Transcription you can actually trust
When you use Good Tape, you’re handing us something important. Maybe it’s a confidential client meeting, a sensitive interview, a legal deposition, or the recording of a lecture that took weeks to prepare. Whatever it is, we know one thing: it matters to you.
That’s why we’ve built Good Tape to be more than just transcription software. Security isn’t a feature we tacked on it’s the foundation we built the entire company on. Our users don’t just come to us for speed and accuracy. They come because they need a tool they can actually rely on.
Secure GDPR transcription
We are proud to be ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR compliant. GDPR is about respecting the rights of individuals, and we’ve adopted that mindset across everything we do. Your data belongs to you, and protecting it is a job that we take extremely seriously.
All transcription is processed on servers inside the EU with no hidden transfers or offshore storage. Files are encrypted the moment they leave your device through HTTPS secured upload, and GDPR governs how your data is stored, processed, and deleted so you stay in control.
Advanced encryption for every transcript
We use encryption everywhere to eliminate security gaps. All stored data is protected with AES 256 encryption, the same standard used by banks and government institutions, and every transfer between you and Good Tape is secured with TLS 1.2 or 1.3 or mutual TLS.
Multi factor authentication is enforced across all internal systems. In simple terms, even if someone intercepted your file or a data transfer, they would not be able to read or use it.
Data processing agreement
Enterprise customers can request a Data Processing Agreement (DPA). This legally binding document commits Good Tape in writing to everything described here: Encryption, GDPR compliance, deletion, storage, and more.
For organizations where compliance isn’t optional, Good Tape’s DPA is your assurance that we meet professional-grade standards. Discover why millions of professionals trust Good Tape.
Only EU-based data subprocessors
A subprocessor is any external company we work with that may process limited parts of your data in order to provide essential functionality for example, cloud hosting or secure storage.
We want you to know exactly how and where your data is handled when you use our transcription tool. Furthermore, Good Tape is fully GDPR compliant, and we only work subprocessors with EU-based servers.

Your files are always yours
Here’s one thing we’ll never compromise on: your files don’t belong to us. They’re yours. Our role is simple: to turn it into text safely, accurately, and privately.
Full transparency: All user actions (logins, changes, file access) are tracked so you know exactly what’s happening.
No training on your data: Unlike many AI products, we will never use your recordings to train machine learning models.
No commercial sharing: We don’t sell, rent, or trade your personal information with anyone. Ever.
Limited access: The only time a Good Tape employee can access your file is when you explicitly request support, and even then, it requires multi-factor authentication and is fully logged.
