How is your data used in Smule Labs experiences?

Smule Labs experiences are early experiments. We built them to process your voice, show you the result, and keep nothing.

Where your data goes

You record or choose a clip. If you record in the browser, the recording stays on your device until you tap submit. If you're logged in with Smule, you can pick one of your own past performances instead. We only ever fetch performances that belong to your account.
Your clip is sent to Smule's servers. It travels over an encrypted connection to servers operated by Smule. It is not sent to any third-party service.
We process it. Our servers analyze your voice and build your result, for example the model of your vocal tract and your insights. This happens in server memory only. Your audio is never written to disk, a database or a log.
The result is sent back to your browser, once. Your result goes to the browser you used, on your phone or computer. When it has been delivered, the copy on our servers is destroyed immediately.
Nothing is kept. If a result is never picked up, for example because you closed the tab, it is destroyed automatically within a few minutes. We do not keep your recording, your result or anything derived from them.

Your result lives only in the open browser tab. It is not saved in your browser's storage. If you close or reload the page, it is gone.
Anything you save is yours. If you save or share a video or image of your result, that file is created on your device, and only you decide where it goes.

To run the service fairly and keep it safe, we keep a small amount of technical information that can't be used to identify you or your voice:

Usage counters: counts and timings, such as how many requests were processed and how long they took.
Short-lived usage limits: these stop one person from using up everyone's turn. They are stored as one-way scrambled values, not your IP address, and they expire automatically.
A cookie: it keeps you logged in, or, if you're not logged in, lets you pick up your own result.
Your account consent: to use Labs while signed in, you must allow Labs to use your Smule account and the past performances you choose. We record your consent and when you gave it. You can withdraw it at any time; withdrawing logs you out, and you can continue as a guest.

None of these contain your audio, your results or your Smule performances.

Labs reads, it never writes. Using a Labs experience does not change your Smule account, profile, performances, followers or recommendations.
Only your performances, only when you choose. Labs can access only your own performances, and only the one you pick for that experience.
Your Smule data stays where it is. It remains governed by Smule's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, exactly as before.
