- We act as the Processor (Art. 4(8) GDPR) and process the data exclusively on the documented instructions of the customer.
The rights and obligations are governed by a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
3.3.2 What Data Do We Process on Behalf of Our Customers?
| Data Category | Description | Source |

3.3.3 Purpose and Legal Basis
The processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of providing the platform functionality on behalf of the customer. The legal basis for the processing is determined by the respective customer as the Controller.
3.3.4 Recording and Transcription of Conversations

The AI models are not trained with the data of our customers or their contact persons.
3.3.6 No Independent Analysis
We do not carry out any independent analysis of conversation contents. The processing is carried out exclusively on behalf of and on the instructions of the customer. No sentiment analysis, emotion recognition, biometric voice analysis, or other automated profiling takes place beyond the data extraction configured by the customer.

Since these are self-hosted solutions, no personal data is transmitted to the respective software manufacturers (LiveKit, Inc.; VAPI, Inc.; MongoDB, Inc.). Full technical control over these instances lies with the Controller.
4.3 Voice Service Providers (Transient Real-Time Processing)
For the real-time processing of voice data during phone calls, the voice service providers ElevenLabs, Deepgram, and Cartesia are used. With regard to data processing by these services, the following should be noted:
Nature of processing:
- Audio data is transmitted to the service providers as a real-time stream and processed immediately (transient stream processing)
- No permanent storage of audio data, transcripts, or generated speech takes place at the service providers
- Processing takes place in the servers’ working memory and is deleted from memory upon completion of the respective request
Data minimization:
- Only audio fragments (STT) or text fragments (TTS) are transmitted to the voice service providers
- No identifying metadata (phone numbers, names, email addresses, company data) is transmitted to the voice service providers
- The voice service providers are unable to associate the audio data with a specific person
Safeguards for third-country transfer:
- Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) pursuant to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 have been concluded with all voice service providers
- Participation in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework is verified (where applicable)
- A Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) in accordance with EDPB Recommendations 01/2020 has been conducted for each voice service provider
- Transport encryption is carried out using TLS 1.2 or higher
The complete Transfer Impact Assessments can be viewed upon request.
5. Data Transfers to Third Countries
5.1 Principle
The core systems of the platform (hosting, database, application server, LLM processing, voice communication infrastructure) are operated exclusively within the European Union. The permanent storage of personal data takes place exclusively on EU servers.
5.2 Transfers to the USA
For the services listed below, transient data transfers to the USA take place:
| Service | Type of Data | Type of Processing | Safeguard |
|---|
| ElevenLabs | Audio fragments (STT), text fragments (TTS) | Transient, real-time | SCCs + DPA + TIA; where applicable EU-US DPF |

| Resend | Email addresses, email content | Transient (delivery) | SCCs + DPA |
5.3 Access from the United Arab Emirates
The Controller is established in the UAE. Authorized personnel access the EU systems administratively from there. As this remote access may be classified as a transfer of personal data to a third country within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) pursuant to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 have been implemented as the legal basis. Additionally, the following safeguards apply:
- All data remains on EU servers — no local storage on devices outside the EU
- Access exclusively via encrypted VPN connection with multi-factor authentication
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Complete logging of all access
- Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) conducted in accordance with EDPB Recommendations 01/2020, which, in conjunction with the SCCs and the supplementary technical measures, confirms an adequate level of protection
5.4 No Transfer to Other Third Countries
Beyond the cases described above, no transfer of personal data to third countries takes place.

9. Cookies and Tracking
9.1 Technically Necessary Cookies
Our website and platform use technically necessary cookies that are required for the operation of the website and the provision of platform functionality. These cookies do not store personal data beyond session management.
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention Period |
|---|
| Session cookie | Management of the user session after login | Session duration (deleted when the browser is closed) |
| Authentication cookie | Maintenance of login status | Maximum 30 days |
| CSRF token | Protection against Cross-Site Request Forgery | Session duration |

Legal basis: Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG (technically necessary cookies are exempt from consent requirements).
9.2 Analytics and Marketing Cookies
Analytics or marketing cookies are only set with your explicit consent. Without your consent, no tracking takes place.
10. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
10.1 AI-Powered Conversation Conduct
The platform uses AI models (Large Language Models) to conduct automated phone conversations. The AI makes automated decisions during the conversation regarding:
- The next conversational utterance (based on the logic configured by the customer)
- The qualification of the called person (based on criteria defined by the customer)
- The conversation outcome (e.g., “appointment scheduled,” “no interest”)
10.2 No Automated Decision with Legal Effect
The automated conversation conduct by the AI has no legal effect and no similarly significant impact on the called person within the meaning of Art. 22(1) GDPR. The AI:
- Does not conclude contracts
- Does not make legally binding statements
- Does not carry out scoring or profiling with legal consequences
- Merely qualifies the interest of the called person based on criteria defined by the customer
The called person can end the conversation at any time (hang up). The final decision regarding business relationships is always made by a human.
