 ## Overview
 
+<Note>
+Call recording storage is now access-controlled. If your integration fetches recordings, logs, PCAP, or video directly, migrate to the authenticated endpoints below to avoid disruption.
+
+Some private storage URLs contain `hipaa-recordings` in the path. That's an internal naming detail, it doesn't mean HIPAA applies to your account.
+</Note>
+
 Call recordings and logs are stored in a private bucket. These URLs aren't directly downloadable.
 
 To retrieve a recording or log file, call the Vapi API with your **Private API Key**. The API responds with a `302` redirect to a short-lived, authenticated download URL.
