Highest Risk Categories
The highest-scoring risk categories identified in this assessment.
Training Use
TOS grants Soundful an irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual right to use, copy, modify, display, archive, store, distribute, reproduce and create derivative works from User Content in any form. This is effectively a mandatory license to train on submitted content with no opt-out. Privacy policy (last updated 2021, significantly stale) does not address AI training separately. Generated music is not addressed in training provisions.
6
/10
Data Retention
Privacy policy last updated 2021 gives no specific data retention periods. TOS does not specify how long user-uploaded content or generated music is retained. The irrevocable perpetual license over User Content implies indefinite retention for licensing purposes. No clear account deletion and data purge process described.

/10
Output/IP Ownership
Generated music: users retain ownership of their songs under the license terms. However, all User Content submitted to the platform (comments, posts, feedback, notes, messages, images, audio, materials, ideas) is subject to an irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license for Soundful to use for any purpose including developing and marketing products. This is very broad. Paid plan users get rights to use generated music commercially, but Soundful retains rights to the underlying platform outputs.
