GDPR + AI customer support.
GDPR applies whenever an EU resident interacts with your AI assistant. helpcode is designed so the GDPR-compliant path is the default — EU hosting, signed DPA, sub-processor transparency, no training on customer data, and self-service erasure.
In three points
.01
Lawful basis
Customer support typically relies on legitimate interest (art. 6.1.f) or contract performance. The lawful-basis register is part of the DPA pack.
.02
Data minimisation
helpcode only stores the conversation transcript and the citations. PII is redactable per-tenant at write time.
.03
Data subject rights
Articles 15-22 supported: access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction.
