Privacy policy

Orchelix AI Consulting Inc. builds AI agents that answer phones, qualify leads, and book appointments for other businesses. This page explains what personal information we handle, why, who else touches it, and what you can ask us to do with it — in plain language.

We never sell it
Personal information is not sold, rented, or used for advertising

Esmi records and transcribes calls for the business you called

Who we are

"Orchelix", "we", and "us" mean Orchelix AI Consulting Inc. We play two different roles, and which one applies depends on who you are.

Visitors & prospects
When you browse orchelix.com, book a pilot, or contact us, we decide what is collected and why. This policy governs that information.
Our clients
When a business signs up for Esmi or another agent, we hold its account details and the settings it configures. This policy and the client's agreement with us both apply.
People who call our clients
When you call or message a business that uses Esmi, we process the conversation on that business's behalf and under its instructions. That business is responsible for telling you how it uses your information; we help it honour your requests.

What we collect, and why

Information you give us

Forms
Name, email, company, phone, the use case you pick, and your message — when you book a pilot or contact us. Used to reply, schedule, and prepare a proposal.
Ad forms
If you submit a lead form on Facebook or Instagram, Meta passes us the fields you entered so we can call you back.
Client accounts
Name, work email, business name, and team members, for the dashboard. Sign-in is handled by Clerk.
Payment
The pilot fee is paid through Stripe. Stripe receives your card details; we see only the confirmation, amount, and contact details.
Business setup
Hours, services, pricing ranges, FAQs, and calendar connections a client gives Esmi so it can answer for them.

Information collected as the service runs

Calls
Caller phone number, the recording, a transcript, the reason for the call, and the outcome — booked, routed, answered, or closed.
Messages
Text messages and web-chat conversations Esmi sends or receives for a client, including the demo chat on this site.
Appointments
The name, time, and details needed to place a booking on the client's calendar.
Site analytics
Pages viewed, referring site, device and browser type, and country — through Vercel Analytics, which sets no cookies and does not follow you to other sites.
Security logs
IP address and request details our hosting keeps briefly to run and protect the service.
Notifications
If a client turns on dashboard alerts, a browser push subscription so we can deliver them.

We use this information to run the service a client has asked for, answer and follow up on inquiries, schedule and bill, secure our systems, fix problems, and meet legal obligations. We do not ask for health information, government ID numbers, or card numbers, and we ask clients not to configure Esmi to collect them.

Calls, recording & AI

Esmi is an AI assistant, not a person. It answers in English or Spanish (French where a client adds it), and every conversation is written down so the business can review what happened.

Disclosure
Esmi can open each call by saying it is an AI assistant and that the call is recorded. The client chooses the greeting and is responsible for giving the notice its location requires — some places, including Florida, require the consent of everyone on the call.
Language models
To understand callers and reply, conversation text is processed by AI model providers under contract with us. They process it to produce a response; we do not permit it to be sold or used for advertising.
Human control
The client can review, correct, override, or delete any record, and can transfer a caller to a person.
Retention
Recordings and transcripts are kept for the period the client configures, then deleted. See Retention below for defaults.

Who we share it with

We share personal information only with the business a conversation belongs to, with the service providers below that help us run Orchelix, and when the law requires it. If Orchelix is ever merged or sold, information would transfer under the same protections, and we would tell clients first.

What they may do with it

Each provider receives only what its job needs and is bound by contract to use it for that job alone. None of them may sell it or use it to advertise to you. Calendar providers a client connects — Google, Microsoft 365, Calendly, or Acuity — receive the appointment details needed to book.

When a client connects Google services, our use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

PIPEDA & where data lives

For people in Canada we follow the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and provincial privacy law where it applies. In the United States we follow the federal and state laws that apply to us.

Accountability
A named Privacy Officer answers for this policy
Consent
We rely on your express or implied consent, which you may withdraw, subject to legal and contractual limits
Limited purpose
We collect only what the service needs, for the purposes stated here
Cross-border
Most of our providers store and process data in the United States, so information about Canadians may be accessible to US authorities under US law. Canadian data residency is available to clients on request.
Complaints
You may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca

Security & retention

How we protect it

In transit
Encrypted with TLS
Access
Role-based, with each client's data isolated to its own organization
Secrets
Platform keys stay on the server and never reach the browser
Review
Production systems are reviewed regularly
Incidents
If a breach puts you at real risk of significant harm, we will notify you and the regulators the law requires

No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim third-party certifications we have not completed. Clients can ask for our current controls during a pilot.

How long we keep it

Calls & texts
For the period the client sets, then deleted
Web chat
90 days by default
Inquiries
As long as the conversation is active, and up to two years after, unless you ask us to delete sooner
Client accounts
For the life of the account, then deleted or anonymized
Contracts & billing
Seven years, as Canadian tax and accounting rules require

Your rights & choices

Access
Ask what personal information we hold about you and how it has been used
Correction
Ask us to fix anything inaccurate or incomplete
Deletion
Ask us to delete it, where the law and our obligations allow
Withdraw
Withdraw consent to a use, or unsubscribe from any email
Complain
To us first, and to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or your state regulator

Email privacy@orchelix.com. We will confirm who you are, then answer within 30 days. If you called one of our clients, you can ask that business directly or ask us — we will pass your request to the business and help it respond.

Cookies
The public site sets no advertising or tracking cookies. The dashboard uses the essential cookies Clerk needs to keep you signed in.
Children
Our services are for businesses. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16; if we learn we have, we delete it.
Changes
When this policy changes, we update the date at the top. If a change is material, we tell clients by email before it takes effect.
