WhatsApp AI Agents rules for Edinburgh businesses
UK GDPR applies to any personal data used by AI systems, and the ICO publishes guidance on AI and data protection. If you also serve customers in the EU, the EU AI Act's transparency rules, in force from August 2026, may apply too.
What's different about WhatsApp AI agents in Edinburgh
WhatsApp is widely used in the UK, and marketing messages need consent under PECR, with personal data handled under UK GDPR.
Being honest about the limits
WhatsApp agents work best for frequent questions about prices, availability, bookings and orders. They're a poor fit for sensitive conversations or complex negotiations, which go straight to your team.
