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:
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.
Everything enterprise customers need before deploying
Your data never leaves Europe. Boei runs on DigitalOcean's EU data centers in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This means full GDPR territorial protection. Not just policy compliance, but actual data residency in the European Union.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One-click GDPR erase for any contact. Deletes all conversations, messages, deals, and contact metadata permanently. Full compliance with GDPR Article 17 erasure requests.
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.
We host on DigitalOcean, which is AICPA SOC 2 Type II certified. Independent auditors have verified their security controls for data handling, availability, and confidentiality.
Built by engineers with experience at global banks and insurance companies
VPN + 2FA required for production access. SSH via RSA certificates only.
All code changes require review before deployment. Automated vulnerability scans.
Security patches deployed multiple times weekly. LTS operating systems.
Daily backups with 90-day retention on AWS S3 (99.99% durability).
AES-256 hashed passwords. Lockout after failed attempts. No email passwords.
Team workstations require antivirus. No production data on local devices.
Capture leads with structured question flows. Ask for name, email, phone, and company inside the chat conversation.
Pick from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Mistral. Switch models anytime from your dashboard.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
