1. Introduction

Welcome to VCell models explorer (the “Chatbot”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect any information you provide while interacting with the chatbot. By using VCell models explorer, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Since VCell models explorer does not require user authentication, we do not collect personally identifiable information. However, the chatbot may process:

  • User inputs: Messages, queries, and text provided by users.
  • Metadata: Timestamps, session duration, and interaction logs.
  • Technical information: Device type, browser type, and IP address (if applicable).

3. How We Use Information

The collected data is used solely for:

  • Generating responses and improving chatbot functionality.
  • Enhancing user experience through analytics (e.g., detecting frequently asked questions).
  • Ensuring chatbot security and preventing misuse.

4. Data Storage & Security

  • No permanent data storage: We do not store conversations permanently. Messages are processed in real time and deleted after a short retention period.
  • Security measures: We use industry-standard encryption and access controls to protect any temporarily stored data.

5. Data Sharing & Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, or share user data with third parties. However, we may use:

  • AI service providers: The chatbot operates using [GPT model provider, e.g., OpenAI API].
  • Analytics tools: Non-personalized analytics may be collected for improvement.
  • Legal compliance: If required by law, we may disclose relevant data.

6. User Rights

As no personal data is stored, users typically do not need to request access, modification, or deletion. However, if you have concerns about data processing, you can contact us at blinov@uchc.edu.

7. Children’s Privacy

VCell models explorer is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a child has interacted with the chatbot, please contact us to delete any temporary data.
