As between Wistia and Customer, Customer retains ownership of Customer Content submitted to AI Features. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Customer owns outputs generated from its Customer Content through AI Features. Wistia does not claim ownership of Customer Content or AI-generated outputs derived from Customer Content.
4 Training Restrictions.
Unless otherwise expressly disclosed by Wistia, Customer Content submitted through the Services is not used by Wistia to train generalized artificial intelligence models. Third-party AI Providers may process Customer Content solely for the purpose of providing the requested functionality within the Services.
5 Third-Party AI Providers.
Certain AI Features rely on third-party service providers that process audio, video, or text inputs to generate requested outputs. These providers process Customer Content only as necessary to provide the requested functionality. Information regarding applicable subprocessors and technology providers may be available through the Wistia Trust Center.
6 Biometric Data.
