2. Definitions

In these Terms and Conditions:

2.1 Account means your Service account and profile settings.

2.2 Personal Data means information that relates to an identified or identifiable person, where data protection law applies.

2.3 Private Content means User Content that is visible only to you and any people you explicitly share it with using the Service controls.

2.5 User Content means content you upload, record, submit, or create in the Service, including videos, audio, transcripts, text, templates, feedback, comments, and related materials.

2.6 Templates means structured practice templates, including sections, time guidance, evaluation criteria, and constraints.

2.7 Share Link means a link that allows access to Shared Content.

2.8 Deidentified Data means data processed so it cannot reasonably be used to identify you, directly or indirectly, and we apply safeguards designed to reduce the risk of reidentification.

2.9 Aggregated Data means data combined across multiple users so it is not linked to a single person.

2.10 Optional Choices means the separate opt in choices in the Service that allow certain additional uses of Deidentified Data and Aggregated Data.

2.11 Consumer means an individual using the Service for personal purposes.

3. Eligibility and Your Account

3.1 You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age where parental consent is required in your location, you confirm you have that consent.

3.2 You may use a display name. You do not need to use your legal name. If you share audio or video, your voice or appearance may still identify you.

3.3 You are responsible for activity on your Account and for keeping login details secure.

3.4 You must provide accurate Account information and keep it up to date.

3.5 We may suspend or terminate Accounts that breach these Terms and Conditions.

4. The Service

4.1 Or8tor helps users practise public speaking by allowing you to record or upload practice sessions and receive automated analysis, scoring, feedback, progress tracking, and community features.

4.2 The Service may generate transcripts, timing, pacing information, filler word counts, and other coaching metrics. It may also generate feedback about delivery, structure, body language, and similar features.

4.3 Outputs are generated by automated systems and may be incorrect, incomplete, or unsuitable for your circumstances. The Service is for coaching and learning support only and is not professional advice.

5. Privacy by Default and Sharing Controls

5.1 Your practice recordings and related User Content are Private Content by default.

5.2 Private Content is visible only to you and to people you explicitly choose to share it with using the Service controls.

5.3 Shared Content is visible to the audience you select, which may include a community, other users, or the public.

5.4 Once you share content, others may view, copy, download, record, or repost it. We cannot control what others do with Shared Content.

5.5 Leaderboards, challenges, and community features may show your display name and selected activity statistics. Where settings allow, you can adjust visibility.

5.6 You should not share content that includes other people unless you have their permission, and you should avoid sharing personal data you do not want others to see.

6. Your Content and Licences

6.1 You keep ownership of your User Content.

6.2 You grant us a worldwide, royalty free licence to host, store, back up, reproduce, process, and display your User Content to provide the Service to you. This includes generating transcripts, analysis results, coaching metrics, and feedback.

6.3 If you publish Shared Content, you grant us a worldwide, royalty free licence to display, distribute, and make that Shared Content available within the Service and as directed by your sharing settings.

6.4 If you share a Template, you grant us permission to store, display, and provide that Template to the recipients you select, and to run the Template through the Service features as part of providing the Service.

6.5 You represent that you have all rights needed to upload and share your User Content, and that your User Content does not infringe the rights of others.

7. Optional Choices for Deidentified and Aggregated Use

7.1 Separate from accepting these Terms and Conditions, you may opt in to Optional Choices in the Service.

7.2 Optional Choices are off by default and require an affirmative action by you.

7.3 If you opt in, we may create and use Deidentified Data and Aggregated Data derived from your use of the Service and your User Content for the purposes described in the Optional Choices, which may include:

  1. improving, training, and evaluating models and features
  2. creating and publishing aggregated statistics and benchmarks
  3. creating and licensing aggregated insights to third parties

7.4 If you opt in, we will not publish or provide your Deidentified Data or Aggregated Data in a way that is intended to identify you.

7.5 You can withdraw an Optional Choice at any time in settings. Withdrawal stops future use for that purpose. It does not affect processing already carried out before withdrawal.

7.6 If you withdraw consent for model training after models have been trained, we will stop using new data for training, but we may keep using models already trained, because it may not be reasonably possible to remove the influence of one person’s data from a trained model.

7.7 We do not use your Private Content for identifiable marketing unless you give separate express permission for that specific use.

8. Deidentification Commitments and Rights in Aggregated Outputs

8.1 We do not attempt to reidentify Deidentified Data, except for limited testing to check whether deidentification safeguards are working.

8.2 We maintain controls designed to reduce the risk of reidentification, including access limits and technical measures.

  1. not to attempt reidentification
