In terms of data protection, Fireflies is comparatively well-positioned thanks to its DPA, non-training commitment, and Enterprise storage option; however, for sensitive meetings, recording notices, access controls, retention policies, integrations, and storage location should still be configured with strict requirements. [Data Privacy](https://trust.fireflies.ai/faq?utm_source=chatgpt.com&search=Where+is+data+stored%3F+Where+are+the+servers+located%3F) **Overall assessment:** **** Conditionally to well-suited for GDPR compliance. A positive aspect is that Fireflies.ai provides a public Data Processing Addendum that outlines the processing of business and enterprise customer data in accordance with documented instructions, as well as confidentiality obligations, data deletion or return upon contract termination, security measures, audit options, subprocessor provisions, and data transfer rules. According to its own statements, Fireflies.ai is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF. A very **positive **aspect is the official statement that meeting content—audio, video, transcripts, and summaries—is not used to train internal or external AI models. Fireflies also describes a zero-data-retention policy for meeting content with third-party vendors: meeting content is not to be stored, reused, or used for training by third-party vendors after processing. Voice- and biometrics-related features for speaker differentiation may be processed temporarily but are not to be used for identification or authentication and are not to be stored on Fireflies servers. **Negative:** Fireflies.ai is a U.S. provider. The Privacy Policy explicitly states that Fireflies.ai and its service providers process and store personal data on servers in the U.S. and other countries. For international transfers, Fireflies uses, among other things, the DPF and contractual safeguards. Private Storage and Custom Data Retention are available for Enterprise customers; without an Enterprise plan, no blanket EU data residency is guaranteed. **Server location: **By default, the U.S. and other countries; according to the Trust Center FAQ, processing takes place in the U.S., while storage can be influenced depending on the selected storage option or Enterprise Private Storage. **Conclusion:** Fireflies.ai is better documented for EU companies than many meeting AI tools, particularly due to the DPA, the non-training commitment, the zero-retention commitment for third-party providers, and Enterprise Private Storage. However, for GDPR-compliant use, meeting notices, legal basis, DPA, third-country transfers, subprocessors, storage location, retention, integrations, and participant rights must be reviewed.
