Audio Transcription Security and Privacy Explained

Understand how private uploads, account access, processing providers, retention, and deletion affect a transcription workflow.

A transcription file can contain sensitive information

Meetings, interviews, medical discussions, customer calls, and research recordings may include private information. Treat the source file and transcript as sensitive data from the moment they are created.

Keep access limited

ScribeZip requires sign-in before upload. Files are handled in an authenticated workspace and are not published as public media pages.

The service uses infrastructure and speech-processing providers to complete transcription. Review the privacy policy before uploading regulated or highly confidential material.

Good habits still matter

Use an account you control, avoid sharing exported files through public links, and delete local copies you no longer need. Obtain permission before recording or transcribing other people where required.
