Monitor Zendesk compliance pages
Customer service platform — ticketing, messaging, help center, voice, and Zendesk AI (powered by OpenAI) for support operations at scale.
Zendesk publishes several compliance and legal pages that change over time. Under GDPR Article 28, data controllers using Zendesk as a processor must continuously verify that "sufficient guarantees" remain in place — which means tracking changes to these pages as they happen. Below are the 4 most relevant pages, what typically changes on each, and ready-to-paste monitoring prompts.
