Privacy-first chat: consent for US, UK and Canadian visitors
The chat asks visitors to accept your privacy notice before they start, keeps a record of the choice and gives you the tools to help follow GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA and US state rules.
Customers share personal details in chat, so privacy cannot be an afterthought. OA Connect is built to help you handle that responsibly.
Consent before the conversation
The chat shows your privacy notice and asks the visitor to accept it before the conversation begins. The decision is recorded against the conversation.
Safer by default
- Credentials are encrypted.
- Database lookups are read-only.
- The AI model never sees your passwords or API keys.
- The chat is locked to your allowed domains.
A note on compliance
No software makes a business compliant on its own. Compliance depends on how you set things up, what you collect and how you use it. We publish plain-language pages on security, privacy and Canadian and US privacy rules so you can see what we do today and what we are still adding.
