Phase 1 (anonymous use, no accounts).
What we store, and for how long
Your file is uploaded directly from your browser to encrypted object storage. It is never written to SautiScribe's application servers. Once transcription finishes, the audio and the transcript are both deleted automatically within 24 hours. After that the job link stops working.
What we keep alongside it
For each job we record its status, the detected language, the duration, the model used, and the IP address the request came from. The IP address is used only to apply fair-use limits and to set your price, and it is deleted with the rest of the job.
To show prices in the right currency, we look up the country of your IP address in a database stored on our own server, so the address is never sent to anyone else. Country data is IP Geolocation by DB-IP, used under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence.
What we do not do
- We do not use your recordings to train models.
- We do not sell your recordings or transcripts, or share them with third parties, with one exception: the transcript of a paid job is sent to Anthropic, whose Claude AI writes its summary. Anthropic does not train its models on it, and the summary is deleted with the rest of the job.
- We do not read your transcripts. Nobody at SautiScribe reviews job content.
- We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. To count visits to our public pages we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and does not follow you across other sites. It is not loaded on job pages, so your transcript links are never sent to it.
Who processes your audio
Transcription runs on rented GPU infrastructure. Your audio is fetched from storage, processed in memory, and the temporary copy is deleted when the job ends. The speech-recognition model runs on that infrastructure - your audio is not sent to a third-party transcription API.
Recording other people
You are responsible for having the right to upload what you upload. Consent rules for recording conversations differ by country, and in many places all parties must agree.
Deleting something sooner
Because there are no accounts yet, we cannot look a job up on your behalf from an email address alone. If you need something removed before the automatic window elapses, email the job link to support@sautiscribe.com. Accounts, transcript history and self-service deletion are planned.
