Product 

Data Collection

We only collect website visitor data when a visitor to a Whispli website has given their explicit acceptance in the cookie banner. 

Data Retention

Admin Users can set up your Company's Data Retention policies in your Settings. By doing so, they define the period after which a report is kept after being archived. After expiration of that period, the Report will be completely deleted from our databases and from our backups.

As a consequence, data from Informants can be deleted if they ask you. To do so, you simply need to:

  • Change the status of this Report to "Closed" or "Completed" (or any of your custom status of type "Complete");
  • Archive the Report;
  • Apply a relevant Data Retention Policy you created.

As part of the Audit trail, only relevant excerpts are kept to provide context as to why the report was archived and consequentially deleted. No other information is kept.

Notifications

As a Case Manager on Whispli, you can choose what type of notifications you receive by email, in your Notifications preferences.
