Does data ever leave the primary residency region?

View AI Documentation →
Where does AI processing take place?

AI processing may take place in the United States because BotNira uses OpenAI services for applicable AI and speech processing.

This processing is separate from the regional storage and backup architecture described in BotNira's data-residency documentation.

Does using regional data residency mean all processing happens inside that country?

No. Regional data residency primarily describes where applicable BotNira data is stored and backed up.

Certain third-party processing, including OpenAI AI processing, may occur outside the primary residency region.

Communication FAQs

Who handles BotNira phone calls?

Phone communications can involve Twilio as the telecommunications infrastructure provider.

The general architecture is:

Phone call → Twilio → BotNira → OpenAI speech/AI processing → BotNira → CRM/integration → storage.

Does WhatsApp involve a third party?

Yes. WhatsApp communication involves Meta's infrastructure for message transmission.

BotNira then handles applicable processing and storage within its platform.

Does BotNira use a third party for email?

Email communication is handled through BotNira's services according to the applicable configuration.

Does website chat involve another provider?

Website chat is handled through BotNira services without an additional communication intermediary.

Does having a HIPAA certificate mean BotNira can automatically be used for every HIPAA workload?

No. A certification or assessment does not by itself establish that every customer implementation satisfies all HIPAA requirements.

Specific healthcare use cases may require additional contractual, technical or organizational measures.

Is BotNira GDPR compliant?

BotNira maintains GDPR-related compliance and privacy documentation and has implemented security and privacy controls relevant to protecting personal information.
