Security & Privacy
Hermetiq is designed for therapists and mental health professionals who work with sensitive client information. This page explains how we protect your data.
HIPAA & Compliance
Hermetiq is built on SOC 2 and HIPAA-compliant infrastructure:
- End-to-end encryption for all data
- Audio deleted immediately after transcription
- SOC 2 + HIPAA-compliant infrastructure
- No data used for AI model training
- Regional data processing (US/EU)
- BAA available for enterprise customers
Enterprise compliance
For practices requiring a BAA or detailed security documentation, contact us at info@gethermetiq.com. We provide compliance documentation and can work with your security team.
Encryption
All data is encrypted at every stage:
- TLS 1.3 for all data in transit
- AES-256 encryption for all data at rest
- Audio files encrypted during upload and processing
- Generated notes stored with client-side encryption
- Database-level encryption on all tables
Audio handling
Audio is the most sensitive data Hermetiq processes. Here's exactly what happens:
- 1You upload an audio file — it's encrypted in transit via TLS 1.3
- 2The file is transcribed by our AI pipeline in an isolated environment
- 3The audio file is permanently deleted immediately after transcription
- 4Only the encrypted transcript remains, under your control
Audio is never stored. It exists only during the transcription process.
What we don't do
- use your data to train AI models
- share client information with third parties
- retain audio after transcription
- collect usage analytics or telemetry
- sell or monetize your data in any way
What Hermetiq stores
Hermetiq stores only what you explicitly save:
- Your account email (for authentication)
- Generated clinical notes (encrypted)
- Session metadata (dates, note types)
- Your customization preferences
You can delete your data at any time from your account settings.
Telemetry & analytics
Hermetiq collects zero usage data. Period.
No analytics. No telemetry. No crash reports. No usage tracking.
- No automatic error reporting
- No feature usage tracking
- No session statistics
- No behavioral analytics
- No third-party analytics SDKs
Infrastructure
- Hosted on SOC 2-compliant cloud infrastructure
- All processing in isolated, ephemeral environments
- Regional data processing — US or EU based on your preference
- Regular security audits and penetration testing
- Encrypted database with row-level security policies
Practice & enterprise review
If your practice, clinic, or compliance team has questions about our security posture, we're happy to provide detailed documentation.
