5. AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude)
What is this about?
A manager or coach of your club can connect their AI assistant, ChatGPT (published by OpenAI) or Claude (published by Anthropic), to OSS Academy. They can then ask their assistant questions about the club, for example “who is registered for my class tonight?” or “which students are close to their next belt?”. The assistant queries OSS Academy, which answers it. The assistant can only read: it cannot create, modify or delete anything in OSS Academy.
Who is the controller?
Your club is the controller of your data. OSS Academy acts on its behalf, as processor. To exercise your rights, please contact your club first.
Who can connect an assistant?
Only the managers and coaches of the club, each from their own account, for the clubs they choose. A connection lasts 90 days at most. It is cut off as soon as the person loses their role in the club, and it can be cut off at any time from the app.
What data can be transmitted?
Only what is useful for running the club, and only when the manager or coach asks a question that requires it:
- the schedule: classes, times, locations, the coach's first name, numbers of registered students and trials;
- for a class or a student: the students' first name and the initial of their last name, their date of arrival at the club, their grade and progression, their attendance and upcoming classes, their competitions (age, weight and belt categories, time, results), their fighter profile and the free text they wrote in it, the ratings and comments they gave to the techniques practised;
- in the club news: medals, grade promotions and birthdays (the day of the birthday, never the date of birth);
- whether a student is injured, without the nature of the injury;
- for people who book a trial: their first name and the initial of their last name, and the status of their trial (for example “no-show”);
- for managers only: new registrations and pending membership requests, the status of the documents in the registration file (provided, missing, to be validated, never their content), students whose attendance is declining, absent students and those whose bookings are suspended;
- for coaches: their teaching hours and the classes for which they did not take attendance, which their colleagues can also view.
Minor students are treated like adults. The following are never transmitted: the full last name, the email address, the phone number, the postal address, the photo, the date of birth, payments and subscriptions.
The texts that you write yourself in the app (fighter profile, comment on a technique) can be read by your coaches and by their assistant: do not write any medical information in them.
Where does this data go?
To the publisher of the assistant chosen by the manager or coach: OpenAI for ChatGPT, Anthropic for Claude. These publishers process the data in the United States, under their own terms and depending on the type of account used. OSS Academy recommends that clubs use a business plan, with a data processing agreement and without training of the models on conversations. OSS Academy does not use this data to train a model and does not sell it.
Why?
To help the club organise its classes: knowing who is coming, who is injured, who is preparing for a competition, who to welcome for a trial. The legal basis is the club's legitimate interest in organising its activities.
For how long?
- OSS Academy does not keep the answers sent to the assistant.
- OSS Academy keeps a log of the queries made by assistants (which user, which assistant, which club, which type of information, when), without their content or the names of the people concerned, for one year.
- At the assistant's publisher, conversations are kept according to its terms and the account used. OSS Academy cannot delete them: only the assistant's user can delete their conversations.
Your rights
You can ask your club for access to your data, its rectification, its erasure, or object to its transmission to an AI assistant. With the help of OSS Academy, your club can tell you which users have consulted, through their assistant, club information of a type that may concern you, and when; the log does not keep the names of the people appearing in the answers. A rectification or erasure in OSS Academy applies to all subsequent questions, but not to a conversation already stored at the assistant's publisher. You can also contact OSS Academy at contact@oss-academy.com, and lodge a complaint with the CNIL (cnil.fr).
