The terms used in this Privacy Policy shall have the same meaning as in the Terms of Use, unless noted otherwise.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not download, install, register with, access, or use Krisp and/or the Site. By downloading, installing, registering with, accessing, or using Krisp and/or the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This policy may change from time to time.

“I’ve been in the privacy industry for 13 years before setting out to build Krisp with our team.
I headed Product Security at Twilio, the leading cloud communications platform. During my time at Twilio, the company was going through a major undertaking to become GDPR compliant.
I was also one of the designers of FIDO security protocol, a privacy-first authentication protocol.
We know how to design privacy-first systems.
Krisp desktop app (Windows, Mac and Chrome), by design, sits between your physical microphone and your other apps (e.g. Zoom) and processes your audio to make it higher quality. And you may (rightfully) wonder if it does anything else with the audio. For example, does Krisp send audio to its cloud?
The answer is that we will never send your audio to our servers without your explicit consent. This is a design principle we will always follow.
Krisp mobile app, by design, is a calling app. It places calls on your behalf and connects to conference meetings or directly to phone numbers. To place these calls we use Twilio which is known to have implemented best-in-class enterprise security practices and holds best security certifications out there. Thus, when you use Krisp mobile app your voice data is sent to Twilio’s servers and then goes through necessary hops until it reaches the necessary end-service (e.g. a carrier like AT&T, conferencing services such as Zoom or Google). With this architecture, Krisp backend never sees your voice data. Your voice data is never recorded or analyzed on Twilio servers (unless you opted in for it).
We very well understand how sensitive this question will become over time and one of the most important design principles of Krisp we adopted early on was – our users’ privacy comes first. This means that whatever design choices our team employs, users’ privacy will be at the center of our mind.”
– Davit Baghdasaryan, CEO and Co-Founder
