Introduction

Welcome to WayStation (“we,” “our,” or “us”), a service provided by 43D Corporation. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the service.

Information Collection and Use

WayStation is designed to connect Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT or Claude with productivity apps like Monday, Google Drive, or Slack. We prioritize your privacy and data security in the following ways:

  • We do not store any of the data that is passed between apps and LLM providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic
  • User authentication is handled through Clerk, a third-party authentication service
  • The only information we retain are access tokens necessary for connecting to your productivity apps

Types of Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal data:

  • Account Information: Email address and authentication details managed by our identity provider
  • Access Tokens: Encrypted tokens required to connect to third-party services
  • Usage Data: Anonymous analytics about feature usage and performance metrics
  • Log Data: System logs for security and troubleshooting purposes

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

  • Contract Performance: Processing necessary to provide our services as outlined in our Terms of Service
  • Legitimate Interests: Processing that serves our legitimate business interests, such as improving our services and ensuring security
  • Consent: Processing based on your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time
  • Legal Obligations: Processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulations

Data Storage and Processing

WayStation is hosted on Vercel's infrastructure in the United States. While we process data to provide our services, we maintain a minimal data retention policy:

  • Data passing through our service is not stored or logged
  • Access tokens are securely stored and encrypted
  • All data processing occurs in real-time

Data Storage Policy

43D stores Customer Data in accordance with industry best practices for security and reliability. All data is encrypted both in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256) with robust key management. Customer Data is stored in SOC 2 compliant cloud infrastructure with geographical redundancy for disaster recovery. For enterprise customers, data locality options are available to address regional compliance requirements. Data is logically segregated by a customer to prevent unauthorized access between tenants. Regular backup processes ensure data recoverability, and all storage systems are continuously monitored for security and performance. Access to stored data is strictly controlled through role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication.

Data Retention

43D will retain Customer Data in accordance with applicable legal requirements and customer agreements. Customer Data will be retained only for as long as necessary to provide the service and fulfill contractual obligations. By default, data will be retained throughout the active subscription period. Enterprise customers have the option to specify custom retention periods aligned with their internal policies. Upon subscription termination, Customer Data will be retained for a maximum of 30 days to allow for account recovery or data export, after which it will enter the archival process.

Data Removal and Deletion

43D will remove Customer Data in accordance with our documented data lifecycle management procedures. Upon subscription termination or explicit customer request, data will enter a 30-day grace period before permanent deletion. Enterprise customers can request immediate removal via our secure customer portal. Archival processes include secure data purging from primary storage, backup systems, and caches. Data removal is comprehensive across all systems and verified through automated integrity checks. 43D maintains detailed logs of all deletion activities for audit purposes, and customers receive a confirmation once the removal is complete.
