Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Your privacy matters. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have. We have written it to be clear, not to obscure. If anything is unclear, contact us at privacy@rqops.dev.
1. Who We Are

RQops.dev ("RQops", "we", "us", "our") is an AI-powered sales recovery service. We work with online course creators, certification programs, and coaching businesses to recover revenue from abandoned checkout leads through automated outbound calling.

We operate as both a data controller (for data about our business clients and our website visitors) and a data processor (for prospect data passed to us by our business clients for the purpose of outbound calling).

Contact: privacy@rqops.dev

2. Data We Collect & Why

We collect and process different types of data depending on who you are:

If you are a website visitor:

Call recordingQuality assurance, compliance, and dispute resolutionLegitimate interest
Call outcome (e.g. purchased, declined)Performance reporting to our clientContract
3. Prospect Data & Consent

RQops calls prospects only on behalf of our business clients, using contact details those prospects provided directly to that business via an opt-in form. We do not source, purchase, or independently acquire prospect contact lists.

Our business clients are contractually required to confirm that prospects have provided lawful consent to receive follow-up communications as part of their opt-in process. RQops relies on this warranty from clients.

At the start of every call, our AI agent:

  • Identifies itself as an AI assistant acting on behalf of the business the prospect contacted
  • References the specific product or service the prospect showed interest in
  • Gives the prospect an immediate, frictionless option to opt out of further contact

Any opt-out request is actioned immediately and permanently. The prospect's number is added to a suppression list and will not be contacted again.

4. How We Use Data

We use the data we hold strictly for the purposes described above. Specifically, we do not:

  • Sell personal data to any third party
  • Use prospect data for any purpose other than the recovery call on behalf of the originating business
  • Use client data for marketing to their competitors or any other business purpose
  • Train AI models on call recordings or personal data without explicit written consent
5. Data Sharing

We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With our business clients — call recordings, outcomes, and reporting relevant to their campaigns
  • With technology service providers — infrastructure, telephony, and CRM integration providers necessary to deliver our service. These providers are bound by data processing agreements and may not use your data for their own purposes
  • With legal or regulatory authorities — where required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of individuals

We do not share data across clients. Prospect data from Client A is never visible to Client B.

6. Data Retention

We retain data for the minimum period necessary:

Data TypeRetention Period
Call recordings90 days, then permanently deleted unless a dispute is open
Prospect contact dataDeleted within 30 days of campaign end or client termination
Client billing records7 years (legal / tax requirement)
Opt-out / suppression listsRetained indefinitely to honour opt-out requests
Website analytics26 months
7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access — to obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Right to rectification — to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Right to erasure — to request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements
  • Right to object — to object to processing based on legitimate interest, including direct marketing
  • Right to restriction — to request that we limit processing of your data in certain circumstances
  • Right to data portability — to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
  • Right to opt out of sale — California residents have the right under CCPA to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, contact privacy@rqops.dev. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing requests.

8. Cookies & Tracking

Our website uses minimal tracking. We use first-party analytics to understand site usage (pages visited, session duration, referring source). We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels.

If you prefer not to be tracked, you may disable cookies in your browser settings. Core website functionality will not be affected.

9. Security

We implement technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include:

  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest
  • Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel only
  • Regular security reviews of our infrastructure and third-party providers
  • Automatic deletion workflows to enforce retention limits

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected parties and relevant authorities within 72 hours of becoming aware, as required by applicable law.

10. International Transfers

Our services operate across multiple jurisdictions. If personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the relevant supervisory authority.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated via email to active clients and via a prominent notice on this page. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of our services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

12. Contact & Complaints

For any privacy-related questions, requests, or concerns: privacy@rqops.dev

If you are located in the UK or EU and are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (e.g. the ICO in the UK, or the relevant supervisory authority in your EU member state).
