Effective Date: 25/12/2025 | Last Updated: 25/12/2025
Beyondt Consultancy and Services ("Beyondt", "we", "us", or "our") operates this platform that enables businesses to collect audio testimonials from speakers and analyze them using artificial intelligence. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose, and protect personal data.
1. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to:
- Users who create accounts and generate invitation links
- Speakers who submit audio testimonials through invitation links (no registration required)
By using our platform, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

When a user generates an invitation link or uses the platform, they may provide:
- Speaker name
- Speaker company
- Speaker designation
- Speaker email address (optional)
- Account and billing-related information (excluding payment card details)
This information is entered by the user, not directly by the speaker.

When a speaker records a testimonial, we collect:
- Voice recordings (audio)
- Transcriptions of audio
- AI-generated sentiment and emotion analysis

- Explicit consent confirmation and related metadata
C. Automatically Collected Information
We automatically collect certain information when users interact with the platform, including:

3. Purpose of Data Processing

4. Consent for Audio Recording
Before recording begins, speakers must provide explicit consent to:
- Audio recording
- AI-based transcription
- AI-based analysis
Consent is captured through an unchecked checkbox and is logged with timestamp, IP address, and consent version. Granting browser microphone permission alone does not constitute legal consent.
5. AI Processing and Third-Party Services
We use third-party service providers to process data, including:
- Hume AI – for emotion and sentiment analysis. Hume may store and use submitted data to train and improve its models.
- OpenAI – for audio transcription and natural language processing
By submitting audio, speakers acknowledge that their data will be processed by these providers in accordance with this Privacy Policy and their respective terms.
6. Automated Processing Disclaimer
All audio analysis is fully automated. No human review of recordings is performed.
AI-generated insights are probabilistic and indicative in nature and should not be treated as definitive assessments or used for medical, psychological, legal, or employment-related decisions.
7. Payments
Payments on the platform are processed through third-party payment processors such as PayPal.
We do not collect or store credit card, debit card, or bank account information. Payment data is handled directly by PayPal in accordance with their own privacy and security policies. PayPal acts as an independent data controller for payment-related information.
8. Data Storage and Security
