When the chat button is on:
- On every public page, your visitor’s browser loads the chat from frontivo.io ( https://frontivo.io/widget.js and the chat window it opens). Like any web request, this sends frontivo.io the visitor’s IP address and browser details, plus your widget ID and the address and title of the page.
- If a visitor uses the chat, what they type or say, and any name, email address or phone number they give, is sent to Frontivo.io to answer them, and saved in your Frontivo.io Inbox. Voice is turned into text by Frontivo.io’s speech providers. Frontivo.io uses third-party AI providers to write the answers.
- The chat window saves its conversation ID in the visitor’s browser storage on frontivo.io, so they can continue the chat on another page. Once a visitor has given their details, it also saves a sign-in token and their name there, so the chat recognises them next time. No advertising or analytics trackers run in the chat window.
- If you pick a Google font for your chat in the Frontivo.io dashboard, the visitor’s browser also loads that font from Google Fonts ( fonts.googleapis.com ), which receives their IP address. The default font loads nothing from Google. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
