Definitions

In navigating the sphere of digital privacy, it is essential to clarify the terminology used to discuss and enforce the principles of data protection. The following definitions are provided to establish a shared understanding between AI Chatbot Support (“we,” “us,” “our”) and our users regarding the terminologies that are critical to the interpretation and application of our Privacy Policy. As you review this section, you will gain insight into the key concepts that underpin our commitment to safeguarding your privacy.

Personal Information Personal information, also known as “personal data” in certain jurisdictions, refers to any information that relates to an identifiable, living individual. This may include, but is not limited to, names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, identification numbers, location data, online identifiers, or factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. Personal information can mean anything that allows someone to identify you either directly or in conjunction with other data they may have access to. We treat all personal information with the utmost confidentiality and apply stringent measures to ensure its protection.

Data Processor A data processor is an entity or individual that processes personal information on behalf of a data controller. Processing entails any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, dissemination, alignment, combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction. A data processor acts under the instruction of the data controller and does not own the control over that data’s purpose and means. AI Chatbot Support, when acting in such a capacity, applies robust security measures and abides by the highest standards dictated by privacy legislation to manage this data responsibly and securely.

Data Controller The data controller determines the purposes for which and the means by which personal data is processed. As a data controller, an entity holds the primary responsibility for handling personal information, including how and why it is processed. A data controller also decides which data to collect and the operational details of the processing activities. In the context of our Privacy Policy, AI Chatbot Support may act as a data controller with respect to certain aspects of your information, such as your account details and subscription information. We assume this role with a profound sense of duty, ensuring lawful processing and the honoring of the data subjects rights.

Service Provider Service providers are third-party entities that perform services on behalf of the company, which may involve the handling of personal information. They may provide various services, such as offering customer support, processing transactions, or performing analytics. Service providers are bound by contractual obligations to safeguard the privacy and security of any information they handle and to use it strictly for the provision of the specified services. They act within the constraints decided by us as data controllers and do not have the liberty to use your data for any purpose other than what we have authorized.

Subsidiaries and Affiliates Subsidiaries are companies controlled by AI Chatbot Support through majority shareholding or control of the board of directors. Affiliates are entities that are closely associated with us, perhaps through shared management, ownership, or joint ventures. When it comes to processing personal information, both subsidiaries and affiliates are expected to maintain the privacy standards and controls that AI Chatbot Support upholds, ensuring data protection across all operational levels.

End-User An end-user is the individual who uses the services offered by AI Chatbot Support, whether they are the subscriber of the service, a client inquiring through an AI-powered chatbot, or a customer interacting through the various channels supported by our platform. End-users privacy is paramount, and our services are designed with strong security features to protect their personal information.

Agents Agents refer to individuals or entities who are authorized by you or by us to act on behalf of our Users to utilize our Services. They might include, but are not limited to, your employees, consultants, contractors, or representatives. Agents are integral to managing and operating the functionalities provided by AI Chatbot Support, and they are subject to the rules and policies that govern the use of personal information within our Services.

Sensitive Information Sensitive information is a subset of personal information that carries more significant privacy implications and requires higher levels of protection. This may include data about a person’s race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, genetic and biometric data, health information, or information concerning a person’s sex life or sexual orientation.

Anonymization Anonymization is a process by which personal information is altered in such a way that the individual is not or no longer identifiable. This process strives to ensure that anonymized data cannot be linked back to the individual without additional information that is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure non-attribution.

Pseudonymization Pseudonymization is a data management and de-identification procedure by which personal information fields within a data record are replaced by one or more artificial identifiers, or pseudonyms. This allows for lessened linkage with the data subjects identity, adding an extra layer of security, as the processing of pseudonymized data can only be attributed to a specific individual when combined with additional information.

Consent Consent is a freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of an individuals wishes by which they, through a statement or a clear affirmative action, signify their agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

Cookies Cookies are small text files placed on your device when visiting a website, which are widely used to make websites work or to provide business and marketing information to the owners of the site. Cookies may collect and store personal information and have become an integral part of the browsing experience.

Data Breach A data breach is a security incident where information is accessed without authorization. It can involve the loss or theft of your personal information, including financial details, confidential business information, sensitive personally identifiable information, and more.

These definitions form the bedrock of our Privacy Policy, ensuring that when you read our document, all parties have a precise understanding of the terms used. It represents our commitment to clarity, transparency, and respect for your personal data. By fully comprehending these definitions, you can appreciate the depth of our commitment to protecting your privacy and the measures we take to secure your data.

The Right to Access:

Much like the ability to peruse the contents of a personal safe, you have the right to access your personal information held by us. This means you can request a copy of the personal data we process about you at any time. We are committed to providing this in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, where applicable.

The Right to Rectification:

In the pursuit of accuracy, if you discover that the personal information we maintain about you is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be amended. Prompt correction ensures the data we process remains both relevant and reliable.

1. Encryption: Utilizing sophisticated encryption technologies, we ensure that your sensitive information is securely transmitted and stored. Data in transit is protected via Transport Layer Security (TLS), whereas data at rest leverages encryption protocols to prevent unauthorized access.

2. Access Controls: Our internal policies restrict access to personal information to only those employees, agents, or contractors who require it to perform their job duties. Each individual granted access is bound by strict confidentiality obligations.

3. Regular Audits: We conduct periodic reviews and audits of our infrastructure and practices to verify compliance with our security policies and industry standards. These evaluations are fundamental to identifying potential vulnerabilities and implementing timely enhancements.

4. Training and Awareness: Recognizing the importance of a knowledgeable team, we invest in ongoing training to ensure our staff is aware of best practices for information security and understands the significance of protecting user data.

7. Secure Development: Security is ingrained in our product development lifecycle. We adhere to secure coding practices and frameworks to preempt potential lapses during the creation of new features and services.

8. Third-Party Vetting: We rigorously assess the security practices of service providers and partners with whom your information might be shared. Such entities are under contractual obligations to provide a level of security consistent with our own.

9. Compliance with Standards: We align our practices with established security standards and regulations relevant to our industry to ensure we meet and exceed the required benchmarks for data protection.

Continuous Improvement

The technological landscape is continuously evolving, and so are the threats that loom over digital information. We remain agile in our approach, adapting our security measures in sync with emerging risks and advancing our defense mechanisms to quash vulnerabilities as they arise.

In every service and interaction, we make it our mission to prioritize the security of your data, woven into the very fabric of our company’s operations and culture.

Data Retention Policy

At AI Chatbot Support, we approach data retention with a philosophy of minimal retention, ensuring that we only store your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in our Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Our data retention policy aims to reflect our commitment to protect your privacy and enhance your control over your personal information.

Principles of Data Retention

We adhere to the following principles to govern our data retention practices:

• Purpose: We retain personal information for specific, legitimate purposes such as providing our services, maintaining business records, responding to legal processes, or complying with regulatory obligations.
• Limitation: We keep personal information only for the duration necessary to serve its intended or legally required purpose.
• Security: Personal information is secured with the appropriate technical and organizational measures during the retention period.
• Disposal: Once the data is no longer needed for its specified purposes, it is disposed of securely and in a manner designed to ensure it cannot be reconstructed or read.

Retention Periods

Our retention periods for personal information are based on the following criteria:

• User Data: Information related to your account and the use of our services is typically retained for the duration of the active user relationship. After the termination or deactivation of an account, we will retain this information for a reasonable period to allow for account recovery, to prevent fraud, to resolve disputes, or to enforce our terms and policies.
• Transactional Data: Financial records and transactional information are kept in accordance with applicable tax laws and financial regulations, usually for a period of seven years or as long as required by law.
• Communication Data: Data related to customer service interactions or correspondence with AI Chatbot Support may be retained to provide ongoing support, for historical reference, and to improve our services.

Data Minimization and Anonymization

Consistent with privacy by design principles, we strive towards data minimization and anonymization:

• Minimization: We collect and retain the least amount of personal information necessary for our legitimate business purposes.
• Anonymization: When possible, we will anonymize the data stored, so it no longer constitutes personal information and thus is not subject to retention limits.

Your Rights and Data Retention

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information from AI Chatbot Support’s systems, subject to our need to retain certain information for legal or operational purposes:

• Right of Erasure: You can request that your personal information be erased in specific circumstances, such as when the information is no longer needed or if you withdraw consent.
• Retention Limits: In the event of a request for erasure, we will conduct a review to determine if any legal or operational reasons necessitate holding onto the data.
• Confirmation and Communication: Once your personal information is scheduled for deletion, we will confirm the action and detail the extent of the purge.

AI Chatbot Support’s approach to data retention is rigorously structured to comply with applicable laws and reflect our respect for your privacy. Maintaining this balance enables us to serve you effectively while ensuring that your personal information is not held indefinitely without good reason. Our goal is to establish trust through transparent and responsible data retention practices, providing you with a sense of security that your data is handled with care for the duration of its lifecycle within our systems.

Data Archival and Removal Policy

Our commitment to your privacy extends beyond the active use of our Services to the careful archival and eventual removal of your personal information from AI Chatbot Support’s systems. We recognize that the data lifecycle includes the need for systematic processes to archive information securely and, when appropriate, to remove it responsibly from our databases and storage solutions.

Archival of Data

AI Chatbot Support employs archival processes to meet legal requirements, preserve historical records, and ensure data recovery in the case of accidental deletion or system failures.

• Regulatory Compliance: Various laws and industry standards may require us to retain certain types of data for a specified period, even after your account is deactivated or your request for erasure.
• Historical Accuracy: We might archive data that has long-term value or significance to maintain an accurate record of interactions, transactions, and historical business activity.
• Secure Archiving: Archived data is stored securely, employing encryption and limited access controls to safeguard the information while it remains in our custody.

Data Removal Procedures

When data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or when we are no longer legally obligated to retain it, AI Chatbot Support initiates a data removal process.

• Scheduled Deletion: Our systems are designed to automatically delete data that has satisfied its retention period or when the system recognizes the account’s inactivity over an extended timeframe.
• Manual Deletion Requests: In addition to automatic processes, you have the right to request the manual deletion of your data, which our support team will handle on a case-by-case basis, ensuring compliance with legal and business requirements.

Responding to Data Removal Requests

Upon receiving your request for data erasure or manual deletion, AI Chatbot Support will:

• Assess and Verify: Review the request, determine the feasibility of deletion, and address any possible implications such as loss of access to services or content.
• Execute Deletion: Once verified and all conditions have been met, we will move forward with the deletion process, removing your information from all relevant systems and backups.
• Confirmation: After the removal, we will communicate the status of the data erasure to you, confirming that the action has been completed.

Exceptions to Removal

There are circumstances where the complete removal of data is impractical due to:

• Backup Retention: Deletion requests may not always result in instantaneous erasure from backup systems due to the nature of data storage technologies. These backups are purged on a regular schedule compatible with system integrity and data recovery practices.
• Legal Holds: We may retain specific data to comply with legal obligations, such as ongoing investigations, litigation holds, or as part of regulatory inquiries.

By diligently adhering to our Data Archival and Removal Policy, AI Chatbot Support demonstrates its dedication to a respectful data practice that treats your personal information with the utmost care, even through the twilight of its utility. Our proactive approach to data removal stands as a testament to our ethical standards and your autonomy, highlighting our belief in the right of individuals to control their digital legacy.

Data Storage

The effective storage of data is a cornerstone of our commitment to safeguarding your personal information. At AI Chatbot Support, our data storage methodologies are meticulously designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data. This section of our Privacy Policy elucidates the principles, processes, and protections that underpin our approach to data storage.

Secure Storage Solutions

We utilize industry-leading storage solutions that are rigorously evaluated for their security features. These solutions include:

• Encryption at Rest: Your data is encrypted using advanced algorithms to prevent unauthorized access when stored on our servers.
• Data Segregation: We deploy logical separation techniques to segregate user data from other information within our systems, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data leaks.
• Access Authorization: Access to data storage systems is strictly controlled and monitored, and requires multi-factor authentication for our personnel.

Infrastructure and Redundancy

To ensure high availability and prevent data loss, our infrastructure incorporates redundancy:

• Geographically Dispersed Data Centers: We store data across multiple data centers in various geographic locations, mitigating the risk of data loss due to natural disasters, power outages, or other local disruptions.
• Failover Mechanisms: Our systems are designed to automatically failover to backup data centers to maintain service continuity in the event of a primary system failure.

Data Lifecycle Management

Understanding that different types of data require different storage treatments, we employ a data lifecycle management approach:

• Retention Scheduling: Our data storage practices follow the retention periods as outlined in our Data Retention Policy, holding onto data for as long as necessary to fulfill its purpose.
• Periodic Reviews: We conduct regular reviews of our stored data to validate its necessity, purge what’s no longer needed, and optimize storage efficiency.
• Deletion Protocols: When data reaches the end of its retention period, it’s securely deleted according to our erasure standards, ensuring it cannot be reconstructed.

Compliance and Certification

Our data storage practices are aligned with legal and regulatory requirements, such as:

• Industry Certifications: We maintain compliance with relevant security certifications and frameworks, which guide our data storage security measures and practices.
• Compliance Audits: Regular third-party audits are conducted to verify our adherence to legal standards and industry best practices for data storage.

User Control and Privacy

We empower our users with control over their data, featuring:

• User-Initiated Data Management: Users have the ability to manage their personal information stored within our systems, including updating, exporting, or deleting their data.
