Who we are

Recepflo is an AI receptionist platform operated by Recepflo Limited, a company registered in New Zealand. We provide voice, SMS, WhatsApp, and web chat services that help service businesses answer enquiries and manage bookings automatically. Contact: hello@recepflo.ai

Information we collect

We collect: (1) Account information — business name, owner name, email address, phone number, and billing details provided during signup. (2) Business configuration — services, operating hours, staff details, FAQs, and channel settings. (3) Customer interaction data — names, phone numbers, message content, booking details, and conversation transcripts created when your customers contact your business through Recepflo. (4) Usage data — log data, feature usage, and session information used to operate and improve the service.

Lawful basis for processing (GDPR)

For customers in the EU and UK, we process personal data under the following lawful bases: Contract — processing necessary to deliver the service you have subscribed to. Legitimate interests — service improvement, security, and fraud prevention where these do not override your rights. Legal obligation — where processing is required by applicable law. Consent — where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.

How we use your information

We use collected information to: deliver the AI receptionist service and manage bookings; route and respond to customer messages; send account, billing, and notification emails; operate and improve the dashboard; detect and prevent fraud or abuse; comply with legal obligations; and respond to your support requests. We do not sell your data or your customers' data to any third party.

Sub-processors

We share data with third-party providers only to the extent necessary to operate the service. Current sub-processors include: Anthropic (AI text processing, USA); ElevenLabs (voice AI, USA); Twilio (telephony, USA); Meta (WhatsApp messaging, USA); WebSMS Connexus (SMS, NZ/AU); Google (calendar integration, USA); Resend (transactional email, USA); Clerk (authentication, USA); Stripe (payments, USA); Vercel (cloud hosting, USA). Each provider is bound by their own data processing terms and applicable privacy laws.

International data transfers

Recepflo operates globally and your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own, including the United States. For transfers from the EU or UK, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent transfer mechanisms. For transfers from Australia and New Zealand, we take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle data consistently with applicable local privacy principles.

Data retention

We retain account and business configuration data for the duration of your subscription and for up to 12 months after account closure, unless a longer period is required by law. Customer interaction data (transcripts, bookings, leads) is retained for up to 24 months from creation. You may request earlier deletion by contacting hello@recepflo.ai. Deletion requests will be completed within 30 days subject to legal retention obligations.

Security

We apply industry-standard technical and organisational safeguards including encrypted data storage and transmission (TLS), access controls, authenticated APIs, and regular security reviews. We will notify affected customers of any personal data breach within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, as required under GDPR and applicable law. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure.

Cookies and tracking

Recepflo uses cookies and similar technologies strictly necessary for authentication and session management. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If you access the service from the EU or UK, a cookie notice will be displayed. You may control non-essential cookies through your browser settings.

Children's privacy

Recepflo is a business service and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our service, contact us at hello@recepflo.ai and we will promptly delete it.
