Version: 1.5 | Effective Date: December 2, 2025 | View Change Log
1. Data Controllers and Service Tiers
Navigator offers different service tiers operated by two separate legal entities. The applicable data controller depends on which service tier you use:
1.1 Starter Tier (Fully Automated Service — EUR/USD 299)
The Starter tier is a fully automated service with no human consultant involvement. Weekly reports are generated automatically by AI. This tier is operated by:
Caimito Services LLC
A Delaware Limited Liability Company
2810 N Church St #26668
Wilmington, Delaware 19802-4447
United States
Privacy Contact: privacy@caimito.net
General Contact: info@caimito.net
1.2 Developer Advocate and Higher Tiers (Consultant-Supported Services)
All service tiers that include a personal consultant (Developer Advocate and above) are operated by an EU-based entity:
Caimito Agile Life S.L.
A Spanish Limited Company (Sociedad Limitada)
A3200 km 9.5
14448 Conquista, Córdoba
Spain
Privacy Contact: privacy@caimito.net
General Contact: info@caimito.net
For these tiers, Caimito Agile Life S.L. is the data controller. As an EU-based entity, GDPR applies directly and no EU representative is required.
1.3 Why Two Entities?
This structure reflects the nature of each service:
- Automated tier: Fully software-based, no human interaction, operated by the US technology company.
- Consultant tiers: Include human consulting services delivered by professionals based in the EU, operated by the Spanish consulting company.
Both entities are part of the Caimito group and share this privacy notice to ensure consistent data protection standards across all service tiers.
2. EU Representative (for Starter Tier)
Because the Starter tier is operated by Caimito Services LLC (a US entity) and is offered to users in the European Union, an EU representative has been appointed pursuant to Article 27 of the GDPR.
The EU representative for Caimito Services LLC regarding the Starter tier is:
Caimito Agile Life S.L.
A3200 km 9.5
14448 Conquista, Córdoba
Spain
EU Representative Contact: eu-representative@caimito.net
Scope: This EU representative appointment applies only to the fully automated Starter tier operated by Caimito Services LLC. The consultant-supported tiers (Developer Advocate and above) are operated directly by Caimito Agile Life S.L., an EU controller, and do not require a separate EU representative.
EU residents using the Starter tier may contact the EU representative for any matters relating to the processing of their personal data, including exercising their rights under GDPR.

4. Legal Bases for Processing
We process your personal data under the following legal bases as required by GDPR Article 6:
4.1 Contractual Necessity (Article 6(1)(b))
Most processing is necessary to provide the services you have contracted for, including:
- Account management and authentication
- Log entry storage and weekly report generation
- Billing, invoicing, and customer support
- Consultant services, time tracking, and project management (for supported tiers)
4.2 Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f))
We process certain data based on our legitimate interests in:
- Platform security, abuse prevention, and fraud detection
- Quality assurance of consulting services
- Essential service communications
These interests do not override your fundamental rights. You may object at any time.
4.3 Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c))
We retain invoices and billing records as required by tax law (typically 6–10 years depending on jurisdiction).
4.4 Consent (Article 6(1)(a))
We rely on consent only for optional features:
- AI-assisted text polishing and translation (sends selected text to OpenAI)
You may withdraw consent at any time by discontinuing use of these features or contacting us at privacy@caimito.net.
5. AI-Assisted Text Processing
Navigator uses artificial intelligence to generate weekly summary reports from daily log entries and to provide text polishing and translation features. AI processing is optional and user-initiated—data is only sent when you explicitly trigger an AI feature.
4.1 AI Provider
We use OpenAI, L.L.C. (San Francisco, California, USA) as our AI processing provider:
- Service: OpenAI API (GPT models)
- Role: Data processor acting under our instructions
- Agreement: OpenAI Data Processing Addendum (DPA)
4.2 What Data Is Sent
- Only the specific text content you select for processing (log entries, drafts)
- For weekly reports: the log entries from the reporting period
- No account credentials, email addresses, or metadata are sent
4.3 Purpose of Processing
- Weekly reports: Summarising daily log entries into actionable insights
- Text polishing: Improving clarity and readability of written content
- Translation: Converting content between supported languages
4.4 Data Retention by AI Provider
OpenAI's API data usage policy states that API inputs and outputs are not used to train models and are retained for a maximum of 30 days for abuse monitoring, after which they are deleted. For details, see OpenAI Enterprise Privacy and their API Data Usage Policies.
4.5 Location of Processing
OpenAI processes data in the United States. For transfers from the EEA/UK/Switzerland, we rely on:
- EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (OpenAI is a certified participant)
- Standard Contractual Clauses incorporated into OpenAI's DPA
- Encryption in transit (TLS) for all API communications
4.6 EU AI Act Transparency
Regulation 2024/1689 Compliance: Our AI usage is classified as limited-risk. AI-generated summaries are clearly marked and serve as advisory insights only. They do not evaluate individual employee performance, make automated HR decisions, or replace human judgment. Consultants review and can edit or reject AI-generated content before release.

Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where Caimito Services LLC is located and where our infrastructure providers operate.

- Account termination: Users or Customer Admins may request account/organisation termination by contacting privacy@caimito.net

For German residents: The competent authority is the data protection authority of your federal state (Landesdatenschutzbeauftragter).
We encourage you to contact us first at privacy@caimito.net so we can address your concerns directly.
11. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Navigator uses only strictly necessary cookies required for the service to function. These cookies are essential for authentication and security—without them, the service cannot operate. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies under ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3).
10.1 Cookies We Use
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Security Flags |
|---|---|---|---|
jwt |
Session authentication – maintains your logged-in state and verifies your identity on each request | 7 days | HttpOnly: Yes Secure: Yes (HTTPS only) SameSite: Lax Path: / |
JSESSIONID |
Language preference and temporary form state during sign-up flows | Session (deleted when browser closes) | HttpOnly: Yes Secure: Yes (HTTPS only) Path: / |
10.2 Classification
All cookies used by Navigator are classified as strictly necessary. They are required for:
- Authenticating users and maintaining secure sessions
- Preventing unauthorized access to your account
- Preserving your language selection during sign-up
10.3 What We Do NOT Use
Navigator does not use:
- Analytics cookies (no Google Analytics, Matomo, or similar)
- Advertising or marketing cookies
- Third-party tracking cookies
- Social media tracking pixels or widgets
- Cross-site tracking technologies
- Fingerprinting or any other user-identification techniques beyond authentication
10.4 No Consent Banner Required
Because Navigator uses only strictly necessary cookies that are essential for the service to function, no cookie consent popup or banner is required under GDPR Article 6(1)(f) and ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3). This transparency disclosure serves as your complete cookie information.
12. Special Category Data (Sensitive Data)
11.1 Nature of Log Entries
Navigator's daily log feature allows users to enter free-text notes about their work activities. Because these entries are unstructured, they may potentially contain personal information beyond what is necessary for professional work logging.
11.2 Not Intended for Special Category Data
Navigator is designed for professional work logging and reporting. We do not intentionally collect or process special category data as defined in Article 9 of the GDPR. Special category data includes:
- Health information (physical or mental health conditions, medical treatments)
- Racial or ethnic origin
- Political opinions
- Religious or philosophical beliefs
- Trade union membership
- Genetic data
- Biometric data for identification purposes
- Data concerning sex life or sexual orientation
Navigator is not intended as a platform for processing such data. Users should avoid entering special category information unless strictly necessary for the legitimate business purpose of their organisation.
11.3 User Guidance
To help protect privacy and maintain GDPR compliance:
- Focus on professional activities: Log entries should concentrate on work-related observations, project progress, technical challenges, and business interactions.
- Avoid sensitive details: Do not include health status, medical appointments, personal beliefs, union activities, or other special category information unless your organisation has explicitly determined this is necessary and lawful.
- Minimise personal identifiers: Where possible, avoid including unnecessary personal details about colleagues or third parties.
- Review before submitting: Consider whether your entry contains any information that would not be appropriate in a professional work log.
11.4 If Special Category Data Is Entered
If special category data is incidentally entered into a log entry:
- Users may edit or delete their own entries to remove such information.
- Organisation administrators (Customer Admins) are responsible for monitoring appropriate use within their organisation.
- You may contact us at privacy@caimito.net to request removal of specific data.
Where special category data does appear incidentally, the legal basis for any processing would typically be explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a) GDPR) implied by the user's deliberate entry of such information, or reliance on the customer organisation's own lawful basis and internal policies.
11.5 Security Protections
All free-text log entries—regardless of their content—receive the same robust security protections described in Section 13 (Data Security), including:
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- Role-based access controls
- Secure cloud infrastructure
Navigator does not perform automated categorisation, profiling, or special analysis of log entry content to identify special category data. We treat all log content uniformly from a security and storage perspective.
11.6 Organisational Responsibilities
Customer organisations are responsible for:
- Providing appropriate guidance to their members about what information should or should not be entered into logs
- Ensuring their use of Navigator aligns with their own data protection policies and legal obligations
- Determining whether any special category processing is necessary for their legitimate business purposes and ensuring an appropriate legal basis exists
- Monitoring and managing the content created by their team members
Caimito Services LLC acts as a data processor for log entry content on behalf of customer organisations (the data controllers for their employee/member data).
13. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data:
- Encryption in transit (TLS/HTTPS for all connections)
- Encryption at rest for stored data
- Passwordless authentication reducing credential theft risk
- Role-based access controls limiting data visibility
- Regular security updates and monitoring
- Secure cloud infrastructure with industry-standard certifications
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you have concerns about a security issue, please contact us immediately at privacy@caimito.net.
14. Children's Privacy
Navigator is a professional service not directed at individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.
15. Changes to This Privacy Notice
We may update this privacy notice to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated via email to organisation administrators. The effective date indicates when this version became active.
Continued use of Navigator after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated notice. We encourage you to review this notice periodically.
