3. Account Creation and Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of unauthorized use. 

4. Intellectual Property and Data Rights

a. Your Content:

All data, inputs, or information processed through the Services remain your property. We do not claim ownership but require certain rights to handle your data to provide the Services.

b. Permissions You Grant Us:

i. You grant OVA a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, use, analyze, and distribute your content during the service term. This is solely to provide and enhance our services. The specific data we handle is governed by settings you control.

If “hipaaEnabled” is set to True, data persistence is disabled, and no call logs, recordings, or transcriptions are stored. Additionally, no data is used for AI model training. 

If “hipaaEnabled” is set to False, call data persistence is enabled. You allow us to use stored data for improving features like interruption detection. 

In all cases, we do not use your content to gather customer-specific intelligence. Our focus is solely on optimizing your AI voice agent’s performance without accessing personal caller information.

Any feedback you provide is voluntary and grants OVA the right to use it without obligations, including confidentiality. You give us a perpetual, royalty-free license to adapt and use feedback commercially or non-commercially.
