I recently saw an audio recorder that is marketed as automatically transcribing your meetings and sending the text to an app. As a non-native speaker of the language where I live this was appealing, until I read the FAQ. It said something like "what about security of my data? A: Don't worry all data is transmitted using a secure tsl connection" .. like that was the beginning and end of the data security story for audio recordings of your private meetings.. Some times I thinks this country still being in the paper and fax age is the only thing saving it from it's self..

I’m routinely amazed by this too. Honestly when I see that this is the sole privacy or security disclaimer in anything but the most trivial of websites’ FAQ, I run the other way. Nothing on privacy, nothing about storage at rest, nothing about access controls and what customer data staff can access. It just comes across as indicative of a security-through-checkboxing view on security and a “heh, yeah sure buddy” approach to privacy.
