Processing of personal data in chats

As soon as the chat window is opened, the chat robot advises users against divulging any personal details. An automatic delete function has also been installed in the software. This ensures that national identity numbers are immediately anonymized once a message has been written and sent, which means that the NID is not stored or visible in the chat log. The delete function works such that all number combinations containing 7 digits or more are automatically deleted. The robot is supplied by the Norwegian company Boost.
