- Zero Retention Available
- Yes
- Retention Default
- A zero-data-retention policy for meeting content: audio, video, transcripts and summaries are "not stored by any third-party vendor after processing", not accessible to a vendor once the service completes, and not used to train internal or external models. Account-level personal information is kept while the account is active.
- Retention Exceptions
- Fireflies is the only row in the registry that addresses voice as a biometric identifier: where voice data counts as a "biometric identifier" or "biometric information" it maintains a written retention schedule and destroys it once the collection purpose is satisfied or within three years of the individual's last interaction, whichever comes first. That is a BIPA-shaped commitment rather than a GDPR one, but it is a real published schedule and nothing else in this category has one.

- Eu Procurement Reason
- The clearest illustration in the registry of why a good sub-processor list is a service to the buyer even when the answer is bad. Fireflies publishes seventeen named sub-processors with a live trust centre, and reading it shows a recorded meeting passing through two independent transcription vendors and five separate LLM vendors, every one of them American. The zero-retention policy is real and unusually specific, the biometric retention schedule is the only one of its kind here, and neither changes the jurisdiction: no EU residency is offered, no Chapter V transfer mechanism is named, and the number of US entities with a technical path to the audio is the highest in this batch. A European buyer should read the list before the marketing page, in that order.
