Privacy Policy

Effective: March 12, 2026Last updated: March 12, 2026
WellAI is committed to protecting your privacy and the privacy of the individuals you care for. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect personal information when you use our services. We comply with applicable data protection laws including PIPEDA (Canada) and align with HIPAA standards for health-related data.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for the following purposes:

  • Service Delivery: To conduct scheduled check-ins, analyze responses, generate wellness reports, and deliver alerts
  • Account Management: To create and manage your account, process payments, and provide customer support
  • Safety and Alerts: To detect distress signals and notify designated caregivers and emergency contacts
  • Service Improvement: To improve our AI models and enhance features using aggregated, de-identified data only
  • Communications: To send service-related notifications, billing receipts, and important account updates
  • Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes

3. SMS and Voice Data

Given the nature of our service, SMS and voice communication data receives special handling:

What we collect

Content of SMS check-in messages (outbound and inbound), voice call transcriptions, delivery status, timestamps, and phone numbers involved.

Why we collect it

To perform sentiment analysis, detect distress, generate wellness reports, and trigger caregiver alerts. This is the core function of the Service.

How we protect it

All message content is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Access is restricted to authorized personnel only. AI processing occurs on secure infrastructure with no human review of individual messages unless required for safety or legal compliance.

Retention

Check-in message content is retained for 90 days for wellness trend analysis, then automatically purged. Summary data (sentiment scores, response rates) is retained for the duration of the account.

Opt-out

Reply STOP to any SMS, contact support@wellai.live, or use the dashboard to opt out. This disables check-in monitoring for that individual.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do NOT sell your personal data. Ever.

We share information only in these limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: Trusted third-party providers that help deliver the Service, including cloud infrastructure, communication delivery, payment processing, and AI analysis services. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes.
  • Authorized Caregivers: Wellness data and alerts are shared with caregivers and family members you designate in your account.
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental request.
  • Safety: When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of a person or prevent fraud.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with advance notice before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

5. Data Security
