Data collected through the conversational avatar
The avatar is a virtual assistant based on artificial intelligence. It is not a real person. When you interact with the avatar, the following data is collected:
- Session metadata: IP address, session start time, duration, and number of conversation turns.
- Technical session identifier (fingerprint): a pseudonymized identifier generated from technical browser parameters (language, screen resolution, timezone) used exclusively for session management and abuse prevention. This identifier does not allow direct personal identification.
- Conversation content: text transcripts of the conversation are retained for as long as necessary for quality control and, with your consent, to improve and train (fine-tuning) our own artificial intelligence models. Where possible, they are anonymized by disassociating them from your session.
- Audio data: the voice recording is processed for speech-to-text conversion and to hold the conversation. With your consent, the audio is also retained for the purpose of improving and training our own artificial intelligence models. Once processed, the audio is irreversibly anonymized, disassociated from your session, technical identifier and IP address, so that the resulting material no longer constitutes personal data.

5. DATA RECIPIENTS
Data is not transferred to third parties except:
- Strictly necessary service providers (for example, email) acting as data processors under signed data processing agreements. Voice, transcription and language-model processing is NOT delegated to any third party.

All data is processed and stored on BUDDYBEAM, S.L.'s own servers located in Spain. All artificial intelligence processing (speech recognition, transcription and language models) runs entirely on our own infrastructure, with no cloud services or third-party providers.
6. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING
The avatar generates responses using artificial intelligence language models. These responses are informational only and do not produce legal effects or similarly significant impacts on users. No automated decisions with legal or significant effects are made based on your interaction data (Art. 22 GDPR).
