Completed transcripts will be sent via a one-time, password-protected download link to clients’ email. Files can also be encrypted and password protected on request.

If clients prefer to use their own organisation’s file-sharing secure systems, we are happy to work within alternative structures.

IT SECURITY, DATA STORAGE AND DELETION

Until downloaded, files are stored on WeTransfer’s European servers, using AES 256 encryption at-rest. Downloaded files are stored on an encrypted hard drive on secure, updated systems.

Audio files are securely deleted from all systems after completion of transcription project and transcription documents are deleted 3 weeks after  completion, unless specified otherwise by the client.
