# Which AI Note-Taking Software Best Protects Meeting Privacy and GDPR Compliance?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">This is worth grounding in what reviewers actually say about data handling in <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/ai-note-taking-software">AI Note-Taking Software</a>, rather than just marketing claims, since privacy and compliance posture vary more than general satisfaction scores would suggest.</p><ul>

<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/happyscribe/reviews"><strong>HappyScribe</strong></a>: One reviewer described comparing eleven different meeting transcription tools specifically on data privacy policy before choosing this one, noting it met EU GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001 standards more clearly than several competitors could confirm during that comparison.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/jamie/reviews"><strong>Jamie</strong></a>: built around EU-based data handling with encryption and GDPR compliance baked in, and reviewers note it works without joining calls as a visible bot, which several said mattered for meetings with external participants.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/fellow/reviews"><strong>Fellow</strong></a>: designed around enterprise-grade access controls so recordings and transcripts are only visible to the right people, with both bot and bot-free recording options depending on how visible a company wants the capture to be.</li>

&lt;p&gt;The thing I&#39;ve heard comes up most in a formal review that isn&#39;t obvious from the product page is sub-processor location, a tool can claim GDPR compliance while still routing data through a sub-processor outside the EU for transcription or storage, and that&#39;s usually the detail legal actually digs into rather than the headline certification. Data retention policy is the other one, specifically how long a transcript sits on the vendor&#39;s servers by default and whether that&#39;s actually configurable, since that tends to matter more to a legal team than whether the tool joins calls visibly or not.&lt;/p&gt;
