Parafoil

Guidebook

Privacy and security

Parafoil is designed so managers can be honest with themselves about how they lead. That only works if their feedback stays private. Our full Privacy Policy is the complete legal statement. This page answers the common questions in plain language.

Who sees what

Sees
Each managerTheir own feedback, Leadership Actions, digests and progress
The organizationTeam-level patterns across the organization, never individuals
Other organizationsNothing. Every organization's data is kept separate.
Can my manager or a colleague see my feedback?

No. Your feedback and meeting analysis are private to you. Nobody else in your organization can see them unless you choose to share.

What does my organization see?

Team-level patterns, such as how leadership is trending across teams, where teams may be overloaded, and whether programs are having an effect. Your organization never sees your individual feedback, your transcripts or your audio. Parafoil is never used as a performance review.

Can another organization see our data?

No. Each organization's data is isolated, and no organization can access another's.

How is my data kept secure?

Parafoil is SOC 2 Type II compliant and independently audited. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is controlled by role. Our SOC 2 report and current list of sub-processors are available at our Trust Center.

How does Parafoil capture meetings?

The Parafoil desktop app analyzes meetings on the host's own computer. There's no bot in the call, and Parafoil doesn't use Zoom, Google Meet or Teams cloud features to capture the meeting. Audio is then sent securely to Parafoil for transcription and analysis.

Does anyone at Parafoil look at my meetings?

Your meetings are analyzed automatically. To improve the quality of our analysis, people at Parafoil may review de-identified excerpts, and your organization can opt out. We don't train AI models on your meeting content unless your organization agrees to it, and our AI providers are contractually and technically prevented from training on it.

Where is our data hosted?

Parafoil runs on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure, with data encrypted in transit and at rest. The details, including our sub-processors, are at our Trust Center.

How long do you keep data, and can I delete it?

We keep meeting data only as long as we need it to provide the service, and your organization's agreement with us can set specific terms. You can ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of your data at any time by emailing privacy@parafoil.co.

What control do I have during a meeting?

You can Stop Analyzing or pause at any time from the desktop app, and Parafoil won't analyze that part of the meeting. You can also turn Parafoil off for a meeting entirely. The app always shows whether it's analyzing.
