What Fireflies.ai's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

No training on personal information

The policy states: "We do not use personal information for AI model training and we contractually prohibit our vendors from using this information for their own model training." The commitment extends to vendors, not only to Fireflies itself.

User content excluded from generative models

The terms state Fireflies "will not use your User Content to train, retrain, fine-tune or otherwise improve any generative artificial intelligence models." The exclusion is written to cover fine-tuning as well as initial training.

Zero retention for meeting content

The policy states: "We also impose a Zero Data Retention policy for meeting content, which includes audio, video, transcripts, and summaries of the meeting." The scope of the policy is spelled out rather than left to inference.

Named transfer safeguards and frameworks

For restricted international transfers the policy says it puts "in place appropriate safeguards, such as contractual clauses" to secure an adequate level of protection. It also states that "Fireflies.ai complies with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks."

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
