Use of the AI-powered chat system "ChatGPT"
We use the "ChatGPT" chat system from OpenAI Ireland Limited, with registered office at 1st Floor, The Liffey Trust Centre, 117-126 Sheriff Street Upper, Dublin 1, D01 YC43, Ireland ("OpenAI"), on our website. ChatGPT is an automated system based on artificial intelligence. The systems used are based on Large Language Models (LLMs) that have been trained with machine learning methods. An overview of how it works:
• Text inputs are converted into numerical representations ("token vectors"),
• the model calculates the most probable next tokens based on probabilistic methods (transformer architecture, deep learning),
• the answer is generated step by step from these probabilities.
This is therefore stochastic text generation, not "human thinking". Content may be incorrect or incomplete. We do not perform human control in real time.
In accordance with Art. 52 AI-VO, we point out that you are interacting with an AI system. The answers generated by ChatGPT may contain errors or be incomplete. Please check the content critically and do not rely exclusively on the chatbot's output for legally binding matters.
The system serves the purpose of automated communication and to simplify and speed up the answering of customer inquiries, in particular regarding order status, product features and shipment tracking. We ask you not to enter any personal, business or confidential data into the chatbot. However, your inputs into OpenAI are not used to train the OpenAI models.
Your IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser and device you are using, visited pages, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, as well as your chat input and the answers generated by the chatbot are collected and processed. These are stored in order to be able to provide information on this at a later date in the event of inquiries or information requested by you. Your authentication takes place explicitly only with an existing order number and a matching postcode.
For this purpose, cookies are used. The cookies enable the recognition of the internet browser. Your data may be transmitted to the USA. For the USA, an adequacy decision by the EU Commission is in place, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). OpenAI is not certified under the TADPF. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_de
