Overview
The points below summarize key aspects of this Policy. They are provided for convenience and do not replace the full text that follows.
- We act as a data controller for our website and account-holder data, and as a data processor when handling end-user interactions on behalf of our customers.
- We do not sell personal data. We do not use customer or end-user content to train foundation models except where expressly disclosed and authorized under applicable contractual terms.
- Personal data is processed only for defined purposes, retained no longer than necessary and protected with appropriate technical and organizational measures.
- Individuals in the EEA, the United Kingdom and certain U.S. states have rights with respect to their personal data, which they may exercise as described in this Policy.
Who we are
KleonoxAI is a technology company headquartered in Athens, Greece. We develop and operate Mentoros, an enterprise AI assistant platform that includes customer-facing assistants, a merchant console for configuration and knowledge management, and analytics for conversation intelligence.
For the purposes of European Union and United Kingdom data protection law, KleonoxAI is the controller of personal data collected through our website and account-holder interactions. When we process personal data on behalf of a customer in connection with the operation of a Mentoros assistant deployed on that customer\u2019s property, we act as a processor; the customer is the controller. This distinction is described further in Section 3.
Scope
This Policy applies to personal data processed in connection with:
- The KleonoxAI website and any related domains operated by us;
- The Mentoros platform, including the merchant console and APIs;
- Mentoros AI assistants deployed on customer websites or applications;
- Communications and other interactions between an individual and KleonoxAI.
This Policy does not apply to third-party websites, products or services that may be linked from, or integrated with, our Services. Those third parties are responsible for their own processing of personal data and operate under their own privacy notices.
Roles and responsibilities
Data protection law distinguishes between a “controller”, which determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, and a “processor”, which processes personal data on behalf of a controller. The roles of KleonoxAI differ depending on the context.
KleonoxAI as controller
We act as controller for personal data collected directly from individuals through our website, sales interactions, account registration, support communications and similar channels. We determine the purposes and means of that processing and are accountable under applicable law.
KleonoxAI as processor
When a customer deploys a Mentoros assistant on its own property, the customer determines the purposes and means of processing personal data submitted by, or collected from, end users. KleonoxAI processes that personal data on the documented instructions of the customer and in accordance with a Data Processing Agreement.
Customer responsibilities
Customers are responsible for providing appropriate notices to their end users, obtaining any consents required under applicable law, configuring retention and access controls within the Services and ensuring that their use of the Services complies with applicable law.
What data we collect
We collect different categories of personal data depending on how an individual interacts with the Services and on customer configuration. The categories below describe the principal types of personal data processed.
Sources of personal data
We collect personal data directly from individuals, automatically through use of our website or Services, from customers that configure and operate Mentoros deployments, and from service providers or third parties where relevant to account administration, security, communications, or lawful business operations.
Categories of personal data
Account and identification data
- Name, business email address and job title
- Company name and billing entity

Purpose. To deliver the conversational AI service, generate responses, support the customer’s analytics requirements and address security or troubleshooting events. Where this data is processed on behalf of a customer, that customer determines the retention and use of the data, subject to applicable law.
Usage, device and log data
- IP address and approximate location derived from it
- Browser type, version and language settings

Legal bases for processing (EEA and United Kingdom)
Where the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) applies, we rely on the following legal bases for processing personal data:
Performance of a contract
Processing necessary to enter into or perform a contract with the individual or the organization they represent.
Examples
- Provisioning and operating the Mentoros platform for a customer
- Administering authentication, billing and account management
- Providing customer support requested by the individual
Legitimate interests
Processing necessary for legitimate interests pursued by KleonoxAI or a third party, where those interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of the individual.
Examples
- Securing and protecting the Services against abuse and fraud
- Improving service reliability, performance and quality
- Conducting business administration and analytics on aggregated data
Consent
Processing based on the individual’s freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.
Examples
- Use of non-essential cookies and similar technologies
- Marketing communications where consent is required
- Optional research or beta program participation
Compliance with a legal obligation
Processing necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which KleonoxAI is subject.
Examples

How Mentoros data flows
The following description outlines, at a high level, how personal data moves through Mentoros when a customer deploys an assistant on its property.
- 1
Customer configuration
The customer uploads or connects content (FAQs, product catalogs, documentation) and configures their assistant through the merchant console.
- 2
End-user interaction
An end user interacts with the assistant on the customer’s property. The assistant processes the message together with relevant configuration and content.
- 3
Response generation
Where appropriate, the assistant uses third-party AI model providers to generate a response. Conversation content may be processed by these providers for the purpose of generating a response, subject to applicable contractual and technical safeguards.
- 4
Logging and analytics
Conversation logs and analytics are made available to the customer through the merchant console. Access controls and retention settings are configured by the customer, subject to applicable law.
Disclosures and subprocessors
KleonoxAI does not sell personal data. We disclose personal data only in the limited circumstances described in this Section and subject to appropriate contractual and technical safeguards.
Subprocessors and service providers
We engage carefully selected third parties to support the operation of the Services. These subprocessors are contractually required to process personal data only on our documented instructions and to maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures. The categories of subprocessor we engage are:
- Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers
- AI model providers used to generate assistant responses
- Payment processing providers
- Email, communications and customer messaging providers
- Logging, monitoring and analytics providers
- Customer support and ticketing platforms
- Security, fraud prevention and identity verification services
A current list of subprocessors is available to customers on request and is identified in the applicable Data Processing Agreement.
Legal and regulatory disclosures
We may disclose personal data where we are required to do so by law, by a court order or by other legally binding request, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of KleonoxAI, our customers, our personnel or the public, and to enforce our agreements.
Corporate transactions
In the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization or sale of all or part of our business or assets, personal data may be disclosed or transferred to the relevant counterparty, subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings and applicable law. We will provide notice where required.
With your consent or at your direction
We may disclose personal data to other third parties where the individual has given consent or has otherwise directed us to do so.
International transfers
KleonoxAI is established in the European Union. To deliver the Services, personal data may be transferred to, or accessed from, jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, including countries that have not been recognized as providing an adequate level of protection.
Where such transfers occur, we implement appropriate safeguards, which may include:
- Transfers to countries benefiting from an adequacy decision of the European Commission or the United Kingdom government;
- Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission, together with the United Kingdom International Data Transfer Addendum where applicable;
- Other transfer mechanisms permitted under applicable law, supplemented as necessary by additional technical and organizational measures.
Information about the transfer mechanisms applicable to a specific processing activity is available on request to the contact identified in Section 17.
Data retention
We retain personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, as described in this Policy, or to comply with our legal, regulatory and contractual obligations. The criteria we use to determine retention periods include the nature and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes of processing and applicable legal requirements.
Indicative retention principles
- Account data is retained for the duration of the customer relationship and for a reasonable period thereafter.
- Conversation and interaction data processed on behalf of customers is retained in accordance with the customer’s configuration and instructions, subject to applicable law.
- Usage, device and log data is retained for the period necessary to operate, secure and analyze the Services.
- Records relating to legal, tax and accounting obligations are retained for the periods required by applicable law.
When personal data is no longer required, it is deleted, anonymized or otherwise rendered no longer associated with an identifiable individual, in accordance with our internal procedures.
Security
We maintain a written information security program that includes technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. These measures include, among others:
- Encryption of personal data in transit and, where appropriate, at rest;
- Role-based access controls and authentication for systems that process personal data;
- Logging, monitoring and alerting on access to production systems;
- Periodic risk assessments and review of security controls;
- Personnel training on data protection and information security;
- A documented incident response process, including notification procedures required by applicable law.
Notwithstanding these measures, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Privacy rights
Subject to applicable law and to verification of identity, individuals may have rights with respect to their personal data. The specific rights available depend on the law of the relevant jurisdiction. Region-specific notices are set out in Section 14.
Submitting a request
Requests to exercise privacy rights may be submitted using the channels described in Section 17. Where KleonoxAI acts as a processor, end users should direct their requests to the relevant customer, which is the controller of the personal data; we will assist customers, as required, in responding to such requests.
Authorized agents
Where permitted by applicable law, an authorized agent may submit a request on behalf of an individual. We may require evidence of the agent\u2019s authority and verification of the individual\u2019s identity before processing the request.

References to the United States in this Policy do not imply the existence of a single federal privacy law of general application. The rights described above are conferred by individual state laws and apply only to residents of states that have enacted such laws and only to the extent the relevant statutory thresholds are met.
Automated decision-making and profiling
KleonoxAI uses automated systems to process prompts, retrieve relevant content, generate assistant responses, and support analytics within the Mentoros platform. These processes may involve automated evaluation of content relevance, usage patterns, and system behavior.
KleonoxAI does not intentionally make solely automated decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects on individuals in the ordinary course of providing the Services, unless such processing is explicitly configured by a customer and permitted under applicable law.
Where applicable law grants rights relating to automated decision-making or profiling, individuals may contact us or, where we act as a processor, the relevant customer.
Children\u2019s privacy
The Services are intended for business use and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children where doing so is prohibited by applicable law. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete that personal data.
Customers that deploy Mentoros in contexts directed to children are responsible for compliance with applicable children\u2019s privacy laws, including, where applicable, the U.S. Children\u2019s Online Privacy Protection Act.
