AI processing

Your audio is processed by specialist third-party AI services to create transcripts and summaries.

International data transfers

Personal information may be processed outside South Africa, or outside your own country, when NoteWave’s service providers support the product from other jurisdictions. Contractual, organisational and technical safeguards are used where the law requires them, and only information reasonably needed for the service should be processed. For questions, or to request subprocessor information, email contact@blazesolutions.ai.

Service-provider assurance

NoteWave uses specialist providers for infrastructure, processing, communications, billing and app purchases. Individual providers may hold independent certifications or payment-industry controls relevant to their service.

Making a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your privacy rights have been violated. In South Africa, contact the Information Regulator. In the EU or EEA, contact your local Data Protection Authority or the European Data Protection Board.
