The GDPR applies to all organizations established in the EU and to organizations, whether or not established in the EU, that process the personal data of EU data subjects in connection with either the offering of goods or services to data subjects in the EU or the monitoring of behavior that takes place within the EU. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Bot users’ data is automatically deleted after 90 days. In case BotPenguin customers want to download the data they can download it in form of an excel.

How to make your Bot GDPR Compliant?

It’s pretty simple.

Document a consent: Just add a Yes/No question to your current bot, using Multi Choice, asking them if they would be happy to receive email updates. For example: “Shall we send you the latest updates?” or “To serve you better, we will save the data that you input to us. Are you ok with this?”.

Giving your user the data: If your user requests you to share the data that you collected from them, you can share the email notification that you received from us. It contains everything we have collected about that particular user. Or you can go to the Inbox section and find this record, select it (tick in the first column) and download it.

Deleting the data of your user: If your users ask you to delete their data, then you can go to the Inbox section, find this record, select it (tick in the first column) and press the Delete button. The data will be deleted permanently and it cannot be retrieved.

Server logs:

We maintain the server logs received from Facebook, for debugging issues and improving the performance for chatbots and our platform.

We also store the IP Address of the Website on which the chatbot is attached, against a particular bot user, so we can check whether the user is online or not and we can show it on Live Chat Feature.
