Deployment model

Cloud deployment

For the cloud service, Whispa stores customer content in AWS Australia and generally handles that content on behalf of the business customer that uses the service.

Deployment model

Self-hosted deployment

For self-hosted deployments, Whispa does not receive or store customer production data unless the customer voluntarily sends us support materials.

01

Scope and roles

This policy covers personal information relating to business contacts, users of our website or demo environments, users of our cloud service, and people whose information may appear in support materials sent to us.

  • Website, sales, support, and billing: Whispa Operations Pty Ltd decides how this information is handled and is responsible for it under this policy.
  • Cloud customer content: Whispa generally handles call content and related records on behalf of the relevant business customer so that we can provide the contracted service.
  • Customer responsibilities: Our customers are responsible for deciding what information they submit to Whispa and for providing any required notices, consents, and disclosures to call participants and other individuals, including disclosures required for recorded or regulated calls.
  • Self-hosted deployments: The self-hosted customer controls production data and is responsible for the privacy and compliance position for that deployment.
02

Information we collect

Website, sales, support, and accounts

  • Business contact details: Name, work email address, phone number, company name, job title, and other information you provide when you contact us, request a demo, or subscribe to updates.
  • Account and workspace details: User account details, login identifiers, organisation information, and administrative settings for demo, trial, or production environments.
  • Support and communications: Emails, support requests, meeting notes, feedback, and files you choose to send to us.
  • Billing and commercial records: Invoice contact details, billing addresses, payment status, bank transfer references, and related records maintained through manual invoicing and Xero. We do not currently operate a self-serve card billing flow.
  • Technical and usage information: IP address, device and browser information, timestamps, authentication events, product usage events, and security or diagnostic logs.

Cloud service customer content

  • Customer content: Call audio, transcripts, summaries, coaching reports, compliance assessments, and related call metadata processed through the cloud service.
  • Call audio storage: Call audio is stored only where a customer explicitly enables or requests that storage.
  • Transcript handling: Transcripts stored by Whispa in the cloud service are redacted.
  • Sensitive information: Customer content may include financial information and regulated call recordings, and may contain other sensitive information depending on how our customers use the service.
  • CRM data: We do not store a copy of a customer's CRM database merely because a customer uses CRM workflows or integrations, except to the extent information is separately included in customer content, exported reports, support materials, or other records intentionally provided to us.

Self-hosted deployments

  • For self-hosted deployments, Whispa does not receive or store customer production data. The customer controls the infrastructure, storage, retention settings, and compliance position for production use.
  • If a self-hosted customer voluntarily sends us logs, screenshots, sample records, or other material for support, those support materials are handled under this Privacy Policy.
03

Data hosting and overseas processing

Australian storage

For cloud deployments, customer content is stored in AWS Australia. We currently focus on Australian business customers.

Overseas processing

Although we aim to keep stored customer content in Australia, some service providers may process information outside Australia, including when we use AI, analytics, error monitoring, or communications providers that operate in other jurisdictions.

Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure recipients protect it in a manner consistent with Australian privacy requirements.

06

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain appropriate business and security records. Retention for cloud customer content can be configured by agreement, customer settings, or documented instructions.

  • Business contact and sales records: Retained for the duration of the relationship and up to 24 months afterwards, unless a longer period is required by law or needed to manage an active dispute or request.
  • Billing and accounting records: Generally retained for 7 years to meet tax, accounting, and record-keeping obligations.
  • Support requests and support materials: Generally retained for up to 24 months after the matter is closed, unless we need to keep them longer for security, legal, or contractual reasons.
  • Application, access, and security logs: Generally retained for 90 days, with longer retention where reasonably required for incident response, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.
  • Backups: Rolling backups are typically retained for up to 35 days before deletion or overwrite.
  • Cloud call audio: If audio storage is enabled by the customer, the default retention period is 30 days unless a different period is configured or agreed in writing.
  • Cloud transcripts, summaries, coaching outputs, and call metadata: The default retention period is 12 months, but retention is configurable and may be adjusted by contract, deployment settings, or documented customer instructions.
  • Deletion after termination: Unless we are required to keep information by law, we aim to delete or de-identify remaining cloud customer content within 30 days after termination of the applicable service, subject to any agreed export period and residual backup retention.
07

Security

  • encryption in transit and encryption at rest for supported data stores and services
  • role-based access controls and least-privilege access practices
  • authentication safeguards, administrative controls, and environment segregation
  • logging and monitoring to detect misuse, faults, and security incidents
  • backup and recovery controls
  • incident response processes, including escalation and breach assessment where required

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, and disclosure.
