Descript:

Voice cloning (AI Speakers) collects voice recordings and facial geometry data classified as sensitive/biometric under applicable state laws.

Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you submit to Descript become their property — they own all IP rights in feedback.

Uses Storyblocks stock media library. Stock files can only be used as part of finished projects — cannot share standalone stock files. Audio stock has PRO licenses for public performance.

Content using Descript's stock media may get flagged on YouTube. Descript provides a usage form to resolve false claims but doesn't manage disputes directly.

You can opt out of having projects used for service improvement via the 'Share Data with Descript' setting.

Midjourney:

Images generated by free/trial users are not licensed for commercial use and are published under CC BY-NC 4.0.

Midjourney reserves rights to use your prompts and images for service improvement. Pro plan offers stealth mode for privacy.
