Privacy and Personal Data Processing Policy
ACHALAI processes two groups of information differently.
When a person visits our website, requests a demo, or manages an ACHALAI account, the Provider determines the purposes of that processing.
When a company uses ACHALAI to manage information of its employees, contractors, or other Occupants, the company decides what data to process and for what purpose. In that context, ACHALAI acts on behalf of the Client in accordance with the DPA.
We do not sell personal data.
Client Data is not used to train general Artificial Intelligence models, whether proprietary or third-party, without express contractual authorization.

In Argentina, processing is carried out in accordance with Law No. 25.326 and supplementary regulations, including, as applicable:
- consent;
- contractual or professional relationship;
- compliance with legal obligations;
- other situations expressly authorized by applicable regulations.
When the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union applies, processing will be based on the legal basis provided in Article 6 of the GDPR corresponding to each purpose.
Generic acceptance of this Policy shall not be used as a substitute for specific consent where legally required.
7. Mandatory and Optional Information
When data is essential to:
- register an account;
- provide a feature;
- respond to a request;
- issue an invoice;
- comply with a legal obligation,
the inability to provide it may prevent completion of that operation.
Optional fields will be identified or may be omitted without preventing the primary purpose.
8. Data Processed on Behalf of Clients
Companies using ACHALAI may upload information related to their Occupants.
Depending on the configuration, it may include:
- identification;
- contact information;
- area;
- location;
- position;
- hierarchical relationships;
- seniority;
- contractual information;
- compensation;
- benefits;
- performance;
- potential;
- succession;
- development;
- photographs;
- organizational information.
The Client determines what information it uses and for what purpose.
If an individual wishes to exercise rights regarding information uploaded by their employer or organization, they must primarily contact said organization.
ACHALAI will collaborate technically in accordance with the DPA.
9. Sensitive Data and Special Categories
ACHALAI does not generally require Clients to upload sensitive data.
The Client must avoid incorporating:
- health information;
- racial or ethnic origin;
- religion;
- political opinions;
- trade union membership;
- sexual life;
- genetic data;
- biometrics intended for unique identification;
- other specially protected categories,
unless there is a legitimate need, contractual authorization, and compliance with applicable legal requirements.
An ordinary photograph will not automatically be considered biometric data by ACHALAI unless processed through techniques designed to uniquely identify the individual.
10. Artificial Intelligence and Personal Data
ACHALAI distinguishes between:
Artificial Intelligence used during development
The process of building ACHALAI may use Artificial Intelligence tools as assistance for coding, design, documentation, testing, and improvement.
This does not authorize the use of Client Data or Occupant data in said tools.
Artificial Intelligence used within the product
If a feature of the Platform uses an external AI provider to process Client Data, ACHALAI must:
- identify that processing;
- incorporate it into the corresponding contractual framework;
- evaluate the provider;
- apply required legal safeguards;
- incorporate it as a subprocessor where applicable.
11. No General Model Training
Client Data and occupant data will not be used to train general Artificial Intelligence models, whether proprietary or third-party, without express contractual authorization from the Client and the existence of a valid legal basis.
12. Service Providers
ACHALAI uses technology providers to operate the website and Platform:
- Supabase Inc.: PostgreSQL database infrastructure, authentication, and secure storage.
- Vercel Inc.: Hosting, edge delivery, and web execution services.
- Resend Inc.: Delivery of transactional and authentication communications linked to the Platform (integrated via Supabase Auth).
- Google Workspace: Corporate email management and Provider communications.
- Google Analytics 4: Public website analytics measurement only when the visitor has granted consent.

13. Sale of Data
ACHALAI does not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties for their own advertising purposes.
14. International Transfers
The use of technology providers may involve processing of information outside Argentina.
When an international transfer requires additional safeguards under applicable regulations, ACHALAI will use legally recognized mechanisms, such as:
- adequacy decisions;
- standard contractual clauses;
- data processing agreements;
- other permitted safeguards.
For transfers governed by Argentine legislation to jurisdictions not considered adequate, ACHALAI will adopt, where applicable, the mechanisms provided by the AAIP.
Acceptance of this Policy shall not be used as supposed consent of Client Occupants to legitimize international transfers carried out by the Platform in a general manner.
When the GDPR applies, onward transfers will be carried out in accordance with its Chapter V.
15. Security
ACHALAI applies reasonable and risk-proportionate technical and organizational security measures.
Concrete measures may evolve with the Platform.
Only those measures that can be technically verified will be published as implemented.
No technology can guarantee absolute security.
16. Retention
Data will be retained for the time necessary for the corresponding purpose and, subsequently, for the periods required by legal obligations or to address legitimate responsibilities.
Client Data is retained in accordance with:
- duration of the service;
- instructions from the Client;
- DPA;
- reasonable technical backup cycles.
17. Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies used by achalai.com are described in the Cookie Policy.
Non-essential analytical cookies are subject to visitor consent where applicable.

“The Agency for Access to Public Information, in its capacity as the Supervisory Body of Law No. 25.326, has the attribution to address reports and claims filed in connection with non-compliance with the rules on personal data protection.”

20. Automated Decision-Making
ACHALAI is designed as a decision-support platform.

ACHALAI does not intend for an automated result to indiscriminately replace the judgment of individuals responsible for an employment decision.
21. Minors
The website and Platform are designed for business contexts and are not directed to minors as end users.
Clients must not upload minor information unless legitimately necessary for a permitted business purpose and supported by a sufficient legal basis.
