1. What Information Do We Collect?

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

• Connect your contact, email, or calendar platforms.
  
• Engage with us via SMS, WhatsApp, mobile apps, or web tools.

We also collect limited data from public databases, marketing partners, social media platforms, and other sources to help enrich your contact data, only in ways permitted by law.

2. How Do We Process Your Information?

We process your information to:

• Improve the Services through anonymized analytics (with the option to opt out).
• Secure and operate the Services.

We rely on your consent, contractual necessity, legal obligations, or legitimate interests as the lawful bases for processing.

3. AI Use and Third-Party Providers

• We never use identifiable personal data to train external models.
  
• You can opt out of anonymized AI training and continue using the Services in full.

4. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

We use industry-standard practices including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits. While we take every precaution, no system is 100% secure, so transmission of your data is at your own risk.
