Security & Data Protection
How ScribeToAny protects your files — automatic deletion of uploads after transcription, encryption in transit and at rest, no AI training on your data, and PCI-compliant payments.
2026/09/03
You're trusting ScribeToAny with recordings that are often private — interviews, meetings, calls. This page explains, plainly, what happens to your data and how we keep it safe. Nothing here is aspirational; it describes how the product actually works today.
Your uploads are deleted automatically
When a transcription finishes, the original file you uploaded is deleted from our storage — we keep only the transcript you came for. You never have to remember to clean up after yourself.
- Successful jobs: the source upload is removed as soon as the transcript is ready.
- Failed jobs: the source is removed within 7 days.
- Abandoned uploads that never start a job are swept within an hour.
Your transcripts are your data. They stay in your account so you can read, edit, translate, and export them — and you can delete any of them, at any time, from your files. Deleting a transcript removes it from our storage.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Every connection to ScribeToAny uses HTTPS, so your data is encrypted while it travels to and from us. At rest, your files and transcripts are stored on Cloudflare's infrastructure (R2 object storage and D1), which encrypts stored data by default.
We never train AI on your data
Your audio, video, and transcripts are never used to train AI models — not ours, not anyone else's. Transcription runs on the open-source Whisper model on GPU infrastructure for the sole purpose of producing your transcript, and the optional translation pass works the same way. Your content is processed to give you a result, and for nothing else.
Payments are handled by Stripe
Billing is processed by established, PCI-DSS-compliant payment providers (Stripe and Creem). Your card details go straight to them over an encrypted connection — ScribeToAny never sees or stores your full card number.
Where your data is processed
- The application runs on Cloudflare Workers at the edge; your files are stored in Cloudflare R2.
- Transcription and translation run on GPU infrastructure (Modal), which reads your file only for the duration of the job.
- The free browser tools (subtitle and media converters) are different: they run entirely in your browser using WebCodecs, so those files are never uploaded anywhere at all.
Deleting your data
You're in control of everything you store with us:
- Delete individual files and transcripts from your files.
- Delete your entire account and its data from your settings.
- If you're in a region covered by the GDPR or similar laws, the data-subject rights described in our Privacy Policy apply.
