What does no-log mean for StartACall?

No-log refers to reducing or avoiding storage of call audio and unnecessary metadata. StartACall disables recording and transcription by default and provides controls to enable them only when required.

Can I enable recording for compliance and then delete it?

Yes. Recording is available as an opt-in feature and retained according to your retention policy. You can delete stored recordings and transcripts via the dashboard when needed.

Do I need an app to use StartACall private calls?

No app required. StartACall runs in modern browsers using WebRTC. Create an account, open the dialer, and call instantly.

What is a no-log calling service?

A no-log calling service minimizes or eliminates storage of call content and unnecessary metadata. StartACall gives you controls to avoid recording calls, disable transcripts, and limit retention of call details.

How does StartACall protect my call data?

StartACall uses browser WebRTC for media transport, ephemeral authentication tokens, optional recording and transcription toggles, and strict access controls so you can keep calls private. Media is bridged to the PSTN using Twilio while StartACall limits stored metadata and does not retain call audio unless you enable recording.

Can I disable call transcription and recording?

Yes. Recording and AI transcription are opt-in features. By default calls are not recorded and transcripts are not stored. You can enable them per-call or for specific virtual numbers when needed.

Will StartACall respond to lawful requests?

StartACall limits stored data to the minimum needed to operate. We respond to lawful process as required by applicable law. Because recording and transcript storage are opt-in, most calls remain private unless the account holder enables retention.

How StartACall Delivers No-log Calling

Privacy controls at every layer so teams can choose what to store and what to discard.

Ephemeral Authentication

Short-lived browser tokens prevent long-term exposure of session credentials. Tokens expire automatically after the session ends.

Recording and Transcription Controls

Record or transcribe only when you opt in. By default audio is not stored and transcripts are disabled to reduce data retention.

Metadata Minimization

We store only operational metadata required for billing and service quality. You can enable additional minimization settings in account preferences.

Technical Highlights

StartACall uses WebRTC for direct browser media, Twilio for PSTN bridging, and an architecture that keeps media flows separate from persistent storage. AI features like copilot and agents process audio only when explicitly enabled and can be configured to avoid storing transcripts.
