Information about General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR)
We may be collecting and using information from you if you are from the European
Economic Area (EEA), and in this section of our Privacy Policy we are going to explain
exactly how and why is this data collected, and how we maintain this data under protection
from being replicated or used in the wrong way.
What is GDPR?
GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how EU residents' data
is protected by companies and enhances the control the EU residents have, over their
personal data.
The GDPR is relevant to any globally operating company and not just the EU-based
businesses and EU residents. Our customers’ data is important irrespective of where they
are located, which is why we have implemented GDPR controls as our baseline standard for
all our operations worldwide.
What is personal data?
Any data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad
spectrum of information that could be used on its own, or in combination with other pieces of
information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person’s name or email
address. Some examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data,
biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.
The Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:
• Personal data collected must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way and
should only be used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
• Personal data should only be collected to fulfil a specific purpose and it should only
be used for that purpose. Organizations must specify why they need the personal data when
they collect it.
• Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfil its purpose.
• People covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They
can also request a copy of their data, and that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or
moved to another organization.
Why is GDPR important?
GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies should protect individuals'
personal data that they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for compliance by
increasing enforcement and imposing greater fines for breach. Beyond these facts it's simply
the right thing to do. At AI Chabot we strongly believe that your data privacy is very important
and we already have solid security and privacy practices in place that go beyond the
requirements of this new regulation.
Individual Data Subject's Rights - Data Access, Portability
and Deletion
We are committed to helping our customers meet the data subject rights requirements of
GDPR. AI Chabot processes or stores all personal data in fully vetted, DPA compliant
vendors. We do store all conversation and personal data for up to 6 years unless your
account is deleted. In which case, we dispose of all data in accordance with our Terms of
Service and Privacy Policy, but we will not hold it longer than 60 days.
We are aware that if you are working with EU customers, you need to be able to provide
them with the ability to access, update, retrieve and remove personal data. We got you!
We've been set up as self service from the start and have always given you access to your
data and your customers data. Our customer support team is here for you to answer any
questions you might have about working with the API.
California Residents
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires us to disclose categories of Personal
Information we collect and how we use it, the categories of sources from whom we collect
Personal Information, and the third parties with whom we share it, which we have explained
above.
We are also required to communicate information about rights California residents have
under California law. You may exercise the following rights:
• Right to Know and Access. You may submit a verifiable request for information
regarding the: (1) categories of Personal Information we collect, use, or share; (2) purposes
for which categories of Personal Information are collected or used by us; (3) categories of
sources from which we collect Personal Information; and (4) specific pieces of Personal
Information we have collected about you.
• Right to Equal Service. We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your
privacy rights.
• Right to Delete. You may submit a verifiable request to close your account and we
will delete Personal Information about you that we have collected.
• Request that a business that sells a consumer's personal data, not sell the
consumer's personal data.
If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise
any of these rights, please contact us.
We do not sell the Personal Information of our users.
