  • Individuals who interact with an AI intake agent powered by Bowr on a Customer's website ("End Users")

  • Bowr operates as both a data controller (in respect of Customer account information) and a data processor (in respect of End User information collected through our intake conversations on behalf of Customers).

4. How We Use Personal Information

4.1 Customer account information

We use Customer information to:

  • Provide, operate, and improve the Bowr platform and services

  • Process payments and manage billing

  • Send transactional communications including account notifications, receipts, and service updates

  • Provide customer support and respond to enquiries

  • Send marketing communications where you have consented or where permitted by law (you may opt out at any time)

4.2 End User intake data

End User intake data collected through the Bowr widget is used to:

  • Generate structured lead briefs for delivery to the relevant Customer

  • Calculate lead scores and urgency ratings

  • Store conversation transcripts accessible by the Customer through their dashboard

  • Improve the quality and accuracy of our AI intake models (in de-identified or aggregated form only)

We do not use End User personal information for our own marketing purposes, and we do not sell End User data to third parties.

5. Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to:

  • Service providers who assist us in operating our business, including cloud hosting providers, payment processors (Stripe), email delivery services, analytics providers, and customer support tools — all of whom are bound by confidentiality obligations

  • Customers, in respect of End User intake data collected through their Bowr-powered widget

  • Law enforcement or regulatory authorities where required by law or to protect our legal rights

  • Successor entities in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Some of our service providers may be located outside Australia. Where we disclose personal information to overseas recipients, we take reasonable steps to ensure those recipients handle the information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.

6. Sensitive Information

Some End Users may voluntarily disclose sensitive information during intake conversations — including health information, financial circumstances, legal matters, or other personal circumstances. This information is:

  • Collected only as part of the intake conversation on behalf of the relevant Customer

  • Stored securely and accessible only to the relevant Customer through their Bowr dashboard

  • Never used by Bowr for any purpose other than delivering the intake brief to the Customer

  • Never shared with third parties except as required by law

Bowr's AI intake agent is designed to collect only the information necessary to qualify an enquiry. It is not designed or intended to collect sensitive information beyond what is voluntarily and relevantly provided by the End User.

7. Data Security

We take data security seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL

  • Encryption of data at rest

  • Access controls limiting who within our organisation can access personal information

  • Regular security reviews and updates

  • Secure third-party infrastructure (our services are hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure)

  • No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we take all reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or from our services.

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm to individuals, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in accordance with our obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with our legal obligations:

  • Customer account information is retained for the duration of the account and for a period of 7 years following account closure, in accordance with our tax and record-keeping obligations

  • End User intake data (conversation transcripts and briefs) is retained for the duration of the Customer's active account, plus 30 days following account cancellation

  • Marketing communications preferences are retained until you opt out or withdraw consent

  • Technical and usage data is typically retained for 12 months

You may request deletion of your personal information at any time, subject to our legal retention obligations. See Section 11 for how to make such a request.
