Alexa Skill Privacy Policy
Alexa Skill Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this policy to help you understand how we collect, use, communicate, and handle personal information. The following outlines our Privacy Policy.
Alexa Skill
SIP Abacus New Zealand operates an Amazon Alexa Skill developed by Bhaani Consulting Limited. It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating the skill.
We use your personal information only to provide a personalized user experience. By enabling the skill, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information We Collect from Alexa
Some users of the SIP Abacus New Zealand Alexa Skill may interact in ways that require the collection of personally identifying information. We use the access token provided by Amazon to retrieve the following details from your Alexa account:
- First name and last name
- Email address
- Phone number
We collect only the information necessary to fulfil the purpose of your interaction with the skill. We do not disclose personally identifying information beyond what is outlined in this policy. Users can always opt out by disabling the skill.
Data Retention Policy
We retain user contact information only for as long as necessary to provide our personalized services. You may request deletion by contacting us or disabling the skill.
Log Data
To help investigate issues, SIP Abacus New Zealand stores logs using Amazon CloudWatch. These logs may contain personally identifiable information, which is never exposed, sold, or used for anything beyond internal issue tracking.
Protection of Personal Information
SIP Abacus New Zealand shares personal information only with employees or contractors who need it to process requests on our behalf and who are bound by confidentiality obligations. Some may be located outside your country. By using the skill, you consent to such transfers. We do not rent or sell personal data to anyone.
