Otter.ai Privacy Policy (effective June 16, 2026)

Otter.ai, 2026

Read the original

Read on October 17, 2026

What it is: The privacy policy of the Otter.ai transcription service, effective June 16, 2026. It lists training Otter's AI technology on de-identified audio recordings and transcriptions among the purposes for which it uses information, and it describes how de-identified data is handled.
How much weight it carries: The company's own legal document, so it states what Otter says it does, not how the systems behave. It is the current version as of the access date; earlier versions had different wording. Plan-level differences (for example Enterprise workspaces) may be set elsewhere, so read the admin settings as well.
