AI receptionist GDPR checklist for UK businesses

An AI receptionist handles customer conversations, contact details and operational notes. Buyers should check data handling before rollout.

Check the policy surface

Look for clear privacy, terms and data processing pages. These pages should explain the provider relationship, data handling and buyer responsibilities.

Know what is stored

Ask whether calls create transcripts, summaries, recordings, sentiment labels or follow-up tasks, and where those records are available to your team.

Design human escalation

Sensitive, urgent or uncertain calls should have a route to a person. GDPR-aware operations are about good process as much as software.
