Ask InsideOut: privacy and voice

Ask InsideOut is an AI website guide, not a person, dietitian or clinician. It helps you explore the website and find our contact form. It cannot confirm bookings, purchases or publication arrangements.

Questions and recent conversation context are sent securely to OpenAI to generate replies. Please do not include sensitive information, health histories or personal contact details. Use our contact form for enquiries.

Voice is optional. Microphone access is requested only when you tap to speak. Stopping a recording sends up to 30 seconds to OpenAI for transcription. You can review the words before sending your question. Closing the assistant cancels an active recording. Spoken replies play only when you tap Listen and use your browser or device speech service.

We do not save chat transcripts or audio in our application database. Conversations are held in the current page and cleared by Start again or reloading. Chat-generation requests use storage disabled; audio is sent to OpenAI for transcription. However, provider security and abuse-monitoring retention may still apply. Cloudflare Turnstile checks for automated abuse; short-lived hashed rate-limit identifiers and monthly usage counters protect the service.

The illustration is AI-created artwork, not a photograph of an InsideOut staff member. If the assistant is unavailable, our usual contact page remains available.
