Granola Data Handling

Overview

Manage data lifecycle for Granola meeting data: export, retention policies, GDPR/CCPA compliance, and long-term archival. Covers individual data rights, organizational policies, and automated archival workflows.

Prerequisites

• Granola admin access (for retention policies)
• Understanding of applicable regulations (GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2)
• Export destination prepared (cloud storage, Notion, local)

Instructions

Step 1 — Understand Data Types and Sensitivity

Data Type	What It Contains	Sensitivity	Storage
Meeting Notes	Your typed notes + AI-enhanced output	Medium	Granola cloud + local cache
Transcripts	Full text transcription of audio	High (verbatim speech)	Granola cloud + local cache
Audio	Raw meeting audio	Critical	Deleted after transcription (not stored)
Attendee Info	Names, emails from calendar events	PII	Granola cloud (People & Companies)
Calendar Metadata	Event titles, times, attendee lists	Low-Medium	Synced from Google/Outlook

Key fact: Granola does not store raw audio after transcription. This is a significant privacy advantage — there is no audio file to leak, export, or subpoena.

Step 2 — Export Meeting Data

Individual note export:

1. Open the meeting note in Granola
2. Click the ... menu > Copy (copies as Markdown)
3. Paste into your target: Notion, Google Doc, text editor

Important limitation: Granola does not currently support bulk export, PDF export, or structured file download (JSON/CSV). The available options are:

• Copy individual notes as text/Markdown
• Share to Notion (one note at a time via native integration)
• Share to Slack (one note at a time)
• Enterprise API (read-only access to workspace notes)

Workaround for bulk access — local cache:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

 json
 pathlib  Path
 datetime  datetime

CACHE_PATH = Path.home() / 
OUTPUT_DIR = Path.home() / 
OUTPUT_DIR.mkdir(exist_ok=)

 ():
    raw = json.loads(CACHE_PATH.read_text())
    state = json.loads(raw)  (raw, )  raw
    data = state.get(, state)
    docs = data.get(, {})

    exported = 
     doc_id, doc  docs.items():
        title = doc.get(, ).replace(, )
        created = doc.get(, )[:]
        content = doc.get(, {})

        
        text_parts = []
         (content, ):
             node  content.get(, []):
                 node.get() == :
                     child  node.get(, []):
                        text_parts.append(child.get(, ))
                 node.get() == :
                    level = node.get(, {}).get(, )
                    prefix =  * level
                     child  node.get(, []):
                        text_parts.append()

        filename = 
        filepath = OUTPUT_DIR / filename
        filepath.write_text()
        exported += 

    ()
