Story licence

Last updated 1 October 2026 · version 2026-10-15

Your story stays yours. Here is exactly what you allow us to do with it.

You keep your rights

All rights in your story (text, recording and transcript) remain yours. Stories on this site are not free to reuse: please don't copy them elsewhere without asking their authors.

What you allow us to do

You grant Beyond Listening a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable licence to host, store, reproduce, display, transcribe and play your story on the Beyond Listening website, for as long as it is published there.

Only if you ticked the optional box: we may also feature your story in Beyond Listening's own social media posts and newsletter.

Taking it back

You can withdraw this licence at any time with your private link. We then delete your story and recording from the site immediately, and from our backups within 30 days. We can't recall copies other people may have made outside our site.
