Who we are and how to contact us
ADAM AI is operated by AdamAI AG, Churerstrasse 154, 8808 Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland. In this policy, “ADAM”, “we” and “us” mean AdamAI AG.
For privacy questions and requests, email michael@adamai.ch or write to that address.
This policy describes processing connected with our website, enquiries, recruitment and service. Swiss data-protection law applies, together with other applicable requirements, including the GDPR where it applies.
Our role
We determine the purposes of processing for our account administration, business communications and recruitment. For these activities, we act as controller.
For personal data in documents and workflows controlled by a business customer, we normally process on that customer's instructions. The customer may itself act for another controller. Requests about information in a customer's documents should normally be addressed to that customer; we assist it in responding.
Information and purposes
| Activity | Information handled and purpose |
|---|---|
| Accounts and service access | Contact and account details, authentication information and relevant device, network and activity information to provide, administer and protect access. |
| Enquiries and business administration | Contact details, messages and relevant contract, invoice and payment-status records to respond to requests and manage the relationship. Contact details and messages are stored in our customer-relationship system so that we can respond and follow up. |
| Website analytics | After you accept analytics cookies, aggregated usage measurement of the public website with Google Analytics to understand how it is used. Names, email addresses and form contents are never sent to Google. |
| Demonstrations | Submitted documents, extracted information and submission/contact details to carry out and explain the requested demonstration. |
| Customer document processing | Documents, images, extracted fields, comparisons, checks and associated metadata to perform the configured workflow. |
| Email, messaging and integrations | Relevant sender and recipient identifiers, message content, attachments and exchanged business data to receive information and deliver configured results. |
| Support and security | Support communications, diagnostic information and relevant activity records to investigate issues, prevent misuse and maintain the service. |
| Recruitment | Name, contact details, selected role, profile link, application message and relevant follow-up information to assess applications and communicate with candidates. |
Information comes from you, your organisation, authorised users and connected systems. Technical information is also generated through use of the service. The contents of business documents depend on what the customer submits.
Where the GDPR applies to processing for which we act as controller, the grounds depend on the activity. We rely on contract where processing is necessary for a contract with you or steps you request towards one; legitimate interests in responding to business contacts, managing relationships and protecting the service; applicable legal obligations for required records and disclosures; or consent where required. Recruitment processing must also satisfy applicable employment rules. For customer document data, the customer determines its lawful basis and we follow its instructions.
Automated and AI-assisted processing
ADAM uses automated and AI-assisted processing to classify, read, extract, compare and check business information. Relevant documents or fields may be sent to specialist document-processing and AI-inference services. Results can contain mistakes and should be reviewed before consequential use.
Customers configure the workflows and determine how results are used. Processing business documents is not, by itself, a statement that automated decisions about individuals are being made. Any use involving decisions with legal or similarly significant effects needs to be assessed in its actual context.
International processing
Our service uses infrastructure and providers outside Switzerland, including in the European Union and the United States. Processing locations depend on the services involved. Transfers must satisfy applicable data-protection requirements. Contact michael@adamai.ch for information about the arrangements relevant to your data.
Retention and deletion
The following distinguishes active workspace data, cleanup processes and records that remain after a cleanup. It does not mean every copy disappears at the same instant.
| Information | Current handling |
|---|---|
| Workspace documents and extracted results | No automatic age-based expiry while the account remains active. The service provides deletion functions; recoverable records may remain in a recycle bin until permanently removed. |
| Account closure | A scheduled deletion request starts a 30-day cancellation period. Final deletion is performed by the account-deletion process. Some independent records and backup copies can remain as described below. |
| Interactive-preview uploads | The daily cleanup selects eligible preview uploads older than 24 hours. This is a cleanup threshold, not a guarantee that every copy disappears at exactly 24 hours. |
| Demo files and spreadsheets | Demo cleanup is configured to run daily after the 14-day expiry threshold. It deletes the uploaded stored file and moves the generated spreadsheet to the connected storage service's trash. Moving a spreadsheet to trash is not permanent erasure. |
| Demo submission records | File cleanup does not delete the submission record, which can retain contact details and related metadata. There is currently no automatic expiry for that record. |
| Enquiry and lead records | Kept while the enquiry is active and for up to 24 months after the last contact, then deleted from our customer-relationship system. |
| Account-deletion exports | A successfully generated download link is valid for six days from signing. Stored archives become eligible for the daily deletion sweep once older than six days. The link and archive therefore do not necessarily disappear together. |
| Backups | Backup copies are separate from active records and can retain information after it is deleted from the active service. Their deletion follows the backup retention arrangements. |
| Intake, activity and support records | These may remain independently of file cleanup. Some records are not automatically erased by account deletion, and no general age-based cleanup is implemented for them. |
| Evidence of account deletion | A deletion record can remain after closure, including account identification, requester, dates, removal counts and the export recipient address. |
| Recruitment | Applications are received through email. The application flow does not store them in a dedicated application database; removal from the recruitment mailbox is a separate process. |
| Accounting and legal records | Relevant information may be retained to meet applicable record-keeping obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims. |
The absence of automatic expiry is not a reason to retain personal data indefinitely. Retention must be limited to what remains necessary for an identified purpose or applicable legal obligation, with deletion or anonymisation when that need ends. Contact us about deletion of information not covered by ordinary workspace controls.
An automatic export can fail without stopping a scheduled account deletion. Arrange any export you require before irreversible deletion and confirm that you have received the information you need.
Access and security
We use technical and organisational measures appropriate to the processing risks. No online service can guarantee complete protection against every threat.
Some documents are accessible through private links without sign-in. Anyone who holds such a link may be able to open the document. Treat those links as confidential and control how they are forwarded.
Your rights
Depending on applicable law and circumstances, you may request access or information, correction, deletion, restriction, a portable copy of eligible data, or object to certain processing. You may withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing, without affecting earlier lawful processing.
Send requests to michael@adamai.ch. We may request proportionate information to verify identity and authority. We respond within applicable legal time limits and explain any lawful limitations. For information controlled by a customer, contact that customer first.
You may raise concerns with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner or, where applicable, your competent EU/EEA supervisory authority.
Recruitment and changes
Application information is used to assess suitability and communicate with candidates. Please avoid unnecessary sensitive information. Any retention for separate future opportunities must be addressed separately from the original application.
We update this policy when our processing changes and provide additional notice where required. Questions can be sent to michael@adamai.ch.
