Privacy, consent and spam protection

Consent before a chat, what is stored, retention, personal data requests, and the spam limits.

Zinn® Chat keeps chats and tickets in your own database and gives you the tools to meet privacy law.

  1. Ask for consent

    In Settings, Privacy and spam, visitors can be asked to agree before a chat or ticket, with your own text and a link to your privacy policy.

  2. Keep only what you need

    Delete finished chats and tickets after a number of days, and store only a coded form of visitors' IP addresses, enough for spam limits.

  3. Export and erase

    WordPress's own Export and Erase Personal Data tools include chats and tickets.

  4. Stop spam

    Set limits on messages per hour, chats and tickets per day and message length, and block IP addresses, emails, domains or words. A hidden field stops simple bots.

The limits also protect your AI bill: every visitor message is a request to your AI provider.

Included with Zinn Digital® hosting
