You do not have to create an account to participate in Common Voice.

If you do create an account, Mozilla will ask for your email address and a username of your choice. Optionally, you may also provide an avatar and certain demographic data that will help us understand how to teach machines to understand people with different accents, ages, sexes, and backgrounds.
To participate in some additional features in Common Voice (such as adding small or bulk sentence submissions, reviewing sentences, or adding or transcribing prompts), you will need to create a Mozilla account. You can create a Mozilla account [here](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/mozaws.net/signin). Your use of Mozilla accounts is governed by the [Mozilla Accounts Terms of Service](https://www.mozilla.org/about/legal/terms/services/) and [Mozilla Accounts Privacy Notice](https://www.mozilla.org/privacy/mozilla-accounts/). If you create an account, Mozilla will ask for your email address and a username of your choice. Optionally you may also provide an avatar and certain demographic data through the Common Voice Platform. Demographic data helps us and other researchers improve and create speech-to-text technology and tools.

If you participate in the Alpha or Beta testing for the Common Voice Spontaneous Speech project, you must provide your email address so that we can send you a link to log in to participate in the Common Voice Spontaneous Speech project.

When you provide information for your account, you give Mozilla all permissions necessary to: keep track of information about your Contributions, associate those Contributions with your account, email, username, and the demographic information you provide, publish your Contributions publicly along with any demographic information, and publish metrics about your Contributions (such as number of recordings and languages) along with your username on the leaderboard.

Mozilla will not publicly post or publish your email address.

You can choose not to appear on the leaderboards. If you do, Mozilla will not publish data about your recordings in association with your username. However, Mozilla will still make your text and recordings publicly available as part of Common Voice and will include information about your recordings in the overall metrics that are available publicly.
