When you use our AI Receptionist service, call recordings and transcripts may be processed to provide the service.

Callers are informed at the beginning of each call that they are interacting with an AI system.

Our AI Chatbot processes conversation data (messages, timestamps, page context) to provide automated responses. Chat data is used to improve chatbot accuracy and may be reviewed for quality assurance. No biometric data is collected. Users interacting with the chatbot are clearly informed they are communicating with an AI.

5.3 Automated Decision-Making

You have the right to request human intervention for any decision that affects you, as outlined in GDPR Art. 22.
