Channels and Availability

How do I contact the Support Team?

• If the prompt reads "Contact us" and asks for your email address, agents aren't available, and an email ticket will be created instead. 
• Submit your question in the prompt. When providing an initial inquiry, please provide as detailed an explanation as possible. This information allows the support agent to identify and address your questions or challenges more effectively.

Does Privy offer phone support?

Privy does not offer phone support; however, a Support agent may offer to jump on a call if your particular issue warrants it. 

How can I reach each department?

The Billing, Compliance, and Technical teams offer dedicated inboxes and email addresses. If you were provided information and are unsure where your request would be going, the team-specific addresses are as follows: 

Website support policy

Initial install: Installation documentation is available for various platforms, and the Support Team will provide as much guidance as possible to ensure Privy is installed properly. However, the Support Team will not edit your site code directly. Instead, the team will refer you to your website platform's support documentation or channels for specific questions about your site code. 

Website conflicts: Privy regularly invests engineering resources to ensure that Privy runs optimally on your website and does not interfere with common website functions. Please note that conflicts with site styling (CSS) and custom JavaScript (JS) are possible. The Support Team will do its best to help you identify these possible conflicts but will not edit your site code directly. Instead, the team will refer you to check with your website developer for a sustainable resolution. 

Integrated vendor policy

Privy integrates with many different platforms and services. The platforms that integrate with Privy typically provide their own support documentation that can be referenced should an issue arise. Privy will offer support around those integrations only as they relate to Privy-specific functionality. 

Additionally, issues resulting from your use of APIs or other code modifications may be outside the scope of support.
