We use the AI system Grok from xAI LLC, USA, via the business API/Enterprise use.
Grok is used in particular for:
AI phone assistant: Calls to the hotline may be answered, transcribed and processed by an AI (Grok/xAI) for identification (member number, date of birth, phone number), for opening vehicles, for extending bookings and for sending notifications. Call transcripts are stored with the AI or in the system for a maximum of 90 days. You may request transfer to a staff member at any time.
Telephone system: For the hotline, we use the 3CX telephone system. The software provider is 3CX Ltd, headquartered in Nicosia (Cyprus, EU). The telephone system is used to accept, forward and log calls (e.g. telephone number, time and duration of the call). A data processing agreement (Data Processing Addendum) exists for this processing. The data may be processed in the European Economic Area (EEA). For push notifications to the phone apps, services from providers in the USA (e.g. Apple or Google) may be used.
Only the information necessary for the respective process is transmitted to Grok (e.g. name, email, SwissPass number, verification result, CRIF score/relevant creditworthiness characteristics, process data). Not transmitted to Grok are biometric images from Stripe Identity and complete credit card data.
xAI acts as processor. The Data Processing Addendum of xAI applies. According to xAI's Enterprise/API terms, business inputs and outputs are not used for model training . Data may be processed in the USA (data processing agreement and standard contractual clauses; Data Privacy Framework to the extent applicable to xAI).
Documents: xAI DPA, xAI Privacy Policy.
The decision as to whether you may become a customer or continue to use the offer can be made exclusively on an automated basis by Grok. The basis for this is our defined admission criteria as well as the credit report from CRIF, supplemented by the SwissPass and identity check.
A rejecting or restricting decision will be communicated to you. You have the right:
Contact: info@sponti-car.ch or 055 264 10 00.
Legal bases: Art. 21 DSG and Art. 22 GDPR. Insofar as consent is legally required, we obtain it during registration. Refusal may result in no contract being concluded.
Data is only disclosed to the extent necessary for the contract, legal requirements, or legitimate interests. The list is not exhaustive. The privacy policies of the named companies apply in each case.
