ElevenLabs may use the voice recordings you upload or create on its platform to train and improve its AI systems, meaning your voice becomes part of the data that makes their product better.
Users who upload voice recordings to ElevenLabs may have that biometric voice data incorporated into AI training datasets, which persists beyond any individual session and may be difficult or impossible to fully remove from trained models after the fact.
