Granola trains only on de-identified data with an account-settings opt-out and enterprise accounts off by default, publishes a full set of data rights with a named request channel, and promises not to keep meeting audio after transcription, while leaving retention periods, breach notification and security specifics thin.

What Granola's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

Training data

Only de-identified, aggregated data feeds model training, third parties such as OpenAI and Anthropic are barred from training on user data, and the opt-out lives in account settings with enterprise workspaces opted out by default.

Audio retention

Recordings are captured solely to produce a transcript and are not retained or stored once the transcription is created, though the policy sets no retention period for the rest of the data it keeps.

Rights and requests

Access, correction, erasure, portability, objection and restriction are all spelled out, with in-app paths for deleting an account or a single meeting and a dedicated privacy address for requests.

Gaps

There is no breach-notification commitment, no deletion timeline after account closure, and the advertising and international-transfer promises carry qualifiers.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: a deletion timeline after closure or request
Not stated: breach notification
Only partial: keeping user inputs out of model training
Only partial: your ownership of generated outputs
