Plain-English Summary
Audio is captured only during sessions you explicitly start — never in the background.
Audio is streamed to Deepgram for transcription and is never stored by Talkio.
Transcripts live in memory only — permanently deleted the moment your session ends.
Post-call analysis is generated by OpenAI and returned to your browser. Not stored on our servers.
We do not sell your data. Ever.
Stop a session any time to immediately end all audio processing.

2 What This Policy Covers

This policy explains what data Talkio collects, how it is processed, who it is shared with, and your rights — when you use the Talkio Chrome Extension, web dashboard, or backend API.

3 Data We Collect and How We Use It

Call Audio

When you start a session, Talkio captures audio from your active Google Meet or Zoom browser tab and, if you grant permission, your microphone. Audio is streamed in real time over an encrypted WebSocket connection to our backend, then forwarded to Deepgram for speech-to-text transcription. Audio is never written to disk or stored by Talkio. When your session ends, the stream closes and no audio is retained.

Transcripts

Text transcripts produced by Deepgram are held in server memory only for the duration of your session, to power live coaching cards. They are sent to OpenAI for AI processing. Transcripts are permanently deleted when your WebSocket session closes — they are never written to a database or log file.

Coaching Cards and Post-Call Analysis

AI-generated coaching suggestions and post-call reports are generated by OpenAI using your transcript and returned directly to your browser. Talkio does not store coaching output on its servers after your session ends.

Waitlist and Account Data

If you join the Talkio waitlist, we collect your email address. This is used only to contact you about early access and product updates. Retained until you request deletion or unsubscribe.

Technical Logs

Standard server logs may include IP addresses, session IDs, connection timestamps, and error messages — used for debugging and security. Retained for up to 30 days then automatically deleted.
