Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 17, 2026  ·  Last Updated: April 21, 2026

🔒 AIDA is available as both a self-hosted product and a cloud-hosted service (AIDA Cloud). When you run AIDA on your own server, your data stays on your server — Autafy never has access to your emails, calendar events, files, or conversations. For AIDA Cloud users, your data is stored securely on Autafy-managed servers in accordance with this policy.

1. Who We Are

Autafy ("we," "us," or "our") provides AI automation software and services, including AIDA — a self-hosted personal AI agent. We are based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Contact: hello@autafy.ca

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide our services:

  • Account Information: Your name and email address when you register or contact us
  • Payment Information: Billing details processed securely through Stripe — we never store your full card number
  • License Information: Your license key, plan type, and activation date
  • Support Communications: Emails or messages you send to hello@autafy.ca
  • Website Analytics: Basic, anonymized usage data (page views, referral sources) to improve autafy.ca

AIDA Cloud users only: When you use AIDA Cloud (aidacloud.autafy.ca), your AI conversation history, connected service tokens, and agent configuration are stored on Autafy-managed servers. You may also connect third-party services (Google, Microsoft) whose data is processed on your behalf as described in Section 5.

Self-hosted users: We do not collect your emails, calendar events, tasks, files, or AI conversation history — these stay entirely on your own server.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, activate, and support your AIDA license
  • To process payments and send billing receipts
  • To respond to support requests and questions
  • To send product updates and important service notices (you can opt out anytime)
  • To improve our website and service offerings

We never sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Data Storage & Security

Self-hosted AIDA: All your AI agent data — emails, calendar, files, conversations — is stored exclusively on your own server. Autafy has zero access to this data.

AIDA Cloud: Your account data, conversation history, and agent configuration are stored on Autafy-managed servers located in Canada. OAuth access tokens for connected services (Google, Microsoft) are encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption. Autafy staff do not access your personal data except when required to resolve a technical support issue you have requested.

All instances: We use TLS encryption for all data in transit. We retain your account data for as long as your account is active, or as required by law. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by emailing hello@autafy.ca.

5. Third-Party Services

  • Stripe: Payment processing. Subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy
  • Anthropic API: Powers AIDA's AI responses when you bring your own API key. Subject to Anthropic's Privacy Policy
  • Google / Microsoft: If you connect these services to AIDA, they are governed by their own privacy policies. See Section 5a below for full details.

5a. Google API Services — Limited Use Disclosure

AIDA's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

When you choose to connect your Google account to AIDA, we request access to the following Google services solely to perform actions on your behalf that you explicitly request:

  • Gmail: To read, send, reply to, and manage your emails when you ask AIDA to do so (e.g. "Send an email to John", "What's in my inbox?")
  • Google Calendar: To read, create, update, and delete calendar events when you ask AIDA to manage your schedule
  • Google Drive: To search, read, create, move, and delete files when you ask AIDA to manage your documents
  • Google Docs & Sheets: To create and edit documents and spreadsheets on your behalf
  • Google Tasks: To read, create, update, and complete tasks when you ask AIDA to manage your to-do list
  • Google Contacts: To look up contact information when composing emails or calendar invites on your behalf

We only access your Google data to provide the AI assistant features you explicitly request. We do not:

  • Use your Google data to serve advertisements
  • Sell your Google data to third parties
  • Use your Google data to train AI or machine learning models
  • Share your Google data with any third parties except as necessary to operate the service (e.g. your chosen LLM API provider processes your prompt text but not your raw Google data)
  • Allow humans to read your Google data unless you have explicitly requested support and consented to access for that purpose

Your Google OAuth tokens are stored encrypted on our servers (AIDA Cloud) or your own server (self-hosted) and are used solely to fulfil your requests within AIDA. You can disconnect your Google account at any time from the Settings page, which immediately deletes your stored tokens.

6. PIPEDA Compliance

Autafy complies with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). We collect, use, and disclose personal information only with your knowledge and consent, for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@autafy.ca.

8. Cookies

autafy.ca uses minimal cookies — only what's necessary for the website to function. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. AIDA (the self-hosted application) does not use cookies.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. We'll notify you of significant changes by email or by posting a notice on autafy.ca. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
