Audiominutes.com positions itself as a public-sector webcasting platform, helping councils stream meetings. That's a niche but legitimate service, and on the surface, the site looks the part: a domain that's been active since 2014, an about page, contact details, and social media links. The hosting is on AWS, the connection is encrypted, and Google sees no threats.
So why is our rating cautious? Two things. First, for any commercial SaaS site — especially one that likely handles meeting recordings and user accounts — the absence of a privacy policy and terms of service is unusual. UK and EU data regulations require these. Second, we found a sensitive internal file exposed on the server. That doesn't mean the site is a scam, but it's sloppy and could indicate bigger gaps.
If you're a council evaluating audiominutes.com, you may want to ask for their data handling and security documentation directly before signing up. For casual visitors, there's nothing here to suggest outright fraud — just some missing paperwork that should be there.
