Fathom discloses a named training opt-out, a 30-day deletion timeline, broad data-subject rights, Data Privacy Framework-certified international transfers, and an explicit no-sale promise, landing it solidly in the B band. The retention period is only described vaguely as "as long as necessary," and tier differences, output ownership, and shorter AI-log retention are not addressed.

What Fathom's privacy policy says about your data

Training opt-out

No sale of content

Fathom states it does not sell Meeting Content Information or attendee information to anyone, and it does not sell or share personal information for third-party direct marketing without permission.

Vague retention anchor

Retention is described only as storing personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes set out in the policy, with no defined ceiling or shorter AI-log period.
