    Data Subject Rights

  • XIII. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Decision-Making

    Market Mana uses artificial intelligence (AI) as a core feature to generate marketing campaign suggestions. This section explains how AI is used and your control over it.

    How AI Is Used

    OpenAI Integration: Market Mana sends your store data to OpenAI's API to generate personalized marketing campaign suggestions. This includes:
  • Input Data: Product information, aggregated sales data, brand voice preferences, campaign history, custom instructions
  • AI Processing: OpenAI's models (GPT-4 and GPT-5) analyze this data to suggest relevant marketing campaigns
  • Output: Campaign titles, descriptions, recommended discount strategies, suggested marketing channels, optimal timing
  • AI Training and Data Use:
  • No Training on Your Data: OpenAI is contractually prohibited from using your submitted data to train their general-purpose AI models
  • Purpose Limitation: Your data is processed solely to generate your specific campaign suggestions
  • Temporary Processing: OpenAI does not retain your data beyond the immediate processing required for generation
  • Nature of Automated Processing

    Suggestion, Not Decision: Market Mana's AI generates *suggestions* that you review, edit, and approve. The AI does NOT:
  • Automatically execute marketing campaigns
  • Automatically create discount codes (requires your approval)
  • Make binding decisions on your behalf
  • Process any action without your explicit approval
  • Human Review Required: All AI-generated campaigns are presented to you as drafts. You have complete control to:
  • Review all suggestions before implementation
  • Edit any aspect of suggested campaigns
  • Reject suggestions entirely
  • Provide feedback to improve future suggestions
  • Create campaigns manually without AI assistance
  • No Legal or Similarly Significant Automated Decisions

    Market Mana does not engage in automated decision-making that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you, as defined in GDPR Article 22. All AI outputs are advisory in nature and require your manual approval before any action is taken.

    Your Rights Regarding AI Processing

    Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR): You can object to AI processing of your data. However, this would prevent Market Mana from providing its core service (AI-powered campaign generation). You may still use the app to create campaigns manually. Right to Explanation: You can request information about:
  • The logic involved in AI campaign generation
  • The significance and envisaged consequences of such processing
  • The data used to generate specific suggestions
  • Feedback and Improvement:
  • Your approval/rejection decisions help improve the relevance of future AI suggestions
  • This improvement is based on patterns across all users (anonymized), not individual profiling
  • You can opt out of having your usage patterns contribute to AI improvements by contacting us
  • Transparency and Fairness

    Algorithmic Transparency:
  • Our AI system analyzes product performance, seasonal trends, and marketing best practices
  • Campaign suggestions are based on objective business data, not discriminatory factors
  • The AI does not make assumptions about protected characteristics
  • Limitations and Accuracy:
  • AI-generated suggestions are not guaranteed to be accurate or effective
  • Campaign success depends on many factors beyond our AI's control
  • You should evaluate all suggestions based on your business knowledge
  • We continuously work to improve suggestion quality but cannot guarantee specific results
  • AI Model Changes

    As AI technology evolves, we may update the underlying models used for campaign generation (e.g., upgrading to newer versions of GPT). Such changes will be reflected in our:
