    Policy Snapshot

    As of 2026-03-23
    Data Training

    Opt-In Only

    Without Privacy Mode, dictation data may be used for debugging and improving transcription services. Model training requires explicit opt-in per the Feb 2026 privacy policy update. Voice data is never sold or shared. With Privacy Mode on, nothing is stored.

    Opt-Out

    Yes - Privacy Mode

    Enable Privacy Mode in Settings → Data & Privacy → Privacy Mode for Zero Data Retention. To opt out of model training specifically, do not opt in (training is opt-in, not opt-out). Opt-in/out can be changed at any time.

    Human Review

    Possible

    Without Privacy Mode enabled, dictation data may be reviewed to debug model failures. With Privacy Mode on, no data is stored or accessible for review. Wispr states data is never sold or shared with third parties.

    Retention

    Zero with Privacy Mode

    Voice data not stored when Privacy Mode is enabled. Without Privacy Mode, data retained per Wispr's standard policy (unspecified duration, deleted when no longer needed). Third-party LLM data deleted after 30 days.

    Security

    Encrypted + HIPAA BAA Available

    Data encrypted in transit and at rest. Cloud-based processing requires internet. HIPAA BAA available on all plans since Aug 2025. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications are Enterprise-only.

    HIPAA BAA now on all tiers; SOC 2/ISO 27001 and enforced Zero Data Retention remain Enterprise-only

    As of August 2025, HIPAA BAA is available on all plans including the free Basic tier. However, privacy and compliance controls are still stronger at higher tiers: Basic and Pro have Privacy Mode available but optional (user-controlled), while Enterprise enforces Zero Data Retention and HIPAA org-wide with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification.

    Bottom Line

    For organizations with 5+ staff

    Flow Pro at $8/month (nonprofit annual) is excellent value for teams of any size. Unlimited dictation, Command Mode, shared snippets and dictionary, centralized billing. No seat minimum since November 2025. Enable Privacy Mode for sensitive content. HIPAA BAA available on Pro — accept it in settings for health-related work.

    For organizations with fewer than 5 staff

    Free tier (2,000 words/week desktop) may suffice for light use. Pro at $8/month for heavy writers, accessibility needs, or teams. HIPAA BAA now available even on the free plan — accept it in settings if handling any health-related content.

    For health data or vulnerable populations

    HIPAA BAA is now available on ALL plans since August 2025, including free Basic. For individual practitioners, accept the BAA in Settings → Data & Privacy (this also enables Privacy Mode). For organizations needing enforced compliance for all staff, Enterprise tier is required — it enforces Zero Data Retention and HIPAA org-wide and provides SOC 2 Type II + ISO 27001 certifications. Pro with Privacy Mode and BAA may work for non-PHI content and small teams who can self-enforce.
