**Does Plaud use your recordings to train AI?**
Its policy says: "Plaud will not train on your data by default — explicit opt-in is required." ([source](https://web.archive.org/web/20260930155730/https://www.plaud.ai/pages/trust)). We record the company's own statement; we have not audited it.

**Is Plaud NotePin HIPAA compliant?**
Plaud's statement: "meets the strictest global security & compliance standards, including GDPR, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, SOC2 Type 2, HIPAA and EN 18031" ([source](https://web.archive.org/web/20260930155730/https://www.plaud.ai/pages/trust)). HIPAA has no official certification; a practice recording patients needs a business associate agreement (BAA) with the vendor. We do not judge compliance.
