Is Vapi safe for work?

Medium risk · 28

Vapi · Audio · facts (medium-confidence)

Vapi is medium-risk for default at-work use (28/100): it trains on your data unless you opt out, and holds SOC 2 Type II.

Watch out: Vapi's default configuration retains call data and can use it to improve the service; you have to explicitly turn on HIPAA mode to disable storage and training use, and even then you choose HIPAA-compliant providers yourself. Treat it as developer infrastructure that requires deliberate configuration.

Data retention
Default: call recordings, transcripts and logs are retained per the customer's own configuration and may be used to improve the service. With HIPAA mode on, persistence is disabled and nothing is stored.
Safer tier
Any plan with HIPAA mode (hipaaEnabled true) enabled and only HIPAA-compliant provider keys configured: a per-assistant configuration flag, not a separate paid tier.
