This Policy describes what personal data we collect, the lawful basis for processing, your data subject rights, and how to exercise them. Questions may be directed to privacy@aireachly.com.

1. Data Controller

AiReachly Inc. is the data controller for personal data collected through aireachly.com and related services. Our data protection contact is privacy@aireachly.com. We keep our obligation to appoint a formal Data Protection Officer (Art. 37 GDPR) under ongoing review.

2. Personal Data We Collect

  • Usage & Behavioural Data — pages visited, features used, AI ranking queries, session duration, and click paths, collected automatically.
  • Technical Data — IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and referral URLs.

  • Payment Data — billing name, address, and card details processed by Stripe (PCI-DSS compliant). We do not store full card numbers.
  • AI Interaction Data — queries submitted to our ranking engine, logged in anonymised or pseudonymised form to improve accuracy.

3. Lawful Bases for Processing (Article 6 GDPR)

  • Performance of a Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) — processing necessary to provide the services you registered for, including account management, AI rankings, and billing.
  • Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — security monitoring, fraud prevention, and product analytics, where our interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights.
  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — marketing communications and non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
  • Legal Obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — where retention or disclosure is required under Irish or EU law.

5. Sharing of Personal Data

  • Service Providers — trusted processors (cloud hosting, analytics, email delivery, payment processing) operating under GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreements.
  • AI Model Partners — aggregated, anonymised query data may be shared with model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity) for ranking accuracy. No personally identifiable data is transferred.
  • Legal Disclosures — data may be disclosed to Irish or EU authorities where required by law or court order.
  • Business Transfers — in a merger or acquisition, data may transfer to a successor entity subject to equivalent protections.
  • We do not sell personal data. We do not use personal data for profiling or solely automated decision-making with legal effects (Art. 22 GDPR).

6. International Transfers

Some service providers operate outside the European Economic Area. International transfers rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other approved mechanisms under Chapter V GDPR. A list of countries where our processors operate is available on request.
