1. Who We Are

PickupAI ("we", "us", "our") is operated by PickupAI ABN XX XXX XXX XXX, based in New South Wales, Australia. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information when you use our AI phone answering service.

2. Information We Collect

• Billing records: retained for 7 years as required by Australian tax law.

7. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (TLS), hashed passwords, webhook signature verification, and access controls. Despite our efforts, no system is perfectly secure — we encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your credentials private.

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements)
