Privacy Notice

Last updated May 10, 2026

This is the privacy notice ("Privacy Notice") for Ryndeskai. It explains how we collect and use information through use of (i) our AI phone receptionist, Emma, to answer calls and set appointments (the "AI Receptionist"); (ii) a Subscriber dashboard, software and applications integrated with a Subscriber's existing systems (collectively, the "Application"); and (iii) ryndesk.ai and other websites or online channels we own or operate (collectively, the "Site") (altogether, with the Site and Application, the "Services"). Any use of our Services is subject to this Privacy Notice and our Terms of Service, including its applicable limitations on damages and the provisions regarding resolution of disputes.

Please read this Privacy Notice carefully to understand how we collect and use personal information. We may provide additional notices about our privacy practices, each of which will be considered to form part of this Privacy Notice. YOU CONSENT TO OUR PRIVACY PRACTICES BY INDICATING YOUR CONSENT WHERE THE OPTION IS MADE AVAILABLE OR USING OUR SERVICES IN ANY MANNER. If you do not agree with this Privacy Notice, do not access or use our Services.

This Privacy Notice does not apply to our Subscribers' collection or use of Personal Information through our Services or otherwise. Callers should contact the business they called for privacy support.

Ryndeskai may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. We will notify you about material changes through the Services or by email and will collect your consent to these changes to the extent required by applicable law. Ryndeskai Subscribers and prospective Subscribers may contact us with questions at support@ryndesk.ai.

1SUBSCRIBERS AND CALLERS

This Privacy Notice does not apply to data collected by a third party, including the subscribing businesses and individuals that use an AI Receptionist to answer or make calls or perform other Services on their behalf (our "Subscribers"). Ryndeskai provides the Services to our Subscribers, and each Subscriber determines how it will use the data collected from their Callers and other customers through the Services. Any processing of data by Ryndeskai to train or develop AI technologies is governed by contracts with our Subscribers, not this Privacy Notice.

Ryndeskai Subscribers that use the AI Receptionist may choose to collect and process Personal Information about their Callers or other customers. Each Subscriber is responsible for their own Personal Information collection and storing or processing that data on the Services. This includes AI Receptionist functionality, privacy settings, data management, giving notice and obtaining consent from Callers, and responding to Callers' privacy inquiries. Callers should contact the Subscriber with any questions about their Personal Information on the Services.

2"PERSONAL INFORMATION" DEFINED

As used in this Privacy Notice, "Personal Information" is information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual consumer or device, such as:

  • Identifiers (e.g., name, email, telephone number, address, username);
  • Sensitive Personal Information (e.g., biometrics like voice recordings, precise geolocation, health information, contents of messages when we are not the recipient; in some cases, information about a known child);
  • Legally protected information (e.g., race, citizenship, marital status, sex);
  • Employment-related information (e.g., current or past employment);
  • Commercial information (e.g., products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies);
  • Internet or other similar activity (e.g., browsing history; content interactions); and
  • Inferences drawn from Personal Information to create a profile about preferences, characteristics, trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, and aptitudes.

Note that information may not be protected by privacy laws if it is: (i) publicly available; (ii) aggregated, meaning data about a group or category of services or Callers from which individual identities and other Personal Information has been removed; or (iii) deidentified so that it cannot be easily linked back to the individual.

3RYNDESKAI'S COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Ryndeskai will only collect, use, retain, and disclose Personal Information as described in this section, and only as reasonably necessary and proportionate to provide the Services or for other purposes stated in this Privacy Notice or at the time of collection.

Ryndeskai collects identifiers, commercial history, internet and similar activity from Callers and Subscribers, as well as sensitive information or other categories of Personal Information that a Caller chooses to include in their call. We collect this information with consent, with a legitimate interest, or as authorized or required by law.

A. Collected from our Subscribers. Ryndeskai collects and uses Personal Information from our Subscribers with their consent and as instructed by the Subscriber.

  • When a Subscriber registers to use our Services, we collect information about their business, like name, email, phone, and other identifiers to create and facilitate their account and use of the Services. Ryndeskai also collects any information a Subscriber submits to the Services, such as account profile information, employee identifiers, and any Personal Information included in communications with us related to the Subscriber's use of our Services.
  • Subscribers authorize Ryndeskai to collect data from the Subscriber's website, online reviews, and other data sources to train the Subscriber's AI Receptionist.
  • A Subscriber may also choose to link the Services with the Subscriber's customer relationship management software ("CRM"), calendars, or other software. If so, Ryndeskai will access this information to provide enhanced Services as requested by the Subscriber.
  • The Subscriber is solely responsible for ensuring the Subscriber is authorized to share Personal Information with Ryndeskai for any purpose.
  • We will also collect data related to Services purchased and transaction history on the Services associated with the Subscriber's account.
  • Subscribers may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from Ryndeskai at any time. If a Subscriber chooses to opt-out, Ryndeskai may continue to send the Subscriber product and support messages to keep them updated on the Services they receive.

Ryndeskai reserves the right to refuse Subscriber instructions to collect or process Personal Information about another individual without their consent or in a manner or for a purpose that Ryndeskai determines violates others' privacy or publicity rights, or otherwise violates our Terms of Service, and such instructions may result in termination of Services at our option. Ryndeskai is not responsible for the privacy practices of any of our Subscribers or any third party.

B. Collected from Callers on behalf of a Subscriber. Our AI Receptionist collects Personal Information from Callers on behalf of our Subscribers.

  • Callers may include Personal Information in their conversations with a Subscriber's AI Receptionist. The AI Receptionist will use the information to generate the Caller's requested information or other outputs. Callers consent to this processing by submitting their Personal Information to the AI Receptionist.
  • For example, a Caller may submit their contact information or other identifiers and the contents of the Caller's message to the Subscriber they are contacting. If a Caller requests to set an appointment with a Subscriber, the Services will schedule the appointment on the Subscriber's system. If the Subscriber uses text or email reminders, the Services will process the Caller's Personal Information to generate and send those appointment reminders to the Caller.
  • If the Subscriber uses our SMS Features, Ryndeskai will offer to send Callers SMS messages as instructed by the Subscriber's selections — for example, a booking confirmation link, directions to the Subscriber's business location, or other information the Subscriber opts to make available to Callers via SMS. Ryndeskai only sends SMS messages with the Caller's consent and in accordance with the Subscriber's account settings. Callers who consent to receive an SMS message will not be added to a marketing campaign list.
  • The AI Receptionist technology collects and analyzes the Caller's voice to understand and process the Caller's request and to detect when different responses or human intervention may be necessary to complete their call.
  • Ryndeskai processes this information as a service provider to our Subscribers and we use it as instructed by the Subscriber through our contract with them or as permitted by law. Subscriber is responsible for giving Callers notice and obtaining any legally necessary consent for Ryndeskai's access to the Caller's interactions and any processing of the Caller's Personal Information by Ryndeskai.
  • When a Caller interacts with an AI Receptionist, Ryndeskai will collect and record any information, including Personal Information, that the Caller chooses to share. A CALLER'S INTERACTIONS WITH AN AI RECEPTIONIST MAY BE ACCESSIBLE TO RYNDESKAI OR OUR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS SIMULTANEOUSLY AND IN REAL TIME. By interacting with an AI Receptionist, Callers consent to this access by Ryndeskai and our service providers. If a Caller does not consent to such access, they should not interact with the AI Receptionist.
  • Ryndeskai may also use the data provided to an AI Receptionist for our legitimate interest in training and improving our Services or for analytics and statistical purposes.

C. Call Recordings and Transcripts. The Services generate call recordings and transcripts of conversations.

  • Calls with the AI Receptionist are recorded for quality assurance, to improve the Services, and for other internal business purposes. Call recordings are used to generate transcripts of conversations and support our Subscribers' use of our Services.
  • Call recordings and transcripts are necessary for our Services to function. For example, Ryndeskai's technology may use a recording of the call to set the Caller's appointment and send appointment reminders through the Subscriber's CRM or other software.
  • Deidentified data from call recordings and transcripts may be used to understand how Callers interact with the AI Receptionist, train our AI technology, or to improve the Services.
  • The Subscriber may configure the AI Receptionist to notify you that a call is being recorded. By staying on the line after receiving the notification, you consent to the call recording. If you do not consent, you may end the call or ask not to be recorded.
  • The Subscriber is solely responsible for providing Callers with notice and obtaining their consent for call recordings and transcripts in compliance with applicable law.
  • Call recordings, transcripts, and other data from calls belong to the Subscriber, not Ryndeskai. Each Subscriber determines how data is used and how long it is retained. Please contact the Subscriber you called if you have questions about call recordings.

D. Ryndeskai Does Not Process Payments. Ryndeskai never collects, stores, or processes payment card information. We always use a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor to collect, process, and store payment information, subject to the payment processor's policies and terms. Ryndeskai is not a payment processor and does not store payment information or process payments or receive, transmit, or otherwise handle any funds as part of the Services.

E. About Children's Privacy. The Services are designed for use by adults, not children. Each Subscriber is responsible for using the Services in a manner that prevents children from providing their Personal Information. If we discover that a child under 16 has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete their information from our systems. If you believe we might have any information collected online from a child under 16, please contact us at support@ryndesk.ai.

F. Your Communications with Ryndeskai. If you contact Ryndeskai as a potential new Subscriber, Site visitor, or for any other reason, we will collect Personal Information from you to respond to your inquiry. We collect this information with your consent, and we use it for the purposes stated at the time of collection, to provide you with our Services, and to communicate with you or send you direct marketing communications.

G. When you visit the Site or use our Application. Ryndeskai may automatically collect technical data, which may include some Personal Information, from your visit to the Site or other uses of our Services:

  • Device information (e.g., IP address, operating system, browser type, device ID, mobile network information, caller ID)
  • Usage details (e.g., traffic data, search queries, content interactions) and stored information (e.g., metadata)
  • Data collected from cookies and other technologies to track use of our Site. Ryndeskai uses analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Site, and marketing cookies to analyze and deliver marketing content across platforms. You can block or adjust how cookies interact with your device by changing your browser settings or by installing a third-party plugin.

Ryndeskai collects this information to achieve our legitimate interest of providing and improving our Services. We may also use this information to deliver targeted advertising.

In addition to the specific uses described above, Ryndeskai may use Personal Information to (i) provide, administer, maintain, improve, or analyze the Services; (ii) communicate with Subscribers or others; (iii) develop new Services, products, or features; (iv) prevent fraud, criminal activity, or misuse of the Services, and protect the security of our information systems, architecture, and networks; (v) comply with legal obligations or protect our rights and the rights of others; or (vi) support or carry out a business transition or transfer.

4DISCLOSING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Ryndeskai discloses Personal Information to certain third parties to achieve our business purposes as described below, with your permission, or as required by law. In the preceding 12 months, we have disclosed Personal Information from all categories of collection to one or more of the following recipients:

  • Our Subscribers. Personal Information that Ryndeskai collects as a service provider to our Subscribers belongs to the Subscriber and is made available to our Subscribers to process and use according to their own privacy practices. Ryndeskai does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices of our Subscribers or third parties. Callers should contact the Subscriber they called with any questions about the Subscriber's privacy practices.
  • Our Service Providers. Ryndeskai uses a variety of service providers such as data storage providers, analytics services, and email services. Our service providers are subject to contractual agreements that protect your Personal Information, and we require all service providers to maintain confidentiality standards that are commercially reasonable to ensure the security of your Personal Information.
  • Law enforcement and other governmental agencies, as permitted or required by law.
  • Other third parties, as permitted by applicable law — for example: if we go through a business transition (e.g., merger, acquisition, or sale of a portion of our assets); to comply with a legal requirement or a court order; when we believe it is appropriate in order to take action regarding illegal activities or prevent fraud or harm to any person; to exercise or defend our legal claims; or with your consent.

Ryndeskai does not sell Personal Information. Ryndeskai does not disclose Caller Personal Information to third parties in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and does not share Caller Personal Information with third parties for cross-platform marketing purposes.

Aggregated and Deidentified Information. Ryndeskai may de-identify or aggregate any Personal Information or other data input to or collected through the Services. De-identified and aggregated data is not Personal Information, and we will not attempt to reidentify it with any consumer except as required by law. We may use this data to analyze the effectiveness of the Services or to improve the Services, such as to train our AI models, improve or add features, or for research or related purposes.

5RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

As a service provider to our Subscribers, Ryndeskai retains Personal Information about Callers until the Subscriber deletes it or instructs us to do so. Subscriber account information is retained while the account is active. We delete Subscriber account data 30 days after the Subscriber's subscription is cancelled. Subscribers may retain Personal Information collected through the Services for different retention periods, subject to the Subscriber's privacy practices.

Personal Information on our marketing lists is retained until you opt out or we determine that the information no longer serves our business purposes. Other types of data are retained and disposed of according to our company policies. Ryndeskai may retain Personal Information for longer if we feel it is necessary for legal or regulatory purposes.

When we no longer have a business need for your Personal Information, we will either delete, de-identify, or anonymize it whenever feasible. Where not feasible (such as data in our backup archives) we will securely store it and keep it isolated from further processing until it can be permanently deleted.

6THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The Services may provide access or links to services offered by third parties. Please note that Ryndeskai has no control over third-party websites, apps, devices, or systems, and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your Personal Information to any third party.

8NOTICE OF PRIVACY RIGHTS

Ryndeskai currently offers the Services in the United States. This section lists the privacy rights applicable to individuals under consumer privacy laws in the United States.

If you are a Caller, you must contact the Subscriber you called to exercise your privacy rights related to a conversation you had with an AI Receptionist. The notices in this section are provided to Callers as a courtesy only. The Subscriber you called is ultimately responsible for how it processes your Personal Information and for supporting your exercise of privacy rights.

A. Right to know. Ryndeskai provides the required information for a consumer's right to know in this Privacy Notice. We may provide you with additional notices about other ways we process your Personal Information through the Services or via email. Each Subscriber is separately responsible for providing its Callers with an explanation for the right to know.

B. Right to reasonable expectations. You can expect Ryndeskai to collect, use, or disclose your Personal Information responsibly and not for any purpose other than as stated at the time of collection or described in this Privacy Notice. If we collect or use your Personal Information based on your consent, we will notify you of any changes and request your further consent as required by law. You may withdraw your consent at any time with reasonable notice by contacting support@ryndesk.ai.

C. Right to access your Personal Information. Callers should contact the Subscriber they called to request access to their Personal Information processed via an AI Receptionist. Others may submit a request to Ryndeskai to receive a copy of their Personal Information held by us. We will provide copies upon request where required by law, along with details about the types of Personal Information we process, why we process it, and any third parties we work with to collect Personal Information on our behalf.

D. Right to deletion. Callers should contact the Subscriber they called to request the deletion of their Personal Information. If Ryndeskai collected your Personal Information for our own purposes, upon your request and when required by law, we will delete your Personal Information from our systems. This right is not absolute, and we may be entitled to retain and process your Personal Information despite your request.

E. Right to correct your Personal Information. You can correct or update your Personal Information held by Ryndeskai by updating your account or by contacting support@ryndesk.ai. Please contact the Subscriber you called if you become aware that your Personal Information processed through our Services is not accurate.

F. Right to data portability. In some cases, we are required to provide your Personal Information to another organization at your request and in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format.

G. No selling Personal Information. Ryndeskai does not sell any Personal Information or share Personal Information with third parties for cross-contextual behavioral advertising purposes. Subscribers are free to sell or share Callers' Personal Information according to the Subscriber's own privacy practices. Please review the Subscriber's privacy notice to learn more and to understand how to opt-out.

H. Right to non-discrimination. If you reside in a jurisdiction that extends a right to non-discrimination related to the exercise of privacy rights, we will not (i) deny you goods or services, (ii) charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, (iii) provide you a different level or quality of goods or services, (iv) retaliate against you as an employee, applicant for employment, or independent contractor; or (v) suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services, because you exercised your statutory right unless permitted by law.

I. Right to not be subject to automated decision-making. Our Subscribers' AI Receptionists leverage generative AI technologies that process data in a manner that may qualify as automated decision-making or profiling under privacy laws. Each Subscriber is responsible for this type of processing and for providing Callers with notice and a method to opt-out. A Caller can prevent their Personal Information from being processed in this manner by requesting human intervention through the Services or by discontinuing the call.

J. California Shine the Light. If you are a resident of the State of California, California's Shine the Light Act (Civil Code sections 1798.83–1798.84) entitles California consumers to request certain disclosures regarding Personal Information sharing with affiliates and/or third parties for marketing purposes. Contact us at support@ryndesk.ai to make such a request.
