Privacy notice

Baithak is in private beta. This page reflects the current technical reality, not aspirational policy.

What we collect

• Your account — email + password hash (bcrypt) so you can log in.
• Audio you record — chunks captured from your microphone while a Baithak meeting is active.
• Transcripts & minutes — derived from your audio: native-language text, English translation, decisions, action items, productivity score.
• Operational logs — request paths and timing for debugging. We do not log audio bytes or transcript text.

Where it goes (sub-processors)

To produce minutes we send your audio to two third-party processors. Both are bound by their published Data Processing Addenda; neither retrains models on your data.

• Deepgram, Inc. — speech-to-text + speaker diarization. Privacy policy ↗
• Anthropic, PBC — translation + structured extraction (decisions, actions, productivity score). Commercial terms ↗

Where it lives

Hosted infrastructure is in our cloud account. Audio chunks are stored in S3-compatible object storage (MinIO/AWS S3); transcripts and meeting metadata are in PostgreSQL. We retain everything until you delete the meeting; deletion removes both the database rows and the audio objects.

Your rights

Under India's DPDP Act 2023 and (where applicable) the GDPR, you can:

• Access & export your meetings — coming via the dashboard's export menu.
• Delete a meeting at any time — the "Delete this meeting" button in the side panel removes all associated audio + transcripts immediately.
• Delete your account — email hello@baithak.live and we'll wipe your data within 7 days.
• Withdraw consent — stop recording and delete past meetings; we will not have a legal basis to keep them.

Consent

Recording a meeting requires explicit consent on first use, captured per browser. You are responsible for confirming that everyone in the room has agreed to be recorded and transcribed — laws vary by jurisdiction (single-party vs all-party consent). Baithak shows a clear "recording" indicator throughout an active session.

Security

HTTPS in transit. Audio + DB at rest are stored on encrypted volumes; per-tenant encryption keys are on the v2 roadmap. Authentication is JWT with bcrypt password hashing. SOC 2 Type 1 readiness work is in progress.
