Know Which Data Is Public
Public website questions can usually be answered from public pages. Order status, account data, billing details, and private business records should require verification or backend rules.
Use Protected Workflow Steps
Protected steps pause the conversation until the visitor is verified. Verification can use:
- Email OTP
- Signed sessions
- Backend API confirmation
- Role-based access controls
Control Integrations
Only send chatbot data to approved destinations. CRM, Slack, email, sheets, and webhook/API endpoints should be reviewed for:
- Business purpose
- Access control
- Data minimisation
- Audit logging
Write Clear Policies
Privacy, terms, and refund pages should explain:
- Chatbot data collection
- Lead record storage
- Transcript retention and deletion
- Integration destinations
- Support contact paths
Test Before Launch
Deployment should include:
- Content review — ensure responses are accurate and on-brand
- Workflow testing — all branches and edge cases
- Domain restrictions — widget only loads on approved domains
- Integration checks — data reaches the right destination
- Security review — protected data flows are gated correctly
