Is Fireflies.ai GDPR-safe?

Partly: read the fine print

Fireflies.ai offers EU data storage only on more expensive business plans, but the vendor is based outside the EU and may be covered by third-country legislation (for US companies: the CLOUD Act) regardless of server location. For non-sensitive data this is rarely a problem, but for customer data you should weigh the risk.

How to use it more safely

  1. Sign a data processing agreement (DPA) if personal data is processed.
  2. Never enter national IDs or sensitive data, especially here where data leaves the EU.
  3. Check the vendor's sub-processors: AI features often forward data.
  4. Read our GDPR guide for small businesses for the full picture.

EU/EEA Meetings & notes Freemium EU data storage ✓ ISO 27001

  • All data is stored and processed within the EEA, Switzerland and the UK according to the provider
  • Requires desktop app (Mac/Windows), does not work only in the browser

Best for: Companies that want to avoid meeting bots and keep all data in Europe.
