Our position on data privacy
Live chat software that guarantees data privacy and GDPR compliance
Security and privacy of data has been an important topic for us since starting Userlike. To be able to operate in Germany, we had to adhere to the strict regulations placed on businesses. This has made the switch to the GDPR world a lot easier for us than most of our non-European competitors.
We’ve started and developed Userlike in Germany – probably the strictest regulatory environment in the world when it comes to data privacy. We take pride in our secured data setup and extensive set of privacy features.

Operator anonymization
We always advise Userlikers to be open about their identity to their customers, but certain work councils require anonymity for their employees. For this situation, we offer the options of operator Aliases and operator Analytics anonymization.
Data access
An important part of the GDPR concerns the ability to show your customers which of their data you own. Our search, filter, download, and data delete features make it easy to quickly comply to such requests.
