The chatbot would collect information according to the user’s situation to resolve any matters and information such as the user’s name, email, or contact number can be collected for Gennext to be able to contact the user if needed.

As analytics is an important part of a website, Gennext uses external third-party software from Google such as Google Search Console, and Google Analytics to collect, measure and analyze user information.

Children’s information

One of the main concerns at Gennext is protection for children while using the internet. While we encourage parents to acknowledge and guide childrens’ activities on the internet, Gennext does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If We become aware that we have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

As we need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your information, a child would require consent from a parent. Therefore we may require parent’s consent before we collect and use children’s information.
