This policy is compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 (DPA 2019).

5. LLM & AI Processing
Where we use third-party Large Language Models (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4o) to process your operational data:
- We operate under zero-retention agreements — your prompts and completions are not used to train third-party models.
- For regulated industries, we offer self-hosted LLM deployment on your own VPC, meaning data never leaves your environment.
- Embeddings stored in vector databases (e.g., Pinecone) are stored in your assigned namespace only and are never shared across tenants.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with:
- Service Providers: Stripe (payments), Pinecone (vector storage), Google Cloud (hosting), n8n (workflow orchestration) — bound by Data Processing Agreements.
- Legal Authorities: Where required by law, court order, or to protect the rights of BazzAI or its users.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide Services. Upon termination:
- Account data is deleted within 90 days of account closure.
- Operational pipeline data is purged within 30 days upon written request.
- Financial records are retained for 7 years per Kenyan tax law requirements.
