Nouveau Systems, LLC (“Nouveau”, “we”) builds and operates automated WhatsApp assistants on behalf of business clients. This policy explains what happens to personal data that passes through those assistants, and how to have it deleted.
When you message a business on WhatsApp and an assistant we built replies, there are two parties:
If you want to know why a particular business is messaging you, ask that business. If you want your data deleted, you can go to either of us — see section 7.
| Data | Where it comes from | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your WhatsApp phone number | Meta, when you message the business | To route the conversation back to you and to recognise you on a return visit |
| Your WhatsApp profile name | Meta | To address you by name |
| The content of your messages, and our replies | You | To answer you, and to keep enough conversation context that you do not have to repeat yourself |
| Message timestamps and WhatsApp message IDs | Meta | To ignore duplicate deliveries and to avoid replying to stale messages |
| Appointment details you give the business | You, or the business’s booking system | To send appointment reminders, where the business has enabled them |
We do not ask for and do not want medical information. Our assistants are front-desk tools. They share opening hours, locations, service menus and booking links. They do not give medical advice and never interpret test or lab results. If you send clinical details anyway, they are treated as ordinary message content under this policy and are visible to the business you contacted, exactly as they would be if a receptionist had read them.
Running a WhatsApp assistant necessarily involves a few other companies. These are all of them:
| Provider | Role | What it sees |
|---|---|---|
| Meta Platforms | WhatsApp Business Platform — delivers the messages | Messages, as it does for all WhatsApp traffic, under Meta’s own terms |
| Anthropic | The AI model that drafts replies | Recent message content, in order to generate a reply. Not retained for training under Anthropic’s commercial terms |
| DigitalOcean | Hosting | Stores the encrypted server and its database. Servers used for this service are located in Frankfurt, Germany |
| Cloudflare | Network and transport security | Traffic in transit |
| Acuity Scheduling (Squarespace) | Appointment reminders, where a business has enabled them | Appointment name, phone number and time |
We add no others without updating this page.
Conversation data is stored on a private server in Frankfurt, Germany. Because the businesses we serve and their customers are often in the United Arab Emirates and the wider Gulf, and Nouveau Systems, LLC is incorporated in Wyoming, United States, your data may be accessed from those countries in the course of operating and supporting the service.
Deleting it sooner, on request, is always available — see below.
You can ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct it, or erase it. Depending on where you live you may also have the right to object to processing or to complain to a regulator.
The fastest route is the deletion page: nouveauai.org/data-deletion. Or email ishaan@nouveausystems.org from any address, telling us the WhatsApp number involved.
We answer within 30 days, and usually within a few working days. Because we act on a business’s behalf, an erasure request that would delete that business’s own records — an appointment you actually booked, say — is passed to them to action, and we will tell you when we do that.
These assistants are built for adult customers of the businesses that deploy them. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has messaged one of our assistants, contact us and we will delete the conversation.
Traffic is encrypted in transit. Access to the servers is restricted to named administrators using key-based authentication. Each client’s data is held separately. API credentials are held in server-side configuration and are never exposed to message senders.
If this policy changes materially we update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of a WhatsApp assistant after that date is subject to the updated policy.
