Security

    Your customer data. Protected by design.

    AlooChat handles some of the most sensitive conversations a business has — orders, payments, complaints and personal details, in Arabic and English, across WhatsApp, Instagram, your website and email. Security, privacy and data protection are built into how the platform, the AI agents and every integration work.

    What we protect

    Every part of the platform touches business-critical information. These are the areas our controls are designed around.

    Customer conversations across every channel
    Business and account information
    AI agent knowledge sources
    Documents uploaded for agent training
    Connected integrations and their data
    Team access and permissions

    How AlooChat protects your data

    The controls below are the ones we document publicly in our Privacy Policy and Terms.

    Data encryption

    Conversations and business data are encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and encrypted at rest with AES-256, so customer messages are protected both as they travel and where they are stored.

    Application security

    The platform is built on ISO 27001-aligned controls and reviewed by annual penetration tests. Our acceptable-use terms prohibit probing, reverse-engineering or circumventing platform security.

    Infrastructure security

    AlooChat runs on managed cloud infrastructure with servers in AWS Bahrain and AWS eu-central-1. Where data moves outside the GCC or EU, we apply Standard Contractual Clauses with supplementary technical measures.

    Access control

    Access is authenticated and governed by role-based controls, so team members see what their role allows. You decide who joins your workspace and what each person can do.

    Data privacy

    We process personal data under the GCC data-protection framework — UAE PDPL, Saudi PDPL and Kuwait CITRA Regulation 26/2024 — and the EU GDPR where it applies. Data-subject requests are answered within 30 days.

    Read the Privacy Policy

    Incident response

    We monitor for fraud and security events, investigate what we detect, and notify affected customers and regulators in line with the breach-notification duties set out in GCC data-protection law.

    AI security

    AI agents and your customer data

    An AI support platform holds more than tickets — it holds the knowledge your agent answers from. Here is how that content is handled.

    1Your knowledge sources — website content, uploaded documents and FAQs — train the AI agent that serves your business.
    2Language models are fine-tuned solely for your workspace unless you explicitly opt in to global training.
    3You can remove uploaded training data at any time from the dashboard.
    4Conversation data is retained for 24 months by default and is configurable between 0 and 36 months.
    5AI output is automated processing, but no decision with legal or similarly significant effect is taken without human review.
    6Connected integrations are governed by their own providers' terms, and you control which ones you connect.

    Privacy and data ownership

    Your content stays yours

    You retain ownership of the content you submit. The licence you grant us exists so we can provide, secure and improve the service — and to fine-tune models solely for your workspace unless you opt into global training. You can remove your data at any time.

    Clear retention and deletion

    Chat transcripts are kept for 24 months by default and can be configured from 0 to 36 months. If you leave, your data is deleted or de-identified within 90 days, except where the law requires us to keep records.

    Security for every conversation

    The same protections follow a customer conversation wherever it starts and whoever answers it — an AI agent or a member of your team.

    WhatsApp
    Instagram
    Website chat
    Email
    AI agents
    Human agents
    Connected channels and integrations are also governed by their own providers' terms. You choose which ones to connect, and you can disconnect them at any time.
