Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Samwise AI Limited ("Samwise AI", "we", "us", "our") processes personal information that we collect when you use or engage with our AI-powered personal assistant tool, through our digital and online properties or services that link or refer you to this Privacy Policy, as well as our marketing activities and other activities described in this Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Services").

Samwise AI is the controller in respect of the processing of your personal information covered by this Privacy Policy for the purposes of European data protection legislation (the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR). See the "How to contact us" section below for our contact details.

References to "personal information" in this Privacy Policy include "personal data" as defined in the GDPR - information about individuals who are either directly identified or identifiable.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information we process about our employees, independent contractors, or job candidates.

1. Who we are

Samwise AI Limited is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 17094690, with registered office at 6th Floor Manfield House, 1 Southampton Street, London, England, WC2R 0LR. You can contact us at support@samwi.se.

2. Personal information we collect

Information you provide to us

Personal information you may provide to us includes:

User-submitted content. The AI-powered personal assistant component of our Service enables you to share content through various channels as you would a human personal assistant. For example, you can forward or write your AI-powered personal assistant emails, send direct messages via SMS or similar platforms, or provide information through a call to this part of our Service. We collect the personal information that you submit to, make available through, or expose to the Service in the course of your use of it. This includes:

User-submitted content may include any records and logs of the further categories of personal information set out below.

Data about individuals who are not users of the Services

We may receive personal information relating to individuals who are not themselves users of the Services in two principal ways:

Third-party sources

We may combine personal information we receive from you with personal information of the kinds identified above that we obtain from other sources, such as:

Automatic data collection

We, our service providers, and our advertising partners may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with the Services, our communications, and other online services, such as:

Cookies

Some of our automatic data collection is facilitated by cookies and similar technologies. For more information, see our Cookie Policy. We also store a record of your cookie preferences in connection with the Services.

3. How we use your personal information

We may use your personal information for the following purposes or as otherwise described at the time of collection:

Services delivery and operations

We may use your personal information to:

Services personalization

We may use your personal information to personalize the Services for you, which may include using your personal information to:

Research and development

We may use your personal information for research and development purposes, including to analyse and improve the Services and our business, develop new products and services, and train our AI/ML models (where permitted). We do not give the underlying model providers we use rights to train their own models on your personal information for their own separate purposes.

Google Workspace data and AI models

Where you connect a Google Calendar or Gmail account so that Samwise AI can act on your behalf, we access that data through Google Workspace APIs. Data obtained this way is used solely to operate the requested features of the Services - for example, reading and creating calendar events, or reading and sending email on your behalf - and is not used to create, train, or improve generalised or foundational machine learning or artificial intelligence models, including any third-party models the Service relies on. Our use and transfer of this data adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Marketing and advertising

We and our third-party advertising partners may collect and use your personal information for marketing and advertising purposes:

Services improvement and analytics

We may use your personal information to analyse the operation and your usage of the Services, to improve the Services, to improve the rest of our business, to help us understand user activity on the Services (including user interactions with our emails), and to develop new products and services. This may include use of personal information contained in technical information relating to the operation of the Services, such as AI agent execution logs, workflow activity data, performance metrics, and usage metadata.

Compliance and protection

We may use your personal information to:

Aggregated, de-identified, and anonymised data

We may create aggregated, de-identified, and/or anonymised data from your personal information and other individuals' personal information we collect, by removing information that makes the data identifiable to you. We may use this data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyse and improve the Services and promote our business.

Data sharing in the context of corporate events

We may use and share certain personal information in the context of actual or prospective corporate events - for more information, see "How we share your personal information" below.

Further uses

In some cases, we may specifically ask for your consent to collect, use, or share your personal information for further purposes not set out above, such as where required by law where those further purposes are not compatible with the initial purpose for which the personal information was collected.

4. How we share your personal information

We may share your personal information with the following parties and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, in other applicable notices, or at the time of collection.

We do not sell personal information to data brokers, and we do not share personal information with third parties for those third parties' own direct marketing purposes. We do not currently offer sign-in via third-party accounts (such as Google or Apple).

In respect of each of the purposes for which we use your personal information, the GDPR requires us to ensure that we have a "legal basis" for that use. Our legal bases are:

The table below sets out the legal bases we rely on for the purposes described in "How we use your personal information" above.

6. Your choices and your rights

If you are not a Samwise AI user

If the Services contact or engage with you - for example, because a Samwise AI user has directed it to do so - you may stop that interaction at any time by clearly indicating that you do not wish to continue, for example by telling the Services to stop or by declining to engage. The Services are designed to recognise and respect such instructions.

Your rights under the GDPR

Under UK and EU GDPR you may have the right to:

You may exercise these rights by emailing support@samwi.se. We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity. If we reject a request, in whole or in part, we will let you know our grounds for doing so, subject to any legal restrictions. You will not normally have to pay a fee, though we may charge a reasonable fee if a request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. We try to respond to legitimate requests within one calendar month; it may take longer if your request is particularly complex, in which case we will notify you and keep you updated.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the data protection regulator in your habitual place of residence. For individuals in the European Economic Area, contact details for your regulator are available at edpb.europa.eu. For individuals in the UK, the relevant regulator is the ICO, at ico.org.uk.

Opt out of communications

You may opt out of marketing-related emails by following the opt-out or unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of the email, or by contacting us. It may take time for your opt-out to take effect. If you opt out of marketing-related emails, you may continue to receive service-related and other non-marketing emails.

Cookies

For information about cookies used by the Services, how we ask for your consent, and how to change your cookie choices at any time, see our Cookie Policy.

7. Data processing outside Europe

Although we are a UK-headquartered business, many of our service providers, advisers, partners, or other recipients of data are based in the U.S. This means that your personal information will be accessed and processed in the U.S., and may also be provided to recipients in other countries inside and outside the UK and the European Union ("Europe").

The U.S. is not the subject of an "adequacy decision" under the GDPR, meaning the U.S. legal regime is not considered by relevant European bodies to provide an equivalent level of protection to relevant European laws. Where we share your personal information with third parties based outside Europe, we try to ensure a similar degree of protection by using one of the following mechanisms:

You may contact us at support@samwi.se for further information on the specific mechanism we use when transferring your personal information out of Europe, or to request a copy of the appropriate safeguards under which it is transferred.

8. Information for individuals in the United States

Some U.S. states, such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, and Virginia, have enacted privacy laws that grant their residents certain rights and require specific disclosures ("State Privacy Laws"). To the extent we are subject to State Privacy Laws, if you reside in an applicable state, this section applies to you. This section also serves as our California notice at collection.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain information about you, and how we use it for targeted advertising. As required by certain State Privacy Laws, we use the table below to explain this same information.

We do not use data that may be considered "sensitive" under the State Privacy Laws other than as necessary to provide the Services you request. As described in "Personal information we collect" above, we collect personal information from various sources, including directly from you, automatically when you access or use the Services, and from other sources.

Sales, sharing, and targeted advertising

We disclose certain personal information, such as your contact information and online activity data, to third-party advertising platforms in order to reach you with advertisements about us and the Services on those platforms and other websites. These disclosures may be considered "sales", "sharing", or use of personal information for "targeted advertising" under State Privacy Laws. We do not engage in these activities for users we know to be under the age of 18. See our Cookie Policy for how to opt out.

Your rights under State Privacy Laws

Access, correction, and deletion. You may have the right to (1) request to know more about and access your personal information, including in a portable format, (2) request deletion of your personal information, and (3) request correction of inaccurate personal information. To request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information, please email support@samwi.se. To authenticate your request, we may ask you to provide information about your recent interactions with the Services.

Nonretaliation. We will not retaliate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Appeals. If we deny your request, you may appeal our decision by contacting us at support@samwi.se. If you have concerns about the result of an appeal, you may contact the attorney general in the state where you reside.

Authorized agents. If you reside in California, you may designate an authorized agent to submit an access, deletion, or correction request on your behalf. We may ask authorized agents to submit proof of their authority, such as a valid power of attorney or your signed permission. In some cases, we may contact you directly to verify your identity or confirm the agent's permission to submit the request. If you are an authorized agent seeking to make a request on behalf of a California resident, please contact us at support@samwi.se.

9. Other information

No obligation to provide personal information. You do not have to provide personal information to us. However, where we need to process your personal information either to comply with applicable law or to deliver our Services to you, and you do not provide it, we may not be able to provide some or all of our Services to you.

Retention period for personal information. We generally retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, establish or defend legal claims, or prevent fraud. We consider factors such as the length of our relationship with you, the sensitivity of the personal information, the risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, whether we can achieve our purposes through other means, and any applicable legal or regulatory retention requirements. We will generally retain your personal information for as long as you keep using the Services, and for a further period afterwards during which we may have a legitimate need to reference it. When we no longer need personal information, we either delete it or de-identify it.

Other sites and services. The Services may enable access to or interact with websites, mobile applications, and other online and offline systems and services operated by third parties. These links and integrations are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. We do not control third-party websites, applications, or online services, and are not responsible for their actions. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any other websites, applications, or online services you use.

Security. We employ technical, organisational, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

Children and teens. The Services are not intended for use by anyone under 18 years of age. We ask for your date of birth when you register and refuse registration where it shows an age under 18. If you are a parent or guardian of a minor from whom you believe we have collected personal information, please contact us at support@samwi.se. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without the consent of the child's parent or guardian as required by law, we will comply with applicable legal requirements to delete the information.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

The "last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy shows when it was last revised. We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. We will notify you by updating the "last updated" date, and depending on the nature of the change, we may also notify you directly or ask for your consent where required by law. Changes take effect once we post the modified version, or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting.
