Fireflies.ai, a leading generative AI startup known for its meeting assistant and AI notetaker, has launched Private Storage—a dedicated, isolated infrastructure for enterprises that handle sensitive data.
The new offering will enable customers to choose where their data is stored, giving them complete control to meet industry and regional regulations. Healthcare companies, for example, may prefer storage in the US to comply with HIPAA regulations, whereas multinational corporations may prefer storage in the EU to comply with GDPR. Customers can also use Private Storage to bring their storage buckets in AWS’s S3 or GCP’s Google Cloud Storage. This provides customers complete data control, including permission control, privacy, auditability, and data lifecycle management.
Fireflies Private Storage complements the company’s existing security practices, which include SOC 2 Type 2 certification, GDPR compliance, end-to-end encryption, access controls, and rigorous third-party security audits. In addition, the company has Business Associate Agreements (BAA) and zero-day retention policies with vendors such as OpenAI to ensure that specific third parties retain no customer data.
“Data privacy and security have always been central to our product philosophy at Fireflies.ai. We safeguard customers’ voice, video, and transcription data to ensure our AI works in lockstep with what global security and IT teams require. Private Storage now takes security, privacy, and compliance to the next level for our enterprise clients,” said Fireflies CEO Krish Ramineni.
Private Storage customers retain complete data ownership and can customize policies for access permissions, retention, and more. Fireflies-managed or customer-owned storage options are available for Enterprise plan customers.
“As leaders in the generative AI space, we’re committed to steering customers into the future with robust data security and privacy tools. This is not something that is easy to accomplish for AI companies working with large language models (LLMs), but at Fireflies, every engineering decision starts with security at the core,” explains Fireflies CTO Sam Udotong.
Private Storage is key to Fireflies’ growing customer portfolio in healthcare, finance, legal, and other regulated industries. Organizations can now request access to the enterprise offering with private storage as an add-on, beginning today.
