Zrec privacy policy

Last updated 18 September 2026. Zrec is made by Dezdok. This policy covers the Zrec desktop recorder and the web app at zrec.dezdok.com.

What Zrec records

The desktop recorder uses your microphone and your computer’s sound only while a recording is running, which you start yourself or your workspace has set to start for meetings. A recording only ever starts on the computer where it was started: the website can’t start one on any other computer, even one signed in to the same account. While it records, the tray or menu bar icon turns red and a recording indicator stays on screen. It checks which apps are using the microphone so it can offer to record a meeting; it doesn’t record anything to do that.

Signing in

Each computer running the recorder signs in on its own and gets its own key, which you can remove at any time in Settings. The website keeps you signed in on one browser at a time. We store only scrambled (hashed) versions of sign-in keys, never the keys themselves.

What we store

Your account (name, email, role), meeting audio, transcripts, minutes, action items, and voice samples of speakers you choose to have remembered. If you connect a calendar, we store an encrypted read-only access token and read event titles and times for the next day. We don’t sell data or use it for advertising.

Who processes it

Recordings are stored on Dezdok’s server. To transcribe audio and write minutes we send it to processing providers: Modal (speech-to-text on GPUs), and Anthropic, Google or OpenRouter (writing minutes and answering questions). They process it only to return results to us. Account data is kept in a Neon Postgres database. Emails are sent through our email provider.

How long we keep it

Meetings stay until they are deleted. A workspace admin can set audio to be removed automatically after 7 to 365 days. Deleted meetings are removed permanently within 30 days.

People in recorded meetings

Workspaces can show a recording notice with a link where anyone in a meeting can ask for that recording to be deleted.

Your choices

You can delete meetings, forget remembered voices and disconnect calendars in the app, or ask us to delete your account and data.
