PRIVACY POLICY - GDPR

1- Introduction

Protecting your personal data is crucial to us. We commit to only collecting data necessary for ensuring optimal service, maintaining its confidentiality and security, including when engaging with service providers, and facilitating the exercise of your rights over your data. Thus, we comply with all applicable provisions regarding privacy and personal data protection, notably the law of January 6, 1978, as amended, relating to data processing, files, and freedoms, as well as the EU Regulation 2016/679 of April 27, 2016, concerning the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data. This privacy policy outlines the personal data we collect, how it is used, and your rights in this respect. It applies to any user who accesses our AI platform and uses the services offered by our AI platform. We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time. The most current version of this policy governs our use of your information and will always be available on our platform. If we were to make a substantial modification to this privacy policy, we commit to notifying you via your email address.

2- DATA CONTROLLER

Article 24 of the GDPR establishes the responsibility of the data controller for personal data processing. This article specifies in its first two points that:

"Taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purposes of the processing as well as the risks, of varying likelihood and severity, for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the data controller shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure and be able to demonstrate that processing is performed in accordance with this Regulation. These measures shall be reviewed and updated as necessary.Where proportionate in relation to processing activities, the measures referred to in paragraph 1 shall include the implementation of appropriate data protection policies by the data controller."

Ween.ai is considered the data controller for your personal data and is responsible for implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the processing of your data in accordance with the GDPR. Ween.ai, a simplified joint-stock company with a share capital of 1,200 Euros, is registered in the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 949372023, with its registered office located at 10 RUE DE PENTHIÈVRE 75008 PARIS.

3- DATA WE COLLECT

In the context of using our services and navigating our platform, Ween.ai collects several categories of data, details of which are provided below. These data originate from the information you provide when you register on the platform, when you use the platform to analyze your qualitative customer data, or when you communicate with Ween.ai. These personal pieces of information include:

  • Identification data (first name, email).
  • Qualitative data of your clients obtained with their consent, which are then anonymized and processed by the AI platform.
  • Exchanges conducted via the Assistance function.
  • Information about your interests to share with your teams.

Any limitation on the collection of these data may limit your ability to use certain features of our services.

4- PURPOSE

Ween.ai processes your personal data for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes. In particular, these data are intended for:

  • The overall use and improvement of our services based on Machine Learning;
  • Communicating with you;
  • Responding to injunctions from legal authorities, particularly to combat fraud and more generally any criminally reprehensible activity.

5- LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

Ween.ai processes most of your personal data within the framework of the contract you agreed to when registering on the platform, through the acceptance of our general terms of use and/or, where applicable, sales. However, we may process certain data about you based on your consent, due to legal obligations, or to respond to our legitimate interest in processing them.

6- RECIPIENTS OR CATEGORIES OF RECIPIENTS

Ween.ai is the recipient of the collected personal data. We may also need to share certain information for legal reasons or in case of a dispute. Finally, we only communicate your personal data to companies or third parties in the following circumstances:

  • When necessary for external processing needs and/or improvement of our AI platform, and only in these cases, we transmit this data to our trusted providers who process it on our behalf, following our instructions or under a contractual agreement, in accordance with this privacy policy and respecting any other appropriate security and confidentiality measures. We may transfer your personal data to them only for the purposes set out below. In particular, we use our providers responsible for hosting, securing our information systems, and, where applicable, processing the qualitative data provided (including Open.AI). The list of our subcontractors can be communicated to you by sending your request to contact@Ween.ai.
  • We retain or disclose your information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation, any legal process or administrative request, to protect the safety of a person, to address any issue of a fraudulent, security, or technical nature, improve our AI platform, or to protect the rights or property of our users.

Ween.ai commits not to resell your data and not to transmit your personal data to any third party that may use it for its own purposes, especially for commercial and/or direct advertising purposes, without your express consent. Therefore, Ween.ai does not disclose personal information outside the situations described in this privacy policy.

All our servers where your data is stored and those of the providers used for exchanging and storing these data are located in Europe.

In the event that Ween.ai resorts to using subcontractors located outside the European Union, we commit to ensuring that these subcontractors present protection measures recognized as sufficient under the GDPR. This may include subcontractors located in any other country recognized by the European Union as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data ("Adequacy Decision"), subject to a data transfer agreement conforming to the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission, or any other measure of protection recognized as sufficient by the European Commission.
