Plain-English policy
Your material is yours.
Your audio recording is deleted the moment your report is built. Your report — including its transcript and joke-by-joke breakdown — is kept privately in your account so you can revisit it, and you can delete it at any time. We never share it and never send it to third-party AI.
What we collect
We store your account email, subscription status, and upload job status. For each finished set we store the performance metrics (timestamps, durations, evidence labels, laughs per minute), the joke-by-joke grades with a short setup excerpt for each joke (this is how bits are named and tracked across nights), and the transcript, so your report stays useful when you come back to it and can be compared across nights. All of it lives only inside your report and is deleted with it. Full punchline text tied to your top moments is stored only if you turn that option on for a given upload.
How processing works
Your recording is processed on infrastructure we control. We do not send your audio, transcript, or jokes to an LLM or third-party AI service. Video uploads are accepted only as containers; the analysis uses the audio stream.
Live recording
If you use LaughSignal Live, your browser asks your permission to use your microphone, and recording only begins after you start it and stops when you do. The microphone is used solely to capture your set for analysis; the resulting audio follows the same rule as any upload — it is deleted the moment your report is built. Because a live recording may also pick up the room, you are responsible for recording only where you are permitted to and for giving any notice the venue or audience requires. You confirm this before each recording.
Deletion
Your audio recording is deleted as soon as your report is built. Your report and its transcript remain in your account until you delete them — deleting a report removes its transcript, grades, and any punchline text, and deleting your account removes all of it. Failed uploads age out of object storage within 24 hours. Database recovery copies are kept for no more than seven days, so deleted data ages out there too.
Security
Access is authenticated, externally reachable endpoints are rate-limited, credentials are least-privilege, and application logs exclude audio, transcripts, punchline text, and email addresses.
