DOES SMARTSUPP COMPLY WITH THE GDPR?

Yes, Smartsupp is GDPR compliant.

At Smartsupp, we have really focused on GDPR.

  • our data is only stored within the EU. This is a big plus because personal data is safe in the EU.

DO I NEED APPROVAL FROM MY CUSTOMERS WHEN I USE SMARTSUPP?

Smartsupp uses cookies. So it depends on how you use Smartsupp.

  • I only use a basic version of the chatbot without advanced features - you do not need consent here, as you are processing this data based on your legitimate interest to answer a customer's query and provide customer support.
  • I also use "smart" analytics and marketing features - you can't do without consent here. We recommend that you procure consent with a cookie bar where the user gives explicit consent to analytical and/or marketing cookies (e.g. Allow All).
