GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation: the EU law governing how personal data is collected, used and stored.
The GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) has applied across the European Union since May 2018. It governs the processing of personal data, meaning any information about an identified or identifiable person (Art. 4). In Spain it’s complemented by Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD).
- Process data only with a lawful basis and for a specific purpose.
- Collect only what’s needed and keep it only as long as needed.
- Tell people and respect their rights (access, erasure, objection…).
- Protect the data and choose suppliers with guarantees.
A meeting recording contains personal data: each person’s voice, image and what they say. So recording and transcribing meetings falls squarely under the GDPR. We cover it in recording Teams meetings and the GDPR.
This is general information, not legal advice. For your specific case, consult your data protection officer or your lawyer. What Echo does with data is on the security page.
