### Is Ask My Data+ Right for You?

The base version is a great fit when you only need a few quick answers each day. **Ask My Data+** is built for organizations that want to use their data more regularly, whether you are reviewing performance, preparing for a board meeting, building a patron segment, planning a campaign, or looking for opportunities you may have missed.

Instead of spending time finding the right report, exporting data, and piecing together the answer, your team can simply ask the question and keep moving.

## FAQ

### Can I ensure my patrons' data isn't used to train models and is secure?

Privacy and preventing models from training on patron data were among the first musts we had to address before we decided to move forward with Ask My Data. Anthropic runs the data processing on the backend, and our specific model and corporate agreement with Anthropic prevent training on Ludus data, so it stays within our system, scoped to your account. Also, like all data in Ludus, everything complies with data privacy laws and requirements we must follow as a company.&#x20;

This is safer than exporting your Ludus data and importing it into your own chat-based system.

### Are there usage limits?

Every Ludus account includes access to Ask My Data with up to **10 questions per day**. For organizations that want to explore their data more often and unlock even more powerful tools, you can upgrade to **Ask My Data+**, which lets you dig deeper.&#x20;

By upgrading t&#x6F;**&#x20;Ask My Data+**, you will have access to ask up to 100 questions per day/per account.

### Can Ask My Data delete or change our data?

Nope! Ask My Data is read-only, so it can only pull data and give you answers for now.

### Is this replacing customer support?

No! This is simply for chatting with the data in your account. Ludus' top-notch *human* customer support will always be there for you in the bottom right corner of your admin panel.

### Where are the conversations stored?

In our own Ludus database, scoped to the account, just like any other customer data. We built this in-house and didn't outsource the chat interface. Standard retention and deletion policies apply (GDPR/CCPA compliant).

### What can't it do?

- Predictions: "Who will buy next month?" (no crystal ball)
- Profit margins: we don't have cost of goods data
- Modify or act on anything: can't refund, can't email, can't update records
- Schedule reports: no "email me this every Monday" (yet!)

### Can I share results with my team?

Yes! You can copy a link to any conversation, and any admin user with the link can access it. You can also export to PDF, download tables to CSV, and save graphs as PNGs.
