How we handle research data
This page is for researchers and the ethics committees that review their work. It sets out where recordings and transcripts are stored, how long we keep them, who can see them and how to delete them.
Last updated November 9, 2026
Where your data is stored
Recordings, dubs, transcripts and our database are stored with a major cloud provider in the United States (Ohio). All of it is encrypted at rest, our storage is never open to the public, and our website and apps only accept encrypted connections.
How long we keep it
A finished dub is deleted 7 days after it finishes on the Free plan, and 30 days after on paid plans. We email you about 2 days before. When a dub is deleted, by you or on this schedule, we delete its source file, the dubbed audio and video, the transcript, the translation and the voices made for it.
Copies kept as a safeguard against mistakes are removed within a further 7 days. Before major maintenance we sometimes take an extra backup of our database, which can hold transcripts from that time. Only our engineers can open it.
Live broadcasts and their replays are kept until you delete them. Deleting a replay removes its recording and captions.
Who can see it
Your dubs are private to you. You can share a dub with people you choose, as viewers or editors. Download links stop working after 30 minutes, and a dub only appears on Reedapt Explore if you choose to list it.
You choose whether each Live broadcast is public or unlisted. An unlisted broadcast and its replay can only be watched by people who have the link.
Reedapt staff with admin access can open a project, for example to fix a problem you’ve reported.
How recordings are processed
Speech recognition runs on Reedapt’s own servers. Some other steps use outside AI services: telling speakers apart, translating text, generating voices in some languages and fitting lines to the timing. Each receives only the audio or text it needs for its step.
We don’t use your recordings, transcripts or translations to train AI models.
Analytics and session recordings
We record how people use our website and app, such as the pages they visit and what they click, to find and fix problems. In the editor, transcript text and anything you type is blanked out of these recordings. You can turn recordings off in your privacy settings.
How to delete your data
Delete a dub from your projects at any time.
Delete a Live replay from your channel.
To delete your account and everything in it, email support@reedapt.com from the address on your account.
