5. Data Sharing and Third-Party Service Providers

To deliver our AI-powered voice and chat agent services, we work with carefully selected third-party service providers across several categories. Data shared with these providers is limited to what is strictly necessary for service operation and is governed by data processing agreements (DPAs).

Meta Platforms and WhatsApp. We use Meta's WhatsApp Business API infrastructure to enable messaging between End Users and AI agents. Data shared includes messages, phone numbers, and message metadata as required by the platform.

AI and Large Language Model Providers. Conversation content is processed in real-time by large language model providers (e.g., OpenAI GPT-5.2, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral AI, Cohere) to power our conversational AI agents. All processing is subject to provider-specific data processing agreements and no provider retains conversation data beyond the processing session.

Speech-to-Text (STT) Services. Audio from voice interactions is processed by speech recognition providers (e.g., Deepgram, Google Cloud Speech-to-Text, AssemblyAI, Microsoft Azure Speech Services, Amazon Transcribe) to generate real-time transcriptions. Audio data is transmitted securely and is not stored by providers beyond the processing session.

Text-to-Speech (TTS) Services. AI-generated text responses are converted to natural speech using voice synthesis providers (e.g., ElevenLabs, Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, Amazon Polly, Microsoft Azure Speech Services, PlayHT, Cartesia AI, LMNT) to deliver a human-like voice experience.

Cloud Infrastructure and Hosting. All data is hosted on secure, enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit. We use a combination of global and regional providers (e.g., Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vercel) to ensure reliability, performance, and data residency compliance.

Telecommunications and Voice Infrastructure. Voice calls are routed through licensed telecommunications providers, including both global carriers (e.g., Telnyx, Twilio, Vonage) and local Turkish operators (e.g., Netgsm, Turkcell, Superonline), to ensure high-quality connectivity and local number availability.

Data Storage and Retrieval. We use industry-standard database and caching technologies (e.g., PostgreSQL, Redis, Pinecone, Weaviate) for secure data storage, session management, and AI knowledge retrieval. All stored data is encrypted and subject to tenant isolation.

Analytics and Monitoring. Aggregated and anonymized data is processed through analytics tools (e.g., Metabase, Google Analytics, Sentry) to power Client dashboards, monitor platform health, and improve service quality. No personally identifiable End User data is shared with analytics providers.

Business Clients. We share analytics, conversation summaries, and dashboard data with our business Clients who deploy AI agents through our platform. Clients are the data controllers for their End Users' interactions.

We do not sell personal data to third parties. The specific providers we engage may change over time as we optimize our technology stack, but all providers are subject to equivalent data protection standards and contractual safeguards.

6. International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers are located outside of Turkey and the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States, Canada, and other jurisdictions. When personal data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
• Data Processing Agreements with all sub-processors
• Compliance with Turkish KVKK requirements for cross-border data transfers
• Encryption of data in transit and at rest

Where possible, we prioritize data processing within Turkey and the European Union to minimize cross-border transfers.

7. Data Retention

Clients may request earlier deletion of their End Users' data at any time.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including:

• Encryption at rest and in transit (TLS 1.2+)
• Tenant isolation: each Client's data is logically separated and cannot be accessed by other Clients
• Access controls and role-based permissions
• Regular security assessments
• Secure API authentication for all integrations
• Automated threat detection and monitoring

9. Your Rights

Under applicable data protection laws (including GDPR and Turkish KVKK Law No. 6698), you have the following rights:

• Right of Access: Request a copy of your personal data
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data
• Right to Restriction: Request limitation of data processing
• Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Right to Object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw at any time
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: File a complaint with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK) or your local supervisory authority

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address provided in Section 12.
