5.1 Third-Party AI Processing (OpenAI)
To provide AI-powered email summarization and campaign tracking features, we use OpenAI's API services. When you use our Services, email content from your connected Gmail or Outlook accounts is transmitted to and processed by OpenAI to:
Generate email thread summaries
Extract dates, deliverables, and pricing information
Track negotiation status and next steps
Aggregate campaign-level insights
OpenAI processes this data under a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that prohibits using your data to train their models. Your email content is sent to OpenAI only for the specific purpose of providing these features.
OpenAI processes data in multiple regions globally (United States, Europe, and Asia-Pacific) to provide data residency options for compliance with local regulations.

6. International Transfers
Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the UK or EEA. Where such transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data deletion procedures.

When you delete your account, we export your data for 30-day retention (in case of disputes), then permanently delete all personal information from our systems.
8. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent where applicable. Tessera responds to privacy requests within 30 days of receipt. Requests may be submitted to privacy@usetessera.com.

Controls include encryption in transit and at rest, access control, and regular penetration testing. In the event of a confirmed personal data breach, Tessera will notify affected users without undue delay and no later than seventy-two (72) hours after discovery. While we take reasonable steps, no online system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
