SoftRivo ("we", "us", or "our") operates the AI SMEs platform — a WhatsApp AI chatbot SaaS that enables businesses to deploy AI-powered customer service bots via WhatsApp. Our website is located at https://softrivo.com.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data when you use our platform as a business subscriber, and how we handle data belonging to the end users who interact with chatbots deployed by our clients. By using AI SMEs, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

  • Uploaded business documents such as FAQ files, menus, and price lists

  • Name and contact details if voluntarily shared during a conversation
  • Conversation history with the chatbot

We do not sell personal data to third parties. We do not use any collected data for advertising or marketing purposes unrelated to our own services.

5. WhatsApp Data and Meta Platform Policy

We access WhatsApp messages solely to provide the AI chatbot service on behalf of our business clients. Message data is not used for any purpose beyond service delivery.

SoftRivo complies with Meta's Platform Terms of Service and the WhatsApp Business Policy. Our use of the WhatsApp Business API is limited to the features and permissions required to operate the chatbot, capture leads, and notify business owners.

End users who wish to request deletion of their conversation data may contact us at contact@softrivo.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

6. Data Retention

  • Client account data: Retained while the account is active, plus 60 days after cancellation.
  • Conversation data: Retained for 12 months from the date of each conversation.
  • Uploaded files (FAQ, menus, price lists): Retained while the client account is active.
  • Lead data: Retained while the client account is active.

After the applicable retention period expires, data is permanently deleted from our systems and those of our sub-processors.

7. Data Security

  • All Meta API tokens and credentials are stored encrypted at rest
  • Our database (Supabase) is protected by Row Level Security (RLS)
  • HTTPS is enforced on all endpoints — data in transit is encrypted via TLS
  • Service keys and secrets are never exposed publicly

While we implement strong security measures, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage clients to use strong passwords and protect their account credentials.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Delete your data (subject to legal and operational retention requirements)

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date. For material changes, we will notify active clients via email.
