Accuracy

What if the chatbot provides answers that are wrong, inaccurate, or misleading?

We work hard to make PerfectBot truly perfect, but remember that its answers can be misleading. Due to the nature of machine learning and the unreliability of AI tools, we make no guarantees as to Output. In particular, we do not guarantee the correctness or completeness of the information and data provided by the chatbot. We are not responsible for any errors or consequences related to your reliance on the information or data provided by the chatbot. You use this information and data at your own risk.


Data Transfer, Ownership of Input/Output, and Storage

For providing PerfectBot services, we use other service providers. One of them is the supplier of the tool OpenAI. This implies another entity's access to data, including personal data, as part of services.

What’s the relationship between Perfectbot and OpenAI regarding data processing?

OpenAI is a sub-processor of personal data submitted to PerfectBot. We have concluded a service agreement with OpenAI, as well as a Data Processing Agreement. The DPA sets forth OpenAI's responsibilities in connection with the subcontracting of personal data to ensure the security of personal data.

What personal data may OpenAI access?

OpenAI may access any data (questions, information, content, etc., including name, contact information, demographic information, or other information provided by the user) submitted to the Chatbot during Conversations by the customer or other users using the Chatbot. Such data will be sent to OpenAI via API integration between Perfectbot and OpenAI.

How is my customer data used in Chatbot conversations?

During conversations with the Chatbot, data/information is transferred to and processed by OpenAI. Any questions, comments, information, data, etc. provided by you or the end-user during the conversation (including personal data) will be sent to OpenAI to generate a response to the end user.

What does OpenAI do with my data?

OpenAI uses data submitted in a Conversation with the Chatbot solely as necessary to provide and maintain the services (chatbot) provided to us. The Input/Output must be used by OpenAI in accordance with applicable law, Data Processing Agreement, OpenAI Usage policies, and Sharing and Publication Policy, as available at openai.com.

Can OpenAI use my data to train its AI model?

No, such use by OpenAI is not permitted. OpenAI does not use your or your end users’ data for developing or improving OpenAI services.

How long will OpenAI store my data?

OpenAI is obliged to delete Input/Output within 30 days of submission of each relevant Input, on an ongoing basis.

Is data transferred outside the European Economic Area?

OpenAI is a company based in the USA so entrusting data processing involves the transfer of personal data to the US. In addition to the data processing agreement, we have entered into standard contractual clauses adopted by the EU Commission on June 4, 2021 with OpenAI, which is the basis for data transfer. This ensures data security in accordance with the GDPR. In the case of Customers from the United Kingdom data shall also be processed in accordance with the terms of Part 2: Mandatory Clauses of the Approved Addendum, being the template Addendum B.1.0 issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office and laid before Parliament in accordance with s119A of the Data Protection Act 2018 on 2 February 2022.

Who owns the content (input) inserted during the conversation with the Chatbot?

Input is the content provided by you, the authorized users, or end-users during conversations with the Chatbot (such as questions, data, and information). You (or the respective owner of the content) retain ownership of the input. However, by using our services you grant us the license to use input.

Who owns the content generated by the Chatbot during conversations (output)?

Output is the content generated based on the input as a result of our services. In particular, it is messages from the Chatbot received during a conversation (data, information, or other results). The ownership over the output is governed by the policies and regulations of OpenAI and the applicable law on intellectual property. We do not reserve ownership over the output, and we cannot guarantee that you’ll obtain any copyrights or proprietary rights in the output.
