3. Processing of Queries and Prompts

  • Reporting misconduct to supervisory authorities.
  • Disclosing information to law enforcement agencies or courts as required by law.

Personal data collected to enable the use of the platform and for billing purposes are processed in accordance with the relevant legal obligations, including tax and accounting regulations. Such data are retained for the periods prescribed by applicable laws.

Access to the platform is authenticated either through Google or, at the user’s choice, internally by the data controller.

When using Google authentication, users acknowledge that Google acts as an autonomous data controller and may collect additional information during the authentication process. The collection and processing of such data are subject to Google’s privacy policy and terms of service, and the data controller is not involved in or responsible for these processing activities.

The email confirming the registration through the local platform is sent by a smart SMTP service, which does not retain any personal information.

  • The user’s consent, where required by law.
