Legal
Privacy, cookies and AI data
1. Overview
This policy explains how [[NEEDS VALUE: legal entity name]] (“Tayl”, “we”, “us”) handles personal information in connection with the Tayl website at www.tayl.in and the Tayl desktop application for Windows.
The website is a marketing site with a download email gate and a contact form. It has no user accounts. The desktop application runs on your PC, keeps business data in a local SQLite database, and has no Tayl-hosted backend for user data.
2. What the website collects
Download email
When you request the Windows installer, you submit an email address, a consent confirmation and an optional product-updates preference. The email is used to provide the download link and, if you opt in, to send occasional product updates.
Contact form
When you use the contact form, you submit your name, email address, a topic and a message, plus a consent confirmation and an optional product-updates preference. We use this to respond to you and to understand the issue you reported.
Where submissions go
Website submissions are sent as JSON to a submissions endpoint configured by the site owner ([[NEEDS VALUE: public contact email]] is used for the waitlist mailto fallback when no endpoint is configured). That endpoint is[[NEEDS VALUE: form processor name]] until the owner deploys one (for example a Google Apps Script connected to a spreadsheet) and sets `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUBMISSIONS_ENDPOINT`. It is not a Tayl-hosted user database. We do not sell website submissions.
Technical data
The hosting provider processes standard request data needed to serve the site, such as IP address, user agent and requested URL, for security and reliability. We do not use this site to build advertising profiles.
4. Retention and deletion
We keep website email and contact submissions until you ask us to delete them or until they are no longer needed for the purpose they were collected. We may retain limited records where required by law, to resolve a dispute or to prevent abuse.
To request access, correction or deletion of an email or contact submission, use the contact form and describe what you want removed. We may need to verify that you control the email address before acting on a deletion request.
5. The desktop application
Tayl is installed on your Windows PC. Business data, uploaded documents, connected records and the working context are stored in a local SQLite database on that machine. There is no Tayl-hosted backend for user data.
The app connects to third-party tools through their own authorisation flows. Those tools are your accounts and remain subject to their privacy policies. When you uninstall Tayl and delete its local data, the local copy is removed; data in your connected accounts is not deleted by that action.
See the documentation for the removal steps.
6. Cloud LLM data flow
On first run you choose a cloud LLM or a local LLM and supply your own API key or model details. Tayl does not provide an API key.
If you choose a cloud provider, the content of your queries is sent to that provider using your key. The provider's terms and privacy policy govern how it handles that content. Tayl cannot make promises on the provider's behalf. If you choose a local LLM, question answering can run without sending query content to a cloud provider, subject to your hardware.
Your local database and uploaded documents are not hosted by Tayl. The query content described above is the part that leaves your machine when a cloud LLM is selected.
7. AI usage
Tayl uses a language model to help answer questions and produce recommendations over the business data you have connected or uploaded. Answers are intended to be grounded in that data with evidence attached, and the product should say when there is not enough evidence.
AI output can be wrong or incomplete. It is not legal, financial, tax, accounting or other professional advice. You remain responsible for checking the evidence and for any decision you make.
The website forms described in this policy are used to provide the download and to respond to messages. They are not a source of business context for the desktop app.
8. Google user data
The Google Workspace connector lets you authorise Tayl to read Google Docs, Sheets and Drive content you choose to connect. Google user data is used only to provide the connector features described on the Integrations page and in the app: reading the content you authorise so Tayl can build local business context and answer your questions.
Tayl's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Google user data is not sold, is not used for advertising, and is not used to train general-purpose AI models by Tayl. It is processed on your PC as part of the local business context. If you choose a cloud LLM, the content of a query — which may include excerpts needed to answer it — is sent to that provider as described above.
Draft note: the exact OAuth scope list and the final Limited Use wording must be checked against the shipped Google Workspace connector before this policy is published.
9. Your choices and rights
- You can ask to access, correct or delete website submissions by contacting us.
- You can uninstall the app and delete its local data at any time.
- You can choose a local LLM instead of sending query content to a cloud provider.
- You can manage or revoke connected-tool access in that provider's account settings.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable data protection law. This draft does not claim compliance with any specific regime; the final policy should be reviewed against the laws that apply to the operator.
10. Grievance and contact
For privacy questions, deletion requests or a grievance, use the contact form or write to the grievance contact: [[NEEDS VALUE: grievance officer name and contact details]].
The legal entity is [[NEEDS VALUE: legal entity name]]. The registered address is [[NEEDS VALUE: registered business address]].
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page shows when it changed. If a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to make it visible.
