Addressing BMC Helix Chatbot data privacy requests

The GDPR is a set of rules and principles governing the handling of personal data of individuals located in the European Union (EU).

Note

This BMC document provides general information about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and GDPR key requirements. It is not intended to provide any legal advice. The GDPR can be found at European Union Data protection . Under this new Regulation, any organization handling personal data of European Union residents, regardless of its location, needs to understand which GDPR requirements apply to its organization and accordingly devise a plan for adjusting its systems and processes and for educating its people. Although BMC is not in the business of data privacy compliance software, some of the features of the BMC Helix Chatbot product can help customers meet some requirements of the GDPR. For more information about how BMC solutions can help achieve the requirements of GDPR, see GDPR Compliance .
