Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your information.

Last updated: May 28, 2025

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us and information generated through your use of Klaio.

Account information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored as a bcrypt hash). If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google.

Documents and content: We store the files you upload (PDFs, Word documents, text files, etc.) and pages you import from Notion in order to provide the document Q&A service.

Usage data: We collect information about how you interact with Klaio — pages visited, features used, and queries submitted — to improve the service.

Billing information: Payment details are processed by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number on our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and improve the Klaio service
  • Process your documents and generate AI responses
  • Send transactional emails (account confirmation, password reset, billing receipts)
  • Respond to your support requests
  • Enforce our Terms of Service and protect against abuse
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your documents to train AI models. Your content is processed solely to provide answers within your account.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on servers located in the United States. We use industry-standard encryption:

  • In transit: All connections use TLS 1.2 or higher
  • At rest: Documents and database data are encrypted using AES-256
  • Passwords: Hashed using bcrypt with a cost factor of 12

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your data within 30 days, except where required by law.

4. Third-Party Services

Klaio uses the following third-party services:

  • Stripe — payment processing (Stripe Privacy Policy)
  • Google OAuth — optional sign-in (Google Privacy Policy)
  • Notion API — optional integration for importing pages
  • AI provider — document content is sent to our AI provider to generate responses. The provider processes data only to fulfill the request and does not retain or train on it.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your data only in the following circumstances:

  • With service providers who help us operate Klaio (under strict data processing agreements)
  • When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of Klaio, our users, or the public
