Overview

This page explains how data is processed on this portfolio website and by the chatbot "L Bot". The site is focused on showcasing work and experience, as well as providing a chatbot that can answer questions based on the site's content.

What the Chatbot Processes

When you interact with the chatbot, the system may process:

  • Messages you send (questions/requests) in order to respond to your query.
  • Related queries generated automatically from chat history to find relevant context.
  • Context taken from public site content that has been embedded into a vector database. Note: the vector database does not store your chat, only numerical representations (embeddings) of public content.
  • Temporary cached responses to improve performance (e.g., storing answers for repeated questions).

Please avoid sharing sensitive or confidential information through the chat.

How It Works & Third Parties

To provide relevant and fast answers, the system uses the following third-party services:

  • Language Model: A generative AI service (Gemini) used to generate answers based on retrieved context.
  • Vector Database: Stores embeddings to perform semantic search over the indexed public content.
  • Cache: Temporary storage to speed up responses for repeated or similar queries.

Messages you send may be sent to these services in order to process your request. Only public content is indexed in the vector database; your conversations are not added to that index.

Data Sources Indexed

The content embedded into the vector database comes only from public parts of this website. Personal or dynamic information is not included unless explicitly published on the site.

Purpose of Data Usage

  • To answer your questions through the chatbot.
  • To improve relevance and response speed (e.g., through caching).
  • To maintain service operations and reliability.

What We Do Not Do

  • We do not sell your personal data.
  • We do not include your private conversations in the site’s vector database.
  • We do not train custom models using your private conversations.

Security

Reasonable measures are applied to protect data. However, no system is completely secure. Please avoid sending sensitive information through the chat.
