security & compliance

Where your call data lives, and what the law requires

Recognition, synthesis and the language model run on our own servers, so conversations do not depend on third-party services. This page sets out where data is processed, how long we keep it, what we can evidence, and which obligations stay with you.

the stack

The conversation runs on our own infrastructure

Most voice-agent vendors rent recognition, the model and synthesis from third-party APIs. Every rented layer is another company holding your customer's voice. Ours are in-house.

01

Nothing rented in the call path

Speech recognition, the language model and speech synthesis all run on servers we operate. Your call data stays in-region and does not pass to third-party speech providers to be processed.

02

Fewer parties, fewer questions

A shorter processing chain is easier to describe to your legal team, because each additional processor is another agreement, another location and another breach surface to account for.

03

Substitution stays possible

We can connect other providers where a project needs it. When we do, we tell you which layer changed and where that provider processes data, before it goes live.

data location & transfers

Processed in the EU, governed from Dubai

Benerra is registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. That makes the transfer question a real one, so here is the honest structure rather than a badge.

Processing in the European Union

Website form submissions and server logs are processed on our own infrastructure in the EU. The site itself is served over HTTPS.

Access from outside the EU

Where staff at our Dubai headquarters access data belonging to EU residents, that transfer is covered by appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

A representative inside the EU

Because we are established outside the EU, we are supported by an appointed representative in the European Union under Article 27 GDPR. EU residents can address requests to them or to us.

A short chain, named safeguards, and a contactable representative. No badge does that work for you.

what we hold, and for how long

Retention you can actually check

24 months

Contact and demo requests, counted from our last exchange with you, so we can follow up on an enquiry.

12 months

Web server logs: requested pages and timestamps, kept to keep the site secure and working.

180 days

Two cookies only. One remembers your cookie choice, one stores your pricing region. Nothing else is set.

Never

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for third-party advertising. There is no exception to this.

Regional pricing uses a one-time country lookup from your IP address, only after you accept optional cookies. We store the resulting region, not your IP address.

auditability

Every call is transcribed and scored, not sampled

Quality assurance and compliance evidence are the same problem: you cannot attest to what nobody reviewed. A manual QA team reaches 3–5% of calls, which is our own figure from running live call operations.

100% reviewed by Locator

Locator, our speech analytics, transcribes and scores every call against the checklist you agree with us: whether the script was followed, which objections came up, what was promised. When someone asks what the agent said on a specific call, there is a record and a score, not a sample.

What that gives a compliance review

A complete set of scored conversations, on the same criteria, across the whole period under review. That is the difference between asserting your calls are compliant and being able to show it on any call someone picks.

the division of responsibility

What stays yours, and where we help

The fastest way to stall an AI calling project is to build the agent first and discover the legal basis for the list afterwards. This is the honest split, and none of it is legal advice: consult your own counsel for your jurisdiction.

yours

The right to call the list

You own the lawful basis for contacting the people on it, and the record of how that basis was obtained. This is the item that most often needs work before launch, and it is not something a vendor can supply for you.

yours

The local rulebook

Consent regimes, do-not-call registers, recording notices and rules on telling the person they are speaking to an automated system all differ by country, and collections calling has its own constraints. Your counsel decides what applies to you.

ours

Building what you decided

We configure the scenario to match those decisions: how the agent introduces itself, what it must say and must not say, when it stops and hands to a person, and what gets logged for every call.

Decide the rules first, then build the agent around them. That order is the whole difference.

questions we get from security reviews

Frequently asked questions

Where is our call data processed?
Recognition, the language model and synthesis run on servers we operate, so conversation data stays in-region and is not sent to third-party speech providers. Website form submissions and server logs are processed on our own infrastructure in the European Union. If a project requires a different provider in the call path, we tell you which layer and which location before it goes live.
Benerra is registered in Dubai. How is EU data handled?
Two mechanisms. First, we are supported by an appointed representative in the European Union under Article 27 GDPR, which is required of any controller established outside the EU that processes the data of people in the EU. Second, where our Dubai staff access data belonging to EU residents, that transfer is covered by appropriate safeguards including the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
Do you hold ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification?
We are not claiming certifications we do not hold, and you should treat any vendor page that is vague on this as a negative answer. What we can describe concretely is the architecture: an in-house call path with no rented speech providers, EU processing for site data, named transfer safeguards, published retention periods, and 100% of calls transcribed and scored so any conversation can be produced on request. If your review requires specific certifications, tell us early and we will give you a straight answer rather than a maybe.
Who is responsible if a call breaches local calling rules?
You own the lawful basis for contacting the people on your list and the decision about what your jurisdiction requires, because only you know how those contacts were obtained. We own building the agent to match those decisions: how it introduces itself, what it must and must not say, when it hands off to a person, and what is logged. Settle the rules before the build, not after.
Can we get a record of what the agent said on a specific call?
Yes. Locator transcribes and scores every call, not a sample, against the checklist agreed with you. That means a specific call can be produced with its transcript and its score, and it also means a review period can be assessed on consistent criteria rather than on whichever calls a QA team happened to pull.
What data does the website itself collect?
The contact form takes a name, business email, phone number and company name. The demo-call feature takes the number you want called. Two cookies are set, both lasting 180 days: one records your cookie choice, the other stores your pricing region. If you accept optional cookies we perform a single country lookup from your IP address to select regional pricing, and we store the resulting region rather than the IP address. Full detail, including your rights and how to exercise them, is in the privacy policy.
