Infrastructure and data residency
Cronofy runs the entire meeting capture workflow on its own infrastructure. No third-party subprocessors. Meeting data is processed and stored in your selected region only, across six dedicated data centers in the UK, US, Canada, Germany, Australia, and Singapore.
Recall.ai offers three regions across the US, EU, and Asia. There is no residency choice on the PAYG plan, and APAC data routes to the US or EU for processing. Per their privacy policy, all personal data is processed in the United States.
With Cronofy, compliance is built in, not added on. Every customer gets GDPR compliance, HIPAA, SOC 2, CCPA, and ISO 27001, 27701, and 27018 as standard.
Cronofy retains all meeting data for seven days. Recall.ai's default retention is indefinite, with the option to configure or delete via API.
Does Cronofy use any subprocessors for meeting recording or transcription?
No. Cronofy does not use any subprocessors for recording or transcription. No customer data leaves Cronofy's infrastructure at any point in the process.
What ISO certifications do Cronofy and Recall.ai hold?
Cronofy is certified to ISO 27001, 27701, and 27018. ISO 27701 covers data privacy management. ISO 27018 covers protection of personal data in the cloud. Recall.ai holds ISO 27001 but not 27701 or 27018.
How long do Cronofy and Recall.ai retain meeting data?
Cronofy stores all meeting data for 7 days as standard. Recall.ai retains audio and video for 7 days but transcription data for 42 days. Their default retention policy is indefinite unless deletion is requested via API.
What is the most GDPR-compliant way to record and transcribe meetings via API?
Cronofy Meeting Agents run on Cronofy's EU-based infrastructure with no subprocessors. No customer data leaves Cronofy's own infrastructure. GDPR compliance is standard on every plan, with all recording and transcription processed only in your selected region across six dedicated data centres. Recall.ai offers three regions and routes Japan transcription to the US. Per their privacy policy, all personal data is processed in the United States.
How do I connect meeting recordings back to calendar events and attendee data automatically?
With Cronofy, transcripts and summaries are tied to the calendar event and scheduling context from the start. With Recall.ai, linking recording data back to calendar and attendee context is something you build yourself.
How do I add meeting recording and scheduling to my application without building two separate integrations?
Cronofy handles both through a single API. Calendar sync, availability, scheduling, and meeting capture in one layer. Recall.ai handles recording only, so you would need to build or buy the scheduling side separately.
What is the difference between a meeting recording API and temporal infrastructure?
A meeting recording API records and transcribes what happens in a meeting. Temporal infrastructure schedules the meeting, records it, and triggers what happens next. Recall.ai is the former. Cronofy is the latter, with meeting capture available as a standalone product or as part of a broader workflow.
Is Recall.ai HIPAA compliant?
Not on their PAYG plan. Recall.ai's HIPAA compliance applies to higher tier plans only. Cronofy is HIPAA compliant on every plan.
