What the MarketAgent stores — and how to delete it.
An honest explanation, no legal jargon. For the full Lectame GDPR text, see /privacy.
What we collect
- Anonymous visitor ID: a random cookie (
lectame_guest_id) or a hashed version of your IP address. It contains no personal information. - Conversation content: the messages you type to the agent and the answers you receive. Used to improve the agent and to add common questions to our knowledge base.
- Page context: which Lectame page you came from (e.g.
/voor-docenten) — only the path, no tracking outside lectame.com. - Visitor type: only if you indicated it yourself (teacher, trainer, etc.). No auto-detection.
- Email: only if you actively enter it after 4+ questions. Same for newsletter sign-up (a separate checkbox).
- User agent: a short string from your browser — handy to see which device you have conversations on.
We never store your raw IP address. Only a hashed version so we can detect abuse.
Cookies & tracking
The agent sets one first-party cookie (lectame_guest_id) so we can recognize your conversation across pages. We also store your conversation locally in localStorage so you can pick up where you left off — that stays on your own device.
No Google Analytics integration, no Facebook pixel, no external trackers in this agent.
How long we keep it
- Conversations: indefinitely without action from you — until you delete it yourself or request removal. We set no automatic expiry date, because we use older conversations for knowledge base extraction.
- localStorage: 7 days, then auto-cleared on your own device.
- Cookie: 30 days or until you delete it yourself.
If you left an email address
We link your email to that one conversation so we can send you a summary. After that we do not automatically add you to a newsletter — unless you checked that separately. In that case you'll still receive a verification email to confirm double opt-in (Lectame standard; feel free to ignore it).
Want to delete your email but keep the conversation? Email us via /contact.
