Communication privacy: frequently asked questions

Which communication tool has the best privacy score?

Intercom currently has the highest privacy score in the Communication category: 86/100 (grade B), based on an automated scan of pre-consent tracking, cookie consent behaviour, security headers, privacy policy, and accessibility.

How private are communication tools on average?

The 46 Communication tools we scanned average 60/100, 1 points below the all-category average of 61/100. 35% fire third-party trackers before user consent.

How are these communication privacy rankings calculated?

Each tool's website is scanned with a headless browser. We measure pre-consent tracking requests, whether a Reject All button exists and works, HTTP security headers, privacy policy quality, CCPA/GPC signals, and WCAG accessibility, weighted into a 0-100 score. Scores are technical assessments, not legal certifications.
