TG-Staff Compliance FAQ Center: Complete Guide to Telegram Bot Customer Service Data, Marketing Risk Control, and Disclaimers

After integrating a Telegram Bot, cross-border customer service teams, Web3 projects, and overseas marketing teams often quickly face a thorny issue: How to ensure user data privacy, marketing tracking, and agent operations comply with regulatory requirements? Whether it’s GDPR, CCPA, or China’s Personal Information Protection Law, compliance is no longer a “bonus” but the baseline for sustainable business operations. As a customer service and operations SaaS platform for Telegram Bots, TG-Staff features built-in diversion link tracking, content risk control, and audit logs. This FAQ center aims to provide you with a practical compliance operation guide covering data security, marketing risk control, and disclaimers, helping your team maximize operational efficiency within a secure framework.

Data Privacy and Security: How TG-Staff Handles User and Agent Data?

Data security is the most critical compliance starting point for teams. The following explains data storage, transmission, access permissions, and deletion policies.

Where is user chat data stored? Is it encrypted?

TG-Staff uses cloud servers to store chat records of users and agents. Data transmission is fully encrypted via HTTPS/TLS, ensuring messages are not eavesdropped or tampered with during transit. At the storage level, data is encrypted and saved in the cloud database.

Regarding data retention policies:

• Active deletion: You can delete specific projects or all data at any time from the control panel. TG-Staff does not retain backup copies.
• Trial period data: All data during the free trial (3 days) is retained normally. If the trial expires without renewal, the account will be frozen, and data will be retained for 30 days; if not renewed after that, it may be permanently deleted. It is recommended to export important data (e.g., via Bot message records) during the trial period.

How are agent accounts and permissions managed? Can data access be restricted?

TG-Staff supports independent agent accounts logging into the web portal to serve Telegram users. Permission management is implemented at two levels:

1. Project-level permissions: In the control panel, you can configure which agents have access to each project. For example, if you grant “Agent A” access only to Project A, then Agent A, upon login, can only see conversations from Project A and cannot access user data from other projects.
2. Operation scope control: The Professional edition offers content risk control (internal management), which can detect risky words before an agent sends a message. If triggered, a pop-up will require secondary confirmation or block the message. This effectively limits the agent’s “output permissions,” preventing sensitive information leakage.

How can users request deletion of their personal data?

Under regulations like GDPR and CCPA, users have the right to request deletion of their personal data. TG-Staff provides two methods for teams to handle this:

1. Submit request via customer service Bot: Users can contact @tgstaff_robot to explain their deletion needs, and the platform will guide you (the team administrator) to perform the deletion in the console.
2. Direct operation in the console: Log in to the console, go to the corresponding project → User Management, and delete the session records and profile data of the specified user.

Note: TG-Staff does not provide legal advice. If a user requests data deletion, it is recommended that the team establish a standard operating procedure (SOP) internally and, if necessary, consult a lawyer to confirm compliance with local regulations regarding the “right to deletion.”

Marketing Compliance: Are diversion links and user tracking legal?

Diversion links (magic links) are a feature available in TG-Staff Standard and above plans, used for ad attribution and multi-channel tracking. However, their compliance under GDPR/CCPA requires careful evaluation.

What visitor information do diversion links collect? Can it be turned off?

When a user clicks a diversion link (e.g., https://app.tg-staff.com/{code}) and before being redirected to the Telegram Bot, TG-Staff temporarily captures the following information:

• IP address (for source channel attribution)
• Browser information (User-Agent)
• URL parameters (such as utm_source, utm_campaign, and other custom tracking parameters)

Can it be turned off?

• This feature is enabled by default (Standard and above plans). If you do not use diversion links for ad attribution, you can avoid generating or using such links in ads to prevent data collection.
• For already generated diversion links, you can delete the corresponding link item in the console, and the captured data will also be cleared.

Do I need user consent to use diversion links for ad attribution?

Recommended action: Clearly disclose the purpose of data collection on the landing page or in the Bot’s welcome message, and provide an opt-out option.

Examples:

1. Pop-up disclosure: Before redirecting to the Telegram Bot, display a pop-up: “This link collects your IP and browser information for ad performance analysis. Click ‘Continue’ to agree.” Users can choose “Continue” or “Leave.”
2. Bot welcome message: Embed in the Bot’s auto-reply welcome message: “We use diversion links to track ad sources. To opt out of tracking, reply ‘Opt out.’”

Regulatory background:

• GDPR: Requires data collection to be based on a lawful basis (e.g., consent or legitimate interest). If used solely for internal attribution without personal profiling, you may claim “legitimate interest,” but best practice is to obtain explicit consent.
• CCPA: Users have the right to “opt out” of the sale of personal information. TG-Staff does not sell diversion link data to third parties, but it is recommended that teams explain data usage in their privacy policy and provide an opt-out mechanism.

Content Moderation and Internal Control: How to Prevent Agents from Sending Sensitive Information?

The professional version’s internal control management is the core of compliance and internal control. It helps teams achieve “prevention before the fact + audit after the fact” at the agent operation level through risk word detection, wallet address monitoring, and audit logs.

Functional Combination Use Cases:

Scenario	Configuration Method	Effect
Agent mistakenly sends a payment address (e.g., Web3 project)	Add the target wallet address (TRC20/ERC20 fragment) to the risk word group	When an agent sends a message containing the keyword, a pop-up prompts secondary confirmation or blocks sending
Agent uses prohibited words (e.g., racial discrimination, politically sensitive words)	Configure custom risk word groups and associate them with the corresponding project	When an agent sends a message that hits a risk word, the message is blocked and an audit log is recorded
Agent leaks internal information (e.g., project prices, unannounced announcements)	Add internal terms to the risk word group	The agent receives a warning before sending, effectively reducing the risk of information leakage

Audit Logs: The professional version records each risk word trigger event—including agent name, session ID, trigger time, and specific message content. Administrators can periodically review and promptly handle abnormal behavior.

Disclaimer and Liability Boundary: Is TG-Staff Not Responsible for User Behavior?

This is a core legal question: Is the SaaS tool provider responsible for the violations of its users (team agents)?

TG-Staff’s terms of service clearly state that the platform only provides technical tools and risk control configuration capabilities. The responsibility for agent behavior lies with the team itself. For example:

• If an agent intentionally sends prohibited content (e.g., scam information), TG-Staff does not assume legal liability.
• If a team fails to enable content moderation or misconfigures it, resulting in data leakage, TG-Staff does not bear the consequences.

Three Things Teams Should Do:

1. Enable Professional Content Moderation: Configure risk word groups covering common violation scenarios.
2. Regularly Audit Agent Operations: Use audit logs to detect abnormal behavior and intervene promptly.
3. Establish Internal Compliance Policies: Clearly define agent operating norms and violation consequences, and conduct training.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does TG-Staff have SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification?
A: As of the writing date, TG-Staff’s official website does not disclose specific security certifications. We recommend contacting customer service @tgstaff_robot before deployment for the latest security white paper or compliance documentation.

Q: Will data be retained during the free trial? What happens after the trial ends?
A: All data during the free trial (3 days) is normally retained. After the trial expires without renewal, the account will be frozen, and data will be retained for 30 days; if not renewed beyond that period, data may be permanently deleted. We recommend exporting important data during the trial.

Q: Can the professional content moderation block agents from sending encrypted wallet addresses?
A: Yes. Configure the target wallet address (e.g., TRC20/ERC20 address fragment) in the risk word group. When an agent sends a message containing the keyword, a secondary confirmation or block will be triggered. Suitable for compliance control in Web3, exchanges, and other scenarios.

Q: Will visitor IP data collected through diversion links be used for other purposes?
A: No. TG-Staff only temporarily captures IP and browser information in the diversion link scenario for ad attribution analysis (e.g., source channel). Users can delete project data in the console. TG-Staff does not sell or share this data with third parties.

Q: If an agent sends sensitive information illegally, will TG-Staff bear legal responsibility?
A: No. TG-Staff only provides technical tools and risk control configuration capabilities. The responsibility for agent behavior lies with the team itself. We recommend that teams enable professional content moderation, regularly audit logs, and establish internal compliance policies.
