Recurziv is a small digital studio in Panaji, Goa, India. This page explains, in plain language, what happens to your data when you visit recurziv.com and talk with DAINA — our AI studio guide. We’ve tried to keep it honest and short. If anything here is unclear, email us at contact@recurziv.com and a human will answer.
The short version
- We read a few signals about your visit so DAINA can hold a more relevant conversation — never anything we sell, rent, or trade.
- Your chat and voice input are used only to answer you in the moment. We keep a conversation only if you ask us to follow up.
- You’re always in control: decline the banner, mute the voice, skip the mic, or just read along.
- No advertising networks, no cross-site tracking, no data brokers.
Who we are
The “data controller” for this site is Recurziv, Panaji, Goa, India. You can reach us any time at contact@recurziv.com or +91 98236 35683.
What we collect, and why
Visit signals
When you arrive, our system reads ordinary technical signals about your visit — your browser and device type, screen size, the page that referred you, and an approximate region worked out from your IP address. Your IP address itself is not stored in the clear; it is one-way hashed. We use these signals so DAINA can greet you sensibly and tailor the conversation (for example, recognising a returning visitor, or adjusting to your region). When you first arrive you’ll see a short banner: choosing “no thanks” triggers an immediate server-side wipe of that visit’s session and turns off the inferred analytics.
Your conversation with DAINA
The messages you type (or speak) are sent to a language-model service to generate a reply, along with a little context about the conversation. We do not keep a permanent record of casual chats tied to you. A conversation is saved and passed to our team only when you ask us to follow up — for example, when you share your name, email, or phone number, or click “get a quote.” Please don’t type anything into the chat that you wouldn’t want us to read.
Voice — the mic and the face
DAINA can listen and speak, but only on your terms:
- Microphone: the mic is off until you tap the mic button, and it shows an active indicator while listening. Speech-to-text is handled by your own browser or operating system; depending on your browser, the audio may be processed by your browser or OS provider under their privacy policy, not ours. We don’t store your audio.
- Voice output: DAINA’s spoken replies are generated on our own servers. Occasionally, if that is unavailable, a third-party voice service may be used as a fallback to turn the reply text into speech. You can silence the voice at any time with the sound toggle, or choose “continue without sound.”
When you get in touch
If you fill in the contact form or share details in chat, we collect what you give us — typically your name, email or phone, and a line about your project — and use it solely to reply and, if it goes further, to scope your work. These enquiries are emailed to our team and stored so we can follow up.
On your device
We store a small amount of information in your browser (local storage) — such as a session identifier, your consent choice, and whether you turned sound on. This stays on your device and lets the experience remember your preferences. You can clear it any time through your browser settings.
What we don’t do
- We don’t sell, rent, or trade your data — ever.
- We don’t run advertising networks or third-party ad trackers.
- We don’t build cross-site profiles or share data with data brokers.
- We don’t collect more personal information than a conversation needs.
Who else is involved
To run the site we rely on a few categories of service providers, acting on our behalf: a language-model provider that generates DAINA’s replies, an IP-to-region geolocation lookup, and (as a fallback only) a text-to-speech service. Each processes data only to perform its function. We’re happy to name the specific providers on request — just email us.
How long we keep things
Visit signals are kept only as long as they’re useful for the analytics described above, and are wiped immediately if you decline the banner. Enquiries and the conversations attached to them are kept for as long as needed to follow up with you and to keep our own records, after which they’re deleted. You can ask us to delete your data sooner at any time.
Your choices and rights
You can decline analytics on arrival, mute DAINA, avoid the mic, and clear your local storage whenever you like. Subject to applicable law, you also have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. To make any of these requests, email contact@recurziv.com and we’ll take care of it.
Children
This site isn’t directed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has shared information with us, contact us and we’ll remove it.
Changes to this policy
If our practices change, we’ll update this page and refresh the “last updated” date below. For anything you’re unsure about, the fastest answer is to just ask DAINA — or email a human at contact@recurziv.com.
