Privacy policy
Last updated: April 2, 2026
The short version
We collect what we need to run the service — your account info, support data, and usage data. AI conversations are sent to Anthropic or OpenAI for processing, but we do not use your data to train AI models. If you sign in with Google or another OAuth provider, we only access your basic profile. Your API keys are encrypted. We use cookies only for essential functionality. You can export or delete your data at any time. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
1. Who we are
Mova Desk is operated by Greenwood 360 LLC ("Greenwood 360", "we", "us", or "our"). This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you use the Mova Desk service at desk.usemova.app and movadesk.com, including our website, web application, mobile applications, APIs, embeddable widgets, and any related services (collectively, the "Service").
2. Information we collect
Plain English
We collect the info you give us when you sign up, the support data you create, and basic usage data so we can keep things running.
Account information
When you create an account, we collect your first name, last name, email address, and optionally your phone number. If you sign up through an organization, we also collect your organization name and role.
Support and content data
We store the content you create within Mova Desk, including:
- Tickets, customer messages, internal notes, and file attachments
- Knowledge base articles, categories, and search queries
- Live chat transcripts, voice recordings (with dual consent), and screen-share sessions
- AI conversation history and agent action logs
- Automation rules, SLA configurations, and workflow settings
- Canned responses and email templates
API keys (BYOK)
If you provide your own API keys for Anthropic or OpenAI, we store them in encrypted form using application-level encryption. We only use these keys to process your AI requests and never share them with any third party.
Usage data
We automatically collect:
- Feature usage patterns (which features you use and how often)
- AI token consumption per action
- Login timestamps and IP addresses
- Device type and browser information
- Error logs and performance data
Billing information
Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number. Stripe provides us with a partial card number (last four digits), expiration date, and billing address for record-keeping purposes. See Stripe's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle payment data.
Phone numbers and SMS data
If you or your organization uses Mova Desk's SMS/MMS features, we collect and store:
- Phone numbers of your agents, customers, and message recipients
- SMS/MMS message content (sent and received) for support history and compliance purposes
- Opt-in and opt-out records, including timestamps and method of consent
- Delivery status and carrier information for troubleshooting
- A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration data
We retain SMS consent records for a minimum of five (5) years after the last message is sent to a given number, as required by TCPA and CTIA guidelines.
OAuth and third-party sign-in data
If you sign in using a third-party provider (Google, Microsoft, GitHub, Apple, etc.), we receive and store:
- Your name, email address, and profile picture as provided by the OAuth provider
- A unique identifier from the provider (used to link your external account to your Mova Desk account)
- An encrypted access token used solely for authentication purposes
We do not receive or store your password from any OAuth provider.
3. How we use your information
We use your information for the following purposes:
- Providing the Service: Operating the platform, processing AI requests, delivering notifications, managing your tickets and support workflows
- Billing: Processing payments, tracking credit usage, issuing receipts
- Communication: Sending service-related notices, responding to support requests, delivering notifications you have configured (including SMS/MMS)
- Improvement: Analyzing aggregated usage patterns to improve features, fix bugs, and develop new capabilities
- Security: Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
- Legal compliance: Meeting our legal obligations and responding to lawful requests
- SMS campaign facilitation: Sending SMS and MMS messages on behalf of your organization to your customers, as configured and authorized by you
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your support data, conversations, or content for advertising purposes.
4. AI data processing
Plain English
When you use AI features, your ticket data and messages are sent to Anthropic or OpenAI to generate responses. We do not train AI models on your data. The AI providers have their own data policies.
When you use AI features in Mova Desk:
- Ticket content, customer messages, and relevant context are sent to the configured AI provider (Anthropic Claude or OpenAI) for processing.
- Mova Desk does not train AI models on your data. We use the AI APIs strictly to generate responses for your requests.
- AI providers process your data according to their own privacy policies and data processing agreements:
- When using Mova Desk-provided API access (not BYOK), API calls are made through our accounts with these providers, and standard API data-handling terms apply (which generally do not include training on API inputs).
- We store AI conversation history on our servers so you can review past interactions. You can delete conversation history at any time.

While we implement commercially reasonable security measures, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
