Alvoru is built for small and medium-sized businesses. Whether you run a webshop, a restaurant, a hair salon or a legal practice — any business owner who wants to improve customer service without extra staff benefits from Alvoru.
Technical details
The plugin loads the chat widget script over a secure HTTPS connection from alvoru.com. Your Client ID is passed as a data attribute. The plugin itself does not set any cookies. The chat widget communicates with the Alvoru servers to process messages.
Privacy
When a visitor uses the chatbot, the messages are processed by the Alvoru servers and by the Anthropic API (Claude AI). See the Alvoru privacy policy: https://alvoru.com/privacy
External Services
This plugin relies on an external service: Alvoru (https://alvoru.com).
What is loaded?
On every page view on your website, the plugin loads the following JavaScript file:
https://alvoru.com/chat-widget.js
This file contains the chat widget that is shown to your visitors. When this script is loaded, a connection is made to the Alvoru servers.
When is the connection made?
Only when you have set a valid Client ID in the plugin settings. Without a Client ID, nothing is loaded.
Which data is shared?
- Your Client ID (as a data attribute on the script tag)
- The IP address and browser details of your website visitors (through loading the script)
- Messages that visitors type into the chat widget
Third-party processing:
The chat messages are processed by the Anthropic API (Claude AI). See the Anthropic privacy policy: https://www.anthropic.com/privacy
