Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights in relation to that data. It applies to both visitors to this website and customers of the VoiceMint service.

If you are a caller to a business that uses VoiceMint, your personal data is processed on behalf of that business — see Section 4 below for what this means for you.

1. Who we are

VoiceMint is a trading name of Les Donaldson, a sole trader based in Scotland. We are the data controller for personal data collected through this website and from our customers.

ICO registration: Pending. We are registering with the Information Commissioner’s Office as required for businesses processing personal data. We will update this page with our registration number on completion.

2. Data we collect from website visitors

When you visit our website, we collect very little. Specifically:

We do not use third-party advertising cookies. We do not retarget visitors with ads. We do not share visitor data with social media platforms or marketing networks.

3. Data we collect from customers

When you subscribe to a VoiceMint plan, we collect:

Call data

Delivering the service involves processing and storing detailed records of calls handled by your AI agent. For each call, the following is collected and stored on our behalf by our voice platform provider (Retell AI):

This call data is used for service delivery, billing (calculating your minute usage), quality improvement, and troubleshooting.

Why we collect this data

We collect customer data because we need it to deliver the service you have subscribed to. The legal basis for processing is contract performance — we cannot provide VoiceMint without it.

4. Data we process about callers

This section is for people who call a business that uses VoiceMint. When you call a business whose phone line is handled by a VoiceMint AI agent, the following information is processed:

Who is responsible for your data

The business you called is the data controller for your information — they decide why the AI agent is answering their calls and what is done with the details you provide. VoiceMint acts as a data processor: we operate the AI platform on that business’s instructions.

If you want to access, correct, or delete the information held about your call, you should contact the business you called directly. If you are unsure how to reach them, or if you contact us, we will help direct your request to the right place and assist that business in responding.

Being informed about AI call handling

Businesses using VoiceMint are responsible for informing their callers that calls may be recorded and handled by an AI system. If you were not made aware of this when you called, we encourage you to raise it with the business concerned.

How your data is used

Caller information is used only to handle your call and fulfil your request — for example, to book your appointment, capture your enquiry, or pass a message to the business. We do not use caller data for our own marketing, and we do not sell it to anyone.

5. Our legal basis for processing

Under UK GDPR, we must have a valid legal basis for processing personal data. The basis depends on whose data it is and why we hold it:

Where we rely on legitimate interest, we have considered whether that interest is outweighed by the rights of the individuals concerned, and we have concluded it is not, given the limited and expected nature of the processing.

If we ever need to use your personal data for a new purpose not covered here, we will update this policy and, where the law requires it, seek your consent.

6. Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for anyone else’s marketing purposes.

To deliver the service, we use a small number of trusted third-party providers (“sub-processors”). Each processes data only as needed to provide their part of the service, and each is bound by data protection terms:

We review our sub-processors to ensure they provide appropriate safeguards for your data. If we add or change a significant sub-processor in a way that affects how customer data is handled, we will update this policy.

Beyond these providers, we may disclose personal data if required to do so by law, by a court order, or by a regulator, or where necessary to protect our legal rights.

7. International data transfers

Some of our sub-processors are based outside the United Kingdom — in particular, Retell AI, Twilio, and Stripe operate in the United States.

When personal data is transferred outside the UK, UK data protection law requires appropriate safeguards to be in place. For these transfers, we rely on the safeguards offered by each provider, which include the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or transfers to countries the UK government recognises as providing adequate protection.

This means your personal data receives a standard of protection broadly equivalent to that required under UK law, wherever it is processed.

If you would like more detail about the specific safeguards used for a particular provider, contact us at setup@voicemintai.com.

8. How long we keep your data

We keep personal data only for as long as we need it, then delete it or anonymise it. Specific periods:

9. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the following rights over your personal data:

How to exercise your rights

To exercise any of these rights, email setup@voicemintai.com. We will respond within one month. There is normally no charge. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

If you are a caller

If you called a business that uses VoiceMint and want to exercise your rights over your call data, the business you called is the data controller — please contact them directly. If you contact us, we will help route your request to the right business and assist them in responding.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, please contact us first so we can try to put things right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk or by calling their helpline.

10. How we protect your data

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to keep your personal data secure. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS) for our website, access controls on the systems and accounts we use, choosing reputable service providers with their own documented security practices, and limiting access to personal data to what is necessary to run the service.

No system can be guaranteed completely secure. While we work to protect your data, we cannot promise absolute security.

11. Cookies and tracking

Our website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is privacy-respecting: it does not use cookies, does not fingerprint your device, and does not track you across other websites. We do not share visitor data with advertising or social media networks.

12. Data breaches

If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner’s Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, as required by UK data protection law. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to you, we will also inform you directly without undue delay.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The current version is always available at https://voicemintai.com/privacy-policy/, with the “Last updated” date shown at the top. For significant changes affecting how we handle your personal data, we will take reasonable steps to bring the change to your attention — for customers, this will normally be by email.

14. Contact

For any questions about this privacy policy, or to exercise any of your data protection rights, contact us at setup@voicemintai.com.

We aim to respond to all enquiries within two working days. For formal data protection requests, the statutory response time of one month applies.
