Interprefy: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Interprefy is a cloud platform for remote simultaneous interpreting at meetings, conferences and events. Participants join through a web platform or mobile app and hear interpreters in a virtual booth. The platform uses third-party speech recognition and machine translation, and the vendor says customer content is not used to train models. It is not presented as open source.

Interprefy AG is a Swiss corporation seated in Zurich. Its privacy policy states that meetings held in an EU country are stored and processed in the European Union, and the website says the platform is built in Switzerland and hosted in Europe. Telephone dial-in runs through a US supplier, for which the policy refers to EU Standard Contractual Clauses. The company says it complies with the GDPR and acts as processor for recordings of hosts' meetings, but offers no standalone data processing agreement. European organisations should check the hosting location for each meeting, the transfer terms of the US telephony supplier and the contractual data protection terms.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Interprefy

Interprefy is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

Interprefy hosts data in the EU and in Switzerland. Switzerland is covered by a European Commission adequacy decision, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. If you require strictly EU hosting, check the data processing agreement for which data is stored in Switzerland.

Interprefy is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Interprefy together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
