AI Voice Technology
NuWatt Energy uses artificial intelligence to power our voice agents that follow up on service inquiries. Here is how our AI voice technology handles your data:
Technology provider: We use OpenAI's Realtime API to power our AI voice agents. Audio from calls is processed by OpenAI in real-time for the purpose of generating conversational responses.
Audio processing: Call audio is streamed to OpenAI's servers during the call for real-time speech-to-text conversion and response generation. OpenAI's API data usage policies apply to this processing.
Transcript storage: Call transcripts are generated during the call and stored in our secure database for customer service, compliance documentation, and quality assurance purposes.
No sale of data: We do not sell call recordings, call transcripts, or any data derived from phone conversations to third parties.
No third-party marketing: Call data is never shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
For more information about how OpenAI processes data, you may review OpenAI's privacy policy at openai.com/privacy.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention — Call Data
We retain phone communication data according to the following schedule:
Call recordings (audio files): Retained for 90 days from the date of the call, then automatically and permanently deleted from our systems.
Call transcripts: Retained as part of your customer record for as long as we maintain an active customer relationship, plus any additional period required by applicable law.
Call metadata (date, time, duration, outcome): Retained as part of your customer record for the same period as transcripts.
Consent records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of consent or revocation, as required for TCPA compliance documentation.
You may request early deletion of call recordings and transcripts at any time by contacting us at privacy@nuwattenergy.com. Consent records may be retained as required by law even after other data is deleted.
