Our Privacy Policy governs how we collect and use personal information submitted to our products.
Hume AI is HIPAA compliant, with features to enhance user privacy and data control. Our portal currently supports enabling/disabling these features in the user’s profile page.
Zero data retention: This feature allows users to turn off the storage of all chat histories (transcripts) or voice recordings for the EVI API. Other metadata such as API usage information will still be stored.
Opt-out of data being used for training: By default, anonymized data from user interactions with the EVI API is used to improve our models. Users can toggle this option to prevent data from being used for training purposes.
For added control, use a custom language model and obtain a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) directly with the model provider. To request a BAA and/or Data Processing Addendum (DPA) with Hume, please contact [email protected].
By default, data retention for EVI is enabled, and user data may be used for model training. Users must explicitly opt out to disable these features.

Opting out of data retention will disable certain features, including the ability to resume chats and access your chat history.
For the Expression Measurement API, we maintain strict data privacy practices:

Once you submit your deletion request, we will delete your account within 30 days.
