3. Prospects & Third-Party Contacts

This section explains how we handle personal data about people who are not Lioma users: the business contacts ("prospects") that our customers reach through Lioma's outreach features, and the professional contacts our customers store in Lioma. These outreach features are provided for business use only (see our Terms and our Data Processing Agreement).

Our Two Roles

• Processor for customer outreach: When a customer runs outreach, that customer is the data controller and Lioma acts as their processor. The customer decides whom to contact and why; we source, prepare, send, and track outreach on their documented instructions under a Data Processing Agreement. Business customers are responsible for having a lawful basis to contact each prospect and for honouring objections.
• Controller for our prospect-research database: To provide the service efficiently, we maintain a central store of business-contact and publicly available professional information that may be used across customers. Because we determine the purpose and means of that database, Lioma acts as controller for it.

Categories of Data

Business name, business email address, employer, job title, city and country, LinkedIn profile URL, publicly available professional information, and a short AI-generated research summary used to tailor outreach. For outreach a customer sends, we also process the message content (in text or, where used, AI-generated voice), delivery status, any reply, and the prospect's interactions with the personalised landing page created for them. The personalised landing page uses only first-party, privacy-friendly analytics (such as page visits) and does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. We process business/professional-context data only and do not knowingly collect special categories of data (Art. 9 GDPR) about prospects.

Sources

• Our customers
• B2B contact-data providers (currently Apollo)
• Publicly accessible sources (company websites, public professional profiles, business registers and imprints)
• Address-validation providers

Legal Basis

We rely on our and our customers' legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in initiating and conducting business-to-business relationships and outreach. We have weighed these interests against the interests and rights of the data subjects and limited the processing to a professional context, business-relevant information, frequency caps, and an easy opt-out.

Retention

We keep prospect records only as long as they remain useful for the service and automatically delete records that have been inactive for 12 months. Where a person opts out, we retain the minimum information necessary to continue honouring that opt-out (suppression), and nothing more.

Recipients

To deliver outreach, prospect data may be shared with our postal provider (Pingen), address-validation providers, the relevant messaging channel (for example LinkedIn or our email provider), and our EU hosting provider (AWS, Frankfurt).

Your Rights If You Are a Prospect

You have the right to access, rectification, restriction, erasure, and data portability, and an unconditional right to object to direct marketing at any time (Art. 21(2) GDPR). To exercise these rights, email privacy@lioma.eu or use the "remove me" link on the landing page or letter you received. An objection or erasure removes you from our prospect database and suppresses future contact across the entire Lioma platform. You may also contact the customer who reached out to you; we will assist them as their processor.

Source of Your Data (Art. 14 GDPR)

Where we did not obtain your data from you directly, we obtained it from the sources listed above. This notice, together with the notice provided at the point of contact, satisfies our information obligations under Article 14 GDPR.

4. How We Use Your Data & Legal Basis

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we must have a valid legal basis for each processing activity. The table below provides a comprehensive overview of what data we process, for what purposes, and our legal justification under Article 6(1) GDPR.

Legal Bases We Rely On

• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR - Consent: You have given clear consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose.
• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR - Contract: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
• Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR - Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR - Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for legitimate interests pursued by us, except where overridden by your interests or fundamental rights.

Detailed Data Processing Overview

Legitimate Interests Assessment

Where we rely on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), we have conducted a balancing test to ensure our interests do not override your fundamental rights. Our legitimate interests include:

• Security: Protecting our service and users from fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access. This is essential for maintaining trust and service integrity.
• Debugging: Identifying and resolving technical issues to ensure service reliability.

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact privacy@lioma.eu to exercise this right.

Special Categories of Data

We do not intentionally collect special categories of personal data as defined in Article 9 GDPR (racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, etc.).

Energy Level Data: Lioma allows you to log your "energy level" as a productivity readiness indicator. This is explicitly not health data. Energy level is a subjective productivity metric (similar to "how focused do you feel?" or "how ready are you to tackle your goals?") - not a medical, diagnostic, or mental health measurement. We do not use this data to infer health conditions, provide health recommendations, or for any medical purpose.

6. Voice & AI Data Processing

Lioma uses AI to provide personalized automation. Here's how your voice and conversation data is processed:

How Voice Conversations Work

1. Your voice is streamed to AssemblyAI for real-time transcription
2. The transcription is sent to Claude AI to generate a response
3. The response text is converted to speech via Inworld
4. The full conversation transcript is saved to your account

Important Information

• Raw audio is NOT permanently stored: it's processed in real-time only
• Transcripts ARE stored in your account history (you can delete them)
• AI responses are generated, not pre-written or human-reviewed
• No automated decisions with legal effects: AI provides suggestions only
• You control your data: delete conversation history anytime in Settings

No Biometric Data Collection

We do NOT create, store, or use voiceprints or any biometric identifiers derived from your voice. Voice audio is processed solely for real-time transcription and is not used for speaker identification, authentication, or any biometric purpose. Your voice characteristics are never analyzed, stored, or compared for identification purposes.

7. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), primarily the United States, where our service providers operate.

Safeguards we use:

No system is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach affecting your rights, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours as required by GDPR.

16. AI Assistant Infrastructure Security

Lioma's personal assistant is powered by a custom AI agent infrastructure built by the Lioma team. We deliberately chose not to use third-party or open-source AI agent frameworks, because they introduce security risks that are difficult to mitigate in a managed service: public skill marketplaces that allow untrusted third-party code, broad system access that expands the attack surface, and credential handling patterns that expose API keys to the AI model itself.

By building our own infrastructure, we control every layer of the stack and can enforce security guarantees that are not possible with general-purpose agent frameworks.

Isolated Environment

Every Lioma user receives a dedicated, isolated environment for their personal AI assistant. Your assistant runs under its own operating-system account with its own files, configuration, and credentials, isolated from other users at the operating-system layer, so no other user's assistant can access your personal workspace, files, or credentials. When you use outreach features, messages are sent from the accounts you connect (for example, your own LinkedIn account, which you authorise us to act through on your behalf), not from shared accounts.

No Third-Party Code

Unlike agent frameworks that support public plugin or skill marketplaces, Lioma Runtime has no mechanism for third-party code installation. Every capability your assistant has was authored, reviewed, and deployed by the Lioma team. This eliminates the supply chain risks that have affected open-source agent ecosystems.

Credential Isolation

Open-source agent frameworks typically place API keys and authentication tokens directly in the agent's configuration, where the AI model can see them. This creates a risk that prompt injection or malicious web content could trick the agent into revealing those credentials.

Lioma Runtime uses a proxy architecture instead. When your assistant needs to access an external service, the request routes through the Lioma backend, which injects authentication server-side. Your assistant never sees raw API keys or tokens. This applies to search services, language model access, and your own API keys if you have chosen to bring your own.

Minimal Attack Surface

Lioma Runtime is purpose-built for Lioma's use case. It does not include features common in general-purpose agent frameworks that widen the attack surface:

• No plugin marketplace: No mechanism for untrusted code to run on your instance.
• Sandboxed browser: Your assistant browses the web through an isolated headless browser with no access to your local machine or desktop.
• No direct credential access: All authentication is proxied through the Lioma backend.
• Restricted shell access: All commands executed by your assistant are security-screened and limited to pre-approved operations within your isolated environment.

Security Patching

Because we own the full stack, we can patch vulnerabilities without waiting for upstream releases. We continuously monitor our infrastructure and deploy security fixes promptly.

What Your Assistant Can Access

Your assistant has access to:

• Your conversations within Lioma
• Your goals, vision, and reflection entries
• Websites you ask it to visit
• Files in your personal workspace
• Your calendar (if connected)

Your assistant does not have access to:

• Other users' data or environments
• Raw API keys or authentication tokens
• Your email inbox (unless you have explicitly connected the email service)
• The Lioma backend infrastructure

Data Collected Through AI Assistant Actions

When your AI assistant performs automated tasks, we collect and store the following additional data:

• Activity logs: Records of tools used, tasks performed, and estimated time saved
• Email records: Metadata (recipients, subjects, timestamps) and content of emails sent through the assistant
• Browser session data: URLs visited, actions taken, and cookies stored during browser automation sessions. Browser sessions are isolated per user and automatically expire
• Connected service tokens: OAuth tokens or session cookies for services you connect. These are stored encrypted and isolated in your personal environment
• Workspace files: Files your assistant creates or manages in your personal workspace
• Confirmation history: Records of actions requiring your approval and your approval/rejection decisions

All AI assistant data is subject to the same retention, deletion, and export policies described in Section 8 of this Privacy Policy. When you delete your account, all AI assistant data, including connected service credentials, workspace files, and activity logs, is permanently deleted.

17. Automated Decision-Making

• Our AI provides suggestions, insights, and automation
• These are recommendations only, not binding decisions
• There is no automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects on you
• You always control your goals, actions, and data

AI System Transparency (EU AI Act)

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act):

• Our AI system generates personalized responses using large language models (currently AWS Bedrock). These responses are generated automatically without human review
• Lioma's AI features are classified as limited-risk AI systems. We comply with the transparency obligations set out in Article 50 of the EU AI Act
• All AI interactions with our AI assistants are clearly identified as AI-powered. You are interacting with artificial intelligence, not humans
• AI-generated content (reflection narratives, illustrations, emails sent by the AI assistant) is identified as AI-generated both visibly and through machine-readable markers where technically feasible
• Sentiment analysis within conversations is text-based only. We do not use biometric data, facial recognition, or physiological signals for emotion recognition
• You may use Lioma without engaging with AI features. Core functionality (manual goal tracking, reflection entries) works without AI interaction

18. Google Sign-In & Calendar Integration

Google Sign-In

When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture to create or access your account. We do not access any other Google data.

Google Calendar Integration

If you connect Google Calendar:

• Reading: We read your event titles and times to suggest smarter focus times (e.g., "after your standup" or "before that client call")
• Creating: When you ask Lioma to schedule focus time, we create events directly in your calendar
• We use calendar access only to suggest optimal focus times and schedule sessions you request
• We do NOT store calendar data permanently - it's queried in real-time
• Your calendar data is never shared with third parties
• Disconnect anytime in Settings

Google API Limited Use Disclosure

Lioma's use of Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use requirements:

• We use Google data only for purposes described in this policy
• We do not use Google data for advertising
• We do not allow humans to read Google data without explicit consent
• We do not transfer Google data except as necessary for the service
• The use of raw or derived user data received from Google Workspace APIs will adhere to the Google User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google Workspace data to create, train, or improve generalized AI or machine learning models.

19. Data Breach Response

We maintain a documented incident response plan to handle potential data breaches in compliance with GDPR Article 33/34 and applicable US state laws.

Our Commitment

• Detection: We monitor our systems for unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and security anomalies
