08

The Atender mobile app

In shortThe Atender iPhone app shows a support agent the conversations in their employer's Atender workspace. It carries no advertising and no third-party analytics or tracking software.

This section describes the Atender app for iPhone. It applies in addition to the rest of this notice. The app is used at work: an agent signs in with an account created by their employer, which is the organisation that holds the Atender subscription (the 'workspace'). That employer decides what is in its workspace and for how long; Atender AS processes that content on the employer's instructions, under the agreement between us.

What the app collects

Your account
Your name, email address and role in the workspace, so the app can sign you in and show who did what.
Conversation content in the workspace
The app displays the conversations your workspace already holds — the messages, calls, notes and attachments exchanged with your employer's customers, together with the contact details attached to them, such as name, email address and phone number. The app shows this content; it does not create a separate copy of it.
Device details for push notifications
If you turn on notifications, the app registers this iPhone with Atender: an Apple push token, the device name, the iOS version, the app version and an identifier for this installation. That is what lets an alert reach this phone rather than someone else's.
What you search for
When you search your workspace — for a snippet, a macro or a conversation — the words you type are sent to our servers to run the search. They are not kept as a search history. Our error and performance monitoring, which runs on Sentry as a processor on our instructions, now removes the text from the web addresses it records, so search words do not reach it through that route; in rare cases text can still reach it inside the detail of an error, and monitoring records made before September 2026 can hold search text until they age out. Any of it is used to fix the service, not to build a profile of you.
How you use the app
Some actions you take are recorded against your account so the product can work: using a snippet or a macro is written down with your user id, which is what builds your recent-snippets list and the usage reports your workspace administrators see. This is our own record — it is not sent to an analytics company.
Diagnostics
Requests the app makes to Atender are logged on the server for security and troubleshooting, and can include your account identifier, the device and the time. Crash reports are collected by Apple and shared with us only if you have enabled that in iOS Settings.

How it is used

Account and device information is used to sign you in, keep the session secure and deliver notifications you asked for. Records of how you use the app are used to power features such as your recent snippets and the usage reports your workspace sees, and to work out which parts of the product to improve. Conversation and contact content is used to show you your workspace so you can answer your employer's customers. Diagnostics, including anything that appears in error and performance monitoring, are used to keep the service running and secure. The app does not use any of this for advertising, and does not sell it.

Who it is shared with

Push notifications are delivered through Apple's Push Notification service, which means the alert text passes through Apple. Turning notifications off in iOS stops that. The workspace itself runs on the providers listed at atender.com/subprocessors — including Supabase for the database and file storage — each of which is bound by a written agreement to protect the data at least as strongly as this notice requires, to process it only on our instructions, and not to use it for their own purposes. We do not share app data with any party that offers weaker protection.

How long it is kept, and how it is deleted

Conversation and contact data belongs to your employer's workspace and is kept for as long as that workspace keeps it. The device record for notifications is kept until you turn notifications off, sign out, remove the device in the app, or delete the app — whichever happens first. To delete your own account, ask an administrator in your workspace, who can remove it; you can also write to hello@atender.com and we will act on the request together with your employer. When a workspace ends its subscription, its data is deleted or returned as set out in the agreement with that customer.

How to withdraw consent

You can turn notifications off at any time in iOS Settings or in the app, which stops the push token being used. You can sign out to end the session on this device, and you can delete the app. Where we rely on your consent for anything else, you can withdraw it by writing to hello@atender.com. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place lawfully, and does not by itself delete the workspace content your employer controls.

If you are a customer of a business that uses Atender and you want your data corrected or removed, contact that business. We will help them act on your request.

09

Do we collect information from minors?

In shortWe do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18, or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under 18, please contact us at hello@atender.com.

10

What are your privacy rights?

In shortIn some regions (like the EEA and UK), you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information.

These may include the right to: (i) request access and obtain a copy of your personal information; (ii) request rectification or erasure; (iii) restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) where applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information.

If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority.

Withdrawing consent
If we are relying on your consent, you have the right to withdraw at any time by contacting us. This will not affect processing already completed lawfully.
Opting out of marketing
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails, or by contacting us.
Cookies and similar technologies
Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can usually choose to remove or reject them, though this may affect certain Services features.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at hello@atender.com.

11

Controls for do-not-track features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ('DNT') feature you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals. If a standard is adopted, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

12

Do California residents have specific privacy rights?

In shortYes. California residents are granted specific rights regarding access to their personal information.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 ('Shine The Light') permits California residents to request, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes, and the names and addresses of those third parties.

If you are under 18, reside in California, and have a registered account, you have the right to request removal of unwanted data that you publicly post on the Services. Contact us with the email address associated with your account and a statement that you reside in California.

13

Do we make updates to this notice?

In shortYes. We will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

The updated version will be indicated by a revised date and will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes, we may notify you by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently.

14

How can you contact us?
