SOC 2 report
Confirmed
Otter.ai, Inc. reports a SOC 2 attestation. Request the current report and relevant bridge letter during procurement.
ISO 27001
Not verified
No ISO/IEC 27001 certification was confirmed in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Default data training
Opt-out required
Otter uses a proprietary method to de-identify user data and trains its own models on it by default, with opt-out controls reportedly available in account data settings.
Business-tier training
Opt-out required
Otter de-identifies and trains on user data by default (third-party AI service providers do not train on it); enterprise customers act as data controllers and can configure controls.
Practical risk: Otter trains its own models on de-identified user content by default and its meeting assistant can auto-join calendar meetings, raising consent and surveillance concerns (it is the subject of a wiretap/consent class action).

How to make a decision

Check the precise account tier, written contract and intended data before approving Otter.ai. A security certification, DPA or setting can apply to only part of a vendor's service. Keep the source links with your supplier review and revisit them when the vendor changes its terms.
