Ask Salem is an AI-powered website assistant that helps visitors interact with websites, discover information, communicate with businesses, use profiles and community features, and access connected services including Pidgin Market.

Information Ask Salem may process

• Questions, messages, prompts, tasks and conversations sent to Ask Salem.
• Information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email, profile details, reviews, referrals or contact information.
• Basic technical and session information used to operate the assistant, such as session identifiers, page URL, page title, referrer and usage events.

How Ask Salem uses information

Information may be used to answer questions, maintain conversation continuity, provide visitor and company features, operate profiles and community tools, support referrals and communications, improve website intelligence, prevent abuse, and maintain security and reliability.

Connection with Pidgin Market

Ask Salem can connect with Pidgin Market so visitors can discover businesses, products, services and jobs, and businesses can use Market-related features. Depending on the feature you use, relevant information may be sent between Ask Salem and Pidgin Market to complete the requested action, display a listing, support a profile, process a referral, publish a job or provide Market discovery.

Data sharing with Pidgin Market

Ask Salem may share relevant information with Pidgin Market when a feature requires that connection or when you choose to use a Pidgin Market feature. This can include business or profile information, listing information, referral information, job information, requests, identifiers needed for synchronization, and other information necessary for the selected feature. Ask Salem does not intend to share information that is unrelated to the requested Market function.

Other service providers

Some features may also use AI, translation, messaging, analytics, hosting or other service providers. Information is shared only as reasonably necessary to operate the applicable feature, comply with law, protect the service, or fulfill your request.

Cookies and browser storage

Ask Salem may use cookies or browser storage for sessions, interface preferences, chat continuity and related functionality.

Retention and deletion

Information may be retained for as long as necessary to operate the feature, maintain records, support connected services, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations and protect the service. Retention may differ between Ask Salem, the website owner and connected services such as Pidgin Market.

Your choices

You control much of the information you choose to submit. Where applicable, you may request access, correction or deletion of information held by the website operator. If information has been shared with Pidgin Market for a Market feature, requests concerning that Market data may also need to be directed to the relevant Market operator.

Important note

Ask Salem can process information from the website and connected services to provide useful answers, but AI responses may be incomplete or inaccurate. Do not submit sensitive information unless the relevant feature requires it and you have the right to provide it.
