GDPR compliance depends on your full workflow, not any single tool — but CaptionLab's local processing removes one common complication: your video and audio data never crosses a border to a third-party server, because it never leaves your machine.
Under GDPR, sending personal data (which recorded speech usually is) to a cloud processor outside the EU raises data-transfer questions that legal/compliance teams have to evaluate. CaptionLab sidesteps this specific issue by not transmitting the audio anywhere at all.
Audio never leaves the machine it's processed on, so there's no third-country transfer question for transcription specifically.
No sub-processor agreement needed for the transcription step — there's no vendor server in the loop.
Output files live on your own storage under your own retention policy, not a vendor's.
CaptionLab is a technical tool, not a legal service — using it doesn't automatically make a workflow GDPR-compliant, and we don't hold or claim any formal GDPR/ISO certification. What it does provide is a transcription step with no data leaving your machine, which is one common item on a data-protection checklist. Talk to your own legal/compliance team for a full assessment.
