Privacy Policy

BizFinder.ai ("we," "our," or "us") operates an AI-powered customer support platform that enables businesses to embed intelligent chat and voice assistants on their websites. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our platform, website, and services.

By using BizFinder.ai, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

Account Information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored as a bcrypt hash, never in plain text).

Business Data: Website URLs you submit for scanning, the content extracted from those pages (text, FAQs, service details), and knowledge base entries generated from your site.

Conversation Data: Chat messages between your website visitors and the AI assistant, including any contact information visitors voluntarily provide (name, email, phone).

Usage Data: Analytics on widget interactions, conversation volume, feature usage, and platform engagement.

Technical Data: IP addresses, browser type, device information, and access timestamps collected automatically through server logs.

We use the information we collect to:

- Provide and maintain our AI assistant services, including training per-business AI models on your website content.

- Process and respond to customer conversations through the AI widget.

- Capture and manage leads generated through widget interactions.

- Send service-related notifications, alerts, and updates.

- Improve our platform, algorithms, and user experience.

- Ensure security and prevent fraud or abuse.

Your data is stored in PostgreSQL databases hosted on Supabase with encrypted connections. All data transmission between your browser and our servers uses TLS/SSL encryption. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with appropriate salt rounds. Authentication tokens are signed using industry-standard JWT with secure secret keys.

We implement role-based access controls (User, Admin, Super Admin) to limit data access to authorized personnel only.

We integrate with the following third-party services to deliver our platform:

OpenAI: Chat messages are processed through OpenAI's API to generate AI responses. Messages are sent to OpenAI in real-time and are subject to OpenAI's data usage policies.

ElevenLabs: When voice features are enabled, text is sent to ElevenLabs for text-to-speech conversion. Audio recordings are sent to OpenAI Whisper for speech-to-text transcription.

Calendly: When booking features are enabled, scheduling data is shared with Calendly to facilitate appointment booking.

Umami Analytics: We use self-hosted Umami for privacy-friendly website analytics that does not use cookies for tracking.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Business knowledge bases, conversation history, and lead data are retained for the duration of your subscription. Upon account deletion, we will remove your data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

You have the right to:

- Access the personal data we hold about you.

- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

- Delete your account and associated data.

- Export your data in a portable format.

- Withdraw consent for data processing where consent is the legal basis.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address provided below.

We use essential cookies for authentication (JWT session token stored in an HTTP cookie). For detailed information about our cookie practices, please see our Cookie Policy.

BizFinder.ai is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email or through a notice on our platform. Your continued use of BizFinder.ai after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
