Many of us do not read the conditions of use of applications and websites, and although on many occasions there are no major problems by not doing so, in others special attention must be paid.

The fact is that since ChatGPT is among us, there are several services that allow us to use it outside of the official application, and one of them is Ariana, a chatbot that allows us to use ChatGPT from WhatsApp. The idea is good, but when there are chats involved, it is important to read the entire privacy policy carefully.

So there I was, in front of a web page with a huge amount of text that I had to read to know if it was safe or not to use the application, hosted on timworks.com.

Before reading it, I put the whole policy into ChatGPT, in three pieces, since it was very long and over the limit. When finished, I asked him:

what data can timworks.com get from me?

And his answer was short and concise:

Timworks.com may collect certain personal data from you, such as your name, email address, mobile phone number, account information, IP address, location data, usage and registration data, chat and order information, among others. . This information may be collected and used for a variety of business and contractual purposes, such as improving services, responding to inquiries and correspondence, personalizing the user experience, and providing promotions and special offers. Timworks.com may also share your personal data with third parties in certain situations, such as to perform the services, meet legal or regulatory compliance obligations, or conduct corporate business. If you have any specific concerns or questions about the data Timworks.com may collect from you, I recommend that you consult their full Privacy Policy.

Meaning, by chatting with Ariana, you can get everything from me, including email, usage data…everything.

It is a clear example of how ChatGPT can help in our day to day, summarizing things as tedious as a privacy policy.
