4. AI and Automated Processing

4.1 AI Processing of Your Data

The Service uses artificial intelligence to analyze data you provide, including assessment responses and content you submit for AI chat. This processing is used to generate personalized recommendations, assessments, and AI outputs.

4.2 AI Chat Assistant

Content you submit to the AI chat assistant is processed transiently by our AI systems to generate responses. Chat history may be retained in your session but is not permanently stored beyond what is necessary to provide the Service.

4.3 AI-Generated Blog Content

Some articles on this site are generated or revised with the assistance of artificial intelligence. The AI blog engine uses internal content generation systems. No personal user data is used to train the blog generation model.

4.4 AI-Simulated Engagement

This site uses AI-simulated engagement (SwarmEngine) to generate community-style comments, reactions, and engagement counts on articles. This system processes article content only — no personal user data is used to generate simulated engagement. Simulated engagement is clearly distinguished from verified user activity.

4.5 Third-Party AI Providers

We use third-party AI providers to power certain features. Data submitted for AI processing may be transmitted to these providers subject to their privacy policies. We use commercially reasonable measures to limit the data shared with AI providers to what is necessary for the requested operation.

4.6 No Training on Your Data

We do not use your personal data or User Content to train our own AI models or those of third-party providers, except where you have provided explicit consent.

4.7 Automated Decision-Making

We use automated processing to generate life assessment results and content recommendations. These automated outputs are for informational purposes only and do not constitute decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. You may request human review of any automated output by contacting us at [email protected].
