4) Legal bases (EEA/UK)
Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we rely on:
- Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) to deliver the Services.

5) How we share information
We do not sell personal information. We may share:
- Service providers / processors: hosting, storage, transcription, analytics, customer support, payment processing—bound by confidentiality and data-processing terms.

- Legal & safety: to comply with law, enforce terms, or protect rights, safety, and security.
- Business transfers: merger, acquisition, financing, or sale; information may be transferred as part of the transaction with appropriate protections.
- With your direction: if you request or authorize sharing (e.g., connected integrations).
6) Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed to deliver Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
- Audio & project files: retained per your workspace settings or contract; you may request deletion.

You can lodge a complaint with your local authority (e.g., ICO in the UK). We encourage contacting us first so we can resolve your concern.

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information (encryption in transit, access controls, audit logging, least-privilege access). No system is 100% secure; please use strong passwords and notify us of any suspected unauthorized activity.
12) AI, audio, and third-party voices
You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload audio that includes third-party voices and for providing any required consents or notices. If we receive a valid takedown or privacy request relating to third-party content, we may remove or restrict it.
