Compliance & Privacy
Built for GDPR and designed with privacy in mind.
We design our platform with privacy and compliance at the foundation. Whether you're in the EU or anywhere else, we respect your data rights and follow strict data protection principles.
GDPR Compliance
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Europe's data protection law, but we apply its principles globally. GDPR gives you control over your data and requires us to be transparent about what we collect and why.
What Data We Collect
We only collect what's necessary to provide the AI chatbot service:
Account Information
- Your name
- Email address
- Organization/company name
- Login credentials (securely stored)
Content You Upload
- Documents and files you upload
- Chatbot configurations
- Custom instructions
- Knowledge base content
Usage Information
- Number of queries made
- Response times (for performance)
- Error logs (system-level only)
- Login activity
Billing Information
- Subscription plan details
- Payment method (via Stripe)
- Billing address
- Invoice history
How We Use Your Data
We process your data only for these specific purposes:
- To Power Your Chatbot: Your uploaded files are used to train your specific AI assistant to answer questions based on your content.
- To Manage Your Account: We use your email and name to identify you and communicate important service updates.
- To Process Payments: Your billing information is used to charge your subscription (handled securely by Stripe).
- To Improve Service Quality: We track system performance (not content) to fix bugs and improve speed.
- To Provide Support: If you contact us for help, we use your information to assist you.

Data Minimization
We follow the principle of data minimization: collect only what's needed, keep it only as long as necessary.
How Long We Keep Data:
- Account Data: Kept as long as your account is active. Deleted within 30 days of account closure.
- Uploaded Files: Kept until you delete them or close your account.
- System Logs: Automatically purged after 90 days (we keep only what's needed for debugging).
- Billing Records: Kept for 7 years for tax/legal compliance, then permanently deleted.
- Backups: Encrypted backups are kept for 30 days for disaster recovery, then automatically deleted.

International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers (like AWS and Google) operate globally. When data moves between regions, we ensure it's protected:
- EU Customers: We can host your data exclusively in EU regions (AWS eu-west-1 Ireland) to meet data residency requirements.
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): We use EU-approved contracts for data transfers outside the EU.
- Encryption Everywhere: All data transfers are encrypted in transit, regardless of location.
