What data will we collect?

The data we will receive from you if you use the Boob Bot includes:

• Data given to us by Facebook, called your PSID. PSID is a slightly confusing acronym that stands for ‘Facebook-Page Scooped ID’. This means that we can access the first name and surname that you use on Facebook, the time-zone and language setting for the region you live in and, if you’ve specified your gender in Facebook, we’ll be able to see that too.
• Any information that you input into the Boob Bot. When you use the Bot, you will enter into a chat with us via Facebook Messenger. We’ll be able to see any information that you enter into this chat, including your answers to any questions.

How and why will we process this data?

We will use this data so that we can:

• Provide you with personalised information via the Boob Bot chat.
• Adapt and improve the Boob Bot to make the experience of using it better.

We process data provided via the Boob Bot to further our legitimate interests in promoting breast awareness by providing relevant information in this area. We will use the data you provide to give you this kind of information.

Because you may provide sensitive health data within the Bot, we also ask for your consent for us to process your data. You can withdraw this consent at any time by letting us know via the Bot or contacting us at [email protected] or CoppaFeel!, 1-4 Pope Street, London SE1 3PR.

Third parties

In order to provide access to the Boob Bot, we work with a third-party technology company called Spectrm Publishing UG, based in Germany. Spectrm is responsible for hosting the Bot and will process the data you input into the Bot on our behalf. They also make sure the Bot works and ensure that the information you share is kept safe. That means that Spectrm can see the information you share with us in the chat. Spectrm may also share the information with other third parties.

The Boob Bot is hosted on the Facebook Messenger platform. As a Facebook Messenger user, you will have agreed to Facebook’s terms and conditions for use of Messenger. You should however make sure you are happy with these before using the Bot.
