For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Brazilian Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD, Law No. 13,709/2018), and any other applicable data protection legislation, L2AD INFORMATICA LTDA (“The Turn AI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) acts as the data controller for the processing activities described herein, except where expressly stated otherwise.

2. Scope and Applicability

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed in connection with:

This Policy applies regardless of how you interact with us—whether as a visitor to our website, a prospective lead, a paying client, or an end-user communicating with an AI agent deployed by one of our clients.

3. Important Disclosure: Use of Artificial Intelligence

The Turn AI deploys autonomous artificial intelligence agents. These agents are software programs powered by large language models (LLMs), not human beings.

When you communicate with an agent provided through The Turn AI’s platform—whether via WhatsApp, Telegram, webchat, SMS, email, or voice call—you are interacting with an AI system. In compliance with the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Article 52), California Senate Bill 1001 (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17941), and equivalent transparency obligations under the LGPD, we make the following disclosures:

If you are an end-user communicating with an AI agent deployed by one of our clients (for example, a patient contacting a dental clinic, a potential buyer contacting a real estate agent, or a guest contacting a property manager), please be aware that: (a) the AI agent is operated on our platform on behalf of the client business; (b) both The Turn AI and the client business may have access to your conversation data; and (c) The Turn AI acts as a data processor on behalf of the client (who acts as controller), except for our own legitimate interests in platform security, fraud prevention, and service improvement, for which we act as an independent controller.

4. Categories of Data Subjects and Personal Data Collected

4.1. Website Visitors

Data collected: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, pages visited, visit duration, approximate geolocation (country/city level), language preference, device type, cookies and similar tracking identifiers.

Method of collection: Automatically through cookies, server logs, and analytics tools.

4.2. Prospected Leads (Outbound Marketing)

Data collected: Business name, business owner or contact person’s name, email address, phone number, business address, industry/sector, website URL, information publicly available on Google Maps, business directories, and the open web.

Method of collection: Automated prospecting using Google Maps API and web search tools. Our AI agents (“scout” and “intel” agents) identify businesses that may benefit from our services. We then send outreach emails through SendGrid. Recipients who have not previously interacted with us receive cold outreach emails.

4.3. Paying Clients (Businesses)

Data collected: Full name, email address, phone number, business name, industry/profession, billing address, payment information (processed by Stripe; we do not store credit card numbers), service plan and usage data, login credentials (hashed), support communications, onboarding information (business description, target audience, services offered, pricing, procedures).

Method of collection: Directly from you during purchase, onboarding, and ongoing use of our services.

4.4. End-Users of Client Agents

Data collected: Name (if provided), phone number, email address (if provided), messaging platform identifier (WhatsApp JID, Telegram ID, webchat session ID), the full content of conversations with the AI agent, timestamps, language, any files or media shared during conversations (images, documents, audio), and any information you voluntarily provide during the conversation (which may include sensitive categories depending on the context—for example, health information shared with a medical practice’s agent, or financial information shared with a real estate agent).

Method of collection: Automatically when you communicate with an AI agent through any supported channel.

Important notice: You may not be aware that The Turn AI processes your data when you communicate with what appears to be a business’s own assistant. This Privacy Policy and the AI disclosure requirements referenced in Section 3 are intended to address this transparency gap. Our AI agents are configured to identify themselves as AI when directly asked.

5. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing

The table below describes each processing activity, its purpose, and the corresponding legal basis under both the GDPR (Article 6) and the LGPD (Article 7).

Special categories of data (GDPR Art. 9 / LGPD Art. 11): We do not intentionally collect special category data (health, racial/ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, biometric data, or trade union membership). However, end-users may voluntarily disclose such information during conversations with AI agents (for example, health information when speaking with a medical practice’s agent). Where this occurs, processing is based on the explicit consent implicit in the data subject’s voluntary disclosure (GDPR Art. 9(2)(a); LGPD Art. 11, I), and the data is processed solely for the purpose of the conversation. We instruct our clients to implement appropriate notices where their agents are likely to process sensitive data.

6. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

In accordance with GDPR Article 22 and LGPD Article 20, we provide the following information about automated decision-making and profiling activities conducted through our platform.

6.1. What Automated Decisions Are Made

Our AI agents perform the following automated processing that may produce legal or similarly significant effects on data subjects:

6.2. Logic Involved

Automated decisions are generated by third-party large language models (currently Anthropic Claude Sonnet and Haiku, accessed via OpenRouter) operating under structured prompts and business rules defined by our clients. The models evaluate conversational inputs against these rules to produce classifications, responses, and actions. The models are probabilistic and do not use deterministic scoring algorithms; outputs may vary for identical inputs.

6.3. Significance and Consequences

Automated lead qualification may affect whether and how a business follows up with you, the priority assigned to your inquiry, and the speed and nature of service you receive. In most cases, a human operator employed by the client business retains the ability to override agent decisions.

6.4. Your Rights Regarding Automated Decisions

Under GDPR Article 22 and LGPD Article 20, you have the right to:

To exercise these rights, contact privacy@theturn.ai. Where the automated decision was made by an AI agent operating on behalf of one of our clients, we will coordinate with the client to address your request.

7. Sub-Processors and Third-Party Service Providers

We share personal data with the following categories of third-party sub-processors. All sub-processors are bound by data processing agreements that include appropriate safeguards.

Conversation data sent to LLM providers is used solely for real-time response generation and is subject to the providers’ respective data processing terms.

We may engage additional sub-processors from time to time. Material changes to our sub-processor list will be reflected in updates to this Privacy Policy.

8. International Data Transfers

The Turn AI is a Brazilian company. However, our server infrastructure and the majority of our sub-processors are located in the United States. This means that personal data collected from data subjects located in Brazil, the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or any other jurisdiction is transferred to and processed in the United States.

We implement the following safeguards for international transfers:

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Our AI agents are designed for business-to-business and business-to-consumer interactions in professional contexts (sales, customer service, real estate, healthcare administration, etc.) and are not intended for use by minors.

If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 18 (or the applicable age of consent in the child’s jurisdiction), we will take steps to delete such data promptly. If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us, please contact privacy@theturn.ai.

15. Controller-Processor Relationship

The Turn AI operates in a dual capacity depending on the context:

Context The Turn AI’s Role Client’s Role
Our own website, marketing, outreach, and direct sales Controller N/A
AI agent conversations with end-users on behalf of a client Processor (for service delivery) and Independent Controller (for platform security, fraud prevention, and aggregate analytics) Controller
Client dashboard, account management, billing Controller Data subject

Where we act as a processor on behalf of our clients, we process data strictly in accordance with the client’s instructions as documented in our data processing agreement. Our clients, as controllers, are responsible for ensuring that they have an appropriate legal basis for their end-users’ data to be processed through our platform, and for providing appropriate privacy notices to their end-users.

16. Marketing Communications and Opt-Out

16.1. Outbound Email Marketing

Our automated prospecting system identifies businesses that may benefit from our services using publicly available information. We send commercial emails to business contacts. Every outreach email includes a clearly visible unsubscribe link. Upon unsubscribe, we will cease sending marketing emails within 10 business days and add the email address to our suppression list. To opt out, you may also email privacy@theturn.ai with the subject line “Unsubscribe.”

16.2. Outbound Voice Calls

We may place automated outbound voice calls using AI-powered voice agents for B2B sales purposes. These calls are made to business phone numbers identified through public directories. The AI agent will identify itself as an artificial intelligence system at the beginning of the call. You may request to be placed on our do-not-call list during the call or by contacting privacy@theturn.ai.

17. California-Specific Disclosures (CCPA/CPRA)

We do not “sell” or “share” personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes beyond those permitted by the CCPA/CPRA.

AI Disclosure (California SB 1001): Pursuant to California Business and Professions Code Section 17941, we disclose that our AI agents are bots. They are not human. They are designed to communicate with users for the purpose of sales, customer service, and lead qualification on behalf of businesses. This disclosure is also made in Section 3 of this Privacy Policy and is implemented within the agents’ operational parameters.

18. EU AI Act Compliance

Under the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), our AI agents are classified as limited risk AI systems subject to transparency obligations under Article 52. In particular:
