Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
Tenali AI, Inc. ("Tenali AI," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers and users. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, share, and protect information when you use our website (www.tenali.ai), desktop application, mobile application, web application, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing or using the Services, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
Tenali AI, Inc. may enter into written product or service agreements with business customers that contain specific provisions related to the confidentiality, security, or other handling of information. When provisions of a written agreement differ from or conflict with this Privacy Policy, the terms of the written agreement will apply.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your name, corporate email address, company name, and job title. We require corporate email addresses — public email domains (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.) are not accepted for account creation.
1.2 Meeting and Call Data
Our desktop application captures system audio from your sales calls for real-time transcription and intelligence. This includes:
- Audio streams captured locally on your device and streamed to our servers for transcription
- Meeting transcripts generated from your calls
- Meeting metadata such as meeting titles, participants (as detected from audio), timestamps, and platform (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, etc.)
- AI-generated meeting summaries and extracted action items
1.3 Knowledge Base Content
Content you upload or connect to Tenali AI for use as your organization's knowledge base, including documents, presentations, PDFs, and content from connected integrations (Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Slack, etc.).
1.4 Query and Usage Data
Questions you ask during or after calls, answers generated by our AI, and your interactions with the platform (feature usage, session data, page views).
1.5 Integration Data
When you connect third-party services, we access data within the scopes you authorize:
- CRM data from Salesforce or HubSpot (deal context, account information)
- Calendar data from Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar (meeting schedules)
- Call recordings from Gong or Fireflies.ai (transcripts and summaries)
- Files from Google Drive, OneDrive, or SharePoint (knowledge base documents)
- Notifications via Slack (channel-based alerts)
1.6 Device and Technical Data
We collect device identifiers, operating system version, application version, IP address, browser type, and error/crash reports. Our desktop application logs are sanitized to remove personally identifiable information before transmission.
1.7 Payment Information
Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers or bank account details on our servers. We retain only the transaction identifiers necessary for billing and subscription management.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Services, including real-time transcription and AI-powered answer generation
- Process and store your knowledge base content for retrieval during calls
- Generate meeting summaries, transcripts, and post-call intelligence
- Authenticate your identity and manage your account
- Communicate with you about the Services, including product updates and support
- Monitor and improve the performance, reliability, and security of the Services
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use
- Detect, prevent, and respond to security incidents or fraudulent activity
3. How We Use AI and Large Language Models
Tenali AI uses a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture to deliver real-time answers. It is important to understand:
We do NOT use your data to train or fine-tune any AI model. Your transcripts, documents, knowledge base content, and queries are never used to train, improve, or fine-tune any large language model (LLM).
Your data is used only at inference time. When you ask a question during a call, we retrieve relevant content from your organization's knowledge base and pass it to an LLM to generate a contextual answer. This happens in real-time and your content is not retained by the LLM provider.
Enterprise LLM providers. We use enterprise-tier APIs from Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI, under data processing agreements that contractually prohibit the use of customer data for model training.
Audio transcription. Audio is transcribed using AssemblyAI's enterprise API. Audio data is processed in real-time and is not stored by the transcription provider beyond the processing window.
Vector embeddings. Your knowledge base content is converted into vector embeddings for semantic search. These embeddings are tenant-scoped — they cannot be accessed by other organizations.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the following circumstances:
4.1 Service Providers (Sub-processors)

4.2 Third-Party Integrations
When you connect integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Google Drive, etc.), data flows between Tenali AI and these services based on the OAuth scopes you authorize. We access only the data necessary for the integration's stated purpose.
4.3 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
4.4 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any such change.
5. Data Storage and Security
5.1 Infrastructure
All data is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States (US-West-2 region). Our backend services run within private, network-isolated environments.
5.2 Encryption
- All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher
- All data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption
- Authentication tokens on the desktop application are encrypted using the macOS Keychain
- All credentials and API keys are managed through AWS Secrets Manager — no secrets are hardcoded
5.3 Access Controls

- Role-based access control (RBAC) restricting data access based on user roles
- Tenant-level data isolation ensuring organizations can only access their own data
5.4 Monitoring
We use application monitoring, distributed tracing, and automated health checks across all services. Sensitive data (tokens, credentials) is scrubbed from all logs and error reports before storage or transmission.

California Residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, and opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

8. Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies that the site needs to work, including one that remembers your cookie choice. With your consent, we also use Google Analytics and PostHog to understand how people use our website and docs: the pages they visit, how they found us, their browser and device, and what they click. PostHog may also record page interactions, with anything you type hidden. If you later sign up, these visits may be linked to your account. We don't use this data for advertising or sell it.
If you reject analytics cookies, PostHog still counts visits without setting cookies or storing an identifier on your device. It uses a code made from your IP address and browser that changes every day, so it can't follow you over time.
You can change your choice at any time in Cookie Preferences, in the website footer or the docs sidebar. We keep analytics data for up to 14 months and session recordings for 30 days. We rely on your consent for analytics cookies and on our legitimate interest for cookie-free visit counts. Google and PostHog process this data for us in the United States.
9. International Data Transfers
Tenali AI processes and stores data in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your data will be transferred to and processed in the United States. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international transfers in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
10. Children's Privacy
The Services are designed for business use and are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child, we will delete it promptly.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
12. Data Processing Agreement
Enterprise customers may request a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for GDPR compliance. Contact us at security@tenali.ai to request a DPA.
