Deepgram Data Handling

Prerequisites

• Data classification, consent/legal basis, approved retention/deletion policy, storage boundary, and named data owner.
• A redaction/logging policy and an incident route for recording or transcript exposure.

Examples

Process a licensed development fixture through the approved region/storage route, verify its retention/deletion behavior, and record only a correlation ID and policy result. Do not put recordings, transcripts, participant identifiers, or storage URLs into test logs; on accidental exposure, restrict access and follow the data incident procedure.
