NuppiBot is a chatbot service provided and operated by NUPPI TECH LTD. This service is based on the use of application programming interfaces (APIs) from Meta WhatsApp Business ("WhatsApp") and OpenAI OpCo, LLC ("OpenAI"). Through these APIs, NuppiBot facilitates communication between WhatsApp users and the artificial intelligence capabilities of OpenAI. In simpler terms, when a user sends a message to NuppiBot via WhatsApp, this message is transmitted to OpenAI, and then the response generated by OpenAI is sent back to the user via WhatsApp.
Please note that NUPPI TECH LTD has no control over where or how messages are processed or stored in WhatsApp and OpenAI. By using NuppiBot, you acknowledge and accept this limitation.
Before using NuppiBot, it is necessary for you to have read and previously accepted the privacy policies of WhatsApp and OpenAI. These policies govern the processing and storage of messages in WhatsApp and the use of OpenAI technology. By using NuppiBot, you confirm that you have read and accepted these policies.
Please note that the use of NuppiBot is prohibited in territories where WhatsApp and/or OpenAI are prohibited.
When you use our services, we collect information about the features and usage of our services, including:
NuppiBot will automatically collect your phone number, the identifier provided by WhatsApp to identify each message (WhatsApp Message ID), the date and time of each message, your message, and the response from OpenAI.
We also use cookies and web beacons to gather information about our visitors, including preferences and pages visited. These tools allow us to personalise content and improve the user experience on our websites. By using our sites, you agree to the use of cookies and web beacons according to our Privacy Policy.

Additionally, we use cookies and web beacons to collect technical information about your device, IP address, browser type, approximate location, and browsing activity. This helps us improve our services.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:

Additionally, in some cases, we may share aggregated and general information about our users without disclosing personal data. This information will be kept anonymous, and re-identification will not be sought.
