- SoundHound collects personal information from website visitors and from customers that use SoundHound’s mobile applications. SoundHound also collects data from business partners who use SoundHound’s voice and audio processing services, where SoundHound acts as the data processor and processes voice, audio, and other data on behalf and upon instructions of its customers (data controllers). SoundHound uses the data we collect to fulfill your requests for services or products from us, verify customer information and to improve the performance of our voice-assistant services and products. We also use the data to monitor and analyze our website, to diagnose and resolve issues, provide our services, improve user experience, prevent online fraud, meet our legal obligations, analyze our performance, and customize the advertisements that you see on our site or elsewhere.

Personal information obtained from interactions with our mobile applications and websites may include: 1) usage information, such as what was searched or interacted with; 2) device information, such as the device, software and operating system used, hardware model, application or browser version, and unique identifiers associated with the device; 3) location information, which may be precise or rough location, depending on how the user accesses the Services; 4) log information, which may include information such as IP address, browser language, date and time of access, browser and domain from which the user is visiting, web pages visited, terms searched, features clicked on and cookie information; and 5) cookies and similar technologies, that may include the IP address or other device address or ID, web browser and/or device type, web pages or sites visited just before using the Services, the pages or other content interacted with on the Services, and the dates and times that the user visits, accesses, or uses the Services. In these contexts, personal information may be shared with the following: 1) SoundHound affiliates; 2) service providers performing services on our behalf; 3) third party services or applications, such as social networks, music streaming services, and transportation providers that users connect to the Services; 4) AI vendors, such as OpenAI as a service provider; 5) SoundHound contractors for quality control purposes; 6) third parties such as law enforcement entities, lawyers, professional advisors, or parties involved in a corporate transaction; 7) third parties, such as vendors, suppliers, advertisers, and analytics companies to improve the Services; and 8) third parties with whom the user shares their data through exporting search results. As a processor, SoundHound is also a voice/natural language processor for third-party applications, where it collects information provided by End Users of the Voice-Enabled Solution, as well as information derived from End User Interactions with the Voice Services. The information that End-Users provide to the Voice-Enabled Solution depends on the specific Solution being used, but may include: 1) registration information, such as name, email address, postal code, or any other information the user provides to us; 2) voice and audio information, which may include input from the microphone that could be from an interaction via voice or audio recording; 3) text queries, which may contain personal information; 4) phone number, when using Voice Services on the End User’s phone; 5) information maintained on the End User’s device, such as the location of the end user, the contact information in the End User’s device address book, or calendars stored on the End User’s device.

What GDPR means, and what it does not
"GDPR compliant" is a claim, not a certification. The verifiable facts are a public DPA, SCC usage, an EU representative, data residency options and a Data Privacy Framework listing.
Read the GDPR guide and browse all vendors with evidenceQuestions buyers ask
Is SoundHound GDPR compliant?
There is no GDPR certification in general use. The verifiable facts are a public data processing agreement, standard contractual clauses, an EU representative and a Data Privacy Framework listing. See the legal artefacts and the DPF row on this page, each with its capture date.
How does CertReports verify this?
Every state carries a capture date, a source and a snapshot link. Registry rows come from the official registry data; vendor statements come from the vendor’s own page or trust centre; nothing is inferred. Vendors can dispute any row and corrections ship within two business days.
