Meta Business Tools
We use tools provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland) to measure ad performance, show more relevant ads and deliver customer support via WhatsApp. Specifically:
5.1. Meta Pixel
The Meta Pixel is a script that loads cookies and collects information about the pages you visit, the actions you take (page view, lead, schedule call, purchase) and device information. Data is sent to Meta to measure conversions, build custom audiences and optimise ad delivery. The Pixel only fires after your explicit consent via the cookie banner.
5.2. Conversions API (CAPI)
We complement the Pixel with Conversions API, which sends events server-side to Meta for deduplication and browser-block resilience. Before sending them we hash personal identifiers (email and phone) with SHA-256, as required by Meta.
5.3. Custom and lookalike audiences
We build audiences from conversion events and hashed customer lists to show ads to people with similar profiles. You can opt out of these audiences at any time from your Facebook/Instagram account settings, under ‘Ad preferences’.
5.4. WhatsApp Business Platform
When you provide your WhatsApp number or start a conversation with our bots, messages are transmitted through Meta/WhatsApp infrastructure. Meta acts as processor at the transport layer; Noctua AI is controller with respect to the content and AI response logic.
5.5. Joint controllership
For Pixel and Conversions API events, Meta and Noctua AI act as joint controllers under Meta's Controller Addendum, available at www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.

- TLS 1.2+ encryption for all communications.
- Encryption at rest for databases and backups.
- Role-based access control (RBAC) and least-privilege principle.
- Mandatory multi-factor authentication for internal operators.

Automated decisions and AI
Some of our services use large language models (LLMs) to generate responses, summarise conversations and classify intents. These automations do not produce legal effects on you nor take decisions that significantly affect your rights. You can request human intervention at any time by writing to agustin@noctuaai.site.
We do not use your content to train our or third-party AI models unless you give us explicit consent. The AI providers we use (OpenAI, ElevenLabs) operate in enterprise API mode with training opt-out.
