Not privateReviewed
Default terms permit indefinite storage and perpetual use of inputs and outputs for labeling, improvement, promotion, and model training.
- Plan Scope
- Cartesia API and web services. Default consumer/developer terms differ from enterprise TTS and STT zero-data-retention arrangements.
- Prompt Retention
- Inputs and outputs may be hosted, cached, stored, reproduced, and used while stored to operate, improve, and promote the service. No default fixed retention period is published.
- Response Retention
- Outputs are covered by the same storage and use license. Enterprise ZDR can prevent retention for eligible TTS and STT payloads.
- Ordinary Logging
- Account, device, service activity, content, and safety or troubleshooting information is collected under the privacy policy.
- Model Training
- Unless otherwise agreed, Cartesia may use inputs, outputs, and interactions for labeling, classification, moderation, and model training under a perpetual license.
- Product Improvement
- Default terms expressly authorize service and model improvement and enhancement with Content.
- Human Or Operator Access
- Cartesia reserves the right to review or monitor inputs and outputs using automated and manual tools.
- Subprocessors And Routing
- Contracted service providers can receive content rights needed to operate the service; third-party services and enterprise subprocessors may separately process data.
- Deletion Controls
- Users can opt out of future training use, but the opt-out does not reverse prior uses or model improvements. Enterprise ZDR is available for eligible TTS and STT APIs.
- Caveat
- Free-tier content is training-eligible by default. The opt-out is prospective, and enterprise ZDR is neither available by default nor applicable to every product.
