How Cockatoo Supports Multi-Jurisdictional Privacy Compliance

Processing in US and EU; Data Removed on Deletion; Support Access Requires Permission

Your files process in US and EU data centers. When you delete a file, it is removed from storage.

Support engineers access customer files only with your explicit permission, never by default.

Upload from YouTube, Dropbox, Drive; Auto-Detect Language; RTL Display for Arabic and Hebrew

Paste a YouTube link, connect Dropbox or Google Drive, or upload directly. Cockatoo detects the spoken language automatically.

Right-to-left display for Arabic and Hebrew transcripts keeps text readable in its native direction.

Language Auto-Detect Runs Before Transcription; Override Per File in Upload Modal

When you upload a file, Cockatoo detects the spoken language before transcription starts. If the auto-detect is wrong, override it in the upload modal before processing.

This means you can upload a batch of recordings in different languages and Cockatoo handles each one correctly without manual tagging.
