#Vatio Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Wolf Technology SpA (“Vatio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the operator of the Vatio AI agent platform (vatio.ai and related subdomains, the “Service”), collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal data when you:

This policy is written to satisfy the requirements of the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the privacy-disclosure requirements Meta Platforms, Inc. imposes on businesses using the WhatsApp Business Platform (the “WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy” and Meta’s Platform Terms). If your local law provides additional rights, those rights apply to you as well.


#1. Who we are — controller and processor roles

Vatio is a platform that lets Workspace Owners (our business customers) configure and deploy AI agents that talk to the Workspace Owner’s own end users over WhatsApp and web chat.

Because of that structure, we act in two different legal capacities, and the role we play determines who you should contact with a request:

If you are an End User and are unsure who the Workspace Owner is for a conversation you had, ask the business you were messaging, or contact us at the address in Section 13 and we will direct your request appropriately.


#2. Data we collect

#2.1 Platform Users (developers, admins)

CategoryExamplesSource
Account identifiersEmail address, display name, roleYou, or Google/GitHub OAuth
Authentication dataOne-time-password codes, OAuth identifiers (provider + uid), CLI device-authorization tokens, API tokensYou, Google, GitHub
Session & security logsIP address, user-agent string, session timestampsAutomatically, on every request
API activity logsRequest parameters, response metadata, forwarded-for headersAutomatically, when you use our API
Coding-agent sessions you choose to sendThe Claude Code session sent with vatio share-session: what you asked, what your coding agent ran and was shown, and any feedback you add. Keys, tokens, email addresses and phone numbers with a country code are replaced on your machine before it is sentYou, only after you confirm

#2.2 End Users / Contacts (people chatting with an agent)

CategoryExamplesSource
IdentifiersWhatsApp phone number and profile display name, or name/email/phone provided in web chatYou, via WhatsApp or the chat widget
Conversation contentText messages, and any images, audio, video, or documents you send or receiveYou, via WhatsApp or web chat
Message metadataMessage IDs, timestamps, delivery/read status, error codesAutomatically, from WhatsApp/Meta infrastructure
Authentication evidenceWhere a Workspace Owner has connected its own login/identity system, profile attributes it supplies to authenticate you (e.g., verified account status)The Workspace Owner’s own systems
AI processing dataThe model’s response, and (where applicable) intermediate reasoning generated by the AI model to produce that responseGenerated automatically when your message is processed

#2.3 Everyone

CategoryExamplesSource
Error/diagnostic dataStack traces, request context, and — in production — IP address and other request metadataAutomatically, via our error-monitoring tool
Cookies / local storageSession identifiers needed to operate the web chat widget and the PlatformAutomatically
Website usage dataPage visited, referrer, screen size, browser, operating system, and approximate country. No cookies, no identifier stored on your device, and nothing that identifies you personallyAutomatically, on our marketing and documentation pages only (see Section 11)

We do not intentionally collect special categories of data (health, biometric, religious, political, or similar data) about End Users. Because agents are configured by Workspace Owners, we ask Workspace Owners not to design agents that solicit special category data unless they have an independent, documented legal basis and appropriate safeguards for doing so.


PurposeData usedLegal basis
Create and administer Platform User accountsAccount identifiers, authentication dataPerformance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b))
Operate the AI agent runtime — receive, process, and respond to messagesConversation content, identifiers, message metadataPerformance of a contract with the Workspace Owner (as processor) / contract or legitimate interest as controller where we are the business messaged
Route your message to an AI model to generate a responseConversation contentPerformance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b))
Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and security incidentsSession logs, API logs, error/diagnostic dataLegitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — keeping the Service secure
Maintain and improve the Service (debugging, reliability)Error/diagnostic data, aggregated usage dataLegitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f))
Comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requestsAny of the above, as requiredLegal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c))
Send you service or transactional communicationsEmail addressPerformance of a contract / legitimate interests
Where you have opted in to receive messages initiated by a business (e.g., WhatsApp template/marketing messages)Phone number, nameConsent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — withdrawable at any time

We do not use End User conversation data to train AI models unless a Workspace Owner has separately and explicitly opted in to that use, and even then only after removing or with the End User’s informed consent, as required by applicable law.

The AI model providers that process conversation content keep none of it and train on none of it: every request is routed only to endpoints with zero data retention (see Section 5).

Automated decision-making. Your messages are processed by an AI system to generate a response, which is a form of automated processing. We do not use this processing to make decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning you without the possibility of human review. If a Workspace Owner configures an agent to take an automated action that does have such effects for you, you have the right to request human intervention, express your point of view, and contest that decision by contacting us or the Workspace Owner.


#4. The WhatsApp Business Platform and Meta

We use the WhatsApp Business Platform, operated by Meta Platforms, Inc. and its affiliates (“Meta”), to send and receive messages with End Users. By messaging an agent on WhatsApp, you should be aware that:


#5. Who we share data with (sub-processors)

We share personal data only as necessary to operate the Service, and always under contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations. Our current sub-processors are:

Sub-processorPurposeLocation (data processed)
Meta Platforms, Inc.WhatsApp Business Platform messagingUnited States / global (Meta infrastructure)
Together Computer, Inc. (Together AI), on an account with zero data retentionGenerating AI responsesUnited States
OpenRouter, Inc., and the AI model providers it routes each request to, only on endpoints with zero data retention: independent inference providers for open-weight models (DeepSeek), Google (Gemini), Mistral AI (Voxtral), Microsoft Azure (OpenAI embeddings) and Typesafe. The current models are listed at vatio.ai/docs/modelGenerating AI responses, transcribing voice notes, describing videos, reading documents and searching knowledgeUnited States, the European Union and other countries, depending on the endpoint
Amazon Web Services (AWS)Cloud file storage (Amazon S3) for message media and attachments; transactional email delivery (Amazon SES)United States, South America (see Section 7)
DigitalOcean, LLCApplication hosting and managed database hostingUnited States (New York City datacenter)
Cloudflare, Inc.CDN, TLS termination, DDoS protectionGlobal network
Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.)Error monitoring and diagnosticsUnited States
Google LLCOAuth sign-in for Platform UsersUnited States
GitHub, Inc. (Microsoft)OAuth sign-in for Platform UsersUnited States

We do not sell personal data, and we do not share personal data with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

We may also disclose personal data: to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or lawful government request; to enforce our terms; to protect the rights, property, or safety of Vatio, our users, or the public; or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to continued protection of your data under this policy or a substantially similar one.


#6. Data retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, then delete or anonymize it.

DataRetention
Platform User account dataUntil account deletion, plus 30 days
Conversation content (messages, media)For the duration of the Workspace Owner’s active relationship with us; if the Workspace Owner’s account is closed, retained for 30 days and then purged, unless the Workspace Owner requests earlier deletion. A Workspace Owner can also set a retention period (30, 90, 180 or 365 days) on the Workspace’s Security page; conversations with no new message for that long are then deleted automatically, along with contacts left with no conversation
WhatsApp preview test data (unverified numbers and OTPs)Automatically deleted 24 hours after an abandoned/expired verification attempt
Responses from the Workspace Owner’s backend to the agent’s tool callsEncrypted and cut to 4 KB, deleted 30 days after the call; the call’s status, duration and outcome are kept with the Workspace
Session, API access, and security logs90 days, deleted automatically. The logs of our internal support tools record which records were read, never their content
Coding-agent sessions sent with vatio share-sessionRead only by the Vatio team, through an internal tool that logs every read; deleted 30 days after they arrive. Who sent one, when, and the feedback with it are kept
Activity log of a Workspace (who signed in, opened a conversation, or changed a setting or credential)1 year
Background jobs, including the payloads messaging channels send usDeleted 1 day after the job finishes
Error-monitoring data (Sentry)Per Sentry’s default retention, currently up to 90 days; as of this version we no longer send IP addresses, cookies, or request headers to Sentry by default
BackupsRolling 30-day backup window

We will delete or anonymize data sooner where an End User or Platform User validly exercises a deletion right under Section 8, unless we are required or permitted by law to retain it longer (e.g., for legal claims or regulatory obligations).


#7. International data transfers

We and our sub-processors are located in multiple countries, including the United States. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries that have not been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection.

Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards recognized under GDPR, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, or on our sub-processors’ own certified compliance mechanisms (e.g., Meta’s and AWS’s Standard Contractual Clauses with their customers). You can request a copy of the relevant safeguard by contacting us at the address in Section 13.

[ACTION ITEM]: Confirm Standard Contractual Clauses (or equivalent) are executed with every sub-processor in the table in Section 5 before relying on this section.


#8. Your rights

If GDPR or another applicable data-protection law grants you rights over your personal data, you have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using Section 13. If your request concerns a conversation with a specific business’s AI agent, we may need to verify your identity and may direct part of the request to the relevant Workspace Owner where they are the controller, per Section 1.

Workspace Owners can also act on an End User’s access, portability and erasure requests themselves: the inbox, the Vatio CLI and the Vatio MCP export everything Vatio keeps about one contact as a file, and delete it permanently.

We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally one month under GDPR, extendable by two further months for complex requests).


#9. Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including encryption of data in transit (TLS), access controls, and monitoring for security incidents. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Conversation text, contacts’ phone numbers and email addresses, what the agent remembers about a person, tool-call arguments and the cases made from flagged replies are encrypted at rest. Vatio staff do not see conversation content or contact details in any Workspace unless its owner grants time-limited support access. Every such access, and every read made under it, is recorded in that Workspace’s activity log, where its owner can see it.

If we become aware of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the competent supervisory authority and, where required, affected individuals, in accordance with applicable law.


#10. Children’s privacy

The Service is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from, children under 16 (or the minimum age required by your local law and by WhatsApp’s own Terms of Service, if higher). Workspace Owners are responsible for ensuring their own use of the Service complies with applicable children’s privacy laws (e.g., not deploying agents targeted at children without appropriate safeguards). If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.


#11. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website and embedded web chat widget use strictly necessary cookies or local storage to maintain your session and enable the chat to function. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not track you across other websites.

Our marketing pages (vatio.ai) and our documentation (vatio.ai/docs) use Umami, a privacy-preserving analytics tool we host ourselves on our own infrastructure — your visit is not shared with a third-party analytics company. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. It records the page visited, the referring site, your screen size, browser, operating system and approximate country, and counts a visit without building a profile of you or following you across sites. We use this to understand which pages are read, not who reads them.


#12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version at this URL with a new “Last updated” date, and where changes are material, we will provide additional notice (e.g., by email to Platform Users or a notice on the Service).


#13. Contact us

Wolf Technology SpA Antonio Bellet 193, Of. 1210, Providencia, Región Metropolitana, Chile Privacy inquiries: dpo@vatio.ai

As of this version, Vatio’s users and End Users are located across North, Central, and South America, with no operations or users in the EU, UK, or Switzerland — so an Art. 27 GDPR representative is not currently required.

Wolf Technology SpA has not appointed a Data Protection Officer, as none is currently required under applicable law given the scale and nature of our processing. Privacy inquiries, including any that would otherwise go to a DPO, should be directed to the contact above.
