User: Can you tell me if there are any red flags in these new policies regarding AI use in the Yuh App[edit | edit source]
Can you tell me if there are any red flags in these new policies regarding AI use in the Yuh App
[edit | edit source]
Below is a clear and direct assessment of red flags specifically related to AI use, based solely on the three documents you provided:
- Yuh App Terms & Conditions terms-and-condititions-yuh-app-…
- Yuh Account Privacy Policy (Swissquote) yuh-account-privacy-policy-d-en…
- Yuh App & Website Privacy Policy (Yuh Ltd.) yuh-app-privacy-policy-en-v3
Major AI-Related Red Flags[edit | edit source]
1. Your chatbot conversations may be reviewed by humans[edit | edit source]
The Yuh App Terms explicitly state that chatbot conversations may be stored and used for analysis including manual human review to improve services. terms-and-condititions-yuh-app-…
Why this matters: This is not standard for banking apps where user conversations can contain sensitive financial intent, account-related details, etc.
2. Your data—including chatbot inputs—can be transferred outside Switzerland, including to the US[edit | edit source]
The Terms state that personal data sent to the chatbot can be transferred to jurisdictions without an equivalent level of data protection, explicitly naming the United States. terms-and-condititions-yuh-app-…
Both privacy policies confirm international transfers for many purposes, including analytics, payment processing, marketing, and more. yuh-account-privacy-policy-d-en…
yuh-app-privacy-policy-en-v3
Why this matters: US-based providers may be subject to broad federal access rules (e.g., the CLOUD Act). Your banking-related conversations could therefore lose Swiss-level confidentiality.
3. You explicitly waive Swiss banking secrecy in several cases[edit | edit source]
The Swissquote privacy policy includes a broad banking secrecy waiver, including for:
- AI-powered tools
- foreign third-party processors
- card processors (e.g., Marqeta in the US) yuh-account-privacy-policy-d-en…
Why this matters: This is unusually broad for a Swiss financial institution. Your data is no longer protected under strict Swiss secrecy rules once it leaves Switzerland.
4. AI output is disclaimed heavily (“hallucinations,” no reliability, no liability)[edit | edit source]
The Terms emphasize that the chatbot may produce:
- inaccurate
- incomplete
- misleading information, including hallucinations. terms-and-condititions-yuh-app-…
Why this matters: If you rely on chatbot responses for financial decisions, they disavow all responsibility.
5. Chatbot data is used to train or improve models (not just to answer you)[edit | edit source]
The Terms state the data may be used to:
- improve the chatbot
- develop new products
- improve the Yuh App terms-and-condititions-yuh-app-…
Why this matters: Your personal queries, habits, and metadata can feed internal AI training pipelines.
6. Profiling is explicitly permitted[edit | edit source]
Both privacy policies describe profiling, including assessing aspects of your personality, especially for marketing. yuh-account-privacy-policy-d-en…
yuh-app-privacy-policy-en-v3
Why this matters: Your interactions—possibly including AI chatbot conversations—may influence personalized marketing, risk scoring, or eligibility assessments.
Moderate Red Flags[edit | edit source]
[edit | edit source]
Yuh and Swissquote share data with:
- Google (analytics, cookies)
- Apple/Google Push services
- Marqeta (US), Mastercard, payment partners
- Other analytics tools yuh-app-privacy-policy-en-v3
Push notifications can expose sensitive data and pass through foreign servers. terms-and-condititions-yuh-app-…
8. No promise that AI data will stay encrypted end-to-end[edit | edit source]
While they say data is encrypted “to some extent,” they clearly acknowledge:
- data may travel uncontrolled across foreign networks
- even encrypted data may expose who is communicating yuh-account-privacy-policy-d-en… yuh-app-privacy-policy-en-v3
9. Exercise of your rights may result in loss of service[edit | edit source]
If you object to certain processing (including AI-related profiling or data transfer), they may:
- stop providing the service
- terminate your access yuh-account-privacy-policy-d-en… yuh-app-privacy-policy-en-v3
Why this matters: There is effectively no meaningful opt-out for AI-related tracking or profiling.
[edit | edit source]
10. The AI chatbot can influence your financial behaviour without accountability[edit | edit source]
They emphasize the chatbot’s information is:
- not advice
- not recommendations
- not reliable terms-and-condititions-yuh-app-…
But since users may treat it as advice, this offloads all responsibility.
11. Conversations can be linked to your account identity[edit | edit source]
Because the chatbot is inside the banking app, conversations are necessarily tied to:
- device identifiers
- account data
- customer profile terms-and-condititions-yuh-app-…
This is substantially different from an anonymous chatbot.
Summary — The Biggest Red Flags[edit | edit source]
Highest-risk items:
- Human review of your chatbot conversations
- Data transfers outside Switzerland (incl. US)
- Waiver of Swiss banking secrecy
- Use of your data for training/improving the AI
- Profiling for marketing and behavioral analysis
- No reliable AI output, no liability
If you're concerned about privacy, confidentiality, or regulatory compliance, these are non-trivial red flags.
If you want, I can create a short risk-rating table, suggest a safe way to continue using the app, or draft questions to ask Yuh's Data Protection Officer.
