Iosnola — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 September 2026

Iosnola is an internal application provided by GRI (GRI BRAZIL EVENTOS LTDA / GRI Institute) to its employees and collaborators. It is a meeting recorder for iPhone and Android that captures in-person meetings, stores the audio in the organization's private cloud, and produces transcripts. This policy explains what data the app handles and how. Iosnola is intended for internal use by authorized GRI personnel and is not offered to the general public.

Information we process

• Google account information. When you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and basic profile information to authenticate you and to scope your recordings to your account. We never receive your Google password. Sign-in uses OAuth; the token exchange is performed by our backend.
• Audio recordings. Audio you deliberately record with the app (captured from the device microphone while you are recording).
• Transcripts. Text transcripts generated from your recordings when you request transcription.
• Recording metadata. Timestamps, duration, and the platform used, to organize your library.

The app does not use analytics or advertising SDKs and does not track you across other apps or websites.

How we use it

The data above is used solely to provide the app's functionality: recording, secure upload, playback, and transcription for internal GRI purposes. It is not used for advertising and is not sold.

Where it is stored and who processes it

• Storage. Recordings and transcripts are stored in GRI's private cloud storage (Amazon Web Services S3), scoped to your organizational account and accessed with short-lived credentials issued by our backend.
• Authentication. Google LLC processes your sign-in.
• Transcription. When you request a transcript, the audio is processed by our speech-to-text provider (ElevenLabs) to generate the transcript text.

These providers act as processors on GRI's behalf and are permitted to use the data only to deliver the service.

Access and sharing

Your recordings and transcripts are accessible to you and to authorized GRI personnel in accordance with GRI's internal policies. We do not sell your data or share it for third-party marketing.

Retention and deletion

Recordings are retained in accordance with GRI's internal data-retention practices. You can delete a recording from within the app, which removes it from the organization's storage.

Microphone

The app accesses the microphone only while you are actively recording, at your initiation. It does not record in the background without an active recording session you started.

Your choices and contact

Because this is an internal tool, access is managed by GRI. For questions about this policy or your data, contact privacy@griinstitute.org.

This policy is specific to the Iosnola mobile applications (iOS and Android) and supplements GRI's general privacy policy.
