Trust, Security & GDPR
Last updated: 2025-12-30
This page explains how ChatterKB handles data, protects customer information, and complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
ChatterKB is a B2B software-as-a-service platform that processes customer-provided content to deliver AI-powered knowledge bases, search, chat, and workflows. We act as a data processor under GDPR, while our customers act as data controllers.
GDPR Compliance Overview
ChatterKB processes personal data in accordance with GDPR, including Articles 28 and 32. We process customer data only on documented instructions from our customers and solely for the purpose of providing the service.
We provide a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that incorporates Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to support lawful international data transfers.
Data We Process
Depending on customer usage, we may process the following categories of data:
- Account information (such as email address)
- User-generated content (documents, messages, workflows)
- Chat history and AI-generated responses
- Metadata required to operate the service
- Encrypted access tokens for third-party integrations (for example, CRM connections)
ChatterKB does not process passwords directly. Authentication credentials are managed by our identity provider.
Data Storage and Location
Customer data is stored in cloud-hosted databases and object storage. Where available, customers may request EU-based storage for application data and source documents.
Some processing activities currently occur in the United States, including:
- Application hosting
- AI inference using managed large language models
- Object storage for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) files
These transfers are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses and appropriate technical and organizational safeguards.
AI and Model Usage
ChatterKB uses large language models to generate responses and execute workflows.
- Customer data is processed transiently for inference and response generation
- Data is not retained after inference unless required for the customer’s account
- Customer data is never used to train, fine-tune, or improve models
- Model providers act as subprocessors under our DPA
Security Measures
ChatterKB implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect customer data, including:
- Encryption in transit using HTTPS/TLS
- Encryption at rest for databases and object storage
- Logical tenant isolation
- Access controls and least-privilege permissions
- Secure handling of secrets and access tokens
- Monitoring and incident response procedures
Data Retention and Deletion
Customer data is retained only for as long as the customer maintains an active account or as required to provide the service.
Upon account termination or written request, customer data is deleted within a defined retention period, unless legal obligations require longer retention.
Customers may also request export of their data at any time.
Data Subject Rights
Customers may use ChatterKB to support GDPR data subject rights, including:
- Right of access
- Right to rectification
- Right to erasure
- Right to restriction of processing
- Right to data portability
As a data processor, ChatterKB assists customers in fulfilling these requests where applicable.
Subprocessors
ChatterKB uses trusted subprocessors to provide the service, including cloud infrastructure and AI service providers.
