Open the original- What it measures
- This is the company's own commitment about data that it has already processed to remove direct identifiers. It is a promise in the policy, which a user cannot check from outside.
- What it does not show
- A promise not to re-identify is different from a technical guarantee that re-identification is impossible. The policy does not describe the method used to de-identify audio.
