Is Wispr Flow safe for business data?
Wispr Flow’s “Improve the model for everyone” and Dictation Cloud Storage settings start on, so dictation audio, transcripts, and edits may be used to train its models unless you turn them off; on Enterprise, training is off and cannot be turned on.
Training, plan by plan
- Used for training: Free, Pro, and Teams: used, unless you turn it off.
- Not used for training: Enterprise: not used, and it cannot be turned on.

How to turn training off
- In the Wispr Flow app, open Settings, then Data and Privacy, and turn off “Improve the model for everyone.” Source: wisprflow.ai
- In the same place, turn off Dictation Cloud Storage so dictation stays on the device. Audio is then discarded once transcribed. Source: wisprflow.ai
- Set local dictation history to auto-delete after 24 hours, or never save it. Source: wisprflow.ai
Safer setup for a small team
Turn off “Improve the model for everyone” and Dictation Cloud Storage for everyone, or use Enterprise, where training is locked off. Remember that dictation captures whatever people say, including customer details.
Plan to approve: Wispr Flow Enterprise, or Teams with every member opted out
Setting to check: “Improve the model for everyone” off, cloud storage off
A line for your AI policy: Staff use Wispr Flow with “Improve the model for everyone” and Dictation Cloud Storage turned off. Nobody dictates customer card numbers, passwords, or health details.
