Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Website feature.

Chatbot
Our website may provide an automated chatbot (“Chatbot”) for the purpose of answering questions you may have. You may provide input to the Chatbot (“Input”), and receive output generated and returned by the Chatbot based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are collectively “Content.” As between the parties and to the extent permitted by applicable law, we own all Output. Due to the nature of machine learning, Output may not be unique across users and the Chatbot may generate the same or similar output for multiple users. Other users may also ask similar questions and receive the same response. Responses that are requested by and generated for other users are not considered your Content. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of the Chatbot may in some situations result in incorrect Output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts. You should evaluate the accuracy of any Output as appropriate for your use case, including by using human review of the Output. The Chatbot is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS MAKE NO WARRANTIES (EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO THE CHATBOT, AND DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE.
