This privacy policy tells you about how we look after your personal data when you visit our website or otherwise work or communicate with us and it tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

1. Important information and who we are

1.1 Purpose of this privacy policy

This privacy policy aims to give you information on how Y10.ai collects and processes your personal data through your use of our website, our Y10.ai services or otherwise when you communicate or interact with us in the course of business.

1.2 Controller

If you are a registered customer of Y10.ai, we act as the 'data controller' of personal data about you and your use of Y10.ai, but as the 'data processor' of personal data in the information you submit to Y10.ai to use Y10.ai's product and services (like information about your calendar, emails, email accounts and so on). If we are the data processor of your personal data (i.e., not the data controller), please contact the controller party in the first instance to address your rights with respect to such data.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights referred to below, please contact us using the details set out below.

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).

5. Data shared with third-party AI models

5.1 Data Shared with AI Models

In order to provide categorization and draft reply functionalities and analyze and transcribe audio recordings generated from audio and video conferences our service employs machine learning models using third party AI models. We require our AI service providers to use your information only for the purpose of providing our Service. We do not allow those providers to train their AI models using your data.

The following data types may be shared with these AI models:

• Email Content and Data: Subject lines, email body text, sender and recipient information.
• Calendar Data: Event titles, dates, and times.
• Audio Recording Data: conversation participants, dates, times, the content of audio recordings generated by Users which may contain personal data, including personal information of third parties. Before providing Y10.ai with Audio Recording Data please confirm you have the secured the necessary permissions or consents from those third parties before sharing such personal data with Y10.ai or referring them to us.

This data is processed for the sole purpose of delivering the services described and is not used for any other functions within the AI models.

5.2 User Consent for Data Sharing with AI Models

Before sharing any of your data with our AI models, we seek explicit user consent. Upon initial setup or significant changes to this privacy policy, a prompt will appear within the app requiring users to consent to data sharing for AI processing.

5.3 Third Party Data Retention

We have a Zero Data Retention agreement with our AI service provider in which our provider does not store customer API data on their servers.

6. Disclosures of your personal data

We will need to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in paragraph 4 above:

• Our service providers acting as processors who may be based in the US or elsewhere outside the EEA and who provide us with account management, IT support, IT backup, data storage, email management, system administration, and language model services.
• Analytics and advertising service providers which may have servers based in the US for the purpose of analyzing user behavior.
• Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

7. International transfers

A number of our account managers and other IT service companies processing your personal data on our behalf are based in the US or elsewhere outside the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that either:

• We have a specific contract with that processor in a form approved by the European Commission which ensures that service provider gives your personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or
• If the provider is based in the US, it is a member of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

8. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

9. How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data (see below for further information).

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

10. Your legal rights

You have the right in certain circumstances to:

• Request access to your personal data (a "data subject access request").
• Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you.
• Request erasure of your personal data.
• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Request restriction of processing of your personal data.
• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your 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.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
