How StartACall protects your calls

We combine secure transport, clear controls, and transparent policies so you can use browser calling without worrying about data mining.

Transport Security

WebRTC signaling and media use TLS and SRTP to protect audio while it travels between your browser and our telephony backbone.

Privacy Controls

Turn off transcription and AI copilot at any time. Choose per-number recording, set retention windows, and delete stored transcripts manually.

No Data Mining Policy

We do not use call audio or transcripts to target ads or to train external models. AI features run only with your consent and are scoped to your account.

Practical privacy settings

From the dashboard you can disable transcription, prevent recordings, set automatic deletion periods, and choose where transcripts are stored. For customers with stricter compliance needs we offer configurable retention and data export options.

Data Residency

Select preferred cloud region for storage and processing where available.

AI Opt-In

AI agents and copilot are opt-in and can be disabled globally or per-call.

AI, Transcription, and Data Handling
