Privacy details

Effective 1 August 2026

MeetScribe is local-first. Recordings, transcripts, summaries, meeting details and settings are stored in your browser profile. There is no MeetScribe account database and this site does not install analytics or advertising trackers.

What stays on your device

  • Recording chunks are journaled to IndexedDB during capture, then assembled into the saved recording.
  • Saved recordings, imported files, transcripts, summaries, chat history and meeting metadata remain in IndexedDB until you delete them or clear the site’s browser storage.
  • API keys are kept in session storage by default. If you enable “Remember API keys,” they are stored in this browser profile.

Optional processors you control

  • Groq transcription: when you request cloud transcription, meeting audio and selected settings are sent directly from your browser to Groq using your key.
  • AI summaries and chat: when requested, transcript text and meeting context are sent to the Groq, OpenAI or custom endpoint selected in Settings.
  • On-device transcription: the pinned Whisper model is downloaded through MeetScribe’s fixed-purpose Hugging Face relay. Model-file requests contain no recording or transcript content. After the model is cached, transcription runs in your browser.
  • Browser live captions: this feature is off by default. If you explicitly enable it, your browser may send microphone audio to its own speech-recognition service. This processing is controlled by the browser vendor and is separate from the selected MeetScribe AI provider.

Retention and deletion

MeetScribe does not set a server-side retention period because it does not upload your saved library to a MeetScribe server. Delete individual recordings from the library or use Settings → Storage → Delete all recordings. Browser cleanup, profile deletion or private-browsing expiration can also remove local data, so export important meetings.

Operational data

Cloudflare may process ordinary web-delivery information such as IP address, request URL and security logs when serving this site or the pinned model relay. MeetScribe does not intentionally put recording content, transcripts or API keys in those URLs or logs.

Security and browser support

Use a current Chrome or Edge release for screen capture and verify the browser sharing indicator before recording. Camera, microphone and display access remain subject to browser permission prompts. No browser-only recorder can guarantee recovery after device loss, browser-profile deletion or exhausted disk quota.

Questions

For general privacy questions, use the MeetScribe GitHub repository. Report potential vulnerabilities privately to the repository owner; do not include recordings, transcripts, API keys or exploit details in public issues.
