• Make available to the Controller all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in the GDPR and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the Controller or another auditor mandated by the Controller;

• Maintain a record of all categories of processing activities carried out on behalf of a Controller;

• Cooperate, on request, with the supervisory authority in the performance of its tasks;

Legal Basis For Data Collection

Types of Data / Privacy Policy Scope

“Personal Data” means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of Personal Data about you which we have grouped together below. Not all of the following types of data will necessarily be collected from you but this is the full scope of data that we collect and when we collect it from you:

1. Profile/Identity Data: This is data relating to your first name, last name, gender, date of birth.

2. Contact Data: This is data relating to your phone number, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers.

3. Marketing and Communications Data: This is your preferences in receiving marketing information and other information from us.

4. Billing Data: This is information relating to your debit and credit card information such as the name attached to your payment details and your billing address.

5. Financial Data: These are your banking details e.g. your account number and sort code.

6. Transactional Data: This is information of details and records of all payments you have made for our services or products.

7. Technical Data: This is your IP address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to engage with us.

8. Customer Support Data: This includes feedback and survey responses.

9. Usage Data: information about how you use our website, products and services.

10. Conversation data: This is data obtained through attendance on a recorded meeting. Conversation data includes audio and video recordings, transcripts generated from such recordings, and summaries generated from transcripts. This data may include names, emails, phone numbers and any other personal information the participants decide to share during the conversation.

11. Integration data: This information contains data received from 3rd party service provider integrations. This includes but is not limited to names, emails, usernames, meeting titles and descriptions, comments.

12. Application data: This is data entered through the application UI or APIs and it contains team members’ information (names, email addresses, roles) as well as any data entered into the meeting notes whether directly by the user, or through processing of Conversation data.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as how often engineers prepare their agenda, what topics get discussed repeatedly, employee engagement score over time. Aggregated Data could be derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may also aggregate data to enable research or analysis so that we can better understand and serve you and others. For example, we may conduct research on your demographics and usage. Although this aggregated data may be based in part on Personal Data, it does not identify you personally. We may share this type of anonymous data with others, including service providers, our affiliates, agents and current and prospective business partners.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

The Legal Basis for Collecting That Data

There are a number of justifiable reasons under the GDPR that allow collection and processing of Personal Data. The main avenues we rely on are:

• “Consent”: Certain situations allow us to collect your Personal Data, such as when you tick a box that confirms you are happy to receive email newsletters from us, or ‘opt in’ to a service.

• “Contractual Obligations”: We may require certain information from you in order to fulfil our contractual obligations and provide you with the promised service.

• “Legal Compliance”: We’re required by law to collect and process certain types of data, such as fraudulent activity or other illegal actions.

• “Legitimate Interest”: We might need to collect certain information from you to be able to meet our legitimate interests - this covers aspects that can be reasonably expected as part of running our business, that will not have a material impact on your rights, freedom or interests. Examples could be your address, so that we know where to deliver something to, or your name, so that we have a record of who to contact moving forwards.

How We Use Your Personal Data

Our Uses

We will only use your Personal Data when the law allows us to. Set out below is a table containing the different types of Personal Data we collect and the lawful basis for processing that data. Please refer to section 2.2 for more information on the lawful basis listed in the table below.

Examples provided in the table below are indicative in nature and the purposes for which we use your data may be broader than described but we will never process your data without a legal basis for doing so and it is for a related purpose. For further inquiries please contact our Data Protection Officer.

User Consent for AI apps

In order to work with integrations such as Google Calendar, we need to access your data.

We will only access the data that is necessary for the integration to work. And while some of it will be sent to third party AI models (your and participant names, calendar event title, start time, meeting transcripts) to generate responses and meeting notes, it is never shared or disclosed publicly as per our Privacy Policy.

Marketing and Content Updates

You will receive marketing and new content communications from us if you have created an account and chosen to opt into receiving those communications. From time to time we may make suggestions and recommendations to you about goods or services that may be of interest to you.

Change of Purpose

We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact our Data Protection Officer.

If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your Personal Data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

How Does Nyota AI Ltd Protect Customers' Personal Data?

We are concerned with keeping your data secure and protecting it from inappropriate disclosure. We implement a variety of security measures to ensure the security of your Personal Data on our systems, including AES-256 encryption of data at rest. Any Personal Data collected by us is only accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access rights to such systems and are bound by obligations of confidentiality. If and when we use subcontractors to store your data, we will not relinquish control of your Personal Data or expose it to security risks that would not have arisen had the data remained in our possession. However, unfortunately no transmission of data over the internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of Nyota AI Ltd to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your Personal Data, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any Personal Data you transmit to us. Any such transmission is done at your own risk. If you believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us.

Opting Out Of Marketing Promotions

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by clicking unsubscribe in the footer of the email.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, we will continue to retain other Personal Data provided to us as a result of interactions with us not related to your marketing preferences.

How to Request your Data and the Process for Obtaining it

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, if your request is clearly unfounded, we could refuse to comply with your request.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure you have the right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Your Data And Third Parties

Will We Share Your Data With Third Parties?

We may share non-Personal Data with third parties. We may share your Personal Data with subcontractors or affiliates (subject to confidentiality obligations to use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them and pursuant to our instructions).

We may also share Personal Data with interested parties in the event that Nyota AI Ltd anticipates a change in control or the acquisition of all or part of our business or assets or with interested parties in connection with the licensing of our technology.

If Nyota AI Ltd is sold or makes a sale or transfer, we may, in our sole discretion, transfer, sell or assign your Personal Data to a third party as part of or in connection with that transaction. Upon such transfer, the Privacy Policy of the acquiring entity may govern the further use of your Personal Data. In all other situations your data will still remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy (as amended from time to time).

We may share your Personal Data at any time if required for legal reasons or in order to enforce our terms or this Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Links

This Site may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our Site, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

Google APIs

Nyota AI's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

How Long Will We Retain Your Data For?

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, to provide our services, to deal with possible legal claims, to comply with our business interests, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

Thereafter, we either delete Personal Information about you or de-identify it. Please note that even if you request the deletion of Personal Information about you, we may be required (by law or otherwise) to retain the Personal Information and not delete it. However, once those requirements are removed, we will delete Personal Information about you in accordance with your request.

Age Limit For Our Users

You must not use Nyota AI Ltd unless you are aged 18 or older. If you are under 18 and you access Nyota AI Ltd by lying about your age, you must immediately stop using Nyota AI Ltd.

This website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

International Transfer Of Data

Your information may be stored and processed in the US or other countries or jurisdictions outside the US where Nyota AI Ltd has facilities. We are currently storing data in the EU and so, by using Nyota AI Ltd, you are permitting and consenting to the transfer of information, including Personal Data, outside of the US.

Notification Of Changes And Acceptance Of Policy

We keep our Privacy Policy under review and will place any updates on this webpage. This version is dated 15 December 2023. By using Nyota AI Ltd, you consent to the collection and use of data by us as set out in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy might change as we update and expand the Services. We will seek to notify you of these changes by email, but will not be liable for any failure to do so. We also encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued access or use of Nyota AI Ltd will constitute your express acceptance of any modifications to this Privacy Policy.

Interpretation

All uses of the word "including" mean "including but not limited to" and the enumerated examples are not intended to in any way limit the term which they serve to illustrate. Any email addresses set out in this policy may be used solely for the purpose for which they are stated to be provided, and any unrelated correspondence will be ignored. Unless otherwise required by law, we reserve the right to not respond to emails, even if they relate to a legitimate subject matter for which we have provided an email address. As a matter of common sense, you are more likely to get a reply if your request or question is polite, reasonable and there is no relatively obvious other way to deal with or answer your concern or question (e.g. FAQs, other areas of our website etc.).

Our staff are not authorised to contract on behalf of Nyota AI Ltd, waive rights or make representations (whether contractual or otherwise). If anything contained in an email from a Nyota AI Ltd address contradicts anything in this policy, our terms or any official public announcement on our website, or is inconsistent with or amounts to a waiver of any Nyota AI Ltd rights, the email content will be read down to grant precedence to the latter. The only exception to this is genuine correspondence expressed to be from the Nyota AI Ltd legal department.
