6. Lead Capture data and our role as a data processor

Our Service includes a Lead Capture feature that allows our users (for example, professionals using DBC to network) to collect contact information from individuals who interact with their digital business card. When such an individual (the Recipient) submits a Lead Capture form, they provide personal data such as name, email address, phone number, company name, or other information configured by our user.

Roles and responsibilities. With respect to Lead Capture data, our user and DBC act in different capacities, as set out below.

Our user is the data controller of the Lead Capture data. Our user (the person operating the DBC digital business card) determines what information to collect, why, and how to use it after collection.

DBC is the data processor with respect to Lead Capture data. We (IT FOR TOMORROW LTD) store this data in our user's account, transmit it to third-party integrations (such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, monday.com, Google Sheets, or Zapier) as configured by our user, and otherwise process it strictly on the user's instructions.

If you are a Recipient who has submitted a Lead Capture form: we process your information on behalf of the DBC user you interacted with. For any requests regarding your data, please contact the DBC user directly — they are the controller of your data. If you are unable to identify the DBC user or reach them, you may contact us at privacy@digitalbusinesscard.com and we will use reasonable efforts to help you identify the appropriate contact.

Data processing responsibilities of our users. By using the Lead Capture feature, our users represent and warrant that they have established their own legal basis for collecting and processing Lead Capture data under applicable laws (including GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, PIPEDA, and similar regulations), that they have provided Recipients with the required privacy notices and disclosures, and that they have obtained any required consents. Where required, our users and DBC may enter into a separate Data Processing Agreement governing this relationship.

7. Our use of artificial intelligence (AI)

This section provides additional transparency on how we use AI in connection with our Service.

7.1 AI features in DBC

We currently use AI to power the following features:

AI Contact Scanner. Allows you to upload photographs of paper business cards and automatically extract the contact details (name, job title, company, email, phone number) into structured digital contacts saved in your account. The photograph is transmitted from your device to our servers, then forwarded to our AI processing partner (OpenAI) for image recognition and text extraction. Both the original photograph and the extracted contact data are stored in your account so that you may review, edit, or delete them.

AI-assisted customer support and content understanding. We may use AI to assist us in providing customer support and in understanding content submitted to the Service, for example to classify support inquiries, draft initial responses for human review, or summarize lead capture submissions. Where AI is used in customer support, a human agent reviews AI-generated suggestions before they are sent to you, unless we have explicitly disclosed that a specific interaction is fully automated.

7.2 AI processing partners and data flows

OpenAI. We use OpenAI's API (operated by OpenAI, L.L.C. in the United States) to power the AI Contact Scanner and certain other AI features. Our use of OpenAI is governed by OpenAI's API terms and a data processing agreement. Per OpenAI's API terms in effect as of the date of this Policy, OpenAI does not use data submitted through its API to train or improve their models, and OpenAI retains API data only for a limited period (typically up to 30 days) for abuse monitoring and legal compliance, after which it is deleted. Transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses.

Anthropic. We use Anthropic's API (Claude models, operated by Anthropic PBC in the United States) to power certain AI-assisted features. Per Anthropic's terms in effect as of the date of this Policy, Anthropic does not use API inputs or outputs to train their models by default. Transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses.

What we share with AI partners (and what we do not). For the AI Contact Scanner, we share with OpenAI only the photograph you upload and minimal technical metadata necessary for API processing. We do not share your DBC account identifiers, subscription details, contacts list, card content, or any other information beyond what is contained in the photograph and necessary for the API call. For AI-assisted support, we share only the content of the specific support inquiry or content being analyzed, not your full account history, payment details, or unrelated contacts.

Important note about third-party data. Photographs of business cards may contain personal data of the individuals whose cards you are scanning (Recipients). You represent and warrant that you have a legal basis to process such Recipients' personal data, including, where required by applicable law, their consent. We do not assume responsibility for your compliance with applicable law regarding the third-party data you submit.

7.3 Training and model improvement

We do not use your personal data to train AI models. We do not provide your inputs to AI features, AI-generated outputs, or other personal data to third parties for the purpose of training, retraining, fine-tuning, or improving general-purpose AI models. Our AI processing partners have contractually committed not to use API data to train their models, and we review these commitments periodically.

From time to time, we may perform aggregate or anonymized analysis of how AI features are used (for example, the number of contacts scanned per month, average accuracy of extracted fields, common error patterns) to improve our Service. Such analysis does not involve sharing identifiable personal data with third parties.

7.4 Accuracy and limitations of AI outputs

AI features may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or unexpected results. AI is a probabilistic technology and is not error-free. The accuracy of AI outputs depends on many factors, including the quality of the input (for example, the legibility of a scanned business card photograph), the language and formatting of the input, and the underlying capabilities of the AI models we use.

You acknowledge and agree that AI outputs are provided on an "as-is" basis without warranty of accuracy; that you are responsible for reviewing AI outputs before relying on them for business or legal decisions (for example, verifying that an extracted contact's fields are correct before adding it to your CRM or sending a message); that AI features are not a substitute for professional advice; and that AI outputs may reflect biases or limitations of the underlying training data of the AI models. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all liability for any decisions made or actions taken in reliance on AI outputs.

7.5 Your rights and choices regarding AI

Opting out of AI features. You can choose not to use AI features. The AI Contact Scanner is an optional feature — if you do not upload photographs to it, no image data will be sent to AI partners. AI-assisted customer support can be replaced by direct interaction with our human support team by contacting us at support@digitalbusinesscard.com.

Deleting AI-related data. You can delete photographs uploaded to the AI Contact Scanner and any extracted contact data from your account at any time. Such deletion removes the data from our active systems immediately. Backup retention and other deletion details are covered in Section 8 (Account Deletion).

Right to human review of AI decisions. Where required by applicable law (for example, under GDPR Article 22), you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you. We currently do not use AI to make decisions that produce legal effects or significantly affect users (for example, AI is not used to determine pricing, eligibility, account suspension, or refund decisions). If we introduce such use of AI in the future, we will update this Policy and provide appropriate disclosures and opt-out mechanisms.

8. Account deletion

You can delete your account at any time using the self-service account deletion functionality available in your account settings in the App or on our website, or by sending a request to privacy@digitalbusinesscard.com.

Important: cancel your subscription first. Before deleting your account, you should cancel any active subscriptions to avoid any additional charges. For subscriptions purchased on our website, you may cancel through your account settings. For subscriptions purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through the respective App Store account settings; deleting your DBC account does not cancel your App Store subscription.

What happens when you delete your account. When you initiate account deletion, the following takes place.

Your personal data is immediately removed from our active production systems.

Your digital business cards become inactive and will no longer be accessible to recipients who previously saved or scanned them.

Any third-party integrations you configured (such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, monday.com, Google Sheets, Zapier) will stop receiving data from your account. You should also revoke DBC's access from each respective integration's settings.

Data stored in our system backups is purged in accordance with our standard backup rotation, within 30 days.

What is retained after deletion. In some cases we may be legally required to retain certain information for a limited period after account deletion, as set out below.

Billing and transaction records are retained for 7 years to comply with tax and accounting obligations under applicable law.

Records of your privacy requests are retained to demonstrate compliance with applicable data protection laws.

Data necessary to defend against legal claims is retained for the duration of the applicable statutory limitation period.

Anonymized or aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.

Account deletion is irreversible. Once you initiate the deletion, your account cannot be restored, and any content, contacts, or analytics history associated with your account will be permanently lost.

9. Data breach notification process

We have implemented technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. Despite these measures, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will notify the competent supervisory authority without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with Article 33 of the GDPR and equivalent provisions of other applicable data protection laws.

Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also communicate the breach to you without undue delay, in accordance with Article 34 of the GDPR. Our notification will describe the nature of the breach, the likely consequences, the measures taken or proposed to address the breach, and the contact details of our privacy contact.

If you believe that your personal data may have been compromised or you have observed suspicious activity related to your DBC account, please contact us immediately at privacy@digitalbusinesscard.com.

10. Age limitation

We do not knowingly process personal data from persons under 18 years of age. If you learn that anyone younger than 18 has provided us with personal data, please contact us at privacy@digitalbusinesscard.com.

11. International data transfers

Our primary data storage is located in the European Union (Amazon Web Services and MongoDB Atlas, both deployed in the Frankfurt eu-central-1 region). However, some of our service providers, including certain analytics, marketing, and AI processing partners, are located outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States.

Where we transfer personal data to countries that do not provide an equivalent level of data protection, we deploy appropriate safeguards under applicable data protection laws, as described below.

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). We rely on the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission for transfers to third countries pursuant to GDPR Article 46(2)(c).

Adequacy decisions. Where applicable, we rely on adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission for the relevant country.

EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) certification. For transfers to certified U.S. organizations, we may rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension as an additional safeguard, where applicable.

Specifically, our AI Contact Scanner feature transmits images and associated text to OpenAI's processing infrastructure (located in the United States) for contact extraction. This transfer is covered by Standard Contractual Clauses executed with OpenAI.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we decide to make material changes to this Privacy Policy, you will be notified through our Service or by other available means and will have an opportunity to review the revised Privacy Policy. By continuing to access or use the Service after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.

13. Data retention

We will store your personal data for as long as it is reasonably necessary for achieving the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, which includes (but is not limited to) the period during which you have an account with the Service.

Indicative retention periods are set out below.

Active account data is retained for the duration of your active subscription and account.

Closed account data is removed from active systems immediately upon account deletion (see Section 8).

Backups are purged within 30 days of the original deletion.

Billing and transaction records are retained for 7 years to comply with tax and accounting obligations.

System logs are retained typically for 30 to 90 days for security and operational purposes.
