Under GDPR, voice recordings and transcripts containing personal information are classified as personal data. When you send them to a cloud transcription service, you must establish a legal basis, inform data subjects, ensure appropriate safeguards, and manage data retention — all for a service that should be a simple productivity tool.
Many cloud dictation providers process data in the United States or other third countries. GDPR requires additional safeguards for such transfers (SCCs, adequacy decisions, or binding corporate rules). Local transcription eliminates this complexity entirely by keeping data within your jurisdiction.
Cloud providers often retain data for model training, quality assurance, or legal compliance. Under GDPR, you must ensure data is not kept longer than necessary. With local processing, you control retention directly — your audio and transcripts are on your device, subject to your policies.
In local mode, audio and transcripts are produced and stored on your device. You decide how long to keep them, where to back them up, and who has access. This aligns with GDPR principles of data minimization and storage limitation. Optional cloud and AI features stay opt-in.
For the limited data we do process (license management, support, etc.), we use EU-hosted infrastructure. This reduces third-country transfer requirements and supports your data residency preferences.
Our Privacy Policy clearly documents what data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and who we share it with. We honor data subject rights including access, rectification, erasure, and portability.
Lawyers, consultants, and accountants in Germany handle sensitive client data subject to strict professional secrecy obligations (Berufsgeheimnis). In local mode, transcription runs on your device, so this data stays in your controlled environment, supporting both GDPR and professional confidentiality requirements.
Enterprise teams across the EU need to document meetings, decisions, and processes without creating additional GDPR obligations. In local mode, transcription keeps this data within the organization's perimeter, avoiding cloud provider data processing agreements and transfer impact assessments.
Schools, universities, and public administration bodies in the EU must handle personal data carefully. In local mode, transcription supports compliance with both GDPR and sector-specific regulations by minimizing external data exposure and keeping processing within institutional boundaries.
