respond.io - Comprehensive platform with little info on data protection
The Kuala Lumpur-based company offers a messaging solution for businesses, promising to speed up transactions and reduce response times. Similar to Superchat, the software combines relevant communication channels and bundles them in one universal inbox.
The biggest uncertainty with respond.io is data protection. You won't find a clear legal notice (Impressum) anywhere on the website. Only the privacy policy names ROCKETBOTS LIMITED, based in Hong Kong, as the data controller. It is part of the respond.io group of companies and a subsidiary of Respond, Inc., based in the USA. This puts your customer data at risk of ending up in China and the US.
There is no EU adequacy decision for Hong Kong. This means that, from a GDPR perspective, its level of data protection is not automatically considered equivalent. Anyone transferring customer data there needs additional safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and should carefully check which provider they are entrusting their data to.
Respond.io does provide a privacy policy, but it neither publicly discloses its data region nor makes a DPA directly available.
Superchat, by contrast, is GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001-certified. Your data is stored on servers in Germany, stays private and is never used to train AI models.
