10. Client Data and Systems We Access
Our work often needs access to a client’s business systems. Examples are CRM records, customer lists, call logs, email accounts, websites, and automation platforms. That data can contain personal information about the client’s own customers and staff.
We process that data only as the client directs, and only as needed to deliver the agreed services, fix problems, build integrations, provide support, or comply with law. The client stays responsible for that data and for its own privacy notices. The client is also responsible for having the legal right to give us access to any system, data set, or credential.
We return or delete client data at the end of an engagement when the client asks us to, subject to our record-keeping and legal duties.
11. Artificial Intelligence and Automation
Some of our services use artificial intelligence tools, automation platforms, and third-party APIs. When we use these tools, information can pass through third-party systems to do the requested work.
We choose tools and configurations with care. You are responsible for reviewing AI-assisted output, automations, and workflows before you rely on them for production or business-critical decisions.
12. Third-Party Websites and Tools
Our website and our services link to third-party websites, platforms, and tools. We do not control those third parties. We are not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices. Their own terms and privacy policies govern your use of them.
