    Quick Take

    The leading AI-powered live translation and captioning platform for meetings and events. Strong security with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification. Explicit commitment to never train on customer data. New Workspaces feature extends translation to daily enterprise workflows. 10% nonprofit/NGO discount is modest but AI vs. human interpreter savings are substantial. HIPAA compliance still not addressed publicly — verify before use with PHI.

    Policy Snapshot

    As of 2026-03-23
    Data Training

    No, never

    Wordly does not use data from customer meetings and events to train speech recognition and translation models. This is part of the Trusted AI Translation Framework.

    Opt-Out

    Not needed

    Training is prohibited by default as part of Trusted AI Translation Framework.

    Human Review

    Never

    100% AI-powered with no human interpreters involved. Audio and transcripts are not reviewed by Wordly staff.

    Retention

    Account duration

    Account information retained as long as account is active. Personal data deleted upon request. Usage/transaction data retained for accounting purposes per Privacy Policy (updated October 25, 2025).

    Security

    SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001

    SOC 2 Type II audited by Prescient Assurance. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified (announced February 2026). Encryption at rest and in transit. TLS 1.2+. AWS and GCP infrastructure.

    Privacy protections are identical across all tiers; tiers differ only by hours and features

    All six tiers (Starter through Enterprise) share the same no-training policy and SOC 2 Type II + ISO 27001 security certifications. Key feature upgrades appear at Pro+ (transcript translation, voice transcripts, summaries) and Enterprise (SSO, configurable data storage, Workspaces). The nonprofit 10% discount applies to Pro and above.

    Choose tier based on annual hours needed. Nonprofits should target Pro (25 hrs) or higher to access the 10% discount.

    Key Distinctions

    Never trains on customer data

    Explicit Trusted AI Translation Framework commitment: Wordly does not use data from customer meetings and events to train AI models. This is one of the clearest AI training policies in the market and applies uniformly to all tiers.

    ISO 27001 certified (February 2026)

    Wordly achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification in February 2026, adding to its existing SOC 2 Type II compliance. Together these certifications provide strong independent assurance of security controls — ISO 27001 governs the security management framework and SOC 2 validates operational compliance.

    HIPAA status still unclear

    CRITICAL: HIPAA compliance and BAA availability are not addressed in any public documentation as of March 2026. Healthcare organizations processing PHI must verify BAA availability with Wordly sales before use.

    No attendee friction

    Attendees don't need accounts, downloads, or personal information to use translation. Access via web browser, QR code, or URL. Reduces barriers to participation.

    Workspaces for everyday enterprise use (2026)

    The new Workspaces feature (launched February 2026) extends Wordly beyond one-off events into daily enterprise workflows: town halls, training, standups, and team meetings. Organizations can share sessions, glossaries, and transcripts across departments with SSO governance.

    Massive cost savings vs interpreters

    While the 10% nonprofit discount is modest, AI translation costs a fraction of human interpreters ($200–500+/hour per language). Makes multilingual events accessible for smaller organizations. Wordly claims 50%+ savings over human interpreters.

    Bottom Line

    For organizations with 5+ staff

    Contact Wordly sales for Pro package (25+ hours) with 10% nonprofit/NGO discount. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with explicit no-training policy. The new Workspaces feature makes it practical to deploy translation beyond annual conferences into ongoing team operations. Good value vs human interpreters.

    For organizations with fewer than 5 staff

    Starter package (10 hours) available for smaller organizations and can be purchased online. Nonprofit discount only applies to Pro (25 hours) and above. Consider whether translation needs justify the investment; the Starter tier still provides full privacy protections and ISO 27001 security.

    For health data or vulnerable populations

    HIPAA compliance is NOT addressed in public documentation as of March 2026. Healthcare organizations MUST verify BAA availability with Wordly sales before processing any PHI in translated meetings. Do not assume compliance based on SOC 2 or ISO 27001 alone.
