Liyagent Private Limited is a private limited company being incorporated in India. Its Corporate Identity Number and registered office will be published here once issued. A UK company will follow.

The short version. We collect what you send us (a demo request, an email, a privacy request) and the minimum a web server needs to work. We count the steps of a visit in daily totals on our own server, with no cookies and nothing that identifies you. We load third-party tools (LinkedIn Insight Tag) only if you allow them, and nothing else from third parties. We do not sell or share your personal information. When a company runs our software with its own data, that company decides what happens to it and we act on its instructions.

To exercise a right, use the privacy request form or write to privacy@liyagent.com.

01Who we are and how to reach us

The website at liyagent.com, its documentation, the hosted demo and the TicketIQ and Liya agent products are run by Liyagent Private Limited ("Liyagent", "we", "us").

We have not appointed a data protection officer: neither the GDPR nor the DPDP Act requires one for the processing we do. Privacy questions go to the privacy contact above, which is read by the people responsible for privacy at Liyagent.

02Our two roles: controller and processor

Data protection law treats us differently depending on whose data it is and who decides what happens to it.

Where we decide (we are the controller)

We are the controller (a "data fiduciary" under India's DPDP Act, a "business" under California law) for personal data we collect for our own purposes:

This policy is mainly about these.

Where a customer decides (we are the processor)

Companies use our platform (TicketIQ and the Liya agents for IT, HR, SAP and finance) to handle their own employees' and customers' requests. When they do, the customer is the controller and decides what personal data the agents handle and why. If we handle that data at all, we are the customer's processor and act only on its documented instructions, under our Data Processing Addendum. Most customers run the platform in their own cloud or data centre, in which case we do not receive that data at all. See when we act for our customers.

If you are an employee or a customer of one of our customers and have a question about your data in their system, please contact them first. If you contact us, we will pass your request to them and tell you we have done so.

03What we collect and where it comes from

WhatExamplesWhere it comes from
Demo, pilot and design-partner requestsName, work email, company, role (optional), the product you are interested in, the systems you use, and what you would like an agent to doYou, through the request form on our website
CorrespondenceYour email address and name, your signature details, and what you write to us and we write backYou, when you email us
Privacy requestsName, email, how you know us, the right you are exercising, details you give us, whether you confirmed your address, and how we answeredYou, through the request form or by email; our own handling notes
Hosted demo and pilot accountsYour username, role and a salted hash of your password (never the password itself); what you do in the console (recorded in its audit log); what you type to the agents and what they answer; tickets you create; if you use the demo agent in Microsoft Teams, the name, Microsoft account identifier and email address Teams gives usYou, and your organisation when it asks us for an account for you; Microsoft, when you use Teams
Site assistant chat and Agent finderWhat you type and the answers you are givenYou, where the website offers them
Technical dataYour IP address and the request your browser makes; a session cookie when you sign in, and for each signed-in session how you signed in (password or single sign-on), when, and when you last used it (so an inactivity limit can sign you out, and an administrator can see who is signed in and sign a session out)Your browser

What we do not collect. We do not use third-party analytics, session recording or fingerprinting. No advertising or social media tools run unless you allow them in Cookie settings (see cookies). Apart from those tools (LinkedIn Insight Tag), our pages load no scripts, fonts or images from third parties. The visit counts described under cookies stay on our own server. We do not buy personal data or collect it from data brokers. We do not ask for special category data (health, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation and the like) on the website; please do not put any in a form or an email to us.

Server logs. Our web server keeps an access log: for each request, the time, your IP address, the method and page path (never the query string), the response status, its size and how long it took. It never records cookies, sign-in tokens, other request headers or anything you type. We keep it for 12 months for security, to investigate incidents and because India's CERT-In Directions require logs of our systems for at least 180 days. The legal basis is our legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) and our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure (Art. 6(1)(f)). The server also processes your IP address while it answers each request and to limit how often one address can use our forms and sign-in. When you send a form, the request is recorded in our audit log with its time and the network address it came from, but not what you wrote. The application's own logs record errors and the service's operation, not what you type, and are kept for the same 12 months. All of these logs are stored with Amazon Web Services in the Asia Pacific (Sydney) region.

04Why we use it, and our lawful basis

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR (Article 6) we need a lawful basis for each use. Under India's DPDP Act we rely on your consent or on a "legitimate use" (section 7), such as data you gave us voluntarily for a purpose you stated.

PurposeData usedGDPR / UK GDPR basisDPDP Act basis

Remembering your display choices (theme, sidebar) in your own browserLocal storage on your deviceStrictly necessary for a feature you asked for (see cookies)Not personal data we receive

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have weighed them against your interests and rights; you can ask us for that assessment. You are never required to give us personal data; if you do not, we may not be able to answer a request or give you a demo account.

05The site assistant chat and the Agent finder

Parts of the website may offer a site assistant chat (an AI assistant that answers questions about our products) and the Agent finder at /start (which suggests an agent for the work you describe). Where they are offered:

06When we act for our customers

When a customer runs our platform, its agents handle requests from the customer's employees and customers: IT tickets, HR questions, purchasing and invoice look-ups. The customer chooses the systems the agents connect to (for example ServiceNow, Jira, Microsoft Teams, Workday or SAP), the AI models they use, and how long records are kept. The customer's own privacy notice tells you how it uses your data.

If we provide a hosted pilot, support a customer, or otherwise handle that data, we do so as a processor under our Data Processing Addendum: only on the customer's instructions, with confidentiality, the security measures listed in it, and the sub-processors it names. For self-hosted deployments where the customer brings its own AI models, we receive none of that data unless the customer gives us access, for example in a support session.

Sensitive data in HR agents

HR agents can come close to special category data. The platform is built to keep it away from AI models and to put people in charge:

The customer, as controller, decides whether it may process special category data and on what condition (GDPR Article 9).

07AI, automated decisions and labels

Our agents use AI models to classify, route and prioritise requests, find relevant knowledge and draft answers. Agents built on our platform tell people they are an AI assistant whose answers can be wrong (in Microsoft Teams, for example, in the agent's description and its help message), and always offer a way to reach a person by filing a ticket.

Neither we nor our platform make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects (GDPR Article 22). Sensitive HR matters go to people; actions an agent prepares on your behalf wait for your confirmation; and customers can require a person's approval before an agent takes a risky step. A customer that chooses to use the platform for a decision of that kind is responsible, as controller, for the safeguards the law requires.

We do not use your personal data to train AI models of our own. Some AI model providers that answer on our public website and hosted demo (the site assistant chat, the Agent finder and the demo agents) are used on free plans whose terms may let the provider use what is sent to improve its services; that is one more reason not to type personal data into them. The providers are listed on our sub-processors page.

08Who receives your data

We share personal data only with:

We do not sell personal data, rent it, or share it for advertising.

09International transfers

Liyagent is based in India. Our website and hosted demo run on Amazon Web Services in the Asia Pacific (Sydney) region, Australia. Some of our sub-processors are in the United States. So personal data you send us may be handled in India, Australia and the United States.

The European Commission and the UK have not found these countries to provide adequate protection, except for US companies certified to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (and its UK Extension). Where personal data from the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland is transferred to a recipient without such a finding, we use the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (with the UK Addendum for UK data), or the Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified, together with the security measures described below. You can ask us for a copy of the relevant safeguards at privacy@liyagent.com.

Under India's DPDP Act, personal data may be transferred outside India except to a country the Government of India restricts; we will follow any such restriction.

10How long we keep it

We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purposes above, then delete it. The periods below are the ones our software applies automatically, every day, unless a legal hold requires us to keep something longer.

DataHow long
Demo, pilot and design-partner requests24 months from receipt, then deleted; the IP address kept with a request is blanked after 90 days
Privacy requests and how we answered them3 years from receipt once the request is closed (as evidence we handled it), then deleted; the IP address is blanked after 90 days
Correspondence with usWhile the conversation is active and for up to 24 months after our last contact, unless it becomes part of a contract
Hosted demo: conversations with agents90 days
Hosted demo: the record of how each ticket was processed, and agent telemetry12 months and 14 days respectively
Hosted demo: answer records and unanswered-question reports90 days and 90 days
Hosted demo: tickets, attachments and accountsFor as long as your evaluation continues; we delete them when it ends or when you ask
Audit log (security and accountability record)12 months
Web server access log and the service's operational logs (see server logs)12 months, then deleted
Consent receipts: a record of each cookie choice, with no IP address or browser details (see cookies)2 years, then deleted
Sign-in session, with when it began and was last used12 hours, or until you sign out, an administrator signs it out, or it goes unused for longer than an inactivity limit the administrator sets (none by default); then deleted within 10 minutes

Data in backups is deleted as the backups are replaced. In customer deployments the customer sets these periods; our defaults are shown in our documentation.

11How we protect it

We use technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including:

No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your personal data and is likely to put you at risk, we will tell you and the relevant authorities as the law requires.

12Your rights

If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, you have these rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR. We extend them to everyone, wherever you are.

How to exercise them

Use the privacy request form or email privacy@liyagent.com. We will email you a link to confirm the address is yours before we act, so that nobody else can obtain or delete your data. We answer within one month (30 days) of receiving your request. If a request is complex or one of many, we may extend this by up to two further months; we will tell you why within the first month. We do not charge, unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

If your request is about a customer's deployment of our platform, we will forward it to that customer (the controller) and help it answer you.

13If you are in India (DPDP Act 2023)

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its Rules, you have the right to:

Grievance Officer. [to be published], at privacy@liyagent.com, or through the privacy request form (choose "DPDP grievance"). We aim to answer every grievance within 30 days, well inside the period the DPDP Rules allow. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

You may ask for this notice in English or in any language listed in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India.

14If you are in California (CCPA/CPRA)

This section is our notice at collection under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, to the extent it applies to us.

15Children

Our website, demo and products are for businesses and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16 (or under 18 in India). If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact privacy@liyagent.com and we will delete it.

16Cookies and local storage

We use no optional cookies without your consent. With your consent, and only then, the public website loads these tools: LinkedIn Insight Tag (see below). A banner asks first. Accept and Decline carry equal weight, and Manage choices lets you decide category by category. Nothing optional loads until you allow its category. Everything else our pages store is strictly necessary, remembers a choice you made on your own device, or counts visits in daily totals as described below.

Categories. We group cookies and similar storage by what they are for.

Necessary
Keep the site working and secure, and remember the choices you make here. Always on.
Functional
Remember things that make the site easier to use beyond what it strictly needs, such as your preferences from one visit to the next. We do not use any at present.
Analytics
Help us understand how people use the site, so we can improve it. We do not use any at present.
Marketing
Measure how well our ads work, for example whether people who saw one later visited the site or booked a demo. Off unless you turn it on. Used by: LinkedIn Insight Tag.

Counting visits, not visitors. To see which parts of the public website work, its pages count the steps of a visit (for example, that a visit reached the Agent finder's blueprint or booked a demo). Each count carries the step, the page's address, the campaign named in the link you arrived by, which version of a page you were shown, and a random identifier for the visit that your browser keeps in the tab's session storage. We store only daily totals: the identifier is kept only as a code that changes every day and is deleted after 30 days, and never with your IP address, your browser's details or anything you typed. The totals are kept for 13 months. Nothing else in local or session storage is sent to us.

Use Cookie settings at the foot of our pages at any time. Turning a category off stops its tools loading from the next page, and removes the cookies they set on this site. Cookies a third party set on its own domain can only be cleared in your browser.

We keep your choice in your browser for 180 days, then ask again. We also ask again when we add a tool or move one to another category, so a choice always covers what we actually use.

Global Privacy Control

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a refusal of every optional category. We do not show the banner and load nothing optional, unless you open Cookie settings and turn a category on yourself.

Each time you make a choice, your browser sends us a receipt: a random receipt number made in your browser, the categories you allowed, the version of this list of tools, and whether your browser sent Global Privacy Control. We add the time. We do not store your IP address or browser details with it, so a receipt does not identify you. It lets us show what was agreed and when. Your browser keeps the receipt number with your choice. We keep receipts for 2 years, then delete them.

You can clear cookies and local storage in your browser settings at any time. Blocking them does not affect the public pages; you cannot sign in to the console without the session cookie.

17Changes to this policy

We will update this policy when what we do changes. The date at the top says when it last changed. If a change materially affects how we use personal data we already hold, we will tell the people affected (for example, by email) before it takes effect. Changes to our sub-processors are announced on the sub-processors page.

18Contact and complaints

Email privacy@liyagent.com, use the privacy request form, or write to Liyagent Private Limited, [to be published].

If you are unhappy with how we handled your data, please tell us first and we will try to put it right. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority:
