Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
We use the AI technology ChatGPT-4.1 nano by OpenAI for spam detection and automatic translation support. The AI processes post contents to identify and filter spam and translates user-generated texts to assist communication.
- Data processed by AI: Text content from posts and messages as input for spam filtering and translation.
- Purpose: To improve user experience through better moderation and language assistance.
- Data protection: Technical and organizational measures are in place to ensure data security. Personal data is processed only as necessary; no unauthorized third-party data sharing occurs.
- Legal basis: This processing is based on our legitimate interest to maintain platform quality and security. By using the platform, users consent to this processing.
- Note: Data processed by the AI may be temporarily stored on OpenAI servers according to their privacy policies.
Automated Decision-Making
