Is AI Chatbot Safe for Your Business?

It's a valid concern. When you add an AI chatbot to your website, customer conversations flow through that system. Sensitive information: names, emails, phone numbers, sometimes payment details or medical questions. Gets processed. You need to trust that data stays private and secure. Critical for healthcare chatbots. Essential for law firm chatbots. Required for insurance chatbots.

The short answer: yes, AI chatbots can be completely safe. But only if you choose a provider that takes security seriously. Here's what to look for:

  • Data location. Where are servers hosted? EU-based servers mean GDPR protection applies
  • Training policy. Does the provider use your conversations to train AI models? They shouldn't
  • Encryption. Is data encrypted both in transit and at rest?
  • Compliance. Do they offer DPA (Data Processing Agreement) for enterprise needs?
  • Cookie policy. Can you run cookieless for maximum privacy?

Boei was built with these concerns in mind from day one. We don't just meet security standards. We exceed them. See all security features.

Security & Compliance Features

Everything enterprise customers need before deploying

EU Data Centers (Nuremberg)

Your data never leaves Europe. Boei runs on Hetzner's EU data centers in Nuremberg, Germany. This means full GDPR territorial protection. Not just policy compliance, but actual data residency in the European Union.

No Training on Your Data

Unlike some AI providers, we never use your customer conversations to train AI models. Your private business data stays private. Period. Conversations are only used to respond to your visitors, then stored securely for your records.

256-bit AES Encryption

All data is encrypted in transit using TLS (HTTPS) and at rest using 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Each server has unique encryption keys. This is the same standard used by banks and government agencies.

Cookieless Mode Available

Need to avoid cookie consent banners? Run Boei in completely cookieless mode. No tracking cookies, no local storage abuse. Just the chatbot functionality your visitors need. Perfect for maximum GDPR/ePrivacy compliance.

Auto-Delete Conversations

Set a data retention period per domain in Settings. A daily process automatically deletes closed conversations older than your threshold, including all messages and metadata. Orphaned contacts are cleaned up too.

Right to Be Forgotten

One-click GDPR erase for any contact. Deletes all conversations, messages, deals, and contact metadata permanently. Full compliance with GDPR Article 17 erasure requests.

DPA Available

We provide a comprehensive Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for businesses that need formal documentation of how we handle data. Essential for enterprise procurement processes and regulatory compliance.

Certified Infrastructure

We host on Hetzner, whose data centers are ISO/IEC 27001 certified. Independent auditors have verified their security controls for data handling, availability, and confidentiality.

Technical Security Measures

Built by engineers with experience at global banks and insurance companies

Access Controls

VPN + 2FA required for production access. SSH via RSA certificates only.

Code Review

All code changes require review before deployment. Automated vulnerability scans.

Regular Patching

Security patches deployed multiple times weekly. LTS operating systems.

Backup Strategy

Daily backups with 60-day retention on Hetzner Storage Box in Nuremberg, Germany (EEA), separate from the primary database servers.

Password Security

AES-256 hashed passwords. Lockout after failed attempts. No email passwords.

Endpoint Security

Team workstations require antivirus. No production data on local devices.

Lead Flow

Capture leads with structured question flows. Ask for name, email, phone, and company inside the chat conversation.

Choose Your AI Model

Pick from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Mistral. Switch models anytime from your dashboard.

Exact Answers

Override AI responses for specific questions. Bulk-import Q&A pairs via Excel template.

Why it matters: If you serve EU customers, GDPR requires careful vendor selection. Boei is one of the few AI chatbot providers with actual EU data residency. Not just a DPA checkbox.

GDPR Compliance in Detail

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) isn't just about having a privacy policy. It requires specific technical and organizational measures for handling EU citizens' personal data. Here's how Boei complies:

Lawful Basis for Processing

Boei processes conversation data on behalf of your business (you're the data controller, we're the processor). The lawful basis is typically legitimate interest (customer support) or contract performance. Our DPA documents this relationship formally.

Data Minimization

We only collect what's necessary: conversation content, timestamps, and any contact information your visitors voluntarily provide. No hidden tracking, no behavioral profiling, no selling data to third parties.

Data Retention & Auto-Deletion

Set a data retention period per domain in Settings > Data Retention. A daily automated process at 02:00 UTC deletes all closed conversations older than your threshold - including messages, metadata, read receipts, and internal notes. Contacts that become orphaned (no remaining conversations or deals) are automatically cleaned up too.

Right to Be Forgotten (Article 17)

Need to erase a contact completely? Boei supports full GDPR erasure with one click. It deletes all conversations and messages, all deals, contact metadata, and the contact record itself. No need to contact support - you handle erasure requests directly from your dashboard.

Data Portability

Export your conversation history and leads anytime. Your data is yours: you can download it, analyze it, or migrate it to another system whenever you want.

Sub-processors

We use OpenAI and Anthropic for AI processing. Both maintain their own GDPR compliance programs. Our DPA includes a sub-processor list so you know exactly who handles data.

It's all upside — Boei dramatically improves responsiveness, patient conversion, and operational efficiency, and the ROI is easily justified.

We initially installed Boei on our agency website to test its capabilities, and the results were so impressive that we've now implemented it across approximately 10 client sites. The AI chatbot not only learns from each website's unique content but also provides valuable data for our SEO strategies.

What do you like best about Boei? I'm giving 10 points. Why? This app is super easy. You can configure your chat widget in 5 minutes, add a JS script to your "header" in your theme and wooollaaa done. Nothing hard. We have been using Boei mainly for small corporate websites. It really solves our need to have a small chat widget which does not add up 150Kb and XXXXX JS scripts. It's really lightweight and it does not affect your website speed.

I have been using Boei for over a year. It is very simple yet effective to implement it. Support is great - Ruben is always responsive and helpful. The product has also added new features which I have not yet needed but good to know Ruben is always working hard to add value to users of Boei. I am sure there are other similar solutions but for the price, support and features (and future updates), this is a great value.

I have a quick chat on each page, so it simplifies the way my clients can get in touch with me. It was very easy to implement and they continue to improve this software and are open to feedback. An easy way to add a communication widget to the website. I like best that it supports Messenger and Whatsaap, phone, email and live chat and it is easy to translate for multilingual pages. I can't think about real drowbacks. The [SENSITIVE CONTENT] reply all the support questions quickly and effectively, they are open to feedback. I had no issues at all with this software. Maybe if they could add some protection against spammers if you use the contact form and in some future add a chatbot, that would be fantastic.

I was looking for a chat app to easily communicate with my customers. I didn't want to install anything overly complex and I just wanted something that worked within minutes. After briefly using Boei, I knew it was right for me. It's super lightweight and easy to use, plus it has all the chat bots that you might need! Highly recommend to anyone looking for something simple. I wish there was a better UI or more design options.

We have been using Boei for many clients over the past year and the impact on the page speed is negligible and helps convert website visitors to warm leads. Ease of deployment, lightweight code, and overall flexibility and functionality. The form component isn't exactly flexible and extensive enough for most uses so we often have to use another form solution.

The greatest chat widget for websites I have ever tried. It's quite light and not reduce the site loading speed. Quite easy to install on any type of sites/CMS platform. The features and integrations is continuously developed. The support Ruben and his team provide is the best. Easily number one pick.

I want to leave this review because I want to tell you 2 important things: one is that those who don't speak English well often find themselves having to live with Google Translate as their best friend, and the other is that BOEI is fantastic, simple and intuitive even for those who don't speak English well. I am really enthusiastic about the ease of use from the first time, which I rarely find in a similar app. Personally I recommend it to everyone!

Very happy to give 5 Stars for this plugin. Over 70% of my business enquiries are coming from Smartphone users based on my Google Analytics. Boei allows those users to contact me on their preferred social Channel with one click. I also can follow up on that channel later or over time with the conversion thread preserved. It's a pop up with a GIF that looks great on my site. And it gives the prospective client the opportunity to fill out a standard contact form as well. I am implementing it on all my sites now, and I am very happy to recommend. I would try the free version first so you are sure. Thanks Fran

It was very easy to configure and setup on my website. The only issue I had to deal with was to decide what channels not to include in the pop up on the website. I need to be clear what are the essential channels to include for each site that I design. Very happy to give Top Marks to this Plugin. Most of my business enquiries are coming from Smartphone users based on my Analytics. Boei allows those users in particular contact me on the preferred social Channel with one click. I also can follow up on that channel later or over time with the conversion thread preserved. Its a pop up and also give the prospective client the opportunity to fill out a standard contact form as well. I am implementing it on all my sites now and I am very happy to recommend. I need to make sure I am not including channel options that are not relevant, so I need to be sure of my target audience to avoid clutter when the pop up is activated.

It makes it easier for website visitors to engage with me on the channel of their choice. Installing Boei was simple, took less than 5 minutes, and I was up and running. What I liked is that you can install it on Wordpress, HTML, and even on other page builders. You can use it with WhatsApp, Telegram, Live chat, Facebook messenger, or any combination of them at once so that visitors can pick the channel they're most comfortable with. None at the moment, everything is working as it should be.

How is this possible? I have been searching for a service like boei, without success for over a year. What magic is this? Isn't set up supposed to be supremely complicated, involving a coding degree, extensive technical knowledge and possibly a miracle? Boei just works. It works so well I was suspicious of it for nearly a whole week, sending endless texts and emails to myself in utter disbelief, when it failed to keel over! Set up is straight forward, easy and takes minutes. Seriously, I cannot recommend Boei enough.

Just about as easy as it gets. It uses all the ways you already have to connect to you, lets your customers choose how they want to connect, and doesn't give you another place to check for messages. Has plenty of configuration options, and support has been very responsive, and willing to listen to ideas to make improvements. Really pleased with how it looks on my sites as well. Bit of a bargain!

Boei has been a time saver for me. I was looking for a way to integrate various social media chat options into my website so that my customers can contact me using the platform of their choice. I tried 3-4 other platforms but nothing came closer to the experience I finally got from Boei. Its WhatsApp and Google Map integration bought me over. I just wish it has support for Frase assistant and Gist assistant. Ease of use, and painless integration of various chat platforms. lacking integration with Frase and Gist and some of the labels are confusing.

I like that Boei is an AI that learns and continues improving by using our website's information to best answer user questions and guide them on our site. The ease of use is fantastic, requiring no coding or extensive setup work. I was able to have it running on our website in less than 30 minutes even with full customization. If I were to grade the setup ease on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it an 11.

Nowadays, omnichannel offers us great advantages, but when we want to incorporate all the channels in our site we face a great dilemma: to include icons for each channel, generating visual saturation and confusion. It is here where Boei becomes a fantastic tool, since in a simple way it gives us the necessary order to provide our customers with a wide range of channels so that they can choose the one they feel most comfortable to communicate with us.

Security & Privacy FAQ

Does Boei train AI models on my customer conversations?

No, absolutely not. Your customer conversations are never used to train AI models. We use OpenAI and Anthropic's APIs which also don't train on API data. Your private business conversations stay private. They're only used to generate responses for your visitors and then stored securely for your records.

Where is my data stored?

All primary data is stored in Hetzner's EU data centers in Nuremberg, Germany. Backups are held on separate Hetzner infrastructure inside the EU/EEA. This means your data has full GDPR territorial protection and never leaves the EU for primary processing.

Is Boei GDPR compliant?

Yes, fully. We maintain GDPR compliance through EU data residency (Hetzner servers in Nuremberg, Germany), encryption at rest and in transit, and data minimization practices. We support data subject rights (access, erasure, portability) and offer formal Data Processing Agreements.

Can I run Boei without cookies?

Yes. Boei offers a completely cookieless mode where no cookies or local storage are used. This is perfect for businesses that want to avoid cookie consent requirements or provide maximum privacy to visitors. The chatbot works fully without any client-side storage.

Do you provide a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)?

Yes, we provide a comprehensive DPA for businesses that need formal documentation. This covers the data processing relationship, security measures, sub-processors, and your rights as a data controller. Contact us at [email protected] to request a DPA.

What encryption does Boei use?

We use 256-bit AES encryption for data at rest (full disk encryption with unique keys per server) and TLS encryption for data in transit (HTTPS). This is the same encryption standard used by banks and government agencies. S3 backups are also encrypted.

Who has access to my data?

Access to production systems is strictly limited. Team members require VPN authentication, unique strong passwords, and two-factor authentication. SSH access uses passphrase-protected RSA certificates. No production data is ever replicated to local devices.

What happens if there's a security incident?

Our engineering team has 24/7 on-call support and experience from global banks and insurance companies. In the unlikely event of a security incident, we follow a formal incident response process and will notify affected customers as required by GDPR (within 72 hours).

Can Boei be used for healthcare or financial services?

Boei provides strong security suitable for many regulated industries. However, we're not currently HIPAA certified. For healthcare in the US, consult with your compliance team. For financial services and other regulated industries in the EU, our GDPR compliance and security measures typically meet requirements.

How long do you retain conversation data?

You're in full control. Set a data retention period per domain in Settings > Data Retention. A daily automated process deletes all closed conversations older than your threshold, including messages, metadata, and orphaned contacts. System backups are retained for 60 days on Hetzner Storage Box in the EEA and rotated out automatically; backups are append-only and cannot be selectively purged, so any deleted data leaves the backup set on rotation. If you close your account, active-system data is deleted within 28 days per the DPA.

Can I erase a specific contact's data for GDPR?

Yes. Boei supports full GDPR right-to-be-forgotten requests. With one click, you can permanently erase a contact and all their data: conversations, messages, deals, and metadata. No need to contact support - handle erasure requests directly from your dashboard.

Can I choose which AI model powers the chatbot?

Yes. Boei supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Mistral models. You can switch models anytime from your dashboard settings. All models train on your website content automatically.
