Privacy and retention
What Conclave for Mac sends, and what is kept.
What is sent
During a recording, Conclave for Mac sends the audio in 15-second pieces to Conclave's server, which runs in a confidential VM on Phala, together with the meeting's title, the participant names and who was speaking when. The server sends the audio to NEAR AI for transcription and the transcript to NEAR AI for notes. Transcription runs on NEAR AI's private inference inside a TEE. The server stores each piece encrypted while the meeting is processed, then deletes it when the meeting is finished, or within a day if the recording fails or never finishes. NEAR AI states that it stores no audio, transcript or prompt, only request counts and audio duration. What leaves your Mac has the details.
Meeting audio
"Keep my meeting audio" is off by default. It is in Conclave's Settings, under Audio. When it is on, the server and this Mac each keep one encrypted copy per track for 7 days, then delete it. The transcript and notes stay.
Meetings
At zero hours your meetings stay readable, and you can copy or export any of them as Markdown.
Feedback
Send feedback includes the last hour of this app's log (no names or transcript; your email and name replaced) and the app's version. The log is deleted after 30 days; your message is kept.
On this Mac
Your meetings are encrypted on this Mac, except an in-person recording while it is being recorded; it is encrypted when you stop it.
Signing out
Signing out removes everything Conclave kept on this Mac: the sign-in, your meetings, any kept audio, recordings waiting to upload and the keys.
