Recursive Labs designs its web chat and engagement tools to align with WCAG 2.1AA standards, ensuring digital inclusion for users with various disabilities.
What users can do:
Keyboard Navigation: Users can navigate the entire chat interface using only a keyboard. This includes opening the chat widget, tabbing through message history, and submitting text without a mouse.
Screen Reader Support: The platform utilizes ARIA labels and roles, allowing screen readers (like JAWS or NVDA) to announce incoming messages and describe interactive elements.
Visual Adaptability: The interface supports high-contrast modes and browser-based zooming. It is designed to remain functional and legible even when text is resized significantly.
Focus Management: When the chat is activated, the focus is logically moved into the chat window to prevent "keyboard traps." - Onsite support
- Yes, at extra cost
- Support levels
-
Recursive Labs offers tiered support structures designed to meet the needs of different organisational scales:
Support Levels:
Standard Support: Included with all subscriptions. This covers access to the online knowledge base, documentation, and email-based ticketing during standard business hours.
Enterprise Support: Designed for mission-critical deployments. It features accelerated Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for faster response times, 24/7 emergency support for high-priority issues, and priority routing in the technical queue.
Cost: Standard support is bundled into the base licensing fee. Enterprise support pricing is not publicly disclosed as it is customised based on the organisation’s seat count and specific requirements. Generally, it is billed as a percentage of the total contract or a flat annual service fee.
Technical Account Manager / Support Engineer: Recursive Labs provides a Dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM) for Enterprise-level clients. This role functions similarly to a Technical Account Manager, overseeing technical onboarding, workflow optimization, and proactive account health. While they do not use the specific title "Cloud Support Engineer," Enterprise tiers grant direct access to senior technical specialists for complex API integrations and architectural guidance. - Support available to third parties

Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
Recursive Labs helps users start using their service through a combination of digital resources and personalised support, prioritising ease of use to minimise the need for extensive training.
User Documentation: The company provides an extensive Knowledge Hub that includes help articles, how-to guides, whitepapers, and PDF resources. This repository serves as a primary self-service tool for both new and existing users.
Online Training: Users can access overview videos and webinars via the Knowledge Hub to learn about visual engagement tools like cobrowsing and video chat. Additionally, their "Record" feature allows sessions to be archived for ongoing agent training and compliance.
Onboarding Assistance: While not explicitly advertising traditional onsite training, Recursive Labs provides onboarding assistance through its sales and technical teams. They assist with account creation and system integration (e.g., Salesforce, Zendesk), claiming that implementation is fast and can be operational within hours.
Minimal Training Design: A core part of their strategy is an "API First" and "download-free" design, which aims for minimal to zero training by allowing agents to operate within their existing CRM workflows.
Their approach focuses on digital accessibility and rapid deployment rather than intensive in-person sessions. - Service documentation

- End-of-contract data extraction
-
Customers retain full ownership of their data. To extract data when a contract ends, users typically follow these steps:
Self-Service Export: Users can export interaction logs, audit trails, and metadata directly through the administrative dashboard or by utilising the Recursive Labs API while the account is still active.
Manual Requests: Customers can request a full data dump by contacting their account manager or support team. Data is generally provided in industry-standard formats, such as JSON or CSV, to ensure portability.
Retention Period: Upon contract termination, there is usually a grace period (typically 30 to 90 days, depending on the specific Service Agreement) during which the data remains available for retrieval.
Final Deletion: Once the transition period expires, Recursive Labs initiates a secure deletion process. All customer data is purged from production servers and backups to comply with privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
It is recommended that users complete all necessary exports prior to the final termination date to ensure no loss of session history or recordings. - End-of-contract process
-
At the end of a Recursive Labs contract, the agreement typically automatically renews for one year unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the term's end. Upon termination or expiration, Recursive Labs ceases all services, and the client must immediately stop using the platform. Both parties are required to promptly destroy all data, reports, and electronic materials related to the other. The client remains responsible for paying any final undisputed fees for services rendered up to the termination date.

- API
- Yes
- What users can and can't do using the API
-
Recursive Labs provides a JavaScript-based API and server-side REST APIs to integrate visual engagement tools like co-browsing and video chat.
Setup: Users set up the service by embedding a specific JavaScript snippet into their web application. Through the API, developers initialise the service with unique API keys and configure session parameters. Server-side APIs are used to generate secure authentication tokens, ensuring that sessions are correctly mapped to specific users and accounts.
Changes: Users can make dynamic changes during active sessions via API calls. This includes triggering screen sharing, initiating recordings, or updating session metadata in real-time. Developers can also use the API to programmatically mask sensitive data fields or toggle UI components based on user behaviour or agent requirements.
Limitations: The API is primarily focused on session execution and integration. Users cannot perform high-level administrative tasks through the API, such as managing billing, creating new administrative accounts, or altering global security protocols; these require the web dashboard. Additionally, while the API allows for some visual customisation, it does not permit fundamental changes to the core co-browsing engine or the underlying data transmission architecture. - API documentation

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
Recursive Labs typically guarantees a 99.9% monthly uptime for its core visual engagement services. This availability commitment excludes downtime resulting from scheduled maintenance, customer-side internet issues, or Force Majeure events.
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and Credits: If Recursive Labs fails to meet the 99.9% uptime threshold, customers are eligible for Service Credits applied to their account. These credits are generally tiered based on the severity of the outage. While specific enterprise contracts may vary, a standard structure often includes:
< 99.9% Uptime: 10% credit of the monthly fee.
< 99.0% Uptime: 25% credit of the monthly fee.
< 95.0% Uptime: 50% to 100% credit.
Refund Policy: Recursive Labs does not offer direct cash refunds for failing to meet availability targets. Service Credits are the "sole and exclusive remedy" for downtime and are applied toward future billing cycles. To claim a credit, users must usually submit a written request to the support team within 30 days of the service interruption. These terms are typically governed by the specific Master Service Agreement (MSA) signed by the client. - Approach to resilience
- Available on request
- Outage reporting
-
Recursive Labs primarily reports service outages and maintenance through email alerts. According to their official technical documentation and G-Cloud service listings:
Email Alerts: This is the standard method for outage reporting. Users can receive notifications regarding system status, planned maintenance, and service incidents directly via email.
Public Dashboard: There is no publicly accessible real-time health dashboard (such as a Statuspage.io site) mentioned in their support documentation or enterprise service agreements. Monitoring is typically handled internally and communicated to affected customers.
API: While Recursive Labs provides an Open API for platform integration (allowing customers to build custom connectors for CRM and CCaaS systems), they do not offer a dedicated Status or Health API for public monitoring of service uptime.
The platform emphasises a "99.99% uptime" goal and utilises AWS infrastructure for resilience. For specific emergency support outside of standard business hours (Mon–Fri, 9 am – 5 pm Central), they maintain a designated contact number for contract-holding enterprise clients.

Policies & Processes:
Privacy-First Architecture: Sensitive data is masked at the DOM level (source) before leaving the client’s browser.
Encryption: Use of AES-256 encryption for data in transit and at rest.
SDLC: Security is integrated into the development lifecycle via automated vulnerability scanning and peer code reviews.
Reporting Structure: Security governance is led by the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), who reports directly to the CEO. This ensures security initiatives have executive-level oversight and are integrated into the core business strategy.
Ensuring Compliance:
Independent Audits: Annual third-party SOC 2 Type II audits verify the effectiveness of internal controls.
Access Control: Strict adherence to the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) and mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all systems.
Monitoring: Continuous automated monitoring of infrastructure and access logs.
Training: Mandatory annual security awareness training for all employees to mitigate human-centric risks. - Software Security Code of Practice

Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Configuration and change management approach
-
Recursive Labs employs a formal Change Management Policy to track service components throughout their lifecycle via automated inventory and version control systems. Every modification undergoes a documented workflow, including peer review and staging validation.
To mitigate security risks, all changes are assessed for potential impact through automated vulnerability scanning and security team reviews integrated into the CI/CD pipeline. Aligned with SOC 2 Type 2 standards, this process ensures that every update is authorised, tested, and monitored. This structured approach guarantees that configuration integrity is maintained and that security remains a core consideration during all updates and deployments. - Vulnerability management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- Recursive Labs maintains a rigorous vulnerability management process aligned with SOC 2 Type 2 standards. They assess threats through continuous automated scanning and annual third-party penetration testing, prioritising risks using CVSS scores. Patching timelines are risk-based; critical vulnerabilities are typically addressed within 24 to 48 hours, while lower-risk issues follow standard maintenance cycles. Threat intelligence is sourced from CVE databases, vendor security advisories (e.g., AWS), and automated monitoring alerts. This proactive framework ensures rapid identification and remediation of potential exploits across their visual engagement services.
- Protective monitoring type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
-
Recursive Labs identifies potential compromises through centralised logging and frequent automated and manual analysis of security-relevant events, adhering to NIST-CSF functions. Their patented image-based technology minimises attack surfaces by processing images rather than sensitive DOM data.
When a compromise is identified, they follow a multi-phased incident management process (Activation, Recovery, and Reconstitution) and utilise built-in redaction to ensure sensitive data remains on the consumer's device. Response is supported by 24/7 emergency after-hours contact. For critical incidents, they provide rapid responsiveness to ensure timely containment and resolution, aligned with their enterprise-grade compliance standards. - Incident management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
