On April 20, 2026, the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has published new guidance on how to comply with the GDPR when using AI‑powered voice transcription tools. The guidance builds on earlier AEPD guidance on this topic from January 2026. This blog post sets out the key takeaways of both guidance documents, which are only available in Spanish.
