What it is

Suno's page code sets advertising and analytics tracking to 'off' by default for users in EU, EEA, UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, but sets all tracking to 'on' by default for everyone else, including US users.

This analysis describes what Suno's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)
