Privacy.
This privacy notice explains how AbteeX AI Labs handles personal information through this website, research inquiries, partnership conversations, and early product discussions. It is drafted for a New Zealand context and should be reviewed before public launch.
1. Our baseline
AbteeX aims to handle personal information consistently with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and the information privacy principles administered by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. The Privacy Act applies to agencies using AI tools in New Zealand, including generative AI uses.
2. Information we may collect
- Contact details you send to us, such as name, email address, organization, role, and message content.
- Information shared during research, partnership, product, or press conversations.
- Basic website and technical information, such as page access, device/browser data, referring page, and security logs if analytics or hosting logs are enabled.
- Information required to investigate abuse, security concerns, or operational issues.
3. How we use information
- To respond to inquiries and maintain a record of correspondence.
- To evaluate research, partnership, and product opportunities.
- To operate, secure, debug, and improve the website and related services.
- To comply with legal, security, and governance obligations.
We do not sell personal information. We do not intend to use personal information submitted through website inquiries as model-training data unless that use has been separately agreed and documented.
4. AI and sensitive information
Please do not send unnecessary personal, clinical, financial, confidential, or culturally sensitive information through general website contact channels. Where sensitive information is required for a research or product discussion, AbteeX expects an appropriate agreement, data handling plan, access controls, and review process before use.
5. Sharing and storage
We may use service providers for hosting, email, security, analytics, document storage, and operational tooling. These providers may process information on our behalf. Where information is transferred or stored outside New Zealand, we aim to consider privacy, security, and contractual safeguards appropriate to the context.
6. Access, correction, and deletion
You may ask to access or correct personal information we hold about you. You may also ask us to delete information where retention is no longer required. We may need to retain some records for security, legal, accounting, or legitimate operational reasons.
