Where We process personal data on behalf of Our business clients (for example, call recordings and transcripts of calls placed to a client's AI receptionist), We act as a Data Processor and Our client is the Data Controller.
WOCOM is in the process of registering with the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) of Jamaica as required under the DPA. Our registration number will be published on this page once issued.

Cross-Border Data Transfers
WOCOM operates infrastructure and engages service providers in multiple jurisdictions. Personal data may be stored or processed on servers located in:
| Jurisdiction | Type of data typically held |
|---|---|

| Canada | Backup storage and disaster-recovery copies of selected datasets. |
In accordance with Section 24 of the DPA, where personal data is transferred outside Jamaica, WOCOM ensures an adequate level of protection through one or more of the following:
- Written data-processing agreements with each provider, including obligations equivalent to those imposed by the DPA.
- Encryption of personal data both in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher) and at rest.
- Selection of providers that comply with recognised international standards such as SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and (where applicable) HIPAA.
- Reliance on Canada's status as a jurisdiction with comparable data protection laws (PIPEDA).
- For US transfers, additional contractual safeguards including data-processing addenda, sub-processor controls, and audit rights.
You may contact Our DPO at any time for further information on the safeguards in place for a specific transfer.

Other Disclosures
Business Transactions: If WOCOM is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of assets, Your Personal Data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide reasonable notice on the Website (and where appropriate, by email) before any such transfer becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Law Enforcement & Legal Obligations: WOCOM may be required to disclose Your Personal Data where required to do so by law, court order, or a valid request from a public authority — for example, a request from law enforcement, the courts, or a regulator. Where lawful, We will notify You before disclosing Your data.
Call Recording & AI Services
WOCOM provides AI-powered telephony services including WOCOM AI (AI receptionist), Contact Center, and AI Sentiment Call Analysis. The following terms apply specifically to those services:
Notice to callers
Inbound and outbound calls handled by these services may be recorded, transcribed, and analysed by automated systems. Callers will be given an audible notice at the start of the call advising that the call is being recorded and may be processed by AI. By remaining on the line, the caller is deemed to have been notified.
What is processed
- Audio recordings of the call.
- Machine-generated transcripts of the conversation.
- Sentiment scores, keyword extracts, and analytics derived from the transcript.
- Data entered by the caller (names, phone numbers, appointment requests, free-text messages).
Where processing happens
Speech-to-text, transcription, sentiment, and large-language-model inference are performed by AI providers located in the United States. See Cross-Border Transfers above. All transmission is encrypted.
Automated decision-making
Our AI services support call handling — they do not make legally significant decisions about callers. Where a caller would prefer to speak with a human, the AI is configured to escalate or take a message. You may request human review of any AI-handled call at any time.
Client responsibilities
Where You are a WOCOM business client using these services, You are the Data Controller for the personal data of Your callers. You are responsible for ensuring Your own privacy notice discloses Your use of WOCOM AI and for honouring data subject requests You receive from Your callers. WOCOM will reasonably assist You as Processor.
Deletion of recordings
You may request deletion of specific call recordings or transcripts at any time via Your client portal or by contacting Our DPO.
Third-Party Integrations & Google API Services
WOCOM AI allows You to connect third-party services such as Google Calendar to enable appointment scheduling and availability checking through Your AI receptionist. This section describes how We handle data obtained through these integrations.
Google Calendar Data
When You connect Your Google Calendar account, WOCOM AI accesses the following data through the Google Calendar API:
- Calendar events — event titles, start/end times, descriptions, locations, and attendee information, used to check Your availability and prevent double-booking.
- Event creation — new calendar events are created when callers book appointments through Your AI receptionist.
How We Use Google Calendar Data
Your Google Calendar data is used solely to:
- Check Your real-time availability when callers request an appointment.
- Create new events on Your calendar when appointments are confirmed.
- Display Your upcoming appointments within Your WOCOM AI portal.
Storage & Protection of Google Data
OAuth access tokens and refresh tokens are stored in encrypted form in Our database. Calendar event data is accessed in real time and is not permanently stored or cached beyond what is necessary to complete the booking transaction. All communication with Google APIs is conducted over encrypted HTTPS connections.
Google API Services — Limited Use Disclosure
WOCOM AI's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically:
- We only use Google data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and as displayed to You in the OAuth consent screen.
- We do not transfer Google data to third parties except as necessary to provide or improve the Service, for security purposes, or as required by law.
- We do not use Google data for advertising or to serve ads.
- Human employees do not read Your Google data unless You have given explicit consent, it is necessary for security purposes, it is required by law, or the data has been aggregated and anonymised for internal operations.
Revoking Access
You may disconnect Your Google Calendar at any time from the Integrations page in Your WOCOM AI portal. Upon disconnection, We immediately delete Your stored OAuth tokens and cease all access to Your Google Calendar data. You may also revoke access directly from Your Google Account permissions page.
Security Measures
WOCOM applies a range of technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including:
- TLS encryption (1.2 or higher) for all data in transit, including SIP/SRTP for voice traffic where supported.
- Encryption at rest for sensitive data stores and backups.
- Role-based access controls, least-privilege provisioning, and audit logging.
- Multi-factor authentication for administrative access.
- Regular vulnerability scanning, patching, and security testing.
- Strict Content Security Policy and HTTP security headers on our websites and portals.
- Confidentiality undertakings binding all employees and contractors.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but We continuously work to maintain a level of security commensurate with the risk.
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of Data Subjects, WOCOM will:
- Notify the Office of the Information Commissioner without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with Section 27 of the DPA.
- Notify affected Data Subjects without undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms.
- Maintain an internal record of every breach, including its facts, effects, and remedial action taken.
- Where We act as Processor for a business client, notify that client promptly so they can fulfil their own notification obligations.
Children's Privacy
The Service is intended for business users and is not directed to children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18 without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. If You believe We have inadvertently collected such data, please contact Us so We can promptly delete it.
Complaints & the Information Commissioner
If You have a concern about how We have handled Your personal data, please contact Our Data Protection Officer first at dpo@wocomja.com. We take all complaints seriously and will respond promptly.
If You are not satisfied with Our response, You have the right to lodge a complaint with the regulator:
