We comply with the data controller’s obligations outlined in the applicable laws.
  • Data processor: We act in the capacity of a data processor in situations when you submit files or generate data for processing through one or more of our products (“Your Data”) and Your Data contains other individuals’ personal data. We do not own, control, or make decisions about Your Data. We process Your Data only in accordance with the instructions issued by a respective data controller. To ensure that Your Data is processed in accordance with the strictest data protection standards, we have drafted and offer for conclusion a data processing agreement (the “DPA”) that you can receive by contacting us.

We use the said information to contact you, provide you with the requested demo, set up a contract with you, and maintain our business records. The legal bases on which we rely are ‘performing a contract with you,’ ‘pursuing our legitimate business interests’ (operate, analyze, grow, and administer Pivotal Accessibility), and ‘your consent’ (for optional personal data).

Sensitive data is information that relates to your health, genetics, biometrics, religious and political beliefs, racial origins, membership of a professional or trade association, sex life, or sexual orientation. If you decide, at your sole discretion, to include the said sensitive data in Your Data, we will process such data for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations.
