Introduction

Petual is an AI-driven automation product that streamlines control testing: automating evidence collection, test performance, and documentation.

We understand that you are aware of and care about your own personal privacy interests, and we take that seriously. This Privacy Notice describes Petual's policies and practices regarding its collection and use of your personal data, and sets forth your privacy rights. We recognize that information privacy is an ongoing responsibility, and so we will from time to time update this Privacy Notice as we undertake new personal data practices or adopt new privacy policies.

Data Protection Officer

Petual is headquartered in San Francisco, CA in the United States. Petual has appointed an internal data protection officer for you to contact if you have any questions or concerns about Petual's personal data policies or practices. If you would like to exercise your privacy rights, please direct your query to Petual's data protection officer:

How we collect and use (process) your personal information

Petual collects information about its website visitors and customers. With a few exceptions, this information is generally limited to:

name
job title
employer name
work address
work email
work phone number

We use this information to provide prospects and customers with services.

We do not sell personal information to anyone and only share it with third parties who are facilitating the delivery of our services.

Additional information provided to Petual in the course of its services can include employee data, operational data, or financial data.

Use of Petual's Website

As is true of most other websites, Petual's website collects certain information automatically and stores it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of Petual's website, including a history of the pages you view. We use this information to help us design our site to better suit our users' needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website, analyze trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences.

Petual has a legitimate interest in understanding how members, customers and potential customers use its website. This assists Petual with providing more relevant products and services, with communicating value to our sponsors and corporate members, and with providing appropriate staffing to meet member and customer needs.

Sharing information with third parties

The personal information Petual collects from you is stored in one or more databases hosted by third parties located in the United States. These third parties do not use or have access to your personal information for any purpose other than cloud storage and retrieval.

A list of our third party sub processors can be retrieved by emailing us at security@petual.ai

We do not otherwise reveal your personal data to non-Petual persons or businesses for their independent use unless: (1) you request or authorize it; (2) the information is provided to comply with the law (for example, compelled by law enforcement to comply with a search warrant, subpoena, or court order), enforce an agreement we have with you, or to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our employees or others; (3) the information is provided to our agents, vendors or service providers who perform functions on our behalf; (4) to address emergencies or acts of God; or (5) to address disputes, claims, or to persons demonstrating legal authority to act on your behalf. We may also gather aggregated data about our services and website visitors and disclose the results of such aggregated (but not personally identifiable) information to our partners, service providers, advertisers, and/or other third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

Transferring personal data to the U.S.

Petual has its headquarters in the United States. Information we collect about you will be processed in the United States. By using Petual's services, you acknowledge that your personal information will be processed in the United States. The United States has not sought nor received a finding of "adequacy" from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR. Pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR, Petual is providing for appropriate safeguards by entering binding, standard data protection clauses, enforceable by data subjects in the EEA and the UK. These clauses have been enhanced based on the guidance of the European Data Protection Board and will be updated when the new draft model clauses are approved.

Data Subject rights

The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other countries' privacy laws provide certain rights for data subjects. Data Subject rights under GDPR include the following:

Right to be informed
Right of access
Right to rectification
Right to erasure
Right to restrict processing
Right of data portability
Right to object
Rights related to automated decision making including profiling

This Privacy Notice is intended to provide you with information about what personal data Petual collects about you and how it is used.

If you wish to confirm that Petual is processing your personal data, or to have access to the personal data Petual may have about you, please contact us.

You may also request information about: the purpose of the processing; the categories of personal data concerned; who else outside Petual might have received the data from Petual; what the source of the information was (if you didn't provide it directly to Petual); and how long it will be stored. You have a right to correct (rectify) the record of your personal data maintained by Petual if it is inaccurate. You may request that Petual erase that data or cease processing it, subject to certain exceptions. You may also request that Petual cease using your data for direct marketing purposes. In many countries, you have a right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate data protection authority if you have concerns about how Petual processes your personal data. When technically feasible, Petual will—at your request—provide your personal data to you.

Reasonable access to your personal data will be provided at no cost. If access cannot be provided within a reasonable time frame, Petual will provide you with a date when the information will be provided. If for some reason access is denied, Petual will provide an explanation as to why access has been denied.

For questions or complaints concerning the processing of your personal data, you can email us at privacy@petual.ai . Alternatively, if you are located in the European Union, you can also have recourse to the European Data Protection Supervisor or with your nation's data protection authority.

Data storage and retention

Your personal data is stored by Petual on its servers, and on the servers of the cloud-based database management services Petual engages, located in the United States. Petual retains service data for the duration of the customer's business relationship with Petual and for a period of time thereafter, to analyze the data for Petual's own operations, and for historical and archiving purposes associated with Petual's services. Petual retains prospect data until such time as it no longer has business value and is purged from Petual systems. All personal data that Petual controls may be deleted upon verified request from Data Subjects or their authorized agents. For more information on where and how long your personal data is stored, and for more information on your rights of erasure and portability, please contact us at: privacy@petual.ai
