How to record transparently: notify participants and treat their data responsibly.

Recording a meeting with Voicit is easy, but it's best to do it transparently. Here are some best practices for recording meetings while notifying participants and handling their data responsibly.

Always notify the participants

Before you start recording, inform those present that the meeting will be recorded and why. This is a matter of transparency and, in most contexts, a legal requirement.

💬 Quick phrase you can use: "To ensure I don't miss a thing, I'm going to record and transcribe this meeting using an AI tool. We'll only use it to prepare the minutes/internal report. Is that alright?"

How to collect consent

You can get it before or during the meeting. Choose what best suits your process:

  • At the calendar event (Recommended): Add the legal text to the event description (Google Calendar, Teams, Calendly, HubSpot, etc.). It will appear on the invitation that participants receive when they RSVP.
  • In a contractIf one is already signed in your process, include the text as a clause.
  • In a form (Google Forms, Tally…) with a checkbox for them to confirm their agreement.
  • By voice at the beginningStart recording and ask for their consent. If someone does not give their consent, stop recording.

Ready-to-use consent texts

Copy the one that fits your case and replace [Your company] by the name of your organization. These are indicative examples, valid for Spain (EU).

Meetings and follow-up with clients

📅 Text for the calendar

Personnel selection (HR)

📅 Text for the calendar
🗣️ Verbal warning

ℹ️ Have a way to share detailed information about data processing (for example, this text or a link to your policy).

💡 Follow state and local laws regarding recording and AI use, and inform participants when necessary. The examples above apply to Spain, within the European Union.

Consent in psychological therapies and clinical sessions

If you are a psychologist/healthcare professional and record sessions with patients, the consent must be more specific: they are treated health data (special category of art. 9 GDPR) and apply the Law 41/2002 of patient autonomy and the professional secrecyUse these two models.

📅 Text for the calendar
📄 Text for informed consent (signed document)
🗣️ Verbal notification (login)

Data processing with AI

The audio is processed to generate the transcript and report, and is only accessible through your Voicit account. It is not used for anything other than providing you with the service.

Good practices

  • Ask for consent at the beginning and leave it recorded.
  • Record only what is necessary for the purpose of the meeting.
  • Share reports only with those who need access.
  • If someone requests it, delete the recording and the corresponding report.
