Legal

Privacy policy

Pre-launch draft. These policies describe proposed arrangements, not a service operating today. Product behaviour, commercial terms, company details and legal review remain pending. They do not take effect until launch.

This page explains, in plain words, what personal data we handle when you use our website, try our assistant or use our service, and what your rights are.

Who we are

NuTea Limited, trading as Punjabi Labs (“we”, “us”), is a company registered in Ireland, company number [company number, to be added]. Our registered office is [registered office address, to be added].

You can contact us about anything in this policy at contact@punjabilabs.com. We have not appointed a data protection officer, and that address is the right place for privacy questions and requests.

We are the “controller” of the personal data described on this page, except in the situation described in the next section.

What this policy covers

This policy covers personal data of:

  • people who visit this website;
  • people who try our public demo assistant;
  • people who start a free trial or hold an account with us (our customers and their staff);
  • people who write to us.

It does not cover conversations on a customer’s own website. When a business puts our assistant on its website, that business decides why and how its visitors’ data is used, and we handle that data on the business’s behalf as its “processor”, under our data processing terms. The business’s own privacy notice applies to those conversations, and you should ask that business about them.

What we collect, why, and on what basis

The table shows each situation separately. We collect only what we need for the purpose shown.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.

Voice and artificial intelligence

Our assistant is an AI. It says so at the start of every conversation, and it asks before your browser opens the microphone. You can stop at any time and use typing instead.

When you speak, your audio travels from your browser to Google’s Gemini service, which turns it into the assistant’s reply. We use Google’s paid service, under terms in which Google acts as our processor and does not use your prompts or responses to improve its own products. Google keeps prompts and responses for a limited time only to detect misuse and to meet legal duties. We do not record or store your audio.

The assistant does not make decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects. Please do not tell the demo assistant anything sensitive, such as health details, payment card numbers or passwords.

Who we share data with

We share personal data only with providers who help us run the service, and only as far as they need to:

  • Google (Gemini) to generate the assistant’s replies from voice and text;
  • our hosting providers to run this website and our service;
  • Stripe to take payments;
  • an email delivery provider to send account messages and enquiry alerts: [email provider, to be chosen];
  • Telegram, only if a customer chooses to receive enquiry alerts there;
  • professional advisers such as accountants and lawyers, under duties of confidentiality;
  • the authorities, where the law requires it;
  • a successor, if the Punjabi Labs business is transferred to another company, in which case we will tell you and your rights carry over.

The providers that handle our customers’ visitor data are listed on the sub-processors list.

Transfers outside the European Economic Area

Some of our providers, such as Google and Stripe, may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. When that happens we rely on an adequacy decision (for example, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework) or on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, together with the safeguards our providers describe in their own terms.

How long we keep it

DataHow long
Website server logsFor as long as our hosting provider keeps them, normally a few weeks.
Demo conversation records (length, time, language, outcome, usage counts)Up to 30 days, then deleted or made anonymous.

We keep data for a shorter time when it is no longer needed, and for longer only where the law requires it.

Your rights

Under data protection law you have the right to:

  • ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
  • have wrong data corrected, and have data deleted in the cases the law provides for;
  • ask us to restrict how we use your data, or object to uses based on our legitimate interests;
  • receive data you gave us in a portable format, where the law provides for it;
  • withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent. This does not affect what we did before.

To use any of these rights, write to contact@punjabilabs.com. We may need to check who you are first. We will reply without undue delay and in any case within one month, as the law requires.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie, 21 Fitzwilliam Square South, Dublin 2, D02 RD28). We would appreciate the chance to put things right first.

If your data was collected by a business using our assistant on its own website, please contact that business first. If you tell us, we will help pass your request to them.

How we protect data

Connections to our site and service are encrypted. Our secret keys stay on our servers and are never sent to your browser. Each assistant can be used only on the website of the business that set it up, and usage limits stop abuse. Access to customer data is limited to the people who need it. No system is perfectly secure, and if a breach affecting you occurs we will tell you and the regulator as the law requires.

Children

Our service is for businesses, not for children, and we do not knowingly collect children’s personal data. If you believe a child has given us personal data, write to contact@punjabilabs.com and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will change the date at the top of this page and, for customers, tell you by email before the change takes effect.
