Below are ElevenLabs‑specific guardrails and best practices for a hackathon project involving voice cloning for training/simulation use. All points are taken from ElevenLabs’ public docs and policies.
What you must not do
- Impersonation without consent or legal right; any deceptive or harmful impersonation; fraud/scams; evading voice verification; spam/robocalls; or other abusive practices are prohibited under the Prohibited Use Policy. (elevenlabs.io)
- Clone someone else’s Professional Voice Clone (PVC): PVC is for your own voice only and requires verification; even with consent you cannot create a PVC of another person’s voice. They must create and share their own PVC to you. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Share AI‑generated or Instant Voice Clones (IVC) in the public Voice Library; only human‑verified PVCs may be shared. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Attempt to create or use “no‑go voices” (e.g., political figures). Such voices are blocked and misuse can lead to enforcement. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Add children’s or child‑like voices to the Voice Library. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Use the service for high‑risk domains without appropriate safeguards (e.g., activities significantly affecting others’ wellbeing) or contrary to ElevenLabs’ policies (e.g., training ML models on ElevenLabs outputs). (elevenlabs.io)
What you can do (ethically and compliantly)
- Use your own verified PVC for realistic simulations, or use default voices, Voice Design, or licensed voices from the Voice Library. PVCs can be shared privately (whitelisting) or publicly via the Library, subject to review. (elevenlabs.io)
- For IVC, you must have the necessary rights/permissions to upload/clone a voice; IVC voices remain in your account and are not shareable. (elevenlabs.io)
- Rely on ElevenLabs’ multi‑layered safety system: celebrity/high‑risk voices are blocked; misuse is monitored/enforced; you can report concerns. (elevenlabs.io)
- Enable Live Moderation (where available) on shared voices to screen prohibited text prompts at generation time. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Disclose AI use clearly when users interact with an agent powered by ElevenLabs (required). Keep a qualified human in the loop for tailored professional advice. (elevenlabs.io)
- If your simulation uses telephony in the U.S., follow TCPA consent rules for artificial/prerecorded voices (e.g., prior express written consent for marketing calls). (elevenlabs.io)
Data, privacy, and provenance
- You can opt out of model‑improvement training for your data at any time in “Terms & privacy → Data use.” Enterprise data is not used by default; Zero
