Privacy Policy for the Use of an AI-Based Product Advisor (Chatbot)

We use an AI-based product advisor on our product pages to automatically provide users with product-specific information and assist them in selecting suitable products.

The product advisor automatically processes texts voluntarily entered by the user to generate appropriate responses and product recommendations. No automated decision-making with legal effect and no profiling within the meaning of data protection laws takes place.

 

Processed Data

In the context of using the product advisor, the following data may be processed in particular:

  • texts entered by the user,
  • technical usage data (e.g., IP address, browser type, time of access).

Please never enter sensitive personal data (e.g., health data, payment data, or passwords) into the product advisor.

Processing is carried out for the purpose of:

  • providing product information,
  • improving the user-friendliness of our product pages,

For the operation of the AI-based product advisor, we use the Chatbase service, which acts as a data processor on our behalf. A corresponding data processing agreement has been concluded with the provider. It cannot be excluded that personal data may be transferred to third countries (e.g., the USA) as part of the processing. In such cases, the transfer is based on appropriate safeguards, in particular the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

The content entered when using the product advisor is not stored and is not used for AI training, but is processed exclusively to answer the respective inquiry and then discarded.
