3. IMPORTANT: Our Use of AI and Your Data

Transparency about our AI is critical. Here is exactly how we handle your User Content in relation to our AI models.

A. Data Used to Provide the Service

Your User Content (prompts, documents, conversations) is sent to our AI models (which may be proprietary or from a third-party partner like OpenAI) to generate a response. We have strict agreements with any third-party AI providers that prohibit them from using your User Content to train their own models or for any other purpose other than providing the service to us.

B. Data Used for AI Model Training

To improve the accuracy and helpfulness of our AI assistant for professional women, we may use a portion of User Content to fine-tune our own models.

  • We will always anonymize and de-identify this data to the greatest extent possible, removing all personal identifiers.

  • Our models are trained on this aggregated, anonymized data to better understand professional contexts, career challenges, and industry-specific language, ultimately making the assistant more valuable for everyone.

C. Your Control and Opt-Out Rights

You have control over your data.

Your Right to Opt Out: You may opt out of having your User Content used for our model training at any time. You can do this by [Explain the mechanism here - e.g., "visiting your Account Settings page and unchecking 'Allow data for model improvement'."]

If you opt out, your User Content will only be used to provide you with the Service and will not be used for any training or improvement purposes.

  • With AI Partners: As described above, your User Content is processed by our AI partners to generate responses. They are contractually barred from using this data for their own purposes.

  • For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if we believe it's required by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal request.

  • To Protect Our Rights: We may share information to protect the rights, property, and safety of Wayward Lasses, our users, or the public.

  • With Your Consent: We will ask for your explicit consent before sharing your personal information in any other situation.
