Sara – stemmeassistent for spørsmål om barnevernet

Hva Sara er

Sara er en kunstig intelligens som svarer på generelle spørsmål om barnevernet. Sara er ikke et menneske, gir ikke råd i enkeltsaker, og er ikke en kanal for å kontakte barnevernstjenesten. Ikke del personopplysninger i samtalen — navn, fødselsnummer eller detaljer om en konkret sak. Gjelder det din egen sak, kontakt barnevernstjenesten i kommunen din.

Hva som lagres — og ikke

Hvem som behandler data

Tjenesten kjører på Microsoft Azure i Sverige. Språkmodellene som leser spørsmålet ditt og skriver Saras svar, kan behandle meldingene i et hvilket som helst EU-land (Microsofts EU-datasone). Søket i kildene skjer i en søkeindeks i Sveits, som EU har godkjent som trygt tredjeland. Talegjenkjenning og opplesing skjer i Sverige; for opplesingen kobler nettleseren din seg direkte til Microsofts taletjeneste. Microsoft er underleverandør for all denne behandlingen.

Behandlingsansvarlig og dine rettigheter

På sarabarnevern.no er Hotvedt Fag og Utvikling AS (org.nr. 937 751 559) behandlingsansvarlig. Spørsmål om personvern kan sendes til personvern@sarabarnevern.no. Selskapet har ikke personvernombud.

Det rettslige grunnlaget er personvernforordningen artikkel 6 nr. 1 bokstav f (berettiget interesse): å kunne svare på spørsmålene som stilles, og å beskytte tjenesten mot misbruk.

Du har rett til innsyn i opplysninger om deg, til å få dem rettet eller slettet, og til å protestere mot behandlingen. Fordi tjenesten ikke lagrer samtaler og ikke vet hvem du er, finnes det som regel ingen opplysninger å utlevere.

Du kan klage til Datatilsynet, datatilsynet.no.

Sara – voice assistant for questions about Norwegian child welfare

What Sara is

Sara is an artificial intelligence answering general questions about the Norwegian child welfare services. Sara is not a human, does not advise on individual cases, and is not a channel for contacting the child welfare services. Do not share personal details in the conversation — names, ID numbers, or specifics of a case. For your own case, contact the child welfare services in your municipality.

What is kept — and not

  • No account, no login, no tracking cookies.
  • The conversation exists only in your browser, in this tab. It stays when you refresh the page or go to another page of the same site. If you leave the site or close the tab, it cannot be brought back after more than a minute, not even if the browser reopens the tab. If you close Sara and do not open her again within a minute, or leave «Are you still there?» unanswered for 30 minutes, it is erased. The service does not store conversations.
  • So that Sara remembers the conversation if the connection drops, the service sends a signed copy of it to your browser after each answer. The copy is held only in your browser, in this tab, and is erased with the conversation.
  • Microsoft automatically checks messages to and from the language model for harmful content and misuse. If a message is flagged, or Microsoft sees a pattern that may indicate misuse of the service, that message may be stored in Sweden for up to 30 days, together with the conversation so far and Sara's answer, and read by authorised Microsoft employees in the EU/EEA. This is done by Microsoft, not by the service itself.
  • Your voice is processed only in the moment, to turn it into text. Audio recordings are not kept.
  • Technical logs never contain what you said or what Sara answered. They contain numbers such as lengths and response times, the language you chose, section numbers a question mentioned, whether a safety filter stopped a message and which category the filter gave, which type of name a check of Sara's answer stopped, and your IP address when the service has to protect itself against abuse. Logs are deleted after 30 days.

Who processes data

The service runs on Microsoft Azure in Sweden. The language models that read your question and write Sara's answers may process the messages in any EU country (Microsoft's EU Data Zone). The search in the sources runs in a search index in Switzerland, which the EU has approved as an adequate third country. Speech recognition and read-aloud run in Sweden; for read-aloud, your browser connects directly to Microsoft's speech service. Microsoft is the sub-processor for all of this processing.

Data controller and your rights

On sarabarnevern.no, Hotvedt Fag og Utvikling AS (organisation number 937 751 559) is the data controller. Questions about privacy can be sent to personvern@sarabarnevern.no. The company has no data protection officer.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interests): to answer the questions that are asked, and to protect the service against abuse.

You have the right to access information about you, to have it corrected or erased, and to object to the processing. Because the service does not store conversations and does not know who you are, there is usually nothing to hand over.

You can complain to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, datatilsynet.no.
