Your data

This page answers the three questions people actually ask. It has no independent legal effect — what governs is the Privacy Policy (Swedish), the Data Processing Agreement and the Terms of Service (Swedish). But if those documents and this page ever say different things, that is our mistake and not your misreading. Tell us.

Do I own my content?

Yes. Your recordings and transcripts are yours. We take no ownership and do nothing with them beyond delivering what you asked for.

In legal terms, you are the controller of the content and we are your processor. That means we may only process it on your instructions — and your instruction is simply the settings you choose in the app.

Does the AI train on my meetings?

No. Neither we nor our suppliers use your content to train models. That is written into the Data Processing Agreement, not just onto a marketing page.

Audio is also deleted automatically within 24 hours of transcription completing. If you want it deleted immediately, that setting exists in the app.

What applies when I record other people?

This is the question that deserves an honest answer rather than a comfortable one.

In Sweden it is lawful to record a conversation you are taking part in — that is not unlawful interception. But recording is one thing, and processing personal data about the other participants is another. The latter is GDPR, and there you are the responsible party — not us.

In practice that means three things:

• Say that you are recording. Not merely good manners — it follows from the information duty in Article 13 when you process data about identifiable people.
• Have a reason. You need a legal basis for the processing — usually legitimate interest, sometimes consent.
• Consider what gets said. Meetings often contain health, family circumstances or trade union membership without anyone planning it. That is specially protected under Article 9 and asks more of you.

Using Sagt.ai at work?

Then your employer is the controller of the meeting content, not you personally. Which means they need to know about and have approved the use of the service — otherwise the chain of instructions the GDPR is built on is missing.

That sounds formal, but the consequence is concrete: running a tool your employer does not know about, on data belonging to them, can make them notifiable for something they were unaware of. Ask first. We are happy to provide the paperwork — the Data Processing Agreement and the sub-processor list are exactly what an IT or data protection officer wants to see.

Want to avoid the whole question?

Use local mode. The audio is then transcribed on your own computer and never leaves the machine — no suppliers involved, no cloud transfer, nothing that needs to be governed by an agreement. It is included in the free tier.

This is not a fallback but the core of the product. Cloud mode exists because a larger model produces better text, not because we want your audio.

Your rights

You may at any time request access to, correction of, or deletion of the data we hold about you as a user. Write to hej@sagt.ai and we will respond within 30 days. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data you may contact the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection, IMY.
