Privacy policy

Last updated:

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how REtelligent Pty Ltd and its subsidiary REtelligent EU SRL (collectively, “REtelligent,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you use our property maintenance management platform at https://www.retelligent.co/ and related services (the “Platform”).

REtelligent operates across two jurisdictions. This Policy is designed to comply with:

·       The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — applicable to our EU operations through REtelligent EU SRL, registered in Romania.

·       The Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) — applicable to our Australian operations through REtelligent Pty Ltd.

Where this Policy refers to obligations under a specific jurisdiction, it is clearly indicated. Where no jurisdiction is specified, the provision applies to both.

EU Representative, for the purposes of Article 27 GDPR, we have appointed Igor Sekatski as our EU Representative. You may contact our EU Representative at dpo@retelligent.co.

For the purposes of the GDPR, the data controller depends on the context of processing. Where we provide the Platform to property operators (our B2B customers), the property operator is typically the data controller and REtelligent EU SRL acts as the data processor. For data we collect directly (e.g., website visitors, vendor registrations), REtelligent EU SRL is the data controller.


3. What Personal Information We Collect

3.1 Tenant Personal Data

When tenants interact with the Platform (e.g., submitting maintenance requests), we may process:

·       Names and contact details (email address, phone number)

·       Property and unit addresses

·       Maintenance request content, including descriptions of issues and complaints

·       Communication history (messages sent and received through the Platform)

3.2 Vendor and Trade Data

When vendors and tradespeople use or are registered on the Platform, we may process:

·       Business names and trading names

·       Trade qualifications, licences, and specialisations

·       Job history and performance metrics on the Platform

·       Invoice data and payment records

3.3 Geo-Stamped Photographs

The Platform enables the capture of photographs for maintenance documentation purposes. These photographs may contain embedded metadata including GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) and timestamps. Under the GDPR, location data constitutes personal data and is subject to heightened protection.

3.4 Communication Logs

We may process records of communications sent via the Platform, including SMS messages and WhatsApp messages used for vendor follow-ups, maintenance coordination, and service notifications.

3.5 AI Triage and Automated Processing Data

Our Platform uses artificial intelligence to assist in triaging maintenance requests and matching vendors. This processing involves maintenance request inputs, triage categorisation outputs, dispatch recommendations, and confidence scores. Section 8 of this Policy provides further detail on automated decision-making.

3.6 Website and Technical Data

When you visit https://www.retelligent.co/, we may automatically collect:

·       IP address and approximate geolocation derived from IP

8. Automated Decision-Making and Artificial Intelligence

8.1 How We Use AI

REtelligent uses artificial intelligence to assist in the management of property maintenance. Specifically:

·       Triage Categorisation: Our AI system analyses maintenance request descriptions to categorise requests by urgency (e.g., emergency, urgent, standard, routine) and type (e.g., plumbing, electrical, structural).

·       Vendor Matching: The AI recommends suitable vendors based on trade qualifications, availability, proximity, historical performance, and job requirements.

·       Dispatch Prioritisation: The system generates recommended dispatch priority based on request urgency, vendor availability, and property requirements.

8.2 Your Rights Regarding Automated Decisions (GDPR, Art. 22)

Under the GDPR, where automated processing produces decisions that significantly affect you, you have the right to:

·       Obtain meaningful information about the logic involved, the significance, and the envisaged consequences of such processing

·       Request human review of an automated decision

·       Express your point of view and contest the decision

REtelligent maintains human oversight of AI-assisted decisions. Financial approvals, complex exceptions, and edge cases are reviewed by qualified human operators. Property operators retain the ability to override any AI recommendation.

8.3 Australian Automated Decision-Making Transparency

In compliance with the Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024 (effective 10 December 2026), we disclose the following:

·       Types of personal information used in automated decisions: maintenance request descriptions, property type, request category, vendor qualifications, historical performance data.

·       Decisions made solely by automated processes: initial triage categorisation of maintenance request urgency level.

·       Decisions where automation substantially and directly influences the outcome: vendor matching recommendations and dispatch priority suggestions, which are reviewed and approved by property operators.

8.4 EU AI Act Classification

REtelligent has assessed the AI Features against Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. The AI Features are currently classified as general-purpose and are not operated as a high-risk AI system within Annex III. Where transparency obligations apply under Art. 50, we identify AI-generated outputs and inform users they are interacting with AI-assisted tooling. We review this classification at least annually and upon material changes to the AI Features.
