Littlebird.ai was built for teams where data sensitivity is non-negotiable. Every architectural decision — from default note visibility to AI processing location — was made with your compliance posture in mind.
Default configurations determine real-world exposure. Most users never change defaults.

Not bolted on after the fact. Compliance was a first-class design constraint from day one.
Policies are only as good as the systems that enforce them.
Everything is private until you explicitly share it. Not the other way around.
We collect only what the product needs to function. No behavioral tracking beyond core analytics.
Your meeting content will never improve our models without explicit, affirmative opt-in.
Every data access event is logged. Your security team can review the full trail, always.
The SDK takes under 30 minutes to instrument. We can provide a full security review package — SOC 2 report, DPA template, and sub-processor list — before you sign anything.
Talk to our team about privacy, compliance, and integration. We'll respond within 24 hours.
