Privacy Policy

Last updated 12 November 2026

Record Lecture records lectures in your browser and turns them into notes, a quiz and a tutor you can ask questions. This page explains what that means for your data, in plain terms.

The short version. You sign in with Google. Your lecture audio is sent to us only to be transcribed, and it is deleted from our servers once your notes are written. We keep the transcript, notes, quiz and chat until you delete the lecture. We do not sell your data, show ads, use tracking or analytics tools, or use your lectures to train AI models.

1. Who we are

Record Lecture (recordlecture.com) is made by the developer of Laxu AI and the Recap lecture recorder, and uses the same account system. For anything in this policy, contact contact@laxuai.com.

2. What we collect

Your account. When you sign in with Google, we receive your email address, your name and your profile picture from Google. We use them to sign you in and to keep your lectures together. We never see your Google password.

Your lectures.

  • Audio from your microphone, while you record. It is sent to our servers in parts of up to 10 minutes so transcription can start before the lecture ends.
  • Transcript: the text of what was said, with times.
  • Study material made from the transcript: notes, quiz questions and exam flags.
  • Your chat: the questions you ask the tutor and its answers.
  • Labels you add: the class name and the moments you flag while recording.

Technical data. Like any website, our hosting providers receive your IP address, browser type and the pages you request, and keep short-lived logs to run and protect the service.

What we do not collect. No contacts, location or advertising identifiers. There are no ads, no analytics or tracking tools, and no third-party tracking cookies on Record Lecture.

3. Your audio

  • Deleted after your notes are written. Once the transcript, notes and quiz are stored, the audio files are removed from our servers. A scheduled job also removes audio left behind by an interrupted recording.
  • No copy is kept on the website. While you record, the parts waiting to be sent are held in your browser's memory only. After that the audio cannot be played back from Record Lecture.
  • Up to 2 hours per recording.

A recording will normally contain your lecturer's voice, and may contain classmates. We process it only to make a transcript for you. We do not use it to identify anyone, and we do not build voice profiles. You are responsible for making sure you are allowed to record: see our Terms of Use.

4. How we use your information

  • To transcribe your recordings and make notes and quizzes from them.
  • To answer questions you ask about a lecture.
  • To show your lectures when you sign in.
  • To apply the free allowance and check whether your account has a subscription.
  • To find and fix problems, such as a recording that would not transcribe.

We do not use your lectures, transcripts or notes to train AI models, and we do not sell or rent your data to anyone.

Transcription and AI providers may keep the data they receive for a limited time under their own policies. We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or to protect the safety and rights of users and of the service.

6. Cookies and storage in your browser

We use cookies only to keep you signed in. The site also stores a little information in your browser for the current visit, such as the page to return to after signing in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

7. How long we keep things

  • Audio: deleted from our servers once your notes are written.
  • Transcripts, notes, quizzes and chat: kept until you delete the lecture or ask us to delete your account.
  • Your account: kept until you ask us to delete it.

8. Your choices

  • Delete a lecture: open it and press Delete. Its transcript, notes, quiz and chat are removed from our servers.
  • Delete your account: email contact@laxuai.com from the address you sign in with, and we will delete your account and everything in it.
  • Get a copy of your data or correct it: email us at the same address.
  • Microphone access can be turned off at any time in your browser's site settings. Record Lecture cannot record without it.

9. Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Stored lecture data can only be read by our service using server-side credentials; other users cannot see your lectures. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

Record Lecture is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has used it, contact us and we will delete the account.

11. International users

Our servers and providers are in the United States and Europe. Using Record Lecture means your information may be transferred to and processed in those places.

12. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we will say so on the site.
