Treat the conversation like personal data
Commonplace limits capture through consent, keeps data scoped to the relevant account and circle, and supports export and erasure requests.
How data is handled
Scoped to the circle
Membership, recordings, transcripts, and summaries are access-controlled within the relevant organization and circle. Commonplace does not sell conversation data.
Your data, exportable and erasable
Members can request an export or erasure. The owner-selected policy keeps new meeting audio, transcripts, recaps and consent evidence without automatic expiration. The matching notice, retention release and device checks must be verified before recording is enabled. Erasure of a represented participant removes the affected shared room transcript and recap; independent records can remain.
Permission before the microphone opens
The proposed flow asks every person, including guests, for permission to record the notice and their responses. The Host then records actual affirmative responses before discussion. A refusal means an unrecorded meeting; a later arrival requires local Pause and renewed consent before explicit Resume. Release approval and device evidence are still pending.
Before you record
Only record a room when everyone understands what will be captured, why it is useful, and what controls they have afterward.
