3. AI, Models, and Memory
Sidekick uses artificial intelligence systems, language models, automation tools, and related infrastructure, including systems operated by us and by third-party providers. To make Sidekick work, we and these providers may process your messages, context, connected service information, memories, usage data, outputs, and related metadata.
We may use this information to provide responses and actions, maintain context, personalize your experience, evaluate quality, improve reliability, train or tune AI systems, develop new features, monitor safety, and support other business purposes described in this Policy. Provider processing may also be subject to the applicable provider's terms, privacy notices, and contractual commitments.
Sidekick may create or store memory, summaries, preferences, embeddings, logs, and other derived information so the service can be more useful over time. These materials may be associated with your account and used as described in this Policy.
4. Third-Party Integrations
Sidekick may allow you to connect, access, or use third-party websites, apps, platforms, accounts, agents, tools, and services. When you connect or use a third-party service, you authorize us and our providers to access, receive, use, transmit, store, and otherwise process information from or about that service as needed to provide Sidekick, fulfill your requests, and support the other purposes described in this Policy.
Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for those services, and your use of them is at your own risk. Information you make available through integrations may be processed by us, our service providers, the connected service, and other parties involved in making the service available.
Depending on the integration, this may include content, credentials, permissions, settings, logs, outputs, metadata, and other information associated with the integration or your use of Sidekick.
