2. Scope and Applicable Law
This Privacy Policy applies to all members globally. It complies simultaneously with: DIFC Data Protection Law 2020 (as amended by DIFC Laws Amendment Law No. 1 of 2025) as primary; DPDPA 2023 (India) and, until May 2027, the SPDI Rules under IT Act Section 43A; UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018; EU GDPR (Regulation 2016/679); CCPA/CPRA (California); and PIPEDA (Canada). Where these regimes impose different requirements, we apply the stricter standard.
3. Data We Collect
3.1 Data Collected Directly From You
Identity Data: name, phone number, WhatsApp number, email address, nationality, country of residence. Financial Asset Data: property values, gold holdings, investment portfolios, cash balances (manually entered). Documents: passport, visa, property deeds, insurance certificates (encrypted on your device via AES-256-GCM before upload; maivis stores only ciphertext). Family Member Data: names, relationships, phone numbers of family members you add (see Section 12).
3.2 Data Collected Indirectly From Third Parties (GDPR Article 14)
We obtain read-only financial data from your bank accounts through: Lean Technologies (UAE banks), Setu/Finvu Account Aggregator (Indian banks, RBI AA framework), and Plaid (US, UK, Canadian banks). This data is obtained after you provide explicit consent during the banking connection flow. Categories: account identifiers, balances, and transaction history. Financial transaction data may inadvertently reveal special category data (political donations, religious tithing, medical payments); we process this on the basis of your explicit consent.
3.3 Usage and Analytics Data
maivis uses two analytics systems: PostHog (self-hosted on GCP) for in-product analytics including feature interactions, screen views, and funnel completion; and Firebase Analytics (GA4) for the maiviswealth.com landing page, tracking page views, scroll depth, and CTA clicks. PostHog data never leaves maivis infrastructure. GA4 data is processed by Google within the EEA with IP anonymisation enabled. Neither system stores personally identifiable information.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Contractual Necessity (DIFC Art. 10(1)(b), GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)): Account creation, financial data aggregation, net worth calculation, WhatsApp message delivery, core service functionality.
Explicit Consent (DIFC Art. 10(1)(a), GDPR Art. 6(1)(a), DPDPA Section 6): Sensitive financial data, document vault, banking connections, family member data, analytics cookies. Consent is granular, purpose-specific, and withdrawable.
Legitimate Interest (DIFC Art. 10(1)(f), GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)): Anonymised product analytics, fraud prevention, security monitoring. Not applicable to India members (DPDPA does not recognise legitimate interest).
5. How We Use Artificial Intelligence
maivis uses AI services (Google Vertex AI, Anthropic Claude) to generate insights, briefings, and financial summaries. We employ a data minimisation gateway that strips all personal information before any data reaches AI providers. AI services receive only anonymised category percentages and financial trends. Never your name, account numbers, addresses, or individual asset details.
AI-generated outputs (insights, score context, briefing summaries) are transient and not permanently stored. The AI Data Gateway ensures compliance with the data minimisation principle under DIFC Article 11, GDPR Article 5(1)(c), and DPDPA Section 6.
6. Data Residency and Cross-Border Transfers
All conversation data (chat transcripts, message delivery status, contact preferences) is stored in maivis-controlled infrastructure on GCP. No third-party SaaS platform has access to customer communication data.
5.1 Storage Locations
- UAE and Middle East: Cloud SQL me-central1 (Doha, Qatar).
- India: Cloud SQL asia-south1 (Mumbai). Compliant with RBI data localisation.
- UK, US, Canada: Cloud SQL us-east1 (South Carolina, USA).
5.2 Cross-Border Transfer Mechanisms
- EU → DIFC: EU SCCs (June 2021, Module 2 C-to-P) + Transfer Impact Assessment.
- UK → DIFC: UK IDTA or UK Addendum to EU SCCs + Transfer Risk Assessment.
- DIFC → US: DIFC Standard Contractual Clauses.
- DIFC → India: DIFC SCCs. DPDPA permits transfers by default (no negative list as of March 2026). RBI data localisation mandates India-only storage for payment system data.
- UAE onshore → DIFC: Onshore UAE is a "Third Country" under DIFC law. Transfers require DIFC SCCs or Article 27 derogations.
7. Zero-Knowledge Document Vault
Documents are encrypted on your device before upload using AES-256-GCM. Encryption key derived from FIDO2/passkey credential via Argon2id (128-bit salt, 3 iterations, 64 MB memory). The key is never transmitted to our servers. maivis stores only ciphertext and cannot access plaintext under any circumstances, including legal requests. Under GDPR Article 34, CCPA §1798.82, and DIFC Article 42, breach notification to individuals may be exempted if encryption key was not compromised.
