European meeting tool
The meeting tool for people
who don't trust Google or Zoom.
Punkto runs your structured meetings in Europe, on European servers, under European law. Meeting content stays with Hetzner in the EU and Mistral in France. The audio file is stored temporarily on that server, then deleted once the transcript is saved, or within 24 hours if transcription fails. The account keeps the encrypted text, not the audio. Card payments go through Stripe in the US. Google is contacted only if you choose Google sign-in.

What an American meeting tool actually does with your conversation
When you host a call on Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams, your audio is processed and often retained on infrastructure owned by a US corporation, subject to the US Cloud Act and to FISA Section 702. That means a US authority can compel the provider to disclose your data, including data stored in European data centres, without your knowledge and without notifying you.
The Schrems II decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union has made this exposure explicit since 2020. The reauthorization of FISA 702 in April 2024 made it worse. EU-region hosting on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud does not change the legal regime applicable to the parent company.
On top of that, several leading meeting AI tools train their models on the audio they receive, unless you remember to opt out, page by page, in their settings. The default is surveillance.
What Punkto does differently
EU-only infrastructure
Hetzner in the EU for the application, the database, and the video servers. No AWS and no GCP on the meeting path. Stripe (US) handles the card only. Google is contacted only for optional sign-in. Neither receives the meeting.
Audio is not kept in the account
The audio file is stored temporarily on the Punkto EU server, sent to Mistral in France for the transcript, then deleted once the transcript and the summary are saved. If transcription fails, the file is deleted within 24 hours. The account keeps the text, encrypted with AES-256-GCM, not the audio. There is no player and no download.
No training on your conversations
Transcription and summaries run on Mistral in France. Mistral's API terms say this content is not used to train models. Meeting content is not sent to Stripe or to Google.
Ephemeral and end-to-end modes
If the standard mode is still too much for you, run the session in Ephemeral mode and nothing is persisted to our database. For sensitive files, the End-to-End mode encrypts attachments in your browser using a key that lives only in the URL fragment and never reaches our servers.
Open about the trade-offs
We do not pretend the cards and chat are end-to-end encrypted, because they go through our EU relay in clear so collaboration works. We tell you exactly what is encrypted and what is not. The full details live on the security page.

Free tier is real, no credit card, no demo gating. One AI transcript a month, up to 60 minutes, is enough to try it. Pro is 9 EUR a month when you need more.
