GoodBuddy AI is operated by Service Gecko Limited, a New Zealand registered company. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Who This Policy Applies To

This policy applies to visitors to trades.goodbuddyai.com, business owners who use our voice AI receptionist service, and callers who interact with a GoodBuddy AI receptionist deployed by one of our clients.

2. Information We Collect

From website visitors: Name and email address when booking a demo or submitting an enquiry, and general usage data via analytics.

From clients (business owners): Business name, contact details, billing information, and business details provided during onboarding including services, pricing, and availability.

From callers interacting with our AI receptionist: Name and phone number provided during the call, call recordings and transcripts, and booking details including service requested and preferred time.

We use your information to provide and operate the GoodBuddy AI service, book appointments and relay caller information to the relevant business, send call summaries and notifications to our clients, respond to enquiries and provide support, improve the performance and accuracy of our AI systems, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information to third parties. We do not use caller data for marketing purposes.
