Chatbot

In order to ensure safe and legally compliant handling of the chatbot’s AI functions, it is important to us to inform you transparently and understandably about the conditions of use.

The chatbot is operated by plaxon GmbH, based at Kurfürstendamm 30, 10719 Berlin, Germany.

You can view the privacy policy of plaxon GmbH here .

Please note that the information provided by the chatbot is based on general data and may not always be complete, up-to-date, or accurate. It is therefore not reliable and binding information, but is intended to serve as an aid.

For the AI functions of the chatbot, we use the interface (API) of the French-based company “Mistral AI”, 15 rue des Halles, 75001 Paris, France.

Mistral AI is a company that allows us, through an interface, to use services to process data using “Artificial Intelligence / AI”. The chatbot technically serves as a proxy to Mistral AI, so that your IP address and other information (browser used, etc.) are not transmitted to Mistral AI. Only the content of the entered chat texts (conversations) is transmitted to Mistral AI and processed there. If you do not enter any personal data there, none will be transmitted to Mistral AI.
You can view OpenAI’s privacy policy at the following link: https://mistral.ai/terms#privacy-policy

For quality control purposes, the content of the conversations (your input and the chatbot’s response) can be stored and evaluated by the operator of the chatbot (plaxon GmbH). The legal basis for this is a legitimate interest of the operator to optimize the service and thus improve the offer technically and economically as well as to be able to offer support.

Data processing by Mistral AI: The data (text inputs) that you enter to use the chatbot will be transmitted to OpenAI and processed by OpenAI.

Voluntary use: The use of the chatbot is completely optional and not necessary for the use of the website

Privacy and security: plaxon GmbH and Mistral AI take measures to ensure the security and privacy of your data. For example, your input is not transmitted directly to Mistral AI, but via a proxy, the chatbots’ server. This means that your IP address, for example, will not be visible to Mistral AI. However, you acknowledge that the transmission of data such as your entered texts to Mistral AI involves certain risks.

By using the chatbot, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Addendum.

Collection of access data and log files

We, or our hosting provider, collect data on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

For security reasons (e.g. to investigate acts of abuse or fraud), log file information is stored for a maximum period of 7 days and then deleted. Data whose further retention is necessary for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.
