Furthermore, we have partnered with Merge to securely handle all integrations to your ticketing system. Merge is a trusted integration provider used by companies like Gong and Drata. Merge holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA certifications. Merge is also compliant with GDPR and CCPA.

Security Measures
Customer data
Parahelp does not store any personal information.
When processing tickets and associated ticket comments from your ticketing system vendor (e.g., Intercom, Zendesk), we may process personal information if present and applicable in ticket comments. Since Parahelp is not fully SOC 2 Type II verified yet, we have partnered with Merge to handle all ticketing-related data. Merge holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA certifications. Merge is also compliant with GDPR and CCPA. Parahelp only temporarily processes ticket comments from Merge when analyzing and generating AI responses. Parahelp does not store any ticket comments in our databases.
