Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how ELAGENT, INC. and its elAgent™ products and services (“elAgent,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we process through:

  • Secretary Agent, including call screening, call forwarding, spam detection, call summaries, transcripts, recordings, notifications, caller handling, and related features.
  • elAgent websites, mobile applications, user accounts, customer support, subscription management, billing, analytics, security, and operational systems.
  • Beta, pilot, or limited-release features that we make available through Secretary Agent or related elAgent services, unless a separate privacy notice applies.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, apps, services, or integrations that we do not own or control. Their own privacy policies apply. When a third-party service is connected to elAgent at your direction, elAgent processes the connected data only as needed to provide the requested feature, subject to your permissions and settings.

Certain elAgent features may involve sensitive personal information, including audio, voice data, transcripts, contact information, call metadata, location if enabled, health-related information disclosed during a call, financial or insurance information disclosed during a call, government-related information disclosed during a call, and information about family members, household members, clients, patients, or other third parties.

We process sensitive information only where reasonably necessary to provide requested features, maintain safety and security, comply with law, support user requests, or with your consent where required.

4. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information to:

  4. 4.Improve reliability and safety. Monitor performance, debug errors, reduce latency, detect misuse, prevent fraud, improve spam detection, and maintain service continuity.

5. AI Processing and Model Improvement

elAgent services rely on AI systems to understand speech, text, context, intent, urgency, sentiment, and user preferences.

5.1 Use of Service Providers

We may use third-party AI, transcription, voice, cloud, security, analytics, and infrastructure providers to process information on our behalf. We require such providers to process personal information under contractual restrictions and only for authorized purposes. Where commercially available and appropriate, we configure vendors not to use customer content to train their general-purpose models.

5.2 Training and Improvement

We do not use your private call audio, call recordings, transcripts, contacts, caller information, or message content to train general-purpose AI models unless we have a lawful basis and, where required, your consent.

We may use de-identified, aggregated, or privacy-protected data to improve service performance, security, spam detection, and reliability. Where feasible, we separate account identifiers from improvement datasets.

5.3 User Corrections

When you correct summaries, labels, transcripts, contact rules, or preferences, we may use those corrections to improve your own service experience and, where permitted, improve the underlying system.

6. Recording, Consent, and Bystander Privacy

Certain features may record or transcribe phone calls or other communications.

You are responsible for using recording and transcription features lawfully. This may require notifying or obtaining consent from callers, meeting participants, employees, visitors, patients, clients, family members, household members, or bystanders, depending on applicable law and context.

We may provide tools such as recording indicators, consent prompts, announcements, mute controls, permissions, or administrative controls, but you remain responsible for configuring and using the services appropriately.

7. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients.

7.1 Service Providers and Processors

We may disclose information to vendors that provide services on our behalf, including:

  • Cloud hosting and storage providers.

7.3 Business, Team, or Pilot Accounts

If you use elAgent through a business, team, pilot, or similar arrangement, the relevant account owner or administrator may access account, usage, billing, security, and support information according to the applicable agreement, settings, and permissions.

We may disclose information if we believe disclosure is necessary to:

  • Comply with law, court orders, subpoenas, lawful government requests, or regulatory obligations.
  • Protect the safety, rights, property, or security of users, elAgent, or others.
  • Detect, prevent, or investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, spam, scams, or illegal activity.

8. No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of the word.

We also do not knowingly sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising where prohibited by applicable law. If we later use advertising, analytics, or marketing technologies that constitute “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under applicable law, we will provide required notices and opt-out choices.

No personal information will be shared with third-parties or affiliates for sale, marketing, or promotional purposes.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the services, maintain user preferences, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect security, and support legitimate business operations.

Retention periods may vary by data type and account settings. Examples include:

  • Call recordings may be retained according to your selected settings, account configuration, or legal requirements.
  • Transcripts, summaries, notes, action items, preferences, and call history may be retained while your account is active unless deleted or configured otherwise.
  • Security logs, billing records, and fraud-prevention records may be retained for longer periods where needed.
  • De-identified or aggregated data may be retained for analytics, security, and service-improvement purposes.

We will provide deletion, export, and retention controls where required by law and feasible for the service.

16. Children and Minors

elAgent services are not intended for children under 13, or under the age required by applicable law, unless specifically provided through a parent, guardian, school, organization, care provider, or other authorized arrangement with appropriate consent and controls.

If we learn that we collected personal information from a child without required consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Features involving family assistance, education, household use, or care-related use must be configured and supervised by responsible adults where minors may be present.

17. Healthcare, Emergency, and Safety Limitations

elAgent services may assist with call screening, reminders, notifications, escalation, and related communication support where enabled. Unless expressly stated in a signed agreement, elAgent is not a medical device, emergency-response service, healthcare provider, or substitute for professional care.

Communications, notifications, escalation, and safety-related features may fail, be delayed, or be unavailable because of device failure, battery failure, connectivity problems, incorrect settings, third-party outages, or other limitations.

18. Automated Decisions and Human Oversight

Our services may classify calls, detect spam, prioritize urgency, generate summaries, draft or suggest responses, recommend actions, or automate workflows.

These systems may make mistakes. Users should review important outputs before relying on them, especially for legal, medical, financial, employment, safety, emergency, or regulated decisions.

Where required by law or agreement, we will provide human-review mechanisms, escalation paths, audit logs, or controls over automated processing.

Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. elAgent is not responsible for third-party privacy or security practices.
