Version 3.0

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you use OmniOps. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

Our Commitment

We take your privacy seriously. This policy describes our practices in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the EU AI Act, and other applicable privacy laws. We only collect data necessary to provide our services and we never sell your personal information.

Definitions

To help you understand this policy, here are key terms we use:

  • Personal Data: Any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual
  • Processing: Any operation performed on personal data (collecting, storing, using, sharing, deleting)
  • Data Controller: The entity that determines the purposes and means of processing (us, when we process your data)
  • Data Processor: An entity that processes data on behalf of the controller (our service providers)
  • Data Subject: The individual whose personal data is being processed (you)

AI and Automated Processing

AI Disclosure (EU AI Act Article 50)

Our chat widget uses artificial intelligence to generate responses. When you interact with our chat widget, you are communicating with an AI system, not a human.

Our service processes data in the following ways:

  • Response Generation: Your messages are processed by AI models from Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), and Google (Gemini) to generate contextually relevant responses
  • Content Understanding: We crawl and index your website content to build a knowledge base for your specific products and services
  • Multiple AI Providers: We use multiple AI providers and may route your data through any active provider based on capability and availability
  • No Automated Decision-Making: We do not use AI to make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you

Important limitations:

  • AI responses may not always be accurate - users should verify important information
  • AI cannot provide medical, legal, or financial advice
  • AI responses are generated based on training data and may not reflect current information
  • Human oversight is available through your account dashboard

You have the right to request human review of any AI-generated response or to opt out of AI processing where technically feasible. Contact us to exercise these rights.
