Privacy Policy

How we handle your data, audio, and personal information

Vaantra is designed with privacy at its core. Audio is processed in real-time and discarded immediately after transcription. We do not store, record, or share your conference call audio.

Overview

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to specify what type of data VerticalServe Consulting Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively the "Company" or "VerticalServe") collect from users through Vaantra and its associated website, and how that data will be used.

Known as "personal information" or "personally identifiable information," regulated data typically includes anything that can be used to identify an individual and is not limited to a user's name. Personal information may include a user's address, date of birth, contact information, and other identifying details.

VerticalServe is committed to maintaining robust privacy protections for its users. Our Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect, use and safeguard the information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our products, solutions or service.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Site" refers to the Company's website, which can be accessed at vaantra.com. "Service" refers to the Vaantra application and associated products accessed via the Site or installed locally.

Audio & Call Data

Vaantra processes audio from your microphone or conference call in real-time. Here's how we handle this sensitive data:

  • Real-time processing only: Audio chunks are sent for transcription and immediately discarded after the transcript is received.
  • No audio storage: We do not record, store, or retain any audio from your conference calls.
  • Transcripts are ephemeral: Transcripts exist only for the duration of your session and are used solely for question detection and search.
  • Self-hosted option: Vaantra can be deployed on your own infrastructure for maximum data control.

Non-Personal Information includes information that cannot be used to personally identify you, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, and preferences.

Information Collected via Technology

We track information provided by your browser when you use the Service, such as the type of browser you use, the device from which you connected, and the time and date of access. We track this information using cookies or small text files which include an anonymous unique identifier.

How We Use Information

Personal Information

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share your Personal Information with third parties without your consent. We do share Personal Information with vendors performing services for the Company, such as cloud infrastructure providers, only as necessary to deliver the Service.

Third-Party Services

Vaantra integrates with trusted third-party services to provide its functionality:

  • Speech-to-Text: Audio chunks are sent to our transcription provider and processed in real-time. No audio is retained.
  • AI Analysis: Text transcripts (not audio) are analyzed to detect questions. Only the text is processed.
  • Web Search: Detected questions are searched on the web to find answers. Only the question text is sent.
  • Authentication: Google OAuth is used for secure user sign-in.

How We Protect Information

We implement security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. This includes encryption, secure WebSocket connections, and secure server software. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
