6. AI Processing & Third-Party AI Services

AttendMe uses third-party AI services to process your queries and generate responses:

  • AI Provider: Your queries are sent to OpenAI's API (GPT models) to generate evidence-based responses
  • Data Sent: Only the text of your query is transmitted. No patient data, personal identifiers, or medical records are sent
  • Zero Retention: OpenAI operates under a zero-retention API policy — your data is not stored by OpenAI and is not used to train their models
  • Embeddings: We use OpenAI's embedding models to match your queries against our curated medical literature database. Embeddings are mathematical representations, not readable text
  • No Patient Data: AttendMe is a literature research tool. Never enter patient-identifiable information into queries

By using AttendMe, you consent to your queries being processed by OpenAI as described above.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You can request deletion at any time. Some data may be retained longer for legal or security purposes.

8. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate AttendMe:

  • OpenAI — AI query processing and text embeddings (zero-retention API, US-based)
  • Supabase — Database and authentication (Singapore, Asia-Pacific)
  • Vercel — Web hosting and edge network (global)
  • Stripe / RevenueCat — Payment processing (web / mobile)
  • Sentry — Error monitoring and crash reporting
  • PostHog — Anonymized product analytics

Each service operates under its own privacy policy and data processing terms.

9. Data Storage and International Transfers

AttendMe Pty Ltd is an Australian company. Your data is primarily stored and processed within the Asia-Pacific region:

  • Singapore (Asia-Pacific) — Primary database (Supabase)
  • Sydney, Australia (Asia-Pacific) — Cache and session data
  • Global Edge Network — Web hosting (Vercel) — serves from nearest location to user
  • United States — AI processing (OpenAI), error monitoring (Sentry)

We ensure all data transfers are protected by:

  • Data Processing Agreements with all service providers
