Security & privacy

Safe, private, recruiter-first.

Everything in Sonarnote is designed to keep candidate interviews safe and out of the wrong systems. Local recording, no bots in the call, no training on your data, EU storage.

Recording model

How interviews are captured.

Sonarnote was built around local capture so candidate audio never has to live inside the meeting platform or a third-party bot.

Local-first recording

The desktop recorder captures audio on your machine, not in the cloud or in a meeting bot. The upload happens after the call ends, over an encrypted channel, only to your workspace.

No bots in your meetings

Sonarnote never joins Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams as a participant. Candidates and hiring managers see only the people on the call.

Data handling

What we do with your data, and what we will not.

No training, no selling, no advertising profiles. Your recordings and transcripts exist to power your workspace and nothing else.

We do not train AI on your data

Sonarnote does not train any model on your recordings or transcripts, and we do not sell or share your data for advertising. Your audio and transcripts are processed only to power your workspace.

Privacy-friendly analytics

We use self-hosted analytics to understand aggregate usage. No third-party ad trackers. No cross-site profiling. No selling data, ever.

Your data, your control

You own the recordings, transcripts, and notes in your workspace. Export requests are handled by emailing support, and data-subject requests under GDPR and CCPA are answered within thirty days.

Protection & compliance

Encryption, deletion, and EU residency.

Storage, retention, and data-subject controls that map onto how recruiting teams actually need to work under GDPR.

Encryption in transit and at rest

Uploads travel over TLS. Cloud storage is encrypted at rest with AES-256 by default. Access to production credentials is limited to the engineers who need them.

Delete on demand

Delete any recording from the dashboard at any time. The audio file and database row are removed immediately. Close your account and we delete or anonymize your personal data within sixty days.

EU operations, EU storage, GDPR ready

SIA Sonarnote operates the service from Latvia, and recordings are stored in EU cloud storage. We process personal data under GDPR. International transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses where required.

FAQ

Questions recruiters and hiring teams ask.

Does Sonarnote record without a bot in the call?

Yes. The desktop app captures audio locally on the recruiter's machine. Nothing joins your Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams call.

Do you train AI models on my recordings or transcripts?

No. Sonarnote does not train any model on your data, and we do not sell or share it for advertising. Your audio and transcripts are processed only to power your workspace.

Where is the data stored?

Recordings and transcripts are stored in encrypted EU cloud storage. Subprocessors that handle data outside the EEA do so under Standard Contractual Clauses.

How do I delete a recording or my account?

Delete any recording from the dashboard and the audio plus database row are removed immediately. Closing your account removes or anonymizes your personal data within sixty days, except where law requires retention.

Is consent to record needed?

Consent requirements depend on jurisdiction. We recommend disclosing the recording to candidates at the start of every call. See our privacy policy for more.
