Wispr Flow and your company’s data
By David Michaelson, MS Last checked October 23, 2026
The short answer
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.
Safer setup: 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.

Safer setup, step by step
- In the Wispr Flow app, open Settings, then Data and Privacy, and turn off “Improve the model for everyone.” Source: wisprflow.ai for this step
- In the same place, turn off Dictation Cloud Storage so dictation stays on the device. Audio is then discarded once transcribed. Source: wisprflow.ai for this step
- Set local dictation history to auto-delete after 24 hours, or never save it. Source: wisprflow.ai for this step
