Privacy Policy

TAATIQ Technology Inc.  ·  Last Updated: March 2026

1. Scope and Who This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to all personal data processed by TAATIQ Technology Inc. ("TAATIQ," "we," "our," or "us") in connection with:

  • The TAATIQ website and all associated subdomains (collectively, the "Site")
  • The TAATIQ AI intelligent agent platform, APIs, and related software ("Platform")
  • Demonstrations, trials, and proof-of-concept engagements
  • Sales, marketing, and support communications
  • Any other context in which TAATIQ collects personal data

This Policy applies to:

  • Prospective and current enterprise clients and their authorized users
  • End customers whose interactions are handled by TAATIQ-powered agents on behalf of our clients
  • Website visitors
  • Job applicants
  • Partners and vendors

This Policy does not apply to data processed by our enterprise clients using the TAATIQ Platform on their own customers' behalf, where the client is the data controller and TAATIQ acts as a data processor as well as TAATIQ suppliers and partners. In those contexts, the relevant client, supplier and/or partner's privacy policy governs. Clients' data processing obligations are addressed in separate Data Processing Agreements (DPAs).

2. Who We Are – Data Controller Details

TAATIQ is the data controller responsible for the personal data processed through the Site and in connection with our direct marketing, sales, and recruitment activities.

Where TAATIQ processes personal data on behalf of an enterprise client (e.g., processing end-customer interactions through the Platform), TAATIQ acts as a data processor under instructions from the client as data controller.

3. Information We Collect

We collect personal data in three principal ways: information you provide to us directly, information generated automatically when you use our Site or Platform, and information we receive from third parties.

  • Usage data: pages visited, features accessed, session duration, clickstream data
  • Location data: approximate geographic location derived from IP address

3.4 Special Categories of Data

TAATIQ does not intentionally collect special category data (health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, biometric data, etc.). If our Platform is deployed in a context where such data may be incidentally disclosed (e.g., a healthcare client's customers), this is governed by the applicable DPA and the client's data controller obligations.

4. How and Why We Use Your Information

We use personal data only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. The table below sets out each purpose, the categories of data involved, and the legal basis relied upon.

5. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR / UK GDPR)

For individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we are required to identify a valid legal basis for each processing activity. We rely on the following bases:

5.1 Contract Performance (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR)

Processing necessary to enter or perform a contract with you – including operating the Platform, managing accounts, and providing support.

5.2 Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR)

Processing required to comply with applicable laws, including tax and accounting obligations, anti-money-laundering requirements, and regulatory obligations.

5.3 Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR)

Processing where we have a legitimate business interest that is not overridden by your rights and interests. This includes Platform security, fraud prevention, service improvement, and B2B marketing to existing or prospective clients. We conduct Legitimate Interests Assessments (LIAs) for all processing relying on this basis.

5.4 Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR)

Where you have freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent – including for non-essential cookies and direct marketing to individuals. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

You can manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time via our Cookie Preference Centre, accessible from the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent does not affect prior lawful processing.

7. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share data only in the following circumstances, and only with parties who are contractually required to protect it:

7.1 Service Providers and Sub-processors

We engage carefully vetted third-party vendors to support our operations. These include:

  • Cloud infrastructure providers (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure)
  • CRM and sales tools (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce)
  • Communication platforms (e.g., Twilio, SendGrid)
  • Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics, Segment)
  • Payment processors (e.g., Stripe)
  • Customer support platforms (e.g., Intercom, Zendesk)

All sub-processors are bound by Data Processing Agreements that restrict use of your data to our documented instructions.

7.2 Enterprise Clients

Where TAATIQ acts as a data processor for an enterprise client, we share relevant interaction data with that client as required to deliver the contracted service. This is governed by the applicable DPA.

7.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of our business, personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify affected individuals before their data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

7.4 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure

We may disclose personal data where required by law, court order, regulatory authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of TAATIQ, our clients, or the public. We will notify you of such requests where legally permitted to do so.

7.5 With Your Consent

We may share data for purposes not listed here with your explicit prior consent.

8. International Data Transfers

TAATIQ operates globally. Personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction.

Where we transfer personal data originating from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to countries not recognized as providing adequate protection, we rely on the following safeguards:

  • European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) – Module 2 (Controller to Processor) and Module 3 (Processor to Processor) as applicable
  • UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) for UK-originating transfers
  • Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) where applicable and approved
  • Adequacy decisions recognized by the relevant authority

A copy of our current transfer mechanisms is available upon request at privacy@taatiq.ai.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements.

At the end of the applicable retention period, data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymized. Backup copies are purged within 30 days of the primary deletion schedule.

10. Security of Your Information

We implement a layered security programme proportionate to the risks associated with processing personal data in an enterprise AI environment. Our measures include:

Technical Controls

  • AES-256 encryption for data at rest; TLS 1.2+ for data in transit
  • Role-based access controls (RBAC) with least-privilege principles
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) mandatory for all system access
  • Continuous penetration testing and vulnerability scanning
  • Intrusion detection and security information and event management (SIEM)
  • Automatic session expiry and anomaly-based access monitoring

Operational Controls

  • Annual third-party security audits (SOC 2 Type II in progress)
  • Data processing agreements with all sub-processors
  • Background screening for employees with access to personal data
  • Security awareness training for all staff – mandatory, annual
  • Documented incident response plan with defined SLAs

Incident Response

In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach (where required by applicable law), and affected individuals without undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms.

11. Your Rights and How to Exercise Them

How to Submit a Request

Submit data rights requests by emailing privacy@taatiq.ai with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request" and sufficient information for us to verify your identity. We will respond within 30 days (EEA/UK: one calendar month). Where we cannot fulfil a request, we will explain why.

You will never be charged a fee for exercising your rights unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee or decline – and will explain our reasoning in writing.

12. AI-Specific Processing Disclosures

Given the nature of the TAATIQ AI Platform, we are committed to transparency about how AI systems interact with personal data. This section supplements the standard privacy disclosures above.

12.1 Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

TAATIQ AI agents engage in automated processing to understand customer intent and determine appropriate responses. This constitutes automated processing under applicable privacy law. Where such processing produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals, we ensure that:

  • Individuals are informed that automated processing is occurring
  • A human review option is available upon request
  • Meaningful information about the logic involved is provided on request

In practice, most TAATIQ interactions are operational in nature (answering queries, booking appointments) and do not produce significant legal effects.

12.2 AI Model Training

TAATIQ AI does not use personal data from client deployments to train, fine-tune, or improve our underlying AI models without explicit written consent from the data controller and, where required by law, the affected individuals. Any model training using client interaction data is governed by specific contractual provisions in the applicable DPA.

12.3 Voice and Conversation Data

Where the Platform processes voice interactions:

  • Call recording and transcription may occur – end customers are informed via a disclosure message at the start of the interaction
  • Voice recordings are retained for the period specified in the client's DPA (default: 90 days)
  • Transcripts may be shared with the client for quality and service purposes
  • Biometric voice data is not extracted or stored for identification purposes

12.4 Conversational Data and Contextual Intelligence

Conversation histories may be processed to maintain context within a single session and, where configured by the client, across sessions to deliver a more personalized experience. Cross-session data processing is disclosed to end customers by the relevant client under their own privacy obligations.

TAATIQ is committed to responsible AI practices aligned with emerging regulatory frameworks including the EU AI Act, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and applicable sectoral guidelines.

13. Children's Privacy

The TAATIQ Platform and website are designed for and directed exclusively to business professionals and enterprise users. We do not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 18 (or the applicable age of digital consent in their jurisdiction).

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a minor, we will delete it promptly. If you believe we may hold data relating to a child, please contact info@taatiq.com immediately.

14. Third-Party Links and Integrations

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, and our Platform integrates with third-party enterprise systems. Once you leave our Site or interact with third-party services, this Policy no longer applies.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third parties you interact with. Our enterprise integration partners are listed in our current sub-processor registry, available at info@taatiq.com.

15. Changes to This Policy

We review and update this Policy at least annually, and whenever there are material changes to our processing activities, applicable law, or regulatory guidance. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document reflects the most recent revision.

For material changes that affect your rights or how we process your data, we will provide notice by:

  • Prominently posting the updated Policy on our Site
  • Sending an email notification to active users and clients
  • Where required by law, obtaining fresh consent before processing under the new terms

Your continued use of our Site or Platform after the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the changes. Where changes require your consent, we will seek it explicitly.

16. How to Contact Us

We welcome questions, concerns, and feedback about this Policy and our data practices. We aim to respond to all enquiries within 5 business days.
