European by default, not by checkbox.
Your data is stored and processed in the EU. AI is disclosed to visitors, optional, and never trained on your conversations. Humans approve what AI sends. That is the product, not a settings page.
Most chat tools were built for a US market and retrofitted for Europe. The gaps are predictable:
Data storage abroad
Conversations replicated to US regions create transfer headaches — or silent ones nobody audited.
Invisible AI
AI answers with no visitor disclosure, no opt-out, and no paper trail — a problem since the EU AI Act’s transparency duties.
Export as a project
Data portability that takes a support ticket and six weeks is not portability.
Training on your customers
Vendor models quietly learning from your support traffic — most policies mention it in paragraph nine.
The requirements are handled where they belong — in the product:
Consent tracking
Versioned consent records with a full audit trail, so you know who agreed to what and when.
One-click export
Every workspace exports to machine-readable JSON from settings. No ticket, no waiting period.
Deletion with a safety net
Account deletion includes a 30-day grace period, then permanent erasure — backups included.
Real portability
Standard formats, complete data, no lock-in. Leaving should be boring; we make sure it is.
