3. Third-Party Services

To deliver our services, we share data with the following third-party providers:

  • OpenAI - Message content is sent to OpenAI's API for generating chatbot responses. OpenAI processes this data according to their Privacy Policy.

3.2 Voice Services

3.5 Email, SMS and push notifications

  • Infobip - Used to deliver SMS messages (appointment confirmations and reminders, one-time codes, order updates). The recipient's phone number and the message text are processed by Infobip, per their Privacy Policy.
  • Expo (push notifications) - If you install our mobile app, notification titles and short texts are delivered to your device through Expo and the platform services (Apple APNs, Google FCM). No conversation content beyond the notification preview is sent this way.

4. Data Storage & Security

  • All connections use HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit
  • We implement access controls and regular security reviews

5. Data Retention

  • Account data: Retained for as long as your account is active, plus 30 days after deletion request

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in section 13 below.

7. End-User Data (Chatbot Visitors)

ChatBotAPP processes data from end-users (visitors who interact with chatbots built on our platform) on behalf of our clients (chatbot owners). In this capacity:

  • Our clients are the data controllers for end-user data
  • ChatBotAPP acts as a data processor
  • End-users should refer to the chatbot owner's privacy policy for information about how their data is handled
  • We process end-user data only as instructed by our clients and as necessary to provide the service

8. Cookies & Tracking

Our platform uses:

  • Session cookies - Essential for authentication and maintaining your login state
  • CSRF tokens - For security against cross-site request forgery
  • Local storage - The chatbot widget uses browser local storage to maintain conversation history

We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

9. Children's Privacy

Our platform is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us for immediate removal.

10. International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers (OpenAI, Meta, Infobip, Expo) may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where applicable.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of significant changes via email. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when the policy was last revised.

12. Mobile Application

Our mobile app (ChatBotAPP) is intended for our business customers, not for their end users. It shows the same data as the web panel and adds notifications.

  • Stored on your device: your login token (in the system keychain / keystore), your theme choice and, if your account has more than one bot, which bot you last viewed. Logging out deletes the login token from the device.
  • Login sessions expire after 60 days of inactivity, after which the app asks you to sign in again.
  • Notifications: to deliver them we store a device token issued by Apple or Google. You can turn notification groups off inside the app, and uninstalling the app or logging out removes the device from our list.
  • Face ID, Touch ID or fingerprint: if you enable app lock, the check is performed by your device. We never receive your biometric data; we only receive a yes or no.
  • Camera and photo library: used only when you choose to photograph a document for your bot's knowledge base. The image is not stored on our servers - only the text read from it is saved.
  • Account deletion: you can request deletion of your account and data at any time using the contact details below, or at chatbotapp.rs/data-deletion.
