Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

CallGenie is an AI-assisted booking platform that helps users find businesses, request appointments, manage booking status, and receive updates through supported communication methods. Depending on the feature used, CallGenie may help place calls, send transactional messages, organize booking information, and show business information to support the user’s request.

This Privacy Policy applies to CallGenie’s website, mobile app, communications, and related services.

CallGenie is currently in early access and may be limited by supported locations, categories, provider availability, business response, and rollout status. Supported features, service areas, and availability may change as the platform develops.

2. Information we collect

We may collect information you provide directly to us, including:

• name, email address, phone number, and account details;
• login, authentication, and account verification information;
• booking details, including service type, requested date, requested time, location, business preference, appointment notes, and special instructions;
• optional profile preferences, such as preferred language, preferred days, preferred time window, distance preference, service preferences, and reminder preferences;
• messages, feedback, support requests, reports, and other information you send to us;
• payment or subscription status information when you purchase a paid feature or plan.

We may also collect information automatically when you use CallGenie, including:

• device type, operating system, browser type, app version, IP address, approximate location, and general log data;
• usage activity, such as searches, views, taps, booking actions, call attempts, SMS actions, status updates, and feature usage;
• diagnostic data, crash logs, performance data, error logs, and security events;
• location data if you allow location access through your device or browser settings.

3. Booking, call, and AI communication data

Because CallGenie helps users manage real-world booking requests, we may collect, process, and store information related to booking activity and communications.

• booking request details, appointment summaries, appointment status, confirmation information, rescheduling details, cancellation details, and booking history;
• business information related to the booking request, such as business name, phone number, location, hours, availability details, and service information;
• call metadata, such as call start time, call end time, call duration, call status, connection status, voicemail status, callback status, and failure reasons;
• call outcomes, notes, summaries, and booking results created during or after an AI-assisted call;
• message delivery status, message replies, confirmation codes, reminder status, and communication logs;
• support history and troubleshooting information related to booking, calling, messaging, or account issues.

If a call is recorded, transcribed, summarized, or processed by AI features, CallGenie may process call audio, transcripts, metadata, summaries, and outcomes to provide the service, confirm booking status, troubleshoot issues, improve reliability, detect abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

CallGenie is designed for routine local booking requests. Users should avoid submitting highly sensitive information unless it is necessary for the requested service. CallGenie should not be used for emergencies, urgent medical needs, legal emergencies, or other high-risk matters.

4. SMS and text messaging

CallGenie may use your phone number to send transactional text messages related to your account and appointment activity. These messages are used to operate the service and keep you updated about actions you request.

SMS messages may include:

• account verification or one-time passcode messages;
• booking request updates;
• appointment confirmations;
• appointment reminders;
• business reply notifications;
• rescheduling or cancellation updates;
• status alerts related to calls, booking attempts, voicemail, callbacks, or SMS confirmation flows;
• customer support or service-related messages.

Message frequency may vary based on your use of CallGenie and your booking activity. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP to opt out of SMS messages. You can reply HELP for help.

CallGenie does not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in data, or SMS consent information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. This restriction also applies to text messaging originator opt-in data and consent. We may share limited information with trusted service providers only as needed to deliver messages, operate the service, provide customer support, maintain security, or comply with law. Those service providers are not allowed to use your SMS consent information for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

5. How we use information

We may use information to:

• create, verify, secure, and manage your account;
• help you search for businesses, services, and appointment options;
• place AI-assisted calls or supported communications on your behalf when you request it;
• request, confirm, update, reschedule, cancel, or track bookings when supported;
• send transactional SMS messages, reminders, confirmations, alerts, and service notices;
• show relevant business information, service details, status updates, and booking history;
• personalize parts of the app experience based on your saved preferences and prior activity;
• improve app reliability, call handling, booking flows, AI quality, and customer support;
• detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, spam, abuse, unauthorized access, and security issues;
• debug errors, monitor performance, maintain infrastructure, and improve service availability;
• enforce our terms, protect rights and safety, and comply with legal obligations.

6. AI features and personalization

CallGenie uses AI-assisted features to help understand user requests, organize booking details, communicate with businesses, summarize outcomes, and improve the booking experience.

We may use booking history, saved preferences, prior interactions, language preferences, app activity, call outcomes, and service data to make CallGenie more useful and reliable. For example, this may help the app remember preferred times, improve booking suggestions, reduce repeated questions, and handle appointment updates more clearly.

We may also use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized information to improve product quality, safety, reliability, and performance. We do not use SMS opt-in data or SMS consent information for third-party marketing.

AI-assisted features may misunderstand, misclassify, or summarize information incorrectly. Users should review important booking details, including business name, date, time, location, service type, and special instructions before relying on them.

7. Location information

If you allow location access, CallGenie may use your location to show nearby businesses, improve search results, support booking flows, estimate distance, and verify service availability by area.

You can control location permissions through your device or browser settings. Some features may not work correctly if location access is turned off.

8. Business information and search results

CallGenie may display business information such as names, phone numbers, addresses, hours, categories, ratings, service details, availability notes, and other public or business-provided information.

Business information may come from public sources, user requests, business communications, service providers, or information businesses provide directly. We try to keep information useful and accurate, but business details may change. Users should review important business and appointment details before relying on them, especially hours, availability, prices, services, addresses, cancellation rules, and confirmation status.

9. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as reasonably needed to provide, operate, protect, or improve CallGenie.

• with businesses you choose to contact, so they can understand and respond to your appointment request;

• as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, business transfer, or sale of all or part of our business, subject to applicable law.

Mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in data, and SMS consent information are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

10. Service providers

CallGenie may use trusted service providers to support technical operations, including calling, SMS delivery, email delivery, hosting, databases, analytics, mapping, authentication, payments, app distribution, security, customer support, and AI processing.

12. Data retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent abuse, support security, and comply with legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, how it is used, legal requirements, user requests, fraud prevention needs, security needs, and operational needs.

No method of storage, transmission, or electronic processing is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect information and improve security over time.

15. Account safety and misuse prevention

CallGenie may monitor usage, booking activity, calls, messages, device activity, and account behavior to detect and prevent spam, fraud, abuse, fake accounts, unauthorized access, policy violations, and misuse of the platform.
