### Remarks

Xenioo **does not enforce specific actions** usage based on selected privacy flag: it is up to your chatbot design to accomodate for specific user preferences.\
\
Privacy preferences are stored in a very specific runtime area that cannot be accessed by your conversation operators or chatbot runtime. Only this action can alter the value of these preferences.

### Trigger

On User Choice. This action will trigger any child operation as soon as the user accepts or refuse your privacy opt-in proposal.
