Fathom Security Basics

API Key Management

• API keys are per-user and access meetings you recorded OR shared to your team
• Store in secrets manager, never in code
• Regenerate if compromised

Meeting Data Privacy

• Transcripts contain PII (names, spoken content)
• Action items may reference confidential business decisions
• Always redact before logging or analytics

def redact_transcript(segments: list[dict]) -> list[dict]:
    import re
    email_pattern = re.compile(r"[\w.+-]+@[\w-]+\.[\w.-]+")
    return [{
        **seg,
        "text": email_pattern.sub("[REDACTED_EMAIL]", seg["text"])
    } for seg in segments]

Security Checklist

• API key in secrets manager
• Meeting data encrypted at rest
• PII redacted in non-production environments
• Webhook endpoints use HTTPS
• Access logs track API key usage
