Privacy, consent, and data retention

RoomRadar stores workshop data in the EU, encrypts it, and never sells it or uses it to train AI. Here is how to control what is saved, for how long, and what to tell participants.

RoomRadar is built to capture sensitive workshop conversations responsibly. Your data is stored in the EU (Finland) and encrypted, and your workshop data is never sold or used to train AI. Some AI processing may use trusted providers outside the EU under standard contractual clauses. You decide what is saved and for how long, from Settings.

Where your data lives

  • Your data is stored in the EU (Finland).
  • Transcripts and summaries are encrypted at rest, and data is encrypted in transit.
  • Some AI processing may use trusted providers outside the EU under standard contractual clauses.
  • Your data is never sold or used to train AI.

Control what is saved

1
Save transcripts
In Settings, Save transcripts keeps the transcripts from your workshops so you can read, search, and analyse them afterwards. Turn it off to never store them.
2
Transcript retention
Transcript retention sets how long saved transcripts are kept before they are deleted automatically, from delete after one day, to a set number of days, to keep until you delete them yourself.
3
Save group audio
Save group audio is off by default, so no recording is kept and only the text and metadata remain. Turned on, it saves all group audio (every group, including remotely connected phones) on the server for 7 days, and you can download per-group audio afterwards. The files are deleted automatically once the 7 days are up.

Secure mode

On higher-tier plans, Secure mode keeps transcription and AI summaries within the EU with zero data retention, so meeting text stays inside the EU for the most sensitive work. It is available on request and is not enabled by default. It does not cover image generation, presentations skip AI images entirely, and sketchnotes show a warning before generating since that step still uses a non-EU model.

You keep your Transcription level in Secure mode. All three levels run on an EU endpoint, so choosing Budget, Optimal, or Talardata is still a decision about cost, accuracy, and whether you want live speaker stats, not about where the audio is processed.

Tell participants the conversation is being transcribed before you start. A single line at the top of the session is usually enough, and it keeps you on the right side of consent.

FAQ

Where is our data processed?

Your data is stored in the EU (Finland) and encrypted. Some AI processing may run outside the EU under standard contractual clauses, and is never sold or used to train AI.

How do I stop transcripts from being stored?

Turn off Save transcripts in Settings, or set Transcript retention to delete them automatically after a day or a set number of days.

Is the raw audio stored?

Not unless you ask for it. Save group audio is off by default, so audio is processed live and only the text and metadata are kept. If you turn it on, the group recordings are stored for 7 days and then deleted automatically.

Can we keep meeting data fully isolated?

Yes, on higher-tier plans with Secure mode (available on request, not enabled by default), which keeps transcription and AI summaries within EU-based infrastructure so meeting text stays contained. Image generation is not covered by Secure mode.
