This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, use our services, or engage with our artificial intelligence (AI) systems, including the Philippian chatbot.

We adhere to the highest ethical standards and comply with applicable modern data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa, and emerging AI regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act.

By accessing or using our services, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

To provide, operate, and maintain our services and secure user accounts.
To process transactions and manage your relationship with us.
To train, fine-tune, and improve our artificial intelligence models, including reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF).

To communicate with you regarding updates, customer support, and promotional offers.
To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, and protect our rights.

4. Artificial Intelligence & Automated Processing

We heavily integrate AI into our services. When you interact with our AI systems, we may analyze your inputs to provide context-aware responses and generate insights.

Model Training: We may use de-identified and aggregated interaction data to improve our machine learning models. We implement strict data sanitization processes to remove personally identifiable information (PII) before it is used for training purposes.

Automated Decision-Making: We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you without human oversight, unless explicitly authorized by law or your explicit consent.

5. Sharing of Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with:

Service Providers: Cloud hosting, IT infrastructure, AI API providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar partners acting as sub-processors under strict data processing agreements).
Legal & Regulatory Authorities: When required to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or regulatory request.
Business Transfers: In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition.

6. Data Retention & Security

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including legal and accounting requirements. AI interaction data may be retained in anonymized formats indefinitely for continuous system improvement.

We have implemented state-of-the-art technical and organizational security measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, designed to protect your data. However, no electronic transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Access & Portability: To request a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
