Perpetual AI Training License Over User Submissions — Suno

Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

By uploading anything to Suno — text, audio, voice recordings — you confirm that Suno can use that content to train and improve its AI models without paying you or asking anyone else for permission.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your uploaded content — including voice audio — becomes training material for Suno's AI indefinitely, meaning your creative work and biometric-adjacent voice data may be embedded in Suno's models long after you close your account.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

Delete Your Data

Contact Suno at legal@suno.com to request deletion of your personal data and Submissions. Note that data already used in AI model training may not be reversible — submit your request as early as possible and reference your account email address.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates GDPR Articles 6(1) (lawful basis for processing) and 9 (special category data, potentially applicable to voice biometrics) for EU/EEA users. Illinois BIPA (740 ILCS 14/1 et seq.) is directly engaged by voice recording collection for AI training purposes, with enforcement by private right of action and statutory damages of $1,000–$5,000 per violation. The Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (CUBI) and Washington My Health MY Data Act also apply. CCPA §1798.100 governs California users' rights regarding personal information used for AI training. FTC Act Section 5 applies to potentially unfair data practices. Primary enforcement authorities include state AGs, the FTC, and private plaintiffs under BIPA. 2)
