Who We Are
Lazybrain SA (“Lazybrain,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Swiss company (IDE CHE-204.832.302), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. Our mission is to help our members discover serendipitous connections through a community-driven platform that combines personal profiles, AI-driven suggestions, and insightful event recommendations.
Why We Collect Your Data
We collect personal information primarily to:
Provide and personalize our services: Create your profile, suggest interesting members or events, and help you network more effectively.
Improve our community experience: Enhance the recommendations and AI-generated insights for you and other users.
Communicate with you: Send updates, reminders, or relevant community news.
Comply with legal obligations: Respect regulations such as the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (LPD) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We strive to be transparent about the data we collect and only use it in ways that benefit you and your experience on our Platform.
The Data We Collect
3.1 Registration & Profile Information
Mandatory details: Name, email, postal address, phone number.
Biographical data: We might conduct audio or video interviews to generate a personalized biography. You decide how much information you want to share (e.g., education, work experience, interests).
Profile completion: The Platform allows you to write text, add keywords, upload images, or share other personal info to improve recommendations.
Profile states:
Draft Mode: Only you can view and edit this version.
Published Mode: Visible to all community members.
3.2 User-Generated Content
Requests and event registrations: You may submit event sign-ups or networking requests through the Platform.
Messages and notes: Any content you create (e.g., suggestions, updates, or forum posts) is stored on our servers in Switzerland (Microsoft Azure).
3.3 Usage Data
Analytics: We collect anonymized, encrypted usage data (e.g., how you navigate the Platform) to troubleshoot issues and enhance features.
Notifications: If you opt in to push notifications (e.g., on your phone), we store an identifier to send you reminders and alerts.
3.4 Usage Data
We do not integrate directly with external email or other platforms—except for our AI-powered WhatsApp agent (see section 4.2). You’re free to revoke or delete data associated with this agent at any time (though it may limit certain community features).
How We Use AI and External Providers
4.1 AI Features on the Platform
We rely on AI to:
Suggest events, potential collaborators, or topics you might enjoy.
Generate or refine your biography and profile content using services from Azure OpenAI (Microsoft) and Freepik (for profile images)
Important:
We do not use your data to train our own model nor our providers.
We recommend reviewing the T&Cs of any third-party providers referenced on the Platform.
4.2 WhatsApp AI Agent
If you choose to interact with our AI agent on WhatsApp, your phone number and chat content are processed via WhatsApp (owned by Meta).
You can withdraw your permission to use the AI agent at any time (please contact us at privacy@lazybrain.ai). Note that revoking access will reduce or disable some AI-driven functionalities.
4.3 Experimental Interviews & Biography Generation
We’re currently experimenting with advanced AI techniques to produce higher-quality biographies:
Recording and transcription: Your interview will be transcribed via APIs like Gladia or Whisper (Microsoft Azure OpenAI Services), based in France.
Processing: We use OpenAI (Microsoft Azure OpenAI Services) to generate content. Data is stored and processed within our private Azure infrastructure in Switzerland and Sweden.
Manual review: The generated content is reviewed by a restricted team to ensure quality and accuracy.
Approval and publication: We’ll share the generated text with you for feedback and approval. Only after your approval is the content shared with the community. In case of a rejection no content is shared. At any time you can edit or remove it.
Processing Your Data
5.1 Third-Party Service Providers
AI: To power AI-based features, we transmit specific data to Azure OpenAI Services, Freepik, Gladia, etc. This data is used solely to deliver the requested functionality.

5.2 Legal Obligations and Potential Business Transactions

If we undergo a merger or acquisition, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction, with suitable privacy protections.
