

If you live outside the US, your personal data — including voice recordings — will be transferred to and stored in the United States, where privacy laws provide fewer protections than in the EU or UK.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

EU and UK users' voice recordings and personal data are processed in the US, where they lose the direct protection of GDPR, and the policy's reliance on 'consent via using the service' as a transfer mechanism is legally questionable under GDPR Art. 49.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

EU and UK users' biometric voice data is being transferred to the US, a country without an adequacy decision equivalent to EU standards for all contexts, and the policy attempts to use blanket consent via service use as the transfer mechanism — which GDPR does not permit as a primary transfer basis.

View original clause language
If you are located outside the United States, please be aware that information we collect, including personal data, may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries, which may not have the same data protection laws as your country. By using our Services, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside of your country of residence.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Chapter V (Arts. 44–49) governs international data transfers and requires an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules, or an Art. 49 derogation; the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (adopted July 2023) provides a current adequacy basis for certified US companies; UK GDPR Chapter V imposes analogous requirements; the policy's reliance on user consent as a transfer mechanism is only permissible under Art. 49(1)(a) for non-repetitive transfers, not for systematic processing of all user data.
