Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 September 2026 • Version 4.1

This policy is available in Dutch and English. In the event of any discrepancy between the two versions, the Dutch version prevails.

Ajora is a call intelligence service operated by Ajora B.V., a Dutch besloten vennootschap (private limited company) registered in the Handelsregister under KvK number 42138300, with its registered office at Poortstraat 28, 3572 HJ Utrecht, the Netherlands. In this policy, "Ajora", "we", and "us" refer to Ajora B.V. We can be reached at privacy@ajora.io.

About This Policy & Our Role

This policy explains how Ajora B.V. processes personal data in connection with the Ajora service. It covers three categories of data subjects:

1. Account holders: customers who have registered for an Ajora account.
2. Call participants: other parties on a telephone call recorded by an account holder.
3. Website visitors: visitors to ajora.io, including those without an account. We process their IP address and browser data in order to display and secure the site, along with whatever you enter in the contact form. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) in a working and secure website; for the contact form, acting on your request. We keep contact form messages no longer than we need to handle your question.

Our role differs depending on the data:

As data controller, we determine the purposes and means of processing for account data, billing data, and usage logs. This policy applies directly to that processing.

As data processor, we act on behalf of the account holder (our customer) for the content of recorded calls, including audio, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries. The account holder is the data controller for call content and is responsible for establishing a valid legal basis for recording calls and for informing other parties to the call. Our Data Processing Agreement, available at ajora.io/dpa, governs this relationship.

Data Protection Officer: Ajora B.V. has not appointed a Data Protection Officer, as our processing activities do not meet the thresholds set out in GDPR Article 37. For all privacy-related matters, contact privacy@ajora.io.

1. Data We Collect & Legal Basis

Account data

When you register, we collect your email address, name, and a hashed password. We also store your verified phone number after you complete phone verification. Legal basis: contract performance (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Call metadata

For each recorded call, we store the date, time, duration, and the phone number that initiated the call. Legal basis: processed on behalf of the account holder under a Data Processing Agreement.

Call transcripts & summaries

We generate and store an encrypted written transcript of your recorded calls, along with an AI-generated summary, action points, key decisions, and sentiment assessment. These are stored for the lifetime of your account and encrypted with a key tied to your account. Legal basis: processed on behalf of the account holder under a Data Processing Agreement.

Call audio

Call audio is captured during the call and transmitted to one of our transcription services (ElevenLabs or Reson8). Ajora retains the audio for up to 24 hours after the call on its servers in Germany (Hetzner), so that a failed transcription can be retried. The audio is then deleted automatically; audio is not included in backups. Reson8 does not store audio. ElevenLabs may retain audio in backup systems for up to 30 days per their data retention policy, after which it is permanently deleted. Audio is never accessible through the Ajora application after transcription. Legal basis: processed on behalf of the account holder under a Data Processing Agreement.

Usage data

We collect technical logs including IP addresses, timestamps, and API response codes for security and operational purposes. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) in maintaining service security and reliability.

Automated decision-making

The AI-generated summaries, action points, and sentiment assessments are decision-support outputs intended for the account holder's reference. They do not constitute automated decision-making within the meaning of GDPR Article 22, and no automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects are taken based on this output.

2. Third-Party Processors

We use the following third-party processors to deliver our service. Each has signed a Data Processing Agreement with us and is contractually bound to process your data only on our instructions.

Note on AI training: We have explicitly opted out of all data training features with our AI and transcription providers. Your data (audio, transcripts, metadata) is never used to train Large Language Models.

3. Data Location & International Transfers

Ajora's core infrastructure (application servers and database hosted at Hetzner Nuremberg, Germany, and encryption key management in AWS Frankfurt region, Germany) is located in the European Union. Call transcripts, summaries, metadata, and account data, as well as call audio for up to 24 hours, are stored exclusively on this EU infrastructure.

Certain functions of the service require transmission of data to sub-processors located outside the EU. All such transfers are covered by an adequate safeguard under GDPR Chapter V:

No personal data is transferred to a country without an adequate safeguard recognised under GDPR.

4. Data Retention

When you delete your account, your encryption key is destroyed first, rendering your transcripts cryptographically inaccessible. All remaining data is permanently erased from our production systems within 30 days and from backup systems within 90 days.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

As a data subject under GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right of access — You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — You can ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure — You can delete your account at any time from your dashboard. All data is permanently deleted as described in §4.
• Right to data portability — You can request your data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to object — You can object to processing based on legitimate interest (such as usage logs).
• Right to restrict processing — You can ask us to restrict processing while a dispute is resolved.
• Right to withdraw consent — Where processing is based on consent (such as analytics cookies), you can withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@ajora.io. We will respond within one month (extendable by two months for complex requests). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.

Note for call participants (non-account holders): If your voice was recorded in a call made using Ajora, the account holder (the person who initiated the recording) is the data controller for your personal data. Requests from call participants regarding access, rectification, or erasure should be directed to the account holder in the first instance. We will assist account holders in honouring such requests.

6. Recording Consent

Ajora records telephone calls initiated by the account holder for the purpose of generating call summaries and transcripts.

Ajora does not play an automatic audible signal to the other party indicating that the call is being recorded. The obligation to verbally inform all other parties in advance, and to obtain their consent where required by law, rests entirely with the account holder.

The account holder is contractually required, under our Terms of Service, to:

• Verbally inform all other parties before recording begins that the call will be recorded and transcribed by Ajora.
• Obtain the consent of all other parties where required by law.
• Comply with all applicable recording and wiretapping laws in the jurisdictions of all parties on the call. Recording laws vary significantly by country (for example, all-party consent requirements in some US states; Article 139a Wetboek van Strafrecht in the Netherlands; equivalent rules across the EU).
• Establish and document a valid legal basis under GDPR Article 6 for processing the personal data of other parties on the call.
• Honour requests from other parties to access, correct, or delete their personal data.

Ajora provides the technical means to record, transcribe, and summarise calls. Using the service without obtaining proper consent or a valid legal basis may expose the account holder to civil and criminal liability. By using Ajora, you confirm that you will comply with all applicable recording laws and will obtain any consent required.

7. Security

We implement the following technical and organisational measures to protect your data:

• All data is encrypted. Business accounts receive their own encryption key per organisation.
• The master keys protecting these data keys are stored in AWS Key Management Service under strict access controls and are never stored in plaintext in our application.
• Access to key material is limited to a small number of authorised personnel and fully logged via AWS CloudTrail.
• All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher.
• Access to production systems is restricted to authorised personnel, protected by multi-factor authentication, and reviewed periodically.
• Database backups are encrypted at rest and stored in the same EU region.
• All personnel with access to personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Sub-processors are assessed for appropriate security and privacy controls before onboarding, and DPAs are reviewed on a regular basis.
• We maintain a documented incident response procedure covering detection, containment, forensic review, notification, and post-incident review.

8. Data Breach Notification

If we become aware of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, we will notify the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens within 72 hours in accordance with GDPR Article 33. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk, we will also notify affected users without undue delay in accordance with Article 34, by email to the address associated with the account.

If you suspect a security incident involving your data, contact privacy@ajora.io immediately.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our service, sub-processor stack, or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated by email to the address associated with your account at least 14 days before they take effect. The current version, effective date, and a summary of changes are always available at ajora.io/privacy.

Sub-processor changes: When we add or replace a sub-processor involved in processing call content, we will notify account holders at least 30 days in advance by email. If you object to a new sub-processor on reasonable grounds, you may terminate your account before the change takes effect.

10. Minimum Age

Ajora is a business tool intended for users aged 18 or older. We do not target minors and do not knowingly collect personal data from users under 18. If you believe a minor has provided personal data to us, contact privacy@ajora.io and we will delete it without undue delay.
