How Otaru AI collects, uses, and protects your personal data

Effective Date: 01 January 2026 | Last Updated: 04 March 2026 | Entity: Otaru AI Pte. Ltd. | Jurisdiction: Singapore (PDPA)

1. Who We Are

Otaru AI Pte. Ltd. ("Otaru", "we", "us", or "our") is a company incorporated in Singapore (UEN: 202518591N) with its registered office at #02-01, 68 Circular Road, Singapore 049422.

We operate an AI-native revenue enablement platform that helps organisations ramp sales teams faster, replicate top-performer behaviours, and improve deal readiness through AI-driven simulations, roleplay, coaching, and analytics.

For the purposes of the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act 2012 ("PDPA"), Otaru AI acts as an Organisation in respect of personal data collected via our website and marketing activities, and as a data intermediary (Processor) in respect of personal data processed on behalf of our business customers through the platform. Where we serve customers in jurisdictions with additional data protection requirements (such as the EU GDPR or UK GDPR), we address those requirements through our customer-specific Data Processing Agreements.

2. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to:

  • Visitors to our website at otaruai.com and any associated subdomains
  • Prospective customers, leads, and contacts who interact with our marketing, demos, or sales outreach
  • Individuals who sign up for a free trial or pilot account
  • End users of the Otaru AI platform acting under a contract between Otaru AI and a business customer

For enterprise customers: If your organisation has signed a Pilot Services Agreement or Subscription Agreement with Otaru AI, the Data Processing Agreement (DPA) attached to that contract governs how we process personal data on your behalf, and takes precedence over this Policy where there is a conflict. Customers subject to GDPR or UK GDPR should refer to their DPA for the applicable cross-border transfer mechanisms and legal bases.

6. Data Sharing & Subprocessors

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We share data only in the following circumstances:

6.1 Authorised Subprocessors

We engage the following third-party subprocessors to deliver the platform. All subprocessors are contractually bound to data protection obligations consistent with this Policy and applicable law:

SubprocessorPurposeLocation
Google Cloud Platform (GCP)Cloud hosting, storage, security infrastructure, Gemini AI modelsSingapore (Southeast Asia 1) and/or EU
FirebaseDatabase, user authentication, in-app analyticsSingapore / US
StripePayment processing (where payment functionality is enabled)US / EU
LangfuseMonitoring of AI tokens across LLM services in the appUS / EU
PostHogWebsite analytics, session replay, product analyticsUS / EU
Recall.aiLive call bot and desktop SDK solutions for joining online calls in platforms like MS Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and Slack HudleUS

Important Notice regarding Recall.ai:

Customers are responsible for obtaining appropriate consent from all call participants before enabling the Live Call Coach feature to join and process real-time communications.

We will notify customers of any new subprocessor and allow 30 days for reasonable objection before that subprocessor begins processing. Furthermore, our contracts with AI subprocessors (such as Google Cloud Platform) strictly prohibit them from using Customer Data to train, fine-tune, or improve their own foundational AI models.

6.2 Business Customers (Controller-to-Processor)

When processing data on behalf of a business customer, we act as a Data Processor and follow that customer's documented instructions. The customer remains the Data Controller.

6.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose personal data to law enforcement, regulators, or courts where required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Otaru AI, our customers, or others.

6.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred to the relevant third party as part of that transaction, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

7. International Transfers

Customer data is primarily stored in Singapore using Google Cloud's Southeast Asia 1 region. Some subprocessor infrastructure (e.g. Stripe for payment processing) may involve data transfers to other jurisdictions, including the United States.

Under the Singapore PDPA, we ensure that any overseas transfer of personal data is made only to organisations that provide a comparable standard of protection, achieved through:

  • Contractual arrangements — binding our subprocessors to data protection obligations consistent with Singapore PDPA requirements
  • Google Cloud's infrastructure — which holds SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other certifications providing equivalent protection standards

For customers whose data is subject to GDPR or UK GDPR (e.g. EU or UK-based users), we address international transfer requirements — including Standard Contractual Clauses — through the applicable customer DPA.

8. Data Retention

Upon contract termination, Otaru AI will delete or anonymise all personal data as specified in the applicable DPA and confirm completion of deletion within the agreed timeframe.

9. Your Rights

Under the Singapore PDPA, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data:

  • Right of access:Request confirmation of whether we hold personal data about you and, if so, access to that data.
  • Right to correction:Request that we correct any personal data about you that is inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading.
  • Right to withdraw consent:Withdraw consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal data at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.
  • Right to data portability:Request that your personal data be transferred to another organisation in a commonly used machine-readable format, where technically feasible.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Privacy Officer at privacy@otaruai.com. We will respond within 30 calendar days as required under the PDPA.

Enterprise customers: End users whose data is processed on behalf of a business customer should direct rights requests to the business customer (the Data Controller / Organisation). We will assist the customer in fulfilling such requests as required by our DPA.

If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with the PDPA, you may lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) of Singapore at pdpc.gov.sg.

10. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security measures include:

  • Identity and access management with role-based controls
  • Data encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest
  • Regular vulnerability scanning and security assessments
  • Data segmentation and detailed access logging
  • Inherited compliance certifications through Google Cloud Platform, including SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, ISO 27701, PCI DSS, and FedRAMP Moderate

In the event of a personal data breach where we act as a Data Intermediary (Processor), we will notify affected business customers without undue delay and no later than 48 hours after confirming the breach. Where we act as a Data Controller, we will notify the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) of Singapore within 72 hours of the breach is notifiable under the PDPA, and we will cooperate fully in any required regulatory notifications.

12. Children's Privacy

The Otaru AI platform is designed for use by business professionals and is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a minor's data has been submitted to us, please contact us immediately at privacy@otaruai.com.
