It is crucial to obtain consent before recording someone. This is especially important with Ghost, as recordings are made on your device and other participants may not be aware they are being recorded unless you inform them.

We suggest the following approach for requesting consent:

"This meeting is important to me, and I want to ensure I don't forget what we discussed. Is it alright with you if I use Ghost to record and transcribe our conversation?".

Recording laws vary depending on the location of the individuals being recorded. In some regions, all parties must consent to being recorded, while in others, only one party's consent is required. It is essential to understand and comply with the specific legal requirements in your area to avoid potential legal issues.

However, regardless of the legal requirements, we advocate for a higher standard of privacy and respect. We strongly recommend that all Ghost users proactively seek explicit consent from everyone they record. This practice ensures transparency and fosters trust among all parties involved. Prioritizing consent not only mitigates legal risks but also demonstrates a commitment to ethical behavior and respect for others' privacy.

By adhering to this standard, you can create a more trustworthy and respectful environment for your conversations, ensuring that all participants feel comfortable and respected.
