Retention and exercise of your rights

Depending on applicable law, you have rights of access, export, rectification, deletion, objection and consent withdrawal. They are available from your account or from the privacy contact indicated in the legal notice.

Default durations

History and summaries: kept for the life of your account, deleted immediately if you erase them or delete your account.
Submitted source text: kept for as long as needed to generate the summary, then deleted.
Generated audio files: kept in your private space for the life of your account, removed from object storage when the account is deleted.
Dataset items not yet trained on: 24 months at most, deleted immediately if consent is withdrawn.
Technical logs: 12 months at most.
Proof of consent and accounting records: statutory retention period (accounting and tax obligations), even after account deletion.
Backups: purged by rotation; deleted data disappears from backups at the latest when the current rotation expires.

Withdrawal immediately excludes the data from new uses and triggers the applicable deletion requests. A model whose training is complete cannot always be technically «untrained».

1. Data categories and durations

The periods below apply unless a contrary legal obligation or early deletion from your account applies.

2. Exercising your rights (GDPR and equivalents)

You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent. These rights are exercised directly from your account (data export, account deletion) or by writing to the data protection contact shown in the legal notice.

We reply within the statutory one-month period. On an erasure request, your account, summaries, source text and audio files are deleted without delay; only records whose retention is required by law remain (proof of consent and accounting records). You may also lodge a complaint with the CNIL. Legal Notice.

3. Deletion and revocation

Account deletion is permanent. It erases your data, removes your audio files from object storage, ends your dataset eligibility and expires pending exports. Withdrawing consent (for example for model improvement) immediately excludes your data from new uses.

This erasure is scheduled and automated: it does not depend on manual action, to avoid any accidental retention beyond the planned period.

4. Data outside the account and proofs

Beyond account data, proof of consent and accounting records are kept for the period required by law, irrespective of any account deletion. Technical logs are kept for 12 months at most.
