6. Your users’ information in SetinChat
If you have enabled the SetinChat chat widget on your site, visitor information is processed only on your behalf and to provide this service. You are responsible for determining the purpose and manner of its use. If you are a visitor to such a site, first contact that site’s operator to access or delete your information.
- Recorded information includes: conversation text and the rating given to a conversation; the name, email and mobile number entered by the visitor in the conversation start form or sent by the site to identify them; IP address, browser, operating system and device type; the page through which the visitor entered the site and the addresses and titles of pages on that site where the chat widget is enabled; and the number and times of visits.
- The chat widget stores an identifier in the visitor’s browser storage so they can continue their previous conversation when they return to the same site.
- Conversations are retained while the system exists in your account. During the retention period specified for the plan, the account owner can obtain statistical reports and a CSV file; these reports do not include conversation text. The end of the retention period does not mean conversations are automatically deleted. To delete conversations or a visitor’s information, write to support@setintech.com.
