Tenali AI is designed with privacy and security as core principles:

  • No raw audio storage: Tenali AI does not store raw call audio after processing
  • Real-time processing: Audio is transcribed in real-time and discarded
  • No training on customer data: Customer conversations are never used to train AI models
  • Minimal data retention: Only necessary metadata is retained for product functionality

Encryption

Data in Transit

  • All data transmitted between users and Tenali AI servers uses TLS 1.3 encryption
  • API communications are encrypted using industry-standard protocols
  • No unencrypted data transmission occurs at any point

  • Encryption keys are managed using industry best practices
  • Database-level encryption for all persistent storage

Infrastructure Security

  • Cloud Provider: Hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure
  • Network Security: Firewalls, intrusion detection, and monitoring in place
  • Access Controls: Role-based access control (RBAC) for all internal systems
