- Raw footage almost always contains personal data: the faces and voices of people on screen, and with voice cloning or face editing you are working with biometric data. Arrange consent from the people depicted and, for voice cloning or lip-sync, from the actor or speaker. Check per tool what happens to uploads. CapCut may use your input and output for training under its standard terms (not on Enterprise), VEED does so on the 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 state that 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.
