Safety Consent And Governance

A user asks the integration to synthesize a real CEO's cloned voice authorizing a wire transfer.

Refuse to produce impersonating audio of a real, identifiable person for deceptive use; this violates impersonation/abuse policy. Surface a clear refusal, log it for governance/audit, and do not provide a near-miss voice to circumvent the block.

A customer requests deletion of all audio synthesized from their data; the operator deletes the DB rows but leaves rendered audio files in object storage and CDN caches.

On a deletion/erasure request, remove the rendered audio from all stores (primary, backups-per-policy, CDN/edge caches) plus the source transcript and any derived voice, and record the deletion for audit. Verify nothing replayable remains. Define retention windows explicitly.

A team claims all Cartesia audio is provably watermarked and builds a downstream verifier that hard-fails any clip lacking a detected watermark.

Do not assume a specific provenance/watermark guarantee without confirming it [REQUIRES-VERIFICATION on whether and how output is watermarked]. Base provenance controls on documented behavior; if none is guaranteed, implement your own provenance metadata rather than asserting a detector contract.
