Security & privacy
Your recordings and transcripts belong to you. This page explains how we handle them. It only describes what we do today.
Last updated: October 12, 2026
Ownership and access
- Recordings, transcripts and notes belong to the person who created them.
- On team plans, administrators manage members and billing. They cannot see members' recordings or transcripts.
- Content is shared only when you create a share link, share with someone by email, or start live sharing.
- We never sell your data or use your content for advertising.
Encryption
- Traffic between your devices and LecSync is encrypted with TLS (HTTPS and secure WebSockets).
- Audio files and uploaded documents are stored in Cloudflare R2, which encrypts data at rest with AES-256.
How AI processes your content
Content goes to a model only when a feature you use needs it.
- Speech recognition: Soniox, and our own speech models on GPU servers we operate.
- Real-time translation: Soniox and our own translation models.
- Spoken interpretation: our own speech synthesis models.
- AI notes, chat, terminology extraction and other AI features: our own models, and third-party models accessed through OpenRouter (including DeepSeek and Google Gemini).
- Voice typing cleanup: DeepSeek.
Where data is processed and stored
- Live audio is handled by the nearest LecSync real-time gateway, in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, mainland China or Russia.
- Speech recognition by Soniox runs in its United States, European Union or Japan region, depending on the gateway.
- Our application servers and database are hosted by OVH in the United States.
- Audio files and documents are stored in Cloudflare R2 (some older files in Vercel Blob). Users in mainland China and Russia receive files through Alibaba Cloud's network.
Retention and deletion
- You can delete any recording. It moves to Recently Deleted, where it can be restored for 30 days; after that it is permanently deleted.
- Deleting your account deletes your recordings, transcripts and uploaded files.
- Uploaded documents can be deleted from their folder at any time.
Team administration
- The account owner adds and removes members and pays for the whole team in one place.
- Removing a member ends their paid access; their own recordings remain theirs.
Your rights and compliance
- LecSync is operated by HOPE AI LTD, registered in England and Wales, the data controller for personal data in the service.
- You can access, export, correct or delete your data. Email privacy@lecsync.com to exercise your rights under UK GDPR, EU GDPR or other applicable laws.
- Organizations can request a data processing agreement (DPA) or a completed security questionnaire from our sales team.
