Introduction

At Verve AI, your privacy and data security are fundamental to everything we do. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information — and your rights under UK GDPR and related privacy regulations.

Verve AI is built using secure, modern infrastructure:

  • Supabase (our secure backend database)

  • OpenAI (our AI engine for forecasting)

  • Shopify API (for syncing your store data)

All these providers are trusted globally and follow strict compliance standards.

What We Collect

During the beta testing phase, Verve AI may collect the following data:

  • Your name, email, and store domain

  • Product catalog and variant data from Shopify

  • Historical sales data for forecasting

  • Your inputs or interactions with Verve AI (e.g., forecast adjustments, comments)

  • Usage analytics (feature usage, errors, performance logs)

  • Optional feedback (forms, surveys, support queries)

We do not collect:

  • Customer or payment information from your Shopify store

  • Shopify account credentials or passwords

  • Customer personal data (e.g., customer names, emails, etc.)

  • Sensitive personal data (e.g., medical, legal, or biometric info)

All data is collected exclusively to improve Verve AI's functionality and user experience.

How We Use Your Data

We use your data only to:

  • Generate accurate inventory forecasts based on your product history

  • Help you identify trends and plan smarter restocks

  • Improve app performance, UX, and forecasting logic

  • Prioritize features that match user needs and behavior

We may internally review anonymized or aggregated data to identify patterns and refine algorithms.

We do not:

  • Sell or monetize your data

  • Use your data to train OpenAI's public models

  • Share your data with any third party beyond our infrastructure providers

Your data remains securely within Verve AI's systems and is never used for advertising or external marketing.

Data Protection & Infrastructure

Verve AI leverages infrastructure that ensures:

  • SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance

  • TLS encryption for data in transit

  • AES-256 encryption for data at rest

  • Role-based access controls and secure login

  • Monitored and logged platform access

  • Disabled API logging (where applicable) with OpenAI to prevent data retention

We enforce least-access principles for our team, meaning only essential personnel have access to user data — and only when needed.

AI Forecasting Limitations

Verve AI helps automate forecasting — but it's not a replacement for your own business judgment.

Please note:

  • Forecasts are based on historical data and assumptions

  • Outputs may vary in accuracy, especially for new or low-volume products

  • Always validate forecasts before making purchasing or financial decisions

Verve AI does not provide financial, investment, or business advice.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

As a user in the UK or EU, you have the right to:

  • Access or export your data

  • Correct any inaccuracies

  • Request deletion of your account and data

  • Withdraw from the beta or future versions

  • File a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

To exercise any of these rights, contact: hello@getverveai.com

Data Controller & Subprocessors

Verve AI is the data controller for user data collected during app use.
We use the following GDPR-compliant subprocessors:

  • Supabase – secure data storage

  • OpenAI – AI model responses

  • Shopify – your connected store's data via API

For embedded tools or future white-labeled versions, Verve AI may act solely as a technology provider and not store data from third-party implementations.

Data Retention & Exit Plan

  • Your beta data will be stored securely until 30 days after the beta concludes

  • If you opt in to the full version, your data will continue seamlessly

  • If not, your account and data will be permanently deleted after 30 days

  • You can request early deletion at any time via email

Summary

At Verve AI, we're committed to:

  • Treating your store and product data with the highest level of care

  • Using your information only to improve our forecasting engine

  • Giving you full control and transparency over your data

  • Helping you plan smarter without sacrificing privacy or control
