Grok for video and film production

Q: May I put confidential data into Grok?

Raw footage almost always contains personal data: faces and voices of people on screen, and with voice cloning or face manipulation you are working with biometric data. Arrange consent from the people portrayed and, for voice cloning or lip-sync, from the actor or speaker. Check what happens to uploads for each tool. CapCut may use your input and output for training under its standard terms (not on Enterprise), VEED does so on its free plan, and Descript does so unless you opt out. Runway (ByteDance, Singapore) stores data in Malaysia, Singapore and the US and receives a worldwide, perpetual licence to your content. Adobe, Kapwing, Flawless, Moments Lab and Dubformer say they do not train on your content, Happy Scribe only with your permission. For unreleased client material, choose a tool with a data processing agreement and, where possible, EU storage or local processing. There is no EU data residency; data goes to the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. X/Grok uses public posts and conversations for training by default, with an opt-out. It is the subject of a GDPR investigation by the Irish DPC.
