What leaves your Mac

During a recording

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. "Keep my meeting audio" is off by default.

In Zoom and Google Meet, speaker names come from the meeting app's own participant list on your screen. Your voice isn't used to tell people apart.

NEAR AI's attestation

NEAR AI publishes an attestation for each model it runs for us. Conclave checks the transcription model's and the notes model's, for every meeting and live on our trust page, and shows the result as received.

NEAR AI says it signs each transcription inside its enclave but does not yet expose that signature, so no per-request proof is shown.

NEAR AI states that it stores no audio, transcript or prompt, only request counts and audio duration.

Also true

• No notifications, no camera, no calendar, no screen recording beyond the meeting app's sound.
• Meeting detection reads window titles of Zoom, the watched browsers and Teams every 2 s while the app is open, and a browser tab's address when its title looks like Meet or Zoom.

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. You can't sign out while recording, or while a meeting is still uploading.
