Use of the AI-Supported Chat System “ChatGPT”

We use the chat system “ChatGPT” of OpenAI Ireland Limited, with registered office at 1st Floor, The Liffey Trust Centre, 117-126 Sheriff Street Upper, Dublin 1, D01 YC43, Ireland, "OpenAI", on our website. ChatGPT is an automated system based on artificial intelligence. The systems used are based on large language models, LLMs, which have been trained using machine learning methods. The functioning in overview:

  • Text inputs are converted into numerical representations, “token vectors”,
  • the model calculates the most probable next tokens on the basis of probabilistic methods, transformer architecture, deep learning,
  • the answer is generated step by step from these probabilities.

It is therefore stochastic text generation, not “human thinking”. Content may be incorrect or incomplete. We do not carry out human control in real time.

Pursuant to Art. 52 AI Act, we point out that you are interacting with an AI system. The answers generated by ChatGPT may contain errors or be incomplete. Please review the content critically and do not rely exclusively on chatbot outputs for legally binding matters.

The system serves the purpose of automated communication and of simplifying and accelerating responses to customer enquiries, in particular regarding order status, product characteristics and shipment tracking. We ask you not to enter any personal, business or confidential data into the chatbot. However, your inputs into OpenAI are not used to train OpenAI models.

In this context, your IP address, date and time of page access, click path, information about the browser you use and the device you use, pages visited, referrer URL, website through which you accessed our website, location data as well as your chat input and the answers generated by the chatbot are collected and processed. These are stored in order to be able to provide relevant information subsequently in the event of concerns or information requested by you. Your authentication takes place explicitly only with an existing order number and matching postal code.

Cookies are used for this purpose. The cookies enable the internet browser to be recognized. Your data may be transmitted to the USA. For the USA, an adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, TADPF. OpenAI is not certified under the TADPF.

We use plug-ins from social networks on our website. The integration of social plug-ins and the data processing taking place in this context serves the purpose of optimizing advertising for our products.

In this process, both your IP address and the information as to which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. Transmission also takes place for users who are not registered or not logged in. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information may also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. When using the plug-in functions, for example by pressing the button, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.

Use of Social Plug-ins by Means of “Shariff”

We use plug-ins from social networks on our website. To ensure that you retain control over your data, we use the privacy-safe “Shariff” buttons.

Without your express consent, no connections to the servers of the social networks are established and consequently no data is transmitted.

“Shariff” is a development by the specialists of the computer magazine c’t. It enables more privacy on the internet and replaces the usual “Share” buttons of social networks.

When you click the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in to the respective provider with your data. Only after this active login by you is a direct connection to the social networks established.

By logging in, you give your consent to the transmission of your data to the respective social media provider. In this process, both your IP address and the information as to which of our pages you have visited are transmitted, among other things. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles.
