At Knoxville Art Studio (“KAS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), we use artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools responsibly to enhance our website experience, improve communication, and provide better customer service.

This AI Privacy Policy explains how we use AI systems, what data they may process, and how we protect your privacy and information when interacting with these tools.

1. Purpose of AI Use

We may use AI technologies to assist with:

• Responding to website inquiries or messages through chat or contact forms.

• Enhancing scheduling, class recommendations, or service personalization.

• Automating email replies, content suggestions, or marketing analytics.

• Improving our website’s accessibility, translation, and performance.

All AI tools are implemented to improve your experience — never to replace human communication or decision-making.

2. Information Processed by AI Systems

When you interact with our AI-enabled features, the system may process limited personal data, such as:

• Your name, email address, or phone number (if you choose to provide them).

• Text inputs or messages you submit through chat or web forms.

• Website usage data (such as pages visited, time on site, or preferences) to help personalize content.

We do not intentionally use AI to process sensitive information (such as health, financial, or government ID data).

3. How AI Data Is Used

Data processed by AI tools is used solely to improve communication, scheduling, and overall website experience.

Examples include:

• Helping you find the right art class or service.

• Assisting with frequently asked questions.

• Analyzing general site behavior to improve navigation or content.

We never sell, rent, or share AI-processed data with third parties for profit.

4. AI Vendors and Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party AI service providers — such as chat platforms, marketing tools, or analytics systems — that comply with industry privacy and security standards.

Each vendor is contractually obligated to handle all data responsibly and in compliance with applicable privacy laws (including GDPR, CCPA, and other U.S. standards).

5. Data Retention and Storage

AI-related data may be temporarily stored for the purpose of improving responses or analytics.

We retain only minimal, necessary information and automatically delete or anonymize data once it is no longer required.

6. Accuracy and Limitations of AI

AI responses are generated automatically and may not always be 100% accurate. Knoxville Art Studio reviews and monitors AI output to maintain quality and ensure compliance with our values of respect, creativity, and privacy.

7. Security Measures

We take appropriate security steps — including encryption, access controls, and monitoring — to protect all user data handled by our AI tools. While no technology is entirely risk-free, we are committed to minimizing potential exposure through continuous review and safeguards.

8. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Request details on how AI tools process your data.

• Opt out of AI-based communications (for example, you can request direct human contact instead).

• Request deletion of AI-collected data related to you.

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@knoxvilleartstudio.com.

9. Policy Updates

As AI technology evolves, we may update this policy to reflect new tools or regulations. The most recent version will always be available on our website, with the updated date listed above.
