Call recording: what to know before you start

In short. RecUmi Calls records your phone calls and voice notes on your phone. The recordings stay with you: we do not receive them and do not store them. While recording, Android shows an indicator and a notification.

Your responsibility towards the other party

Call recording laws differ between countries. In some, the consent of one participant is enough; in others the consent of all participants is required, and recording without it may be an offence.

The consent you give to the app is not the consent of the person you are talking to. The app cannot obtain their consent on your behalf.

Therefore: if the law of your country or of the other party's country requires you to give notice of recording, give it before recording starts. Compliance with those laws is your responsibility as the user.

How the app warns you

Before requesting microphone access, RecUmi shows a screen explaining why the microphone is needed, what the app will be able to see and what it does not do, and states plainly that the law may require you to notify the other party. There is no separate consent checkbox: the disclosure is shown before the Android system permission request.

What we do not do

We do not send your recordings or transcripts to our servers · we do not sell data · we do not start recording without your permission · we do not hide recording from Android's own indicators.

If you are unsure

Do not record. Check what the law of your country requires. Recording can be turned off in the app settings at any time.
