Privacy and trust
Namiru is built for GDPR and the EU AI Act. This page shows exactly what the chat does with your visitors' data, where it goes and how long it stays, so you can check it yourself.
Last updated: 30 September 2026
What we do by default
- Hosted in Germany
- Your account, assistants, knowledge and conversations are stored on our servers at Hetzner in Germany.
- Every chat says it is AI
- A small "Sent by AI" note sits under the first message, as Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires. The assistant is also instructed never to claim it is human.
- Nothing stored before the chat opens
- The widget writes nothing to a visitor's browser until they open the chat or start using it.
- A DPA is part of our Terms
- Processor terms under Article 28 GDPR apply to every customer automatically, with a public list of the providers we use.
What the chat does in a visitor's browser
The widget stays quiet until the visitor asks for it.
Before the visitor opens the chat
Empty- The chat button appears with your colours and greeting.
- Nothing is written to the visitor's device.
- With the chat button, no conversation starts on our servers.
After the visitor opens the chat
1 chat ID, 30 days- A random visitor ID is kept for 30 days after the last chat, so a reload continues the conversation.
- A session ID lives only in the current browser tab.
- If the visitor closes a greeting, that choice is remembered.
Want no request to Namiru at all before a click? Use the "Load only when clicked" install code in your dashboard. It shows a plain chat button and loads Namiru only when the visitor clicks it. We also recommend keeping the chat off login, account and payment pages.
EU AI Act
- The note "Sent by AI" appears under the first message in every conversation, in the visitor's language. Branding options cannot remove it.
- AI replies are marked in a machine-readable way (data-ai-generated) in the chat and in transcript emails.
- The assistant is told to say it is an AI whenever someone asks, even if your own instructions describe a person.
- Replies written by your team during a live handoff are shown as human replies, not as AI.

Less data by design
- Visitor IP addresses are never sent to outside lookup services. The country is worked out on our own servers from a local database.
- Chat and analytics records keep only a hash of the IP address, made with a secret key.
- Chat message logs are deleted after 90 days, security events after 180 days and website analytics after 13 months.
- You can delete any conversation from your dashboard, for example when a visitor asks you to.
- We do not use your conversations to train models of our own.
Your part as the website owner
You decide what the assistant does, so you are the controller of your visitors' data. Mention Namiru in your privacy policy. You can adapt this text:
Our website uses a chat assistant provided by Crowie s. r. o. (Namiru.ai), Lipovník 187, 049 42 Lipovník, Slovakia, which processes chat messages on our behalf. Replies are generated by AI: messages are processed through OpenRouter, Inc. (USA), Alibaba Cloud (Singapore, China) and other AI model providers selected by OpenRouter. Conversation data is stored in Germany. When you open the chat, a random ID is stored in your browser for 30 days after your last chat so the conversation can continue. We keep conversations as long as we need them to answer you, and you can ask us to delete them at any time.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit with TLS. Credentials you give us for data feeds, webhooks and notification channels are stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM). Access to production systems is limited, and we review the service for security issues regularly.
