Introduction

The Dalhousie AI Assistant, Dalhousie AI Research Assistant, and the King's AI Assistant (“the Apps”) are all designed to help students, faculty, and staff at Dalhousie University access publicly available information using artificial intelligence. Your privacy is important to us. This policy outlines what data we do — and more importantly, do not — collect when you use these apps.

Data Collection

We do not collect, store, or share any personal information. Specifically:

• The Apps do not require you to sign in or create an account.

• We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or student ID.

• We do not use cookies or tracking technologies.

• We do not access your location, contacts, photos, microphone, or device storage.

• We do not log any questions or responses generated within the app.

AI-Generated Responses

The apps use OpenAI’s language model to generate responses based on your input. The responses are generated in real time and are not stored by the app. Your queries are transmitted securely to OpenAI’s API and processed anonymously. The apps do not retain any of this information.

No Analytics or Advertising

These appa do not include:

• Analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics, Firebase)

• Advertising frameworks or SDKs

• Third-party marketing tools

Third-Party Services

The Apps rely on OpenAI’s API to process user input and generate responses. OpenAI may process inputs temporarily for quality and safety monitoring, as per their own Privacy Policy. However, the Apps do not share any identifying information with OpenAI or any third party.

Security

Although we do not store user data, we take appropriate steps to ensure that all communications between the apps and the OpenAI API are encrypted and securely transmitted using HTTPS.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes through the App Store listing.
