1. Introduction
This Privacy Notice is intended to describe Voysys’s practices where Voysys acts as a controller of personal data. Where Voysys processes personal data on behalf of an enterprise customer, Voysys generally acts as a processor, and the customer is responsible for determining the purposes and means of that processing.
2. Our roles
Voysys may act in different roles depending on the context:
- Controller: We act as a controller when we process personal data for our own business purposes, including account registration, portal administration, authentication, billing, licensing, customer communications, support, security, diagnostics, website operations, and business administration.
- Processor: We act as a processor when we process personal data on behalf of an enterprise customer in connection with that customer’s use of our teleoperation, relay, or related services. In those cases, we process personal data according to the customer’s instructions and the applicable customer agreement or data processing agreement.
3. Personal data we collect
We may collect the following categories of personal data, depending on how you interact with Voysys and our services.
- Account and contact information: such as your name, email address, company name, role or job title, phone number, login credentials, account settings, and other information you provide when creating or managing an account.
- Authentication information: such as information processed through Google Sign-In or other identity providers, including your name, email address, account identifier, hosted domain, email verification status, and related authentication information.
- Company and billing information: such as company name, business contact details, billing and delivery addresses, VAT or tax identifiers, payment terms, invoice history, and related account administration information. For Voysys Free users, we may not collect billing or payment information unless the user converts to a paid offering or otherwise provides that information.
- Service configuration information: such as vehicle, camera, operator station, layout, label, or other configuration information that you provide through the services.
- Licensing and device information: such as license keys or hashes, disk IDs, device identifiers, hardware information, hostnames, license status, license validity period, and related activation information.
- Connection and session metadata: such as IP addresses, display names, access groups, gateway IDs, operator IDs, vehicle IDs, connection IDs, public keys, relay IDs, timestamps, session status, and related technical metadata used to authenticate, route, secure, and troubleshoot connections.
- Diagnostics, crash, and performance information: such as application metadata, crash reports, error reports, performance metrics, technical logs, device information, license identifiers, and related information used to detect, diagnose, secure, and improve the services.
- Website and cookie information: such as information collected through cookies or similar technologies that are necessary to operate our websites, portal, and services. If we use analytics, advertising, or other non-essential tracking technologies, we will provide additional notice and choices where required.
- Communications and support information: such as information you provide when contacting us, requesting support, responding to surveys, participating in sales discussions, or otherwise communicating with Voysys.
- Customer-controlled data: where enterprise customers use our services to transmit, route, or process their own data, Voysys may process that data on behalf of the customer and in accordance with the customer’s instructions. Where individuals or organizations use Voysys Free outside an enterprise customer agreement, they are responsible for the data, content, video, telemetry, information, and materials they submit, transmit, stream, upload, or otherwise make available through Voysys Free. Voysys does not record or store video content transmitted through Bifrost as part of its relay functionality.
4. How we use personal data
We use personal data for the following purposes:
- Account and access management: to create accounts, authenticate users, manage logins, administer access rights, and maintain account settings.
- Service delivery and operation: to provide, operate, maintain, and support the Voysys portal, Bifrost, licensing tools, software, and related services.
- Connection routing and session management: to authenticate operators, vehicles, devices, and sessions, route connections, maintain service availability, and troubleshoot connection issues.
- Licensing and activation: to issue, validate, manage, and support software licenses and activations.
- Billing and customer administration: to manage customers, process invoices, administer billing records, maintain account records, and comply with tax and accounting requirements.

To administer Voysys Free account and trials, notify users about trial expiration, evaluation extension requests, enforce license limits, and communicate about paid offerings or related Voysys products and services.
- Diagnostics, reliability, and improvement: to detect, diagnose, and resolve crashes, errors, performance issues, and service reliability issues, and to maintain, analyze, improve, and develop our services.
- Security and misuse prevention: to protect accounts, systems, software, customers, and services against unauthorized access, misuse, abuse, fraud, and security incidents.
- Legal and compliance purposes: to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, tax, accounting, and recordkeeping obligations, and to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

These measures may include access controls, authentication controls, encryption where appropriate, customer-level access restrictions, logging, and contractual and technical safeguards with service providers.
Access to certain customer and portal data is limited by account roles and customer scoping. Non-admin portal users are limited to data associated with their customer account. Certain authorized administrator users may access data across customer accounts for administration, support, security, and operational purposes.
