Data Privacy and Security
The OpenAI platform may collect some of your data from interactions to improve its functionality and the user experience. The type of data that's collected depends on the service or platform you're using and will abide by Open AI's Terms of Use. As AI technologies are majorly dependent on data quality, privacy protection is an integral part of our organization's mission. We at Zoho strive to strike a balance between user privacy, autonomy, and the generative AI's capabilities by gathering data from sources only after clear and informed user consent.
OpenAI's ChatGPT is an external service based out of the USA.
You are required to ensure compliance with data processing transparency and notice to your users and clients as required by applicable data protection law.
Zoho CRM
At Zoho, data security is of paramount importance. We understand our responsibility when it comes to customer data management. The following points will explain how we ensured data security in this collaboration.
Compliance to GDPR and HIPAA
Zoho CRM is compliant to GDPR and HIPAA guidelines. That said, as a data processor, we do not record or process your information without consent. However, as an administrator, you can moderate your preferences and choose to stop processing data, raise data delete requests, and restrict data access through API from our GDPR settings. Click here to learn more about GDPR in Zoho CRM.
As for HIPAA, Smart Prompt is not available for fields with health information and neither Zia nor ChatGPT can identify those field that are PHI encrypted. Click here to learn more about HIPAA compliance in Zoho CRM.
Handling of business emails
For emails, Smart Prompt can suggest new email content, rephrase, refine, or translate existing content, enhance vocabulary, make data points, amongst other possibilities. However, Smart Prompt will not consider the entire email thread to perform these activities. This means
- Smart Prompt cannot read your data unless prompted.
- Zia/ Zoho CRM will process only the content in composer, thereby masking the context of the correspondence. If the current information is sensitive, we suggest users use their discretion to try smart prompt on such occasions.
- No recipient information (to/cc/bcc) is subjected to OpenAI for processing.
- Your attachments are not crawled by either of the bots to process/ generate response.
- Your email content suggestions in the Smart Prompt window, once copied/ replaced to the compose window, will not be stored.
- For security purposes, we have not enabled Zia to fetch auto-fillable information from the record into the email window in this beta release (May, 2023).
Handling record information
- To curtail context derivation, Smart Prompt will not analyze/ process/ summarize your entire record information/ notes. You can only understand your record field-by-field (i.e.) you can only try Smart Prompt on fields one at a time, individually.
- Smart Prompt is not available for fields with personal and sensitive information. It is also not available for PHI encrypted fields.
- Only the generic field types like company, industry, and so on, are subjected for processing.
