How we use personal information

Provision of the Services. It is in our legitimate interests to operate and allow you to use our Services, or to register your interest in using our AI Agent. When we provide such Services under our API Licence Terms, we use your personal information to perform our contractual obligations. For example, we generate Actions based on your Inputs, both of which may contain personal information. In addition, we may use your personal information, including that contained in Actions, when we provide, operate, maintain, secure, and improve our Services and respond to your requests, questions, and feedback, including providing support to you in relation to our Services.

Train our algorithms, and otherwise for research and development. Our AI Agent is trained on your and other users’ Inputs and Actions (which are otherwise separated from any identifying user data, such as your user ID, so we cannot identify you as the origin of the Input or Action). It is in our legitimate interests to train our AI Agent to improve our Services for you and other users, and otherwise to use your personal information for research and development. As part of these activities, we may create aggregated, de-identified, or other anonymous data from personal information we collect. We may use this anonymous data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyse and improve the Services and promote our business.

Enrichment. It is in our legitimate interests to use personal information we obtain from third parties to enrich and verify personal information we process about you.

To monitor and analyse trends and use of our Services, and to improve our Services. It is in our legitimate interests to analyse the use of our Services, and to use your personal information to improve our existing Services and create new products and services.

Direct marketing. We may send you direct marketing communications as permitted by law via email and other means. Where you tag H Company on social media, we may reach out to you, including to request information from you about your experience and interactions with H Company. Except where consent is required, we do so where it is in our legitimate interests to market to you. You may opt out of our marketing communications as described in the “Opt out of marketing communications” section below.

Interest-based advertising. We engage our advertising partners, including third-party advertising companies and social media companies, to display ads around the web. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information (including the automatically collected data described above) about your interactions over time across our Services, our communications, and other online services, and use that information to serve online ads that may interest you. Where required by law, we will undertake such advertising activities on the basis of your consent; otherwise, we will do so only if it is in our legitimate business interests to undertake such activities.

Compliance and protection, including:

  • To comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process, such as to respond to requests from government authorities.
  • In our legitimate interests to protect our, your, or others’ rights, privacy, safety, or property (including by making and defending legal claims).
  • Auditing our internal processes for compliance with legal and contractual requirements and internal policies. Where we do not have a legal obligation, we do so in our legitimate interests.
  • Enforce the terms and conditions that govern our Services.
