Privacy Policy

ByteVoice is an AI phone receptionist for Australian businesses. We take the privacy of the people who use this website, our customers and the people who call them seriously. This policy explains how we handle personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Who we are

ByteVoice is a product of StrategyByte Pty Ltd (ABN 21 679 490 727, ACN 679 490 727), Level 15, 60 Station Street East, Parramatta NSW 2150. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean StrategyByte Pty Ltd and ByteVoice.

What this policy covers

This policy covers personal information we handle when:

  • you visit this website or fill in one of its forms,
  • you book a demo, subscribe to product updates or contact us, and
  • a business that uses ByteVoice (our customer) has ByteVoice answer its phone calls.

When ByteVoice answers calls for a business, that business decides why and how its callers’ information is used, and we handle it on the business’s behalf under our agreement with them. If you called a business that uses ByteVoice, that business’s own privacy policy also applies, and it is usually the best first contact for questions about your information.

What we collect

Information you give us

  • Demo bookings: your name, email address, phone number, business name, industry, the plan you are interested in, your preferred date and time, and any message you add.
  • Product updates: your email address.
  • Emails and calls to us: whatever you choose to tell us.

Information collected automatically

  • Technical information: when you use the website, our hosting provider receives standard technical details such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. We use your IP address briefly to limit repeated form submissions and protect the site from abuse.
  • Browser storage: the website stores a few small, non-identifying preferences in your browser (your chat language and sound on or off). These are not used to track you.
  • Cookies and analytics: Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and the Meta Pixel. See Cookies and analytics.

Voice guide

If the website offers a spoken voice guide and you choose to start it, your microphone audio is streamed so the guide can answer you. It is only used to run that conversation. You will be asked for microphone permission first, and you can stop at any time.

Cookies and analytics

The website uses Google Tag Manager to load the analytics and advertising tools below. They set cookies in your browser when you visit. You can block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings at any time, and use each tool’s own opt-out.

Analytics

  • Google Analytics (Google LLC): counts visits and which pages and buttons are used. Cookies: _ga and _ga_* (up to 2 years). Opt out with Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
  • Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation): heatmaps and session recordings of how pages are scrolled and clicked. Form fields and the chat are masked, so what you type is not recorded. Cookies: _clck (up to 1 year) and _clsk (1 day). See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Advertising

  • Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms): tells us when someone who saw one of our ads on Facebook or Instagram visits the site, so we can measure those ads. Cookie: _fbp (up to 90 days). Manage ads in your Meta ad preferences.

The site also keeps your chat language and whether sound is on in your browser’s local storage; these are not shared or used to track you. Google, Microsoft and Meta may process what their tools collect outside Australia, including in the United States.

Calls handled by ByteVoice

When ByteVoice answers a call for one of our customers, it may handle:

  • the caller’s phone number and the time and length of the call,
  • what the caller says, as audio, a transcript and a call summary,
  • details the caller gives to make or change a booking, such as their name, date of birth or appointment needs, and
  • for health businesses, health information the caller chooses to share. This is sensitive information under the Privacy Act and is handled with extra care.

Callers are told at the start of a call when it is being recorded, in line with state and territory surveillance and listening-device laws. ByteVoice introduces itself as the business’s assistant, and callers can ask to speak with a person.

ByteVoice follows the business’s own rules for questions and routing. It does not give medical, legal or financial advice, and urgent calls are handed to the business’s team or the caller is told to call 000.

How we use it

  • to answer and route calls, make bookings and send confirmations and reminders for our customers,
  • to respond to demo requests and enquiries, and to provide and support our service,
  • to send product updates you have subscribed to (every email has a way to unsubscribe),
  • to keep the website and service secure, and to detect and prevent misuse, and
  • to meet our legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use callers’ information for our own marketing. Calls are never used to improve or train AI models.

Who we share it with

We share personal information only as needed to run the website and the service, with:

  • Website hosting: DigitalOcean, which runs this website’s server in its Sydney, Australia data centre.
  • Demo bookings: Byteforms, StrategyByte’s own booking system, which holds demo bookings and the available times.
  • Enquiries and product updates: the tool we use to receive and manage website enquiries, which the website forms send to.
  • The website’s chat: Vercel’s AI Gateway, which passes your question to an AI model from OpenAI or Google to write the reply, and Deepgram, which turns your speech into text if you use the microphone.
  • The website’s “Talk to Byte” demo: LiveKit, which carries the call audio, and xAI, whose voice model Byte uses in the demo.
  • Analytics and advertising: Google (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics), Microsoft (Clarity) and Meta (Meta Pixel). See Cookies and analytics.
  • Calls ByteVoice answers for our customers: the telephony, speech-to-text, AI model, voice and storage providers that run each customer’s service. Which providers are used depends on the customer’s plan and set-up. We give each customer the list, with the countries involved, before their service starts, and anyone can ask us for it.
  • the business you called, for calls ByteVoice answers on its behalf, and
  • regulators, courts or law enforcement, where the law requires it.

Our service providers may only use the information to provide their services to us.

Storage and overseas disclosure

On the Standard, Pro and Enterprise plans, call recordings, transcripts and caller details are stored in Australia. Some processing, such as speech recognition and AI responses, may happen outside Australia depending on your set-up, and we confirm where each part of your service runs before you start.

On the Starter plan, call data may be stored outside Australia. We tell each business which providers and countries apply to its service before it starts.

Our website is hosted by DigitalOcean in its Sydney, Australia data centre. The website’s chat and “Talk to Byte” demo, and the analytics and advertising tools it uses, rely on providers that may process information outside Australia, including in the United States (see Who we share it with).

Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to make sure it is handled in line with the APPs.

Security and retention

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, change or disclosure. These include encryption in transit, restricted access and access logging.

We keep enquiries and call data only as long as needed to provide the service and meet legal obligations, then delete or de-identify it. Contact us for specific retention periods.

Access and correction

You can ask for the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it. Email info@bytevoice.com.au. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to confirm your identity first, and in limited cases the law allows us to refuse (we will tell you why).

For information from a call to a business that uses ByteVoice, please contact that business first. We will help them respond.

Data breaches

If a data breach is likely to cause serious harm, we will assess it promptly and notify the people affected and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. For call data, we will also tell the affected businesses straight away, so they can meet their own obligations.

Questions and complaints

If you have a question or a complaint about how we handle personal information, email info@bytevoice.com.au. We aim to resolve complaints within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au or on 1300 363 992.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated. See also our legal terms.
