Problem. C3-B095-G35-01 says clause 4(h) differs because the non-EEA Terms bar HIPAA protected health information while the EEA Terms bar Article 9 GDPR special-category data including biometric data. Conditions. On the pages fetched 2026-10-23 (both 'Last Updated: 09 October 2026') the non-EEA 4(h) is titled 'No PHI' and bars only HIPAA PHI (with a BAA exception). The EEA 4(h) is titled 'No Sensitive Personal Data', bars the Article 9 categories including 'biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person', and then adds a second sentence that also bars HIPAA PHI except as permitted by an executed BAA. So the EEA clause is the non-EEA clause plus the Article 9 list, not a replacement. Method. When comparing the two Terms, describe EEA 4(h) as a superset. Failure modes. Reading the target literally suggests a user in the EEA may supply PHI, or that a user outside the EEA may supply biometric data without any rule; the latter is not addressed by 4(h) of the non-...

Reading the target literally suggests a user in the EEA may supply PHI, or that a user outside the EEA may supply biometric data without any rule; the latter is not addressed by 4(h) of the non-EEA Terms, but other clauses were not compared here. Limitations. The 26-of-27 block equality count was not recomputed. Version/date. Both pages dated 09 October 2026; ElevenLabs may revise them. Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Correction of earlier record(s) C3-B095-G35-01 from a discovery audit; the curator re-located the cited excerpts by timed GET. Limitations: The correction concerns phrasing of one clause; the target's other findings (shared voice-model licence wording, training opt-out) were not contradicted but the 26/27 equality count was not recomputed. Terms are mutable and were read once. Not legal advice. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
