Tarra Chamberlain, a Florida resident, alleged that Granola captured and transcribed her speech in a virtual meeting without her knowledge or consent after another participant used the notetaker. Her July 2026 lawsuit also alleges meeting data trains Granola's models by default, with no comparable opt-out for non-users.
What this means for youIf someone uses an AI notetaker in a meeting, your words may be recorded and kept even if you never signed up. Before joining, ask whether an AI notetaker is running and how the recording is used.
