Website Chat Assistant

Our website offers a chat assistant operated by Australian Property Experts. It answers questions using our published website content and can, with your input, record your enquiry so we can follow up. When you use the chat: (a) your messages are sent to a specialist third-party artificial-intelligence provider, whose servers are located overseas (primarily in the United States), to generate replies. This is a cross-border disclosure of any personal information you include in a message; (b) we may keep a record of chat conversations to help us improve the service, monitor quality and respond to enquiries; (c) if you choose to share contact details to book a call, your name, contact details and enquiry type are also saved to our client management system and used to contact you about your enquiry; (d) a security cookie is set for the duration of your conversation to protect the chat from abuse. Please do not share sensitive information (such as health or financial hardship details) in the chat. For anything personal, book a call instead. You can ask us to access, correct or delete any details collected through the chat using the contact details below, or make a complaint. Chat records are retained for no longer than 24 months. Our AI provider also processes messages under its own data-retention policy before deletion.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
