Privacy Policy

Effective date: 26 June 2026

This policy explains what Adtro Media Pte. Ltd.collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have. We've written it in plain language.

1. Information we collect

Account information

When you register, we collect your name, business name, email address, and password (stored as a one-way hash — we never store your plain-text password).

Business and product data

Product catalogues, pricing, inventory, outlet details, booking policies, loyalty programme settings, and any other content you upload to run your storefront.

Documents and files you upload

If you or your team upload documents to iBot or eBot (such as SOPs, menus, contracts, reports, or policy files), we store these files and process their content — including any personal data they contain — using OCR (optical character recognition) and AI to extract, classify, and index information for your AI assistants. Do not upload documents containing personal data of third parties (such as your staff or customers) unless you have a lawful basis to do so.

Customer data you collect

When your customers place orders, make bookings, join a queue, or interact with your storefront or WhatsApp number, we process their WhatsApp number, name, and order or booking details — and, depending on your business type, any notes or preferences they provide (for example dietary requirements or service preferences) — on your behalf. You are the data controller (the "organisation" under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act) for your customers' information; Adtro Media acts as your data intermediary for this data, as explained in Section 8.

Payment information

We do not store full card numbers. Payments are processed by Stripe. We retain only transaction identifiers and amounts needed for order records and receipts.

Social media account data

If you connect a social media account (such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or TikTok) to use our marketing or messaging features, we collect and store the account ID, username, profile picture URL, and OAuth access token provided by that platform. Where you enable inbox features, we also process customer messages and message identifiers from connected Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp accounts so you can view and reply to conversations. This data is used solely to publish content, retrieve analytics, and operate your connected inbox on your behalf. We do not use it for advertising or share it with third parties beyond what is necessary to operate those features.

Usage data

We automatically collect log data including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and feature interactions to operate and improve the platform.

2. How we use your information

  • Operate and deliver the Adtro Media platform and its features
  • Power AI features (iBot and eBot) that help you and your customers interact with your business data and knowledge base
  • Process transactions and send order confirmations
  • Send transactional emails such as email verification and password resets
  • Provide customer support and respond to enquiries
  • Improve platform performance, fix bugs, and develop new features
  • Comply with legal obligations including tax, anti-fraud, and data protection laws
  • Send product updates and announcements (you can opt out at any time)

3. AI and automated processing

Our AI assistants

iBot (a staff-facing assistant) and eBot (a customer-facing assistant) use AI models hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Bedrock — including models developed by Amazon and Anthropic — to answer questions, generate suggestions, and, where enabled, automatically reply to customer WhatsApp messages.

Data sent to AI models

To provide these features, relevant business data (such as orders, bookings, inventory, customer profiles, and uploaded documents) and customer messages are sent to AI models for processing. AWS Bedrock does not use this data to train its underlying foundation models, does not share it with model providers for their own purposes, and does not retain prompts or outputs beyond what is needed to generate the response.

Document processing

Uploaded documents may also be processed using AWS Textract (optical character recognition) to extract text from scanned files, and may be embedded into a vector index to support knowledge-base search.

Human oversight

AI-generated suggestions for actions such as marketing campaigns, loyalty changes, or product updates require a staff member to review and confirm them before they take effect. eBot may send automated replies to customers without prior review, depending on your configuration — you control whether this is enabled.

4. Who we share your data with

Service providers

We share data with trusted third-party providers who help us operate the platform — including Stripe (payments), Amazon Web Services (cloud infrastructure, AI, and document processing), and Zoho (transactional email). These providers are bound by data processing agreements and may not use your data for their own purposes.

AI infrastructure providers

To power iBot and eBot, relevant data is processed by AWS Bedrock (including underlying models from Amazon and Anthropic) and AWS Textract, as described in Section 3. These providers process data only to deliver the AI response and do not use it to train their own models.

Meta (WhatsApp and Instagram)

To enable WhatsApp messaging features, we pass the minimum required information through the Meta Business API. If you connect an Instagram or Facebook account, we receive platform data (account identifiers, usernames, profile pictures, access tokens, post publishing results, analytics, and customer messages where inbox features are enabled) from Meta via the Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and WhatsApp APIs. This data is used exclusively to publish posts, retrieve analytics, show conversations, and send replies on your behalf, and is not used for advertising or shared with third parties. All data received from Meta is handled in accordance with Meta's Platform Terms.

Legal obligations

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Adtro Media, our users, or the public.

No selling of data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or your customers' data to any third party for marketing purposes.

5. International data transfers

Our infrastructure is hosted on AWS in the Asia Pacific (Singapore) region. Some service providers we use — including Meta, Stripe, and AI model providers accessed via AWS Bedrock — may process data in other regions as part of delivering their services. Where data is transferred outside Singapore, we rely on our providers' contractual and technical safeguards, including encryption in transit and at rest, to protect it.

6. How long we keep your data

Active accounts

We retain your account and business data for as long as your account is active.

After account closure

When you close your account, we begin deletion within 30 days. Certain records may be retained longer where required by law — for example, financial transaction records may be kept for up to 7 years for tax and audit purposes.

Documents and AI knowledge base

Documents you upload to iBot or eBot, and the data extracted or indexed from them, are retained while your account is active. When you delete a document, it and its extracted data are removed from active storage and the AI knowledge base, subject to routine backup retention.

Automated retention schedules

WhatsApp event logs are retained for 365 days. Audit logs and consent records are retained for 730 days and 1,825 days respectively. QR payment proof is retained for 730 days. Social media access tokens (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok) are retained for as long as the account connection is active and deleted within 30 days of disconnection or account closure. Connected inbox message records are retained while the merchant account is active, unless deleted earlier by request or account closure.

7. Your rights

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Deletion — request erasure of your personal data (subject to legal retention obligations)
  • Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
  • Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Withdraw consent — where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at contactus@adtromedia.com. We aim to respond within a reasonable time and in any case no later than 30 days, in accordance with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and, where applicable to you, the EU/UK GDPR or other data protection laws. To request deletion of data received from Meta platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, or WhatsApp), you may disconnect the related account from the Marketing or WhatsApp settings in your dashboard, which will trigger deletion of associated tokens and account data.

8. Our role under data protection law

Your business and your customers

When you use Adtro Media to operate your storefront, you collect and control personal data about your own customers and staff (such as names, WhatsApp numbers, order history, and booking details). For this data, you are the "organisation" under Singapore's PDPA (or "data controller" under GDPR), and Adtro Media acts as your "data intermediary" (or "data processor") — we process this data only on your instructions, to provide the platform's features.

Your obligations

You remain responsible for ensuring you have a lawful basis (such as consent) to collect and process your customers' and staff's personal data, for honouring their rights — including access, correction, and deletion requests — and for complying with the PDPA and any other laws that apply to your business.

Adtro Media's account and platform data

For data we collect about you and your business directly — such as your account details, billing information, and usage data — Adtro Media is the organisation/data controller, as described elsewhere in this policy.

9. Cookies and session storage

Session cookies

We use secure, HTTP-only session cookies to keep you logged in. These expire when you log out or when your session times out.

CSRF protection

A CSRF token cookie is set alongside your session to protect against cross-site request forgery attacks.

No advertising cookies

We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

10. How we protect your data

  • All data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.2 or higher
  • Passwords are stored using scrypt — a memory-hard one-way hashing algorithm
  • Social platform access tokens (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok) are encrypted at rest using AES-256
  • Cloud infrastructure is hosted on AWS with access controls and audit logging
  • We run regular security reviews and promptly patch known vulnerabilities

11. Children's privacy

Adtro Media is intended for business use by individuals 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us through the platform, please contact us so we can delete it.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a prominent notice in the dashboard. Your continued use of Adtro Media after the effective date of the revised policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

13. Contact us

Adtro Media Pte. Ltd. (UEN 202519799G) is responsible for this policy. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or want to make a data request, please email us at contactus@adtromedia.com. We aim to respond to all privacy enquiries within 5 business days.
