### Remarks

Connect **does not enforce specific actions** usage based on selected privacy flag: it is up to your chatbot design to accomodate for specific user preferences.\

Privacy preferences are stored in a very specific runtime area that cannot be accessed by your conversation operators or chatbot runtime. Only this action can alter the value of these preferences.
