Does ElevenLabs train on your data?
ElevenLabs processes your personal data to train its AI models. An opt-out exists in account settings, but the policy says it only applies going forward.
A self-serve opt-out exists
"Opt-out of Processing Your Data for Training: You may opt out of our use of your Personal Data for training at any time by navigating to the 'Data use' menu in the 'Terms and Privacy' section of your ElevenLabs account."

How we read it: The opt-out is described in the account's Terms and Privacy section, but with a limitation stated plainly: it applies only to personal data provided after you exercise it. Anything already submitted stays in scope, so switching it off does not undo what came before. The policy separately claims publicly available information scraped from third-party sites as training input.

What the document does offer
- "Opt-out of Processing Your Data for Training: You may opt out of our use of your Personal Data for training at any time by navigating to the ‘Data use’ menu in the ‘Terms and Privacy’" — a named menu, in product, free
- "When we rely on legitimate interest as the legal grounds to process your Personal Data, you have the right to object to that processing using the online form set out in Section 8"
- "We do not use Voice Data to infer characteristics about an individual"
- "We do not use Voice Data, Personal Data, or publicly available data used for training to profile or target consumers"
- "default" appears zero times in the capture
Why none of it applies: The most precisely described control on this site so far: it names the setting, the menu it sits in, and the thing it governs, in a heading that says "for Training". A statutory objection sits behind it as a second route. What the document never says is which way the setting ships, and "default" does not appear in it at all — so a reader learns exactly how to switch it and not whether they need to. D on that alone.

How to opt out of ElevenLabs AI training
Plan by plan, from what ElevenLabs's own policy says about refusing. Where it publishes the steps, they're listed here with the limits they carry. Where there's nothing to switch off, or nothing graded, this says so instead of inventing a menu path.
Free & paid plans
Yes. ElevenLabs has a self-serve setting.
- Open your ElevenLabs account settings.
- Go to Terms and Privacy, then the Data use menu.
- Opt out of the use of your data for training.
Applies to data you provide after opting out, by the policy's own words.
What this policy has done since we started watching
No change detected. We've held a copy of ElevenLabs's policy since 1 Aug 2026 and re-read it since, across 3 captures. The text hasn't moved in a way that touches this verdict. That's a fact about the document, and it's only knowable by having kept the earlier copies.
Everything we read
Vendor response
We wrote to ElevenLabs on 20 Aug 2026, quoting the clauses above and inviting a correction. Nothing has come back. That's published because a company declining to comment on its own policy is something a reader should know, and because the invitation should be on the record whether or not it's taken up. Any reply goes here, word for word.
