Security

How Annavas protects your notes.

The details behind our privacy promise, in plain words. For the bigger picture, read Privacy & security.

  • Processing on your own computer

    Transcription and note writing run on your own Mac or Windows computer. Session content is not sent to us.

  • Locked with encryption on your computer

    Saved notes and recordings are locked with encryption on your computer (AES-256-GCM). The keys are protected by your operating system.

  • Locks itself when you step away

    If you step away, Annavas locks itself after a few minutes and opens again with Touch ID, Windows Hello or your password. A recording keeps going while it is locked.

  • You choose how long recordings are kept

    Retention is configurable. Temporary files are handled securely while a note is being made.

  • Signed, automatic updates

    Annavas keeps itself up to date, and every update is signed by Annavas so your computer can confirm it’s genuine.

  • Signed model updates

    The AI model files are signed and verified before they are installed, and they are shipped separately from the app. Only model files use this channel, never patient data.

  • What the app does send

    The app signs you in and checks your license, so it needs an internet connection for that. Your session content is not part of it.
