AI disclosure

What the AI generates

• The speaking face. The host starts from a real video of a person (you, or someone who gave permission). A lipsync model on your PC moves the mouth to the voice.
• The voice. Made by a text-to-speech engine: Microsoft voices, an ElevenLabs cloned voice on your own key, or — in the home-page demo — MeloTTS (R&D) or Gemini TTS.
• The words. Answers to comments are written by a language model (your own OpenRouter key) from the product information you enter, or read from your scripts.

The host is always labelled as AI

We never market the host as human or "indistinguishable from a human". The demo on the home page shows an AI HOST label that cannot be switched off.

• In the desktop app (Q4 2026): the compliance kit adds an "AI host" label to the video by default. For TikTok and Shopee destinations it is locked on — it can be moved, not removed.
• Until then: write "AI host" in the live's title, description and pinned comment.
• If a viewer asks whether the host is an AI, the host answers honestly: yes.

Consent for faces and voices

• Only upload video of yourself, or of someone who gave written permission.
• A cloned voice needs the voice owner's consent. Do not clone public figures, politicians or celebrities.
• Coming (Q4 2026): every avatar upload and voice clone records the name of the person who consented and the date.
• Report misuse to support@aseacast.com. We will investigate and may close the account.

Data and privacy (PDPA 2010, GDPR)

• Videos, avatars and voices are processed and kept on your computer. They are not uploaded to our servers.
• Our cloud keeps your account, plan, live hours and device list — see the privacy notice.
• ElevenLabs voice clones run under your own ElevenLabs key and terms.
• The home-page demo does not store what you type. Your IP address is only used as a daily hash for rate limiting, and is not stored.

Platform policies

TikTok Shop in the US and UK bans AI voices and avatars in shopping lives — we don't support it there. We have not confirmed TikTok's or Shopee's rules for Malaysia in writing. You are responsible for following the rules of the platform you go live on. Details: Platforms & policies.

Limits of the AI

• AI can be wrong. Keep the prices, stock and product claims in your catalogue correct — the host is only as good as the information you give it.
• Don't let the host make health or medical claims your product is not allowed to make.
• Keep a person watching the live who can take over.
