Recordings collected for this project will be used for evaluation purposes only. Your voice samples will be used to prompt speech-enabled AI systems and to assess the accuracy, safety, and quality of the AI's responses.

These recordings will not be used to train new AI models, develop voice synthesis, or create digital voice replicas. Your voice will not be cloned, generated, or used in synthetic speech.

The purpose of this project is to test and measure existing AI systems, ensuring that they respond appropriately, safely, and responsibly in a wide variety of situations. All data will be stored securely and handled in compliance with privacy and data protection standards.
