Our position on data privacy
Live chat software that guarantees data privacy and GDPR compliance

Security and privacy of data has been an important topic for us since starting Userlike. To be able to operate in Germany, we had to adhere to the strict regulations placed on businesses. This has made the switch to the GDPR world a lot easier for us than most of our non-European competitors.

Userlike’s co-founder Timoor Taufig with a quote about Userlike’s data security features.

We’ve started and developed Userlike in Germany – probably the strictest regulatory environment in the world when it comes to data privacy. We take pride in our secured data setup and extensive set of privacy features.

Features for data privacy and security Privacy for you, your employees, and your customers

Works council compliance

Userlike is multi-client capable and supports full anonymization of operators and contacts. This allows you to prevent performance- and behavior-based monitoring of individual employees – which will also convince your works council.

Privacy mode

By activating the privacy mode, Userlike won’t collect any customer information that she didn’t explicitly provide – such as location, operating system, and public social media profiles.

Data access

An important part of the GDPR concerns the ability to show your customers which of their data you own. Our search, filter, download, and data delete features make it easy to quickly comply to such requests.
