Personal data collected Data retention period

Data relating to the User’s requests and to the responses generated by the chatbot, together with the relevant metadata, shall be retained for the period strictly necessary to handle the request and, unless deleted by the User, for the duration of the Master or Program, for educational purposes and in order to allow the User to access and review the responses provided. Where the duration of the Master or Program exceeds one year, the above-mentioned data shall in any event be deleted one year after the relevant request/response. The User’s right to request the deletion of such data at any time remains unaffected.
