Security & Data

Your business data, protected by design

You're trusting ChatBiz with real customer conversations and real payments. Here's exactly how we protect that trust.

How we protect you

Built on secure foundations

Encryption everywhere

All data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2+ and encrypted at rest in our database. Your customer conversations are never stored or transmitted in plain text.

Per-business data isolation

Every business's conversations, knowledge base, and customer data are logically separated. Your data is never visible to, or mixed with, another business on ChatBiz.

PCI-DSS compliant payments

All card payments are processed directly through Paystack, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified provider. ChatBiz never sees or stores your customers' card details.

Secure authentication

Account passwords are hashed, never stored in plain text. Session tokens are signed and expire automatically to keep your dashboard access secure.

Official WhatsApp infrastructure

We connect to your customers exclusively through Meta's official WhatsApp Business Cloud API — the same infrastructure Meta itself operates on, not a third-party workaround.

Regular backups

Your knowledge base, conversation history, and order data are backed up regularly, so a technical issue on our end never means losing your business data.

Your rights

You stay in control

It's your business and your customers. Here's what that means in practice.

Access your data anytime

Every conversation, order, and knowledge base file you upload is visible and exportable from your dashboard at any time — nothing is hidden from you.

Delete your data on request

Close your account and request deletion at any time. We remove your business data from our systems in line with NDPR data subject rights.

We never sell your data

Your customer conversations and business information are never sold, rented, or shared with advertisers or third parties for marketing purposes — ever.

You control the AI's knowledge

The AI only ever answers from the product lists, prices, and FAQs you explicitly upload. It cannot access anything outside what you've given it.

Aligned with NDPR

ChatBiz handles personal data in accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), and payments are processed exclusively through Paystack's PCI-DSS Level 1 certified infrastructure — we never store card details ourselves.

Common questions

Straight answers about how your data is handled

Is ChatBiz compliant with Nigerian data protection law?

Yes. We handle personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), including your customers' right to know what data is collected and how it's used.

Can ChatBiz staff read my customer conversations?

Access to conversation data is restricted to what's strictly necessary for support and platform operation, and is logged. We do not read conversations for any other purpose.

What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription?

Your data remains accessible for a grace period after cancellation in case you resubscribe, after which it is permanently deleted unless you request earlier deletion.

Does Meta or WhatsApp see my customer messages?

Messages pass through Meta's official WhatsApp Business Cloud API to be delivered, which is the same infrastructure any verified WhatsApp Business integration uses. This is Meta's standard, documented API behavior for all businesses using WhatsApp Business.
