ElevenLabs' Creative Terms put consent records on the customer (five years or the legal period, shown on request); the Terms let the user request deletion of User Voice Models and opt out of training use of Content, with effect only going forward. Microsoft's Product Terms let Microsoft retain a copy of each Synthetic Voice and acknowledgement audio under a customer-granted licence; Microsoft's talent disclosure says it keeps the recorded statement as long as needed for security and integrity and may keep a copy of custom neural voice models; the Code of Conduct requires apps serving external users to let them remove their voice. Texts compared at dated versions; a synthesis of vendor statements, not a legal analysis.
