- Chatbot Configuration Data: Information you provide to build and configure your chatbots, such as knowledge base documents (text, PDFs, URLs), integration credentials (e.g., API keys for third-party services), and conversation flow designs.
- Communications: If you contact us directly (e.g., for support or inquiries), we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide.

This data is used to operate the chatbot, provide analytics to you (our customer), and improve our Services. You are responsible for informing your end-users about this data collection as per your own privacy policies.
c. Information from Third-Party Services:
If you choose to connect third-party services (e.g., CRM, helpdesk, databases) to your SiteAgent chatbots, we may receive information from these services as configured by you. We only collect information necessary to facilitate these integrations as directed by you.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for various purposes, including to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain our Services;

3. How We Share Your Information
We may share your information in the following situations:
- With Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples include: payment processing (e.g., Stripe), data storage and hosting (e.g., Supabase, Vercel), analytics, and customer support tools. These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.

- To Protect Rights and Property: We may disclose your information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
4. Data Storage, Security, and Retention
We implement a variety of security measures designed to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. We use services like Supabase which provide robust security features for data at rest and in transit. However, no electronic transmission or storage of information can be entirely secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
Data you provide for chatbot training and conversation logs related to your chatbots are retained as per your subscription terms and can be managed or deleted by you through the Service, subject to system backups and archival processes.
