Privacy Notice
Acompli is committed to protecting personal data and respecting privacy. This notice explains how personal data is processed when you use the Acompli website, platform, and related services.
Last updated: 26 September 2026
Acompli Ltd ("Acompli", "we", "us", "our") provides an AI-powered privacy and data protection governance platform, including DPIA assessment management, risk management, task management, RoPA, data mapping, document management, third-party risk management, workflow automation, and reporting.
Contact: privacy@acompli.ie
Address: Acompli Ltd, Block B, Maynooth Business Campus, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland
1.1 Our role: controller and processor
Depending on the context, Acompli acts as:
- Controller for personal data relating to website visitors, sales and marketing contacts, platform administration (account provisioning, authentication, invoicing, customer communications), and our own security/operations logging; and
- Processor for personal data contained within customer-controlled content submitted into the platform (for example, DPIAs, risk registers, RoPA entries, tasks, documents, third-party assessments, and related attachments) ("Customer Content"), where we process that data on the customer's instructions under a data processing agreement.
If you are an end user invited by an Acompli customer organisation, your primary relationship for Customer Content is typically with that organisation (as controller). Where appropriate, we support the organisation in responding to requests.
2.1 Data you provide
- Account and profile data: name, work email address, job title, organisation, department/team (if provided), and user preferences.
- Authentication data: login credentials (stored as hashed passwords where applicable), single sign-on identifiers or tokens where you sign in via Microsoft or Google, multi-factor authentication factors (if enabled), and account recovery information.
- Commercial account and invoicing data: billing contact details, billing address, the deployment scope recorded in the enterprise agreement, invoices, payment references, and transaction records.
- Support and communications: information you provide when you contact us (support tickets, demos, feedback, email correspondence, and related attachments).
- Customer Content (processor data): data entered or uploaded into the platform by you or your organisation, including DPIA content, risks, tasks, RoPA entries, third-party risk assessments, policies, evidence documents, diagrams, and metadata linked to those records.
2.2 Data we collect automatically
- Usage data: feature usage, page views, clicks, workflow stage changes, timestamps, and interactions within the platform.
- Technical and device data: IP address, browser type/version, device identifiers, operating system, language settings, approximate location derived from IP (country/region), and application diagnostics.
- Security and audit logs: login events, session activity, administrative actions, access to records, and system events used to maintain platform security, integrity, and auditability.
2.3 Special category data
Acompli does not require special category data to provide the platform. However, Customer Content may include special category data if a customer chooses to include it (for example, within a DPIA). Where Acompli processes such data within Customer Content, it does so as processor on the customer's documented instructions and subject to the customer's configured access controls.
We process personal data for the following purposes:
- Platform delivery and operations: to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the platform and its modules.
- Account administration: user provisioning, authentication, access control, role management, and user support.
- Agreement and invoicing administration: managing enterprise agreements, invoicing, payment administration, fraud prevention, and accounting.
- Customer support and service communications: responding to enquiries, troubleshooting, and sending transactional messages (verification, password reset, security notifications, and service updates).
- AI-powered features (where enabled): drafting assistance, response enhancement, entity extraction, risk identification, summarisation, and report generation.
- Analytics and product improvement: understanding platform usage and performance, diagnosing issues, and improving user experience.
- Security and abuse prevention: monitoring, logging, access control enforcement, vulnerability management, and incident response.
- Legal and compliance: meeting legal obligations and enforcing our agreements.
Acompli provides optional AI-enabled features. When you (or your organisation) use these features, relevant inputs (which may include extracts of Customer Content) may be processed by our AI service providers, which may include OpenAI (and/or equivalent enterprise AI providers, depending on configuration).
Acompli's approach is privacy-centric:
- No model training by Acompli on Customer Content. We do not use Customer Content to train our own general-purpose models.
- Provider training controls. Where we use OpenAI's business offerings (for example, via API), those services state that customer business data is not used to train models by default unless explicitly opted in.
- Minimisation. We design AI features to send only the information needed to perform the requested task.
- Access controls. Acompli personnel do not routinely access Customer Content. Access is restricted and permitted only where necessary for support, security, or legal reasons, and typically only with customer authorisation and appropriate controls.
Website chat assistant. The chat assistant on acompli.ie is an AI system, and its answers can be wrong. When you use it, the messages in your conversation are sent to our website API and to OpenAI's API, which generates each answer from information about Acompli published on this website. We do not save chat conversations. Your IP address is used for up to 24 hours to limit misuse of the assistant. Your browser keeps the conversation in session storage until you close the chat or the tab (see our Cookie Policy). Please do not enter personal data in the chat, particularly health information or other special category data. To reach a person, use our contact page or email info@acompli.ie.
Where Acompli acts as controller, we rely on the following legal bases (as applicable):
- Contract: to provide the platform and related services to customers and authorised users.
- Legitimate interests: to operate our business, secure the platform, prevent fraud/abuse, and improve services (balanced against individual rights).
- Consent: where we ask you to opt in to optional processing (for example, certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies).
- Legal obligation: to comply with applicable laws (for example, tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements).
Where Acompli acts as processor, the customer organisation determines the lawful basis for the processing of Customer Content.
We do not sell personal data.
We may share personal data with:
- Service providers and sub-processors supporting hosting, infrastructure, monitoring, customer support tooling, email delivery, analytics, and AI processing (where enabled), bound by contractual confidentiality and security obligations.
- Billing and payment service providers where needed to administer invoices and reconcile enterprise-agreement payments.
- Professional advisers (lawyers, auditors, insurers) where necessary for advice and compliance.
- Authorities and regulators where required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
- Corporate transactions (restructuring, merger, acquisition, sale) where permitted by law, with appropriate safeguards.
Personal data may be processed in the EEA/UK and, depending on customer configuration and sub-processors used (including AI processing), may be processed in other jurisdictions (which can include the United States).
Where international transfers occur, we use appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions and/or Standard Contractual Clauses with supplementary measures where required.
We implement technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data, including:
- encryption in transit and, where applicable, at rest;
- role-based access controls and least-privilege permissions;
- audit logging and monitoring;
- tenant and organisational segregation controls; and
- secure development practices and vulnerability management.
We retain personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Typical retention (which may vary by customer configuration and contractual terms):
- Account and profile data: for the duration of the account and a reasonable period thereafter for reactivation, support, and legal purposes.
- Customer Content: retained in accordance with the customer's enterprise agreement and configuration. Deleted items may remain recoverable for a limited period (for example, backup/restore windows), subject to platform settings.
- Billing records: typically retained for 7 years to meet tax and accounting obligations.
- Security and audit logs: retained for up to 12 months (or longer where required for investigations or compliance).
- Sales and support communications: typically retained for up to 2 years, or longer where they form part of an active customer relationship or are required for legal reasons.
Where Acompli acts as controller, you may have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability (where applicable), and withdrawal of consent (where processing is based on consent).
Where Acompli acts as processor for Customer Content, requests should generally be directed to the customer organisation that controls the content, though Acompli can assist the customer where appropriate.
