On our website we offer an AI-supported chat assistant that answers your questions about our products and services.

What is the AI chat assistant?

The chat assistant is an automated dialog system that answers your questions with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). It supports you with information about The Wholeness Work®, the trainings, coaching and other offerings.

When you use the chat assistant, the following data is processed:

  • Your chat messages (text you enter)
  • Date and time of use
  • An anonymous session ID that links the conversation together
  • Technical data (browser type, IP address)

Your chat messages are processed through the API of OpenAI (OpenAI OpCo, LLC, 3180 18th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA), a provider of AI language models. OpenAI uses the model “GPT-4o-mini” to respond to your inquiries.

Data storage and deletion

Your chat histories are stored on our servers for a maximum of 90 days and are then deleted automatically. In line with its privacy policy, OpenAI does not use data transmitted through the API to improve its models (zero data retention policy for API requests).
