Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 21, 2026
Ronnie Relay is a self-hosted, single-owner application. It is operated privately by and for one individual ("the Owner", Ronnie Samuel) to take notes in meetings the Owner attends. It is not offered to the public and has no third-party user accounts. This policy explains what data the application processes and how it is handled.

1. Who operates this application

Ronnie Relay is operated by Ronnie Samuel ("we", "us", the "Operator") on infrastructure the Operator controls. Contact: ronnie@ronniesamuel.com.

2. Scope

This application does not create accounts for, market to, or provide services to any third party. The only "user" is the Owner. Meeting participants whose audio is captured while the Owner attends a meeting are data subjects addressed in Section 4.

3. What data we process

4. Meeting participants

When the Owner attends a meeting, the assistant joins as a clearly labeled participant ("Ronnie Relay") with a branded video tile, so its presence is visible to everyone. Audio is captured only for producing the Owner's transcript and notes. Recordings and transcripts are made available only to the Owner. We do not identify participants beyond the display names they present in the meeting, and we do not use their data for any purpose other than the Owner's notes. The Owner is responsible for providing any legally required notice and obtaining any required consent, and for honoring requests not to be recorded.

5. How we use data

We do not sell data, share it with advertisers, or use meeting content to train machine-learning models.

6. Third-party processors

The application relies on a small number of services strictly to perform its function:

ProviderPurposeData shared
Zoom Video CommunicationsMeeting participation via the Zoom Meeting SDKAuthorization tokens; meeting audio/video streamed within the meeting
Speech-to-text engineTranscribing meeting audioMeeting audio (self-hosted where possible)
OpenAI (via the Owner's own account)Generating the meeting summary from the transcriptMeeting transcript text
Email / chat deliverySending the finished notes to the OwnerThe Owner's own notes

Each provider's use is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.

7. Storage, location, and retention

Meeting audio, transcripts, and notes are stored on the Operator's own server. They are retained for as long as the Owner finds them useful and are deleted at the Owner's discretion. Zoom access tokens are short-lived and are refreshed or minted only as needed to join a meeting.

8. Security

Access is restricted to the Operator. Traffic to this site and the application is encrypted with TLS. Credentials are stored server-side and are never displayed to meeting participants. See Security & Data Handling for more.

9. Your choices and rights

A meeting participant may ask the Owner to stop recording, to not be recorded, or to delete a recording or transcript of a meeting they attended; the Owner will honor such requests. Requests can be sent to ronnie@ronniesamuel.com.

10. Children

This application is not directed to children and does not knowingly process children's data.

11. Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date.
