What to check about privacy before turning on live captions

Check what happens to speech during the call and what the service keeps afterward. A control that hides subtitles and a control that changes processing or retention serve different purposes.

Read Hanashi’s current privacy policy

Ask three questions before enabling captions

Is speech processed on the device or sent somewhere else? Is any audio or text retained, and for how long? Can the other person see, save or share the result? Use the current privacy notice and call choices; assumptions from another app may not apply.

Make sure both people understand the arrangement

If one person wants captions for access, discuss what support is available and what each person is comfortable sharing. If one person wants to record, ask separately. If the service does not provide a choice you need, change the subject, turn to a format you both accept or choose a different service.
