Legal framework
Everything that governs the use of Uttera — terms of service, privacy, the data processing agreement and cookies — lives on a single page:
Only the summary goes here, with a link to each section. The text that counts is the one on that page: two copies of a legal document end up diverging, and then neither is worth anything.
What it must NOT be used for
This is the section most worth reading before you integrate, because almost everything in it is a crime and not merely a breach of contract:
- Impersonating a person with a cloned voice in order to deceive someone.
- Cloning the voice of an identifiable person without their consent, even if the source material is public. Voice is protected by art. 7.6 of Spanish Organic Law 1/1982.
- Transcribing unlawfully obtained recordings. Recording a conversation you are part of is not a crime in Spain; recording one between others is (art. 197 of the Criminal Code).
- Identifying people by their voice, or building a register of voiceprints.
- Making decisions about people from tone or speaker profiling.

The AI Act and the audio you generate
Since 2 August 2026, article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 applies. If you generate audio that imitates a real person, or that informs the public on matters of public interest, you must disclose it. And if your system converses with someone, that person must know they are talking to a machine.
The duty to technically mark synthetic content is ours, and the adaptation period that applies to us ends on 2 December 2026. Once it is in place, how we mark and how it is verified will be documented here.
If you're a company sending us other people's data
You are the controller and we are the processor (art. 28 GDPR). The processing agreement is written down and serves as such; if you need a signed contract, write to support@uttera.ai and we'll sign it.
