Privacy Policy
Last updated: 18 July 2026
KIWIAGENT LTD ("we", "our", "us") operates SmartBuddy (smartbuddy.co.nz). This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information.
The short version
- Your conversations are yours. We don't train AI models on them.
- Isolated by design. Each Buddy runs in its own container — other users can't see your data.
- Data lives in New Zealand. Our infrastructure runs in Aotearoa.
- Delete anytime. Cancel your account and everything associated (Buddy, memory, messages) is deleted.
What we collect
Account information — email, name, hashed password.
Subscription data — plan, billing status. Payments are processed by Stripe; we don't store your credit card.
Conversation content — messages you exchange with your Buddy, stored so it can remember you. Encrypted at rest.
Technical logs — timestamps, error traces, connection metadata for reliability and abuse prevention. Retained 30 days.
How we use it
- To provide the SmartBuddy service.
- To let your Buddy remember you across conversations (that's the whole point).
- To bill and support your subscription.
- To detect abuse (spam, threats, illegal use).
- We do not sell your data. We do not use it to train third-party AI models.
Third-party processors
- Stripe — payments (US / EU / AU).
- Meta (WhatsApp Business Platform) — message transport.
- AI model provider(s) — inference only; no long-term retention of your prompts.
Your rights
- Access, correct, or export your data at any time.
- Delete your account and all data.
- Object to a specific use.
Contact [email protected] for any request. We respond within 30 days.
