Where data lives, who processes it

Ten subprocessors handle data for Visor. All ten are in the EU.

AI and your data

Every AI provider in the voice and chat path runs in the EU. Each one handles customer data under its own terms.

Azure EU
Prompts, generated outputs and related metadata may be processed. Microsoft does not use customer data to train or improve models.
Vertex AI EU, region europe-west8
Google does not use customer data to train or fine-tune models without the customer's permission. Inputs may be cached in memory for a limited period to reduce latency, and prompts may be logged for abuse monitoring, as Google Cloud's terms set out.
Dedicated EU endpoint
Visor's requests are excluded from Deepgram's Model Improvement Program, so customer audio is not used to train Deepgram models. Audio is kept only for the time needed to process each request.
Dedicated EU endpoint
Visor's account is opted out of AssemblyAI's model improvement program, so customer data is not used to train its models or for benchmarking.
EU data residency
Used under an enterprise agreement with EU data residency and Zero Retention Mode, so content is not kept on ElevenLabs' servers after processing and is not used to train its models.
