Messaging Software Built for a GDPR Compliance Program
The General Data Protection Regulation puts real obligations on any business processing the personal data of people in the EU, and that includes the phone numbers, names, and conversation history that flow through SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, and AI agent messaging. No software product can make an organization compliant on its own. What it can do is give your compliance team the infrastructure and controls to build on: where data is processed, who can access it, and how personal data is handled inside an AI conversation.
What GDPR Asks of a Data Controller
| GDPR Principle | What It Means in Practice |
|---|---|
| Lawful basis & purpose limitation | Personal data must be processed for a specific, lawful purpose, such as consent or legitimate interest, not repurposed silently. |
| Data minimization | Collect and retain only the personal data actually needed for that purpose. |
| Security of processing | Appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against breach or misuse. |
| Data subject rights | Individuals can request access, correction, erasure, or portability of their personal data. |
| Breach notification | Personal data breaches must generally be reported to the supervisory authority, and to affected individuals in higher-risk cases. |
| International transfers | Transferring personal data outside the EU requires an approved safeguard, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses. |
This is a plain-language summary for context, not legal advice. Your specific obligations depend on your business and should be confirmed with your own legal counsel or data protection officer.
Platform Controls That Support Your Program
Data Residency You Control
- Run the platform fully on-premise or in your own AWS, Azure, or GCP account, choosing the region a deployment sits in yourself.
- See On-Premise Messaging Software and Private Cloud Deployment for both models.
PII Controls on AI Conversations
- AI Agent Builder supports PII redaction and topic guardrails per bot.
- Bring your own model key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, or Gemini if you need to control which AI provider ever processes a query, with BYOK credentials encrypted at rest.
Restricted, Validated Data Exchange
- Bulk SMS & RCS via SFTP runs over an IP-restricted connection instead of a public API, with every file validated before anything is sent.
- The Website Chat Widget is locked to an allowlist of domains, with bot-traffic and scam-content detection.
No Vendor Lock-In on Infrastructure
- Licensed software, not a platform tied to one cloud provider or region.
- Move or add regions as your footprint or transfer requirements change.

Talk to a SpecialistNot Legal Advice
This page describes platform capabilities that can support a GDPR compliance program, such as data residency choice, PII redaction, and access controls. It is not a compliance certification, and no vendor can guarantee your organization meets its GDPR obligations. Whether your specific processing activities are compliant depends on facts about your business, your lawful basis, and your data handling policies, which only your own legal team or data protection officer can assess.
