3A. AI Features — Data Access and Processing Disclosure
Rawberry's core functionality is powered by AI that accesses your CRM data to automate tasks, generate content, and assist you. This section explains exactly what data the AI accesses and how it is used.
What Data the AI Accesses
The Rawberry AI assistant and automation engine may access all data stored in your CRM account, including:
- Client profiles: names, contact details, relationship history, notes, and tags
- Booking and job records: dates, venues, package details, status, and associated communications
- Contracts and quotes: document content, pricing, terms, and signature status
- Invoices and payment records: amounts, due dates, payment status, and transaction history
- Call transcripts and meeting notes: full text of transcribed calls, AI-generated summaries, and extracted action items
- Email threads: content of emails synced from connected Gmail accounts
- Instagram and contact form lead records: inquiry content, source, and follow-up history
- Workflow and task data: automation rules, scheduled actions, and task completion history
- Your account settings and preferences: pricing templates, email templates, and business configuration
How the AI Uses This Data
The AI accesses the above data exclusively to provide the following features to you:
- Generating draft quotes, contracts, and follow-up emails based on call transcripts and client context
- Prioritizing and routing leads captured from Gmail, Instagram, and contact forms
- Answering questions you ask via the voice or chat assistant about your business, clients, or pipeline
- Identifying overdue invoices, unsigned contracts, and at-risk leads requiring follow-up
- Populating CRM fields automatically based on data extracted from calls, emails, and messages
- Suggesting and executing workflow automations based on client interaction patterns
AI Data Principles
- We do not use your CRM data or call transcripts to train AI models for commercial sale or for use with any other customer's account
- AI-generated outputs (quotes, emails, summaries) are drafts for your review — you remain responsible for all communications sent to your clients
- The AI operates within a scoped context window. Data from your account is never shared with or visible to other Rawberry users
- We may use aggregated, anonymized, non-identifiable usage patterns to improve the Service
- Third-party AI model providers we use are bound by data processing agreements prohibiting use of your data for model training
You may disable AI features at any time from your account settings. Disabling AI will prevent automation and assistant functions but will not affect your stored data or non-AI features.
3B. Call Transcription Data
When you enable the call transcription feature, Rawberry collects and processes the following data:
Data Collected
- Call transcripts: text generated from real-time speech-to-text processing during Google Meet sessions and phone calls. Raw audio is processed in memory only and is never stored by Rawberry.
- Meeting metadata: participant names, meeting duration, timestamps, and Google Meet session identifiers
- AI-generated summaries and action items: structured outputs extracted from transcript content
- Sentiment and intent signals: inferences drawn by AI from call content regarding client interest and booking likelihood
How Call Data Is Used
- To populate client and job records in your CRM automatically
- To generate draft quotes and follow-up communications
- To provide a searchable, retrievable record of client interactions
- To power AI assistant responses about specific client conversations
Call Data Retention
- Raw audio recordings are NOT retained by Rawberry. Audio is processed in real time solely to generate a transcript and is permanently discarded immediately upon transcription.
- Transcripts and AI summaries are retained as part of your CRM records for the life of your account
- Upon account deletion, all transcripts and AI-generated summaries are deleted within 30 days from production systems and within 90 days from backups
Your Recording Obligations
You are solely responsible for obtaining consent from all call participants before enabling transcription. Rawberry will display a visible notification when a transcription is in progress, but the legal obligation to notify and obtain consent from your clients rests entirely with you. See Section 9.2 of the Terms of Service for your full obligations under applicable recording laws.
Our use of data obtained through Google APIs complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy at developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy.
3C. Gmail and Instagram OAuth Data
Gmail Data
When you connect Gmail via OAuth, Rawberry accesses:
- Email content (message bodies and attachments) from incoming inquiries and client threads
- Email metadata: sender address, subject line, timestamps, and thread identifiers
- Sent email records for communications sent via Rawberry on your behalf
Gmail data is used solely to: (a) capture and qualify photography leads; (b) associate email threads with client records; (c) enable the AI to draft and send follow-up emails on your behalf; and (d) provide a unified inbox view.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Privacy Policy, our use of Gmail data is subject to these additional restrictions in compliance with Google's API Services User Data Policy:
- We will not use Gmail data to serve advertisements to you or any third party
- We will not allow any human employee or contractor to read your Gmail message content except: (i) with your explicit affirmative consent for a specific message; (ii) as necessary for security incident response or abuse investigation; (iii) as required by applicable law; or (iv) where data has been aggregated and anonymized such that individual messages cannot be identified
- We will not transfer, sell, or use Gmail data for any purpose other than operating and improving the features you have enabled within the Service
You may revoke Gmail access at any time from Google Account settings (myaccount.google.com > Security > Third-party apps with account access) or from your Rawberry account settings.
Instagram Data
When you connect your Instagram Business or Creator account via Meta's Graph API, Rawberry accesses:
- Incoming Direct Message content from prospective and existing clients
- Message metadata: sender username, profile ID, timestamp, and message thread identifier
- Sender profile information made available through the API: display name and profile photo
Instagram data is used solely to capture and qualify leads, create and update client records, enable AI-drafted responses, and display a unified inbox. We do not use Instagram message content to build audience profiles, serve targeted advertising, or transfer data to Meta or third parties for marketing purposes. We comply with Meta's Platform Terms for all data accessed through the Instagram Graph API.
You may disconnect Instagram at any time from your Rawberry account settings.
