Terms of use

1. Scope

These terms of use apply to the use of the website priviot.com, the redirect via priviot.de, and the use of Priviot PDF, Priviot Write, and Priviot Paste version 1.0.0, unless otherwise agreed.

Priviot is an independent software project by:

Referred to below as "Priviot", "I", or "provider".

2. Subject matter

Priviot develops local software for document editing, writing, and reusable text snippets, as well as additional tools for the Priviot Suite over time.

The first official product generation consists of Priviot PDF, Priviot Write, and Priviot Paste version 1.0.0. Each application remains useful on its own and generally processes document content locally on the respective device.

The website serves to inform about Priviot, provide product information, release notes, contact options, and, where applicable, downloads.

3. Product status and further development

Priviot PDF, Priviot Write, and Priviot Paste are provided as version 1.0.0. Despite careful development, errors may occur. Operation, feature scope, file formats, the interface, and technical implementation may change through later updates.

Feedback and bug reports support the continued development of the applications.

You should create your own backup copies before editing important documents. This applies in particular to contracts, invoices, official documents, business documents, or other important files.

4. Local processing of documents

Priviot PDF and Priviot Write are designed to open and edit documents locally on your device. Priviot Paste stores snippets locally by default.

Document content is not transferred automatically to Priviot servers. Optional Paste sync is only used after sign-in and deliberate activation; snippets are encrypted on the client before transfer.

If you voluntarily send files, screenshots, error messages, or document excerpts to support@priviot.com, this content will only be used to process your request.

Do not send confidential documents, third-party personal data, or sensitive content unless this is necessary to process your request.

5. Use of the software

You may install and use Priviot PDF, Priviot Write, and Priviot Paste within the scope of these terms of use.

The following is not permitted:

• use for unlawful purposes
• circumventing technical protection measures
• removing copyright, trademark, or attribution notices
• distributing modified versions as an official Priviot version
• using the Priviot brand in a way that implies an official affiliation
• uploading, sending, or processing unlawful content via contact or support channels

Unless expressly permitted, you receive no right to sell, rent out, sublicense, or pass off official Priviot software as your own product.

6. Availability and changes

Priviot is a project in development. There is no entitlement to the website, downloads, applications, or specific features remaining permanently available.

Priviot may change, remove, or add features, or discontinue an application, if this is necessary for technical, legal, security, or product-strategic reasons.

7. Support and feedback

Support and feedback requests can be sent to support@priviot.com.

There is no entitlement to a particular response time or to the implementation of specific suggestions.

If you send feedback, suggestions, or bug reports, Priviot may use this information to improve the software. Rights to your document content remain unaffected.

8. Free use and future paid features

Priviot PDF, Priviot Write, and Priviot Paste may be provided with a free core feature set.

Priviot aims to keep essential document features fairly accessible. Advanced features, professional workflows, optional AI, Priviot Drive, cloud, or enterprise features may be offered for a fee in the future.

Paid services will only be provided on the basis of separate terms. These terms of use do not establish any entitlement to specific features remaining free of charge permanently.

9. No legal, tax, or professional advice

The Priviot Suite applications are tools for document and text processing. They do not replace legal, tax, medical, financial, or other professional advice.

You are responsible for reviewing content, documents, forms, contracts, and changes before use.

10. Data backup

You are responsible for creating backup copies of your files.

Although the Priviot applications may include features such as saving, automatic recovery, or local backups, errors, corrupted files, or data loss cannot be ruled out.

Only edit important documents with a backup copy made beforehand.

11. Rights to Priviot

All rights to the website, the Priviot brand, logos, designs, texts, software components, and other content remain with the respective rights holder.

Use of the software does not transfer any ownership rights to Priviot, the brand, or the source code.

12. Liability

Priviot is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, as well as for injury to life, body, or health.

In the case of simple negligence, Priviot is only liable for breach of material contractual obligations. Material contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is essential for the proper performance of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance users may regularly rely. In this case, liability is limited to foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

Liability under mandatory statutory provisions remains unaffected.

For damage caused by missing backup copies, improper use, altered files, unsuitable system environments, or use of the software without prior review, Priviot is only liable within the scope of statutory provisions.

13. Links to external websites

The website may contain links to external websites. The respective provider is responsible for their content.

Priviot has no influence on external content and accepts no liability for it.

14. Privacy

Priviot follows the approach of processing as little personal data as possible and avoiding analytics or marketing tracking.

15. Changes to these terms of use

These terms of use may be adjusted if Priviot's feature scope, legal requirements, or technical processes change.
