7. AI Therapy Conversations
7.1 Special Category Data
Your conversations with our AI Therapist may contain information about your health, smoking habits, psychological state, and other personal details. This information may be considered "special category data" under applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR. By using our Service, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily sharing this information for the purpose of receiving personalized smoking cessation therapy.
7.2 AI Training and Improvement
We use anonymized conversation data to train, improve, and enhance our AI systems. This means that portions of your conversations with the AI Therapist may be processed and analyzed to improve the quality, accuracy, and effectiveness of our Service. Before being used for training, all conversation data is processed to remove personally identifiable information.
7.3 Human Review
To ensure quality and improve our Service, a limited number of authorized personnel may review conversations between users and our AI Therapist. These reviewers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and follow secure data handling protocols. Human review is conducted for the purposes of:
- Evaluating and improving AI performance
- Identifying and correcting potential issues or inaccuracies
- Developing new features and capabilities
- Ensuring the AI provides safe and appropriate responses
7.4 Explicit Consent
Before beginning therapy sessions, we will ask for your explicit consent to:
- Process your health-related data for providing therapy services
- Use anonymized conversation data for AI model improvement
- Allow limited human review of conversations for quality assurance
You can withdraw this consent at any time through your account settings. However, withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
7.5 Data Security
We implement advanced encryption and security measures to protect your sensitive conversation data. All conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, and access to raw conversation data is strictly limited to essential personnel who require it to perform their job functions.
