# Privacy & Security

## <mark style="color:blue;">Privacy</mark>

As with all LINK Mobility products, we strive to uphold all legal and ethical practices when it comes to data protection and privacy. Connect holds 3 core privacy actions to help you remain compliant:

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Forget User</mark>

By selecting ‘forget user’ on a profile your MLC bot will completely delete all user data and conversation history it holds about that user. This is applicable across all channels.

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Opt-in Permissions</mark>

As with any contact made, LINK recommends best practices to seek consent from the chatbot recipient. This may be a legal or recommended requirement in your region, and we suggest that you discuss this with your LINK account manager should you have any further questions.

MLC hosts a specific ‘Privacy Opt-in’ feature. This is a prescribed message that states that the user’s data such as name and email will be collected to support the chatbot experience further. A button linking to a full privacy policy is also provided. Chatbot users are then able to approve or refuse the terms before proceeding.

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Privacy Flag Condition</mark>

This feature will allow designers to flag users based on their preferred privacy settings and act accordingly.
