Third-Party and Proprietary AI Tools: OpenAI and In-House AI Models
Our chatbot service employs a sophisticated dual-system approach that integrates our proprietary Artificial Intelligence algorithms with OpenAI's GPT model. This combination allows us to generate contextually relevant and accurate responses based on your interactions and queries.
Data Sharing with OpenAI and In-House Models
Your chat interactions and data from connected sources like Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Search Console, and Facebook Ads are processed through a dual-system approach. This system integrates both our proprietary in-house AI algorithms and OpenAI's GPT model. Specifically, your private data—including but not limited to chat history, user metrics, and dimensions from these third-party services—is shared with OpenAI for processing. Here's a breakdown of the specific data shared from each source:
- Chat Interactions: This refers to the text-based interactions you have with the chatbot within the Kliffit platform. The content of these conversations, including your questions and responses. This data aids in refining the AI's ability to comprehend inputs and generate contextually accurate responses.
All of the above-mentioned data sources contribute to improving the chatbot's ability to generate accurate and contextually relevant responses. This processing involves sharing certain data points from your interactions and connected platforms with both our in-house AI algorithms and OpenAI's GPT model. It's important to note that only relevant and necessary data are shared to ensure the effectiveness of the chatbot's functionality.
As of March 1, 2023, OpenAI has updated its data usage policy. Under this new policy, OpenAI will not use the data sent via their API to train or improve their models unless you explicitly opt-in for this purpose. Despite this, it's important to understand that the sharing of your private data with OpenAI is essential for the basic functionality of our chatbot service.
OpenAI retains API data for 30 days for abuse and misuse monitoring purposes. After this period, the data is deleted unless otherwise required by law. For more details, you can read OpenAI's data usage and retention policies.
Firestore Data Storage
While we do not directly store raw data from third-party sources such as Google Ads, Google Analytics, or Facebook Ads, it's crucial to understand that your chat history may contain references to or summaries of data from these services. Retaining this chat history is not just for record-keeping; it's a fundamental component for the seamless functionality of our chatbot service. This chat data is securely stored in Google Firestore, a cloud-based NoSQL database, in compliance with Firebase's data security protocols. Your chat history is retained indefinitely, but you have the option to delete it at any time through the settings in our application.
