Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 May 2026

1. Introduction

Orval AI ("Orval", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy and personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your information when you use our website and services at orval.ai (the "Service").

We process personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is Orval AI. Orval.ai is a trading name of Siplifi Group Ltd. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at [email protected].

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address via our authentication provider, Supabase. We use passwordless authentication (magic link / one-time password sent to your email), so we do not collect or store passwords.

3.2 Payment Information

Payments are processed by Stripe. When you subscribe or make a purchase, your payment card details are collected and processed directly by Stripe. We do not receive, store, or have access to your full card number. We receive only a Stripe customer ID and transaction metadata (plan type, amount, date) necessary to manage your subscription.

3.3 Contact Form Submissions

When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. These are sent via MailerSend (our transactional email provider) and are not stored in a database.

3.4 Technical and Usage Data

  • Server logs: Our hosting infrastructure records IP addresses, request timestamps, URLs accessed, HTTP status codes, and user agent strings.
  • Cloudflare: As our CDN and security provider, Cloudflare processes your IP address, request headers, and connection metadata to provide DDoS protection, bot management, and performance optimisation.
  • Cloudflare Turnstile: We use Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection on certain pages. This may process browser signals and interaction data to verify you are a genuine user.

3.5 Cookies

We use the following cookies:

  • Authentication cookies (Supabase): Essential cookies that maintain your login session. These are strictly necessary for the Service to function.
  • Cloudflare cookies (e.g. __cf_bm): Used by Cloudflare for bot management and security. These are strictly necessary.
  • Turnstile cookies: Used by Cloudflare Turnstile for bot verification. These are strictly necessary.

We do not use any advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To provide, maintain, and improve the Service
  • To authenticate your identity and manage your account
  • To process payments and manage subscriptions
  • To respond to your enquiries submitted via the contact form
  • To send transactional emails (e.g. magic link login, subscription confirmations)
  • To protect the Service from abuse, fraud, and security threats
  • To comply with legal obligations

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Contract: Processing necessary to perform our contract with you (account management, service delivery, payment processing).
  • Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate interests, such as maintaining security, preventing fraud, and improving our services.
  • Legal obligation: Processing necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

6. Data Sharing and Third-Party Processors

We share your personal data with the following third-party service providers who act as data processors on our behalf:

  • Supabase — Authentication and database hosting
  • Stripe — Payment processing
  • MailerSend — Transactional email delivery
  • Cloudflare — CDN, DDoS protection, bot management

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We do not share your data with advertisers.

7. Third-Party Integrations You Connect

Orval lets you connect your own accounts on third-party business platforms — for example, ServiceM8, Jobber, Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, Calendly, and Freshdesk — so the AI voice agent can take actions on your behalf during phone calls (booking jobs, scheduling appointments, creating tickets, and similar). Connections are made through each provider's standard OAuth 2.0 flow, where you grant Orval a specific, limited set of permissions. We only request the scopes we actually need to perform the features you have enabled.

ServiceM8

When you connect your ServiceM8 account to Orval, you authorise us — via ServiceM8's OAuth 2.0 flow — to read and write a limited set of data on your behalf. Specifically, Orval accesses your ServiceM8 customers, jobs, schedule, staff list, and business locations so that the voice agent can find or create a customer record, register a new job from a phone call, and schedule a visit against the staff member you select as the default. We do not read or write data outside the scopes you grant at the point of connection, and we do not access financial, invoicing, or payment data in ServiceM8.

The OAuth access and refresh tokens issued by ServiceM8 are stored encrypted at rest on Orval's servers and are used only to make API calls on your behalf in response to inbound phone calls. They are never shared with third parties, sold, or used for advertising. You can revoke this connection at any time from your Orval agent's Integrations tab, or from within ServiceM8; doing so deletes our copy of your tokens and stops all further reads or writes against your account. We retain call transcripts and job-creation logs for 90 days for support and quality-assurance purposes, after which they are deleted from our systems. We comply with the UK GDPR / EU GDPR / applicable data-protection law in your region, and we honour ServiceM8's own Privacy Policy and Partner Agreement in handling any data sourced from your ServiceM8 account.

Jobber

When you connect your Jobber account to Orval, you authorise us — via Jobber's OAuth 2.0 flow — to read and write a limited set of data on your behalf through Jobber's GraphQL API. Specifically, Orval reads basic account and user information so we can label the connection, looks up existing clients by phone number to avoid duplicates, and creates new Clients, Requests, Quotes, Jobs (with attached Properties), and scheduled Visits when callers want to make an enquiry or book work during a phone call. We do not read or write data outside the scopes granted at the point of connection, and we do not access invoicing, payment, or financial data in Jobber.

The OAuth access and refresh tokens issued by Jobber are stored encrypted at rest on Orval's servers and are used only to make API calls on your behalf in response to inbound phone calls. We handle Jobber's refresh-token rotation correctly, persisting only the most recently issued refresh token, and we do not share tokens with third parties, sell them, or use them for advertising. You can revoke this connection at any time from your Orval agent's Integrations tab, or from inside Jobber's app permissions screen; in either case, our copy of your tokens is deleted and all further reads or writes against your account stop. We respond to Jobber's APP_DISCONNECT webhook to ensure local cleanup happens promptly when revocation is initiated from Jobber's side. We retain call transcripts and booking-creation logs for 90 days for support and quality-assurance purposes, after which they are deleted from our systems. We comply with the UK GDPR / EU GDPR / applicable data-protection law in your region, and we honour Jobber's Privacy Policy and Developer Terms in handling any data sourced from your Jobber account.

8. International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party processors (Supabase, Stripe, Cloudflare) may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) or the processor's participation in recognised data protection frameworks.

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy:

  • Account data: Retained for the duration of your account. Deleted upon account deletion.
  • Payment records: Retained as required by financial regulations (typically 6 years under HMRC requirements).
  • Server logs: Retained for up to 90 days.
  • Contact form submissions: Not stored persistently; delivered via email only.

10. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access: You can request a copy of your personal data. You can export your data at any time from your dashboard settings.
  • Right to rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • Right to erasure: You can delete your account and all associated data from your dashboard settings. This action is irreversible.
  • Right to restrict processing: You can request that we limit the processing of your data in certain circumstances.
  • Right to data portability: You can export your data in a machine-readable format from your dashboard.
  • Right to object: You can object to processing based on legitimate interests.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month.

11. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including:

  • HTTPS encryption for all data in transit (TLS 1.2/1.3)
  • Encryption at rest for stored data (AES-256 via Supabase)
  • Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF) and DDoS protection
  • Strict access controls and principle of least privilege

12. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.
