Who we are
Companio Pty Ltd (ABN 53683515291) (“Companio”, “we”, “us”, “our”) provides AI-powered tools and related services at companio.ai and connected apps (the “Services”).
We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information and how you can access and correct it.
If you don’t agree with this policy, please don’t use the Services.
Questions? support@companio.ai
We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically when you use the Services.
You give us:
Identity & contact data (name, email, phone, company, role)
Account data (usernames, hashed passwords, preferences)
Content (prompts, files, messages, and materials you submit to our AI tools)
Billing data (processed via Stripe – we don’t store full card numbers)
We collect automatically:
Usage & device data (IP address, browser/device type, pages visited, timestamps, crash logs)
Cookies/SDK data (to keep you logged in, secure the service, measure performance, and—if enabled—personalise marketing). See Cookies & Analytics below.
Sensitive information
We don’t actively seek “sensitive information” (e.g., health, biometric, religious beliefs). If you submit such data in prompts or uploads, you authorise us to process it to provide the Services. We apply heightened safeguards.
Google APIs / Workspace data (if you connect it)
If you connect Google APIs (e.g., Drive or Gmail), our use of Google data adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy (including “Limited Use”) and any relevant Google Workspace policies. We only access the minimum scopes you authorise and do not sell Google user data.

Compliance with law and enforcement of our terms
We provide AI functionality through third-party providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Cloud AI.
Your inputs (e.g., prompts, uploads) and outputs may be sent to these providers solely to generate results or perform safety filtering.
We apply contractual and technical controls and restrict use to service provision; we do not sell your prompts or outputs.
We may disclose personal information to:
Service providers (cloud hosting, security, analytics, email/SMS, support, payments)
AI service providers (§ 3) to generate results you request
Professional advisers (legal/accounting) under confidentiality
Authorities if required by law or to protect rights and safety
Business transactions (e.g., merger or acquisition) subject to safeguards
We take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle personal information in accordance with the APPs (APP 8).
Our servers and providers may process data in Singapore and the United States.
We use contracts and due diligence to maintain APP-equivalent protection. On request, we’ll tell you all countries where your data is likely to be disclosed.
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy (and longer if required by law, tax or dispute resolution). Then we delete or de-identify it using reasonable measures.
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards (access controls, encryption in transit, network security, monitoring, backups, staff training).
No method is 100 % secure; if an incident is likely to result in serious harm, we’ll comply with the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme by notifying affected individuals and the OAIC.
You can request access to personal information we hold and request corrections if it’s inaccurate or incomplete. We respond within a reasonable time under the APPs. Contact support@companio.ai.
Email/SMS: Unsubscribe via links in emails, reply STOP/UNSUBSCRIBE to SMS, or email us.
We don’t share SMS opt-in or metadata with third parties for their marketing.
We may still send service or transactional messages (e.g., receipts, security alerts).
We use cookies and similar tech to operate the site, remember preferences, secure accounts, and run analytics. We may use analytics/ads partners to measure performance and, where enabled, tailor advertising.
Blocking cookies may affect features. If required by your region, we’ll present consent controls.
Our current analytics/ads stack includes:
Cometly (attribution & analytics)
Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Ads, and Tag Manager
Meta Pixel and related business tools

If you’re not satisfied with our response, contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) for advice on complaints and privacy rights.
We may update this policy to reflect changes to our practices or legal requirements. We’ll post the new version with an updated “Last updated” date and notify you if material changes occur.
Payments — Stripe
We use Stripe to process payments. Stripe acts as an independent controller/processor under its own privacy policy and DPA. Your payment data is handled in accordance with those terms.
Google APIs / Workspace
If you connect Google, our use of that data is limited by the Google API Services User Data Policy (Limited Use) and Workspace policies; we request the minimum necessary scopes and don’t use Google data for advertising.
AI providers
We integrate third-party AI models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). We share only what’s needed to generate outputs or provide safety filtering and require providers to protect data and not use it for their own marketing.
European Union / United Kingdom (GDPR / UK GDPR)
If you’re in the EU/UK, you may have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and to complain to your local authority. Our legal bases include contract performance, legitimate interests, consent, and legal obligation.
