1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us when you create an account, fill out forms, or contact us for support. This includes:
• **Account data:** name, email address, phone number, business name, and password (stored as a secure hash).
• **Business profile:** address, category, photos, and social media handles you connect.
• **Usage data:** pages visited, features used, clicks, and session duration, collected automatically via server logs and analytics.
• **Payment data:** billing address and last four digits of your card — full card numbers are processed by Razorpay/Stripe and never stored by us. Accounting sync (invoices, contacts) may be pushed to your own Zoho Books account if you connect it.
• **Third-party integrations:** access tokens for Google Business Profile, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and other platforms you connect — stored encrypted at rest.
• **Customer/end-user data:** names, phone numbers, and emails of your own customers when you use Booking, WhatsApp campaigns, Forms, or the AI Chat/Voice widget — this is your data, processed by us on your behalf as a data processor.
• **AI voice call data:** call audio recordings, transcripts, and phone numbers when you enable an AI Phone Assistant (call recording is on by default and can be disabled per assistant in Channel settings).
• **Chat/WhatsApp conversation data:** messages exchanged with your AI chat widget, WhatsApp, or SMS assistant, including phone numbers and conversation history.
• **E-signature data:** for the Document Sign feature — signer name, email, IP address, timestamp, and the signature image/typed name captured at the moment of signing.
• **Push notification data:** browser push subscription endpoint and encryption keys, if you enable browser notifications.
• **Device/technical data:** IP address, browser/user-agent, and login timestamps, retained for account security and fraud prevention.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
• Provide, operate, and improve the Pragaticai platform.
• Generate AI-powered content, review replies, and chat/voice responses on your behalf, using AI providers (Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, or a self-hosted Ollama model depending on configuration).
• Record and transcribe AI phone assistant calls for quality, training, and dispute-resolution purposes, where enabled.
• Send transactional emails (receipts, password resets, security alerts, booking confirmations) and SMS/WhatsApp messages you or your customers opt into.
• Send product updates and marketing emails — you can unsubscribe at any time.
• Detect fraud, abuse, and security threats (login attempt logging, MFA).
• Sync accounting records to your connected Zoho Books account, if enabled.
• Comply with legal obligations under Indian law (IT Act 2000, DPDP Act 2023) and, where applicable, GDPR.
3. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:
• **Service providers (sub-processors)** we use to operate the platform: cloud hosting, MySQL/Redis infrastructure, email delivery (Brevo/SendGrid), SMS/WhatsApp (Twilio, Meta), AI voice calling and transcription (Vapi, Deepgram, 11Labs), AI content generation (Google Gemini, Anthropic), payment processing (Razorpay, Stripe), and accounting sync (Zoho Books) — each bound by their own data processing terms. See the full sub-processor list on our GDPR & Data Rights page (/gdpr).
• **Third-party platforms you connect** (Google, Meta, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, etc.) — only the data required for the integration you authorised.
• **Law enforcement** when required by a valid legal order.
• **Successors** in the event of a merger or acquisition, with prior notice to you.
4. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account:
• Personal profile data is deleted within 30 days.
• Aggregated, anonymised analytics may be retained indefinitely.
• Backups are purged within 90 days of deletion.
• Tax and billing records are retained for 7 years as required by Indian law.
5. Cookies & Tracking
We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and secure, and analytics cookies (privacy-respecting, no cross-site tracking) to understand how the product is used. See our full Cookie Policy (/cookies) for the list of cookies and how to control them. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings without affecting core functionality.
6. Call Recording & E-Signature Notice
If you activate an AI Phone Assistant, calls to/from that number may be recorded and transcribed; where required by law, callers are informed via the assistant's greeting that the call may be recorded. Documents signed via our Document Sign feature use an electronic signature (name/drawn signature + IP address + timestamp), which is legally recognised under Section 5 of India's Information Technology Act 2000. You are responsible for ensuring your own use of these features complies with local consent-to-record and e-signature laws.
7. Your Rights
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and GDPR (for EU residents), you have the right to:
• Access a copy of your personal data.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Data portability — export your data in JSON/CSV format from Settings → Account.
Full details and response timelines are on our GDPR & Data Rights page (/gdpr). For account/data deletion instructions (including Facebook/Instagram-connected data), see our Data Deletion page (/data-deletion). To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@localedge.ai.
8. Security
We use industry-standard security measures including TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, regular penetration testing, and SOC 2-aligned controls. We offer two-factor authentication (TOTP) and log all login activity. In the event of a breach affecting your data we will notify you within 72 hours.
9. Children's Privacy
Pragaticai is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us data, please contact us immediately.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you by email and via an in-app banner at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
