GDPR and Audio Transcription: What to Watch
A plain-English overview of the practical privacy questions teams ask before uploading sensitive recordings.
If your recordings include personal data, you should treat transcription as data processing. That means knowing who processes it, where it’s stored, and how it’s deleted.
Ask These 5 Questions
- Who is the data controller and how do I contact them?
- Where is data stored (region) and which subprocessors are involved?
- How long is data retained and what happens on account deletion?
- Are cookies used for tracking, and can I opt out?
- Is uploaded content used to train models?
