Privacy and security
Your meetings, kept the way you choose.
What happens to a recording, how long it lasts, and what you can do with your notes, in plain words. No bot in the call, and nothing kept longer than it has to be.
The life of a recording.
From the moment you press record to the moment it is gone. The note and its transcript stay; the audio doesn't.
A meeting's audio is kept for only as long as it takes to write the note.
- RecordedOn your Mac or in the browser. Nothing joins the call.
- UploadedThe audio goes up so it can be transcribed.
- Written upThe note and its transcript are made, and stay until you delete them.
- DeletedThe moment the note is ready, the recording is deleted for good.
Nothing joins your call.
trepil records the sound on your computer and your microphone. There is no bot in the attendee list, and nothing announces itself on the call.
Easy to be upfront
Because nothing joins the call, you mention it in your own words. One line at the start is enough, and most people are glad someone is taking the notes.
“I take notes with trepil. Is that OK?”
Recording rules differ from place to place, and some ask for everyone's agreement. The terms say more.
Your notes, on your terms.
- Share links you controlSend a note as a link. Update it, or turn it off at any time, and the page is gone.

Privacy, answered.
Anything else, write to hello@trepil.com. A person reads every email.
Do you keep my recordings?
Not a meeting's. Its audio is uploaded so it can be transcribed, then deleted for good as soon as the meeting is written up. A voice memo's recording is kept for 30 days so you can play it back, and in Settings you can have it deleted as soon as its note is written, or kept for as long as you keep the memo. The note and its transcript stay either way.
Can I share or export a note?
Share a note as a link that you can update or turn off at any time, or export it as Markdown, PDF or Word. Settings can download every note you have in one zip. If you delete your account, your notes and recordings go with it.
Do the other people know they are being recorded?
Nothing joins the call, so trepil never announces itself; you mention it in your own words. Most people say "I take notes with trepil, is that OK?" as the call starts, and the other person is usually glad someone is. Rules on recording differ by country and by state, and some ask for everyone's agreement, so that one line keeps everyone comfortable and on the right side of them.
What happens to my notes if I delete my account?
They go with it: your notes, your transcripts and any recordings still kept. If you want a copy first, Settings downloads every note you have in one zip.
