• With other users, as part of public trip listings and group communications.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, no online platform is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Artificial intelligence

Oni, our AI assistant, uses Google's Gemini as the underlying large languagae model, as such all messages sent to Oni are also processed by Google's servers. Moreover, all messages sent to Oni, while you are authenticated are saved in our database. We use this data to allow you to continue conversations with Oni, even if you log out and log back in.

Also, large language models may hallucinate, so asking Oni general questions or for safety advice is not recommended. It is your responsibility to fact-check any information given by Oni and to always use your best judgement.

It is your responsibility, to ensure that you do not send any sensitive information to Oni. Onyva and it's affliates do not take any responsibility for any sensitive information sent to Oni.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
