Privacy Policy
We clearly define our roles as a Technology Provider and your rights over the data we process.
Last updated: January 26, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Kharyo AI ("we", "our", or "Technology Provider") collects, uses, and protects information in connection with our automation and artificial intelligence services, including integration with the WhatsApp Business API.
Role Definitions (Dual Role)
We operate under a dual-role structure depending on the type of data being processed:
Role 1: Controller (Data Controller)
Regarding your Registration Data (admin email, billing). We decide how to process this data to manage your account.
Role 2: Processor (Data Processor)
Regarding Customer Content (WhatsApp messages, your users' banking data). We act as a simple technological "pipeline". We do not own this data nor determine its purpose.
1. WhatsApp Technology Provider
Kharyo AI operates as a Business Solution Provider (BSP) or Tech Provider that facilitates access to the WhatsApp Cloud API by Meta Platforms, Inc. ("Meta").
- By using our services, you acknowledge that messages are processed through Meta's infrastructure.
- Commerce Policy: The use of our agents is subject to the WhatsApp Commerce Policy.
- Encryption: Kharyo AI does not have access to end-to-end encrypted (E2E) messages outside the active bot session. We do not store chat history beyond what is necessary for conversational context (Short-Term Memory).
2. Data Collection
We collect the following information necessary for service delivery:
- Account Data: Name, email, billing, and access credentials. (Controller: Kharyo AI)
- Operation Data: Message logs, phone numbers, profile names, and multimedia content transmitted through the API. (Processor: Kharyo AI, Controller: Client)
- AI Metadata: Conversation histories and generated contexts used to maintain the "memory" of virtual assistants.
- Señales antifraude de pagos: Cuando pagas con Stripe, Stripe y Kharyo pueden recopilar dirección de facturación, teléfono, IP, identificadores de dispositivo/navegador y señales de riesgo para autenticar pagos, prevenir fraude y mitigar chargebacks.
3. Collection via Android Listener
For reconciliation services, Kharyo AI collects financial data through the Android Listener application installed on the user's device.
Technical Liability Limitation: We are not responsible for data collection failures caused by factors external to the software, including but not limited to:
- (a) Battery failure or mobile device shutdown.
- (b) Loss of internet connection or unstable signal.
- (c) Android OS restrictions (battery-saving modes) that stop the background process.
4. Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision
We use third-party language models (LLMs) and Computer Vision to process text and images.
Image Processing (Vision AI): Uploaded images (payment receipts) are processed exclusively for metadata extraction (amount, reference, date). These images are stored encrypted for user audit purposes and deleted/anonymized after the configured retention period. We do not use these receipts to train public models.
AI Privacy Commitment
Your data is NOT used to train public models. Kharyo AI configures its AI provider integrations under "Zero Retention" training policies. Your conversations and knowledge bases are private and isolated from other clients.
5. Security and Retention
We implement enterprise-grade security measures:
- Encryption: All data in transit is encrypted via TLS 1.3. Data at rest (knowledge bases) is encrypted (AES-256).
- Isolation: Each tenant's (client's) information is logically separated.
- Retention: We retain conversation logs for the duration configured in your plan (default 30 days) for audit and debugging purposes, after which they may be deleted or anonymized.
6. Sharing Information with Sub-processors
To provide the service, we share strictly necessary data with the following sub-processors:
- Meta Platforms, Inc: WhatsApp API provider.
- AI Providers (LLMs): OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (Gemini), Vapi.
- Infrastructure: AWS and Vercel (Serverless hosting).
Note: Data sent to these providers through our Enterprise/Paid integrations is ephemeral and is not used to train their base models.
7. Your Rights (ARCO)
As the data subject or Data Controller, you have the right to Access, Rectify, Cancel, or Object to the processing of your data. You may request a full export of your data or the permanent deletion of your instance by contacting [email protected].
8. Non-Banking Data Notice
The information displayed on the dashboard reflects received notifications (SMS/App) and may differ from the actual bank balance if the bank delays sending notifications. The final validation of fund availability is the sole responsibility of the user.
9. Use of Google Data
Kharyo's use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy.
