Terms of use

1. Provider and scope

These terms apply to priviot.com, the redirect through priviot.de, software applications supplied by Priviot, and optional account and online services, unless overriding supplementary terms apply to a service.

The provider is:

Tom Schönefeld
c/o Block Services
Stuttgarter Str. 106
70736 Fellbach
Germany
Email: contact@priviot.com
Phone: 0156 79814609

Priviot is the project and product name used by the provider.

2. Website, applications, and product status

The website provides information, downloads, release notes, contact and support options, access to a Priviot account, and expressly identified online services.

The functions, supported systems, and technical requirements actually offered are described on the relevant product page and in the official changelog. Features marked planned, in development, preview, or prepared are not part of an existing service.

Priviot PDF, Priviot Write, Priviot Paste, and Priviot Notes can be used independently. Further applications and functions may be added over time.

3. Local functions and user content

Material core functions run locally on the device and do not require a Priviot account. Opening an application alone does not send documents, text, snippets, notes, or other user content to Priviot.

Network transfers occur only where an expressly identified online function technically requires them and is used, such as sign-in, sync, collaboration, support, update checks, voluntary telemetry, or a deliberately selected external AI API.

Rights in user content remain with the user or the respective rights holder.

4. Priviot account, profile, and device sessions

Some optional functions require a Priviot account. No account is required for local core functions expressly offered without one.

Users must protect credentials and recovery information, report apparent misuse, and keep account information accurate. Profile details, language, avatar, connected browser and application sessions, and supported application preferences can be managed through the account area.

Signing out a browser or device ends the relevant connection where technically possible. It does not automatically delete files stored locally on that device.

5. Sync, sharing, and collaboration

Supported sync in Priviot PDF, Write, Paste, and Notes can be used with a signed-in account and configured per supported service. Private sync content and attachments are encrypted client-side before transfer. Operational metadata, including account, device, product, object, revision, deletion, time, and size data, remains available to the service.

Sharing and collaboration may additionally process rooms, roles, invitations, members, devices, changes, and timestamps. Encryption of content does not hide all organisational metadata.

Users who share content or invite others must be authorised to do so and must not submit unlawful or unnecessary personal data. Access and invitations should be reviewed and revoked when no longer needed.

6. Organisations and invitations

Where offered, account holders can create organisations, invite people, and assign roles or permissions. Invitations may only be sent where contacting the recipient for that purpose is lawful.

Organisation owners and authorised administrators are responsible for membership, assigned roles, the lawful handling of shared content, and removal of people who no longer require access. Certain profile and membership details may be visible within the organisation.

7. Priviot AI, third-party local models, and external AI APIs

Priviot AI may use curated local Priviot models. If compatible third-party local models can be used, they have not necessarily been adapted, reviewed, or approved for quality by Priviot. Their licence, suitability, hardware requirements, output, and risks depend on the model.

External AI APIs, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, are used only when the user deliberately configures and selects a provider. Prompts, context, and document excerpts required for the request are then sent directly to that provider. There is no automatic switch from a local model to an external API.

External providers have their own terms, prices, privacy rules, and restrictions. Before sending content, users must ensure that they may disclose it, especially personal, confidential, or third-party content. AI output can be incomplete or wrong and must be reviewed before use.

8. Voluntary telemetry

If an application offers voluntary telemetry, it is disabled by default and sent only after explicit activation. Telemetry supports technical error analysis, compatibility review, and product improvement; it is not an advertising or profiling service.

Disabling telemetry stops future transfers. Events already submitted lawfully are deleted under the periods stated in the privacy policy.

9. Support, tickets, notifications, and feedback

Requests may be submitted through the designated website and email channels. Transactional email may be sent for account-related events, including tickets, sync, account deletion, and organisation invitations.

Free support does not create a right to a particular response time or implementation of a suggestion. Voluntary feedback, bug reports, and suggestions may be used to review, fix, and improve Priviot. This does not transfer rights in user content.

Confidential documents, third-party personal data, or special-category data should be sent only where necessary and lawful.

10. Permitted use

Users must not use Priviot unlawfully, submit unlawful content, bypass technical safeguards, gain unauthorised access, misrepresent modified software as official, falsely imply an official affiliation, or abuse invitation, support, sharing, telemetry, or sync functions. Mandatory statutory rights, including interoperability rights, remain unaffected.

11. Priviot rights and open-source components

Rights in the Priviot brand, official logos, website content, designs, and proprietary components remain with their respective owners. Use does not transfer further rights.

Priviot software may contain open-source components. Their applicable licences prevail for those components where they grant different rights.

12. Free and paid services

Priviot may offer free services. A paid contract arises only through a checkout clearly identified as paid. The service description, price, and any supplementary store or distribution terms shown before conclusion apply.

These terms neither create a paid offer nor guarantee that a particular feature will remain free indefinitely. Existing contractual and mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

13. Updates, changes, and availability

Software releases may contain fixes, security updates, improvements, or new functions. Priviot may change or stop the public supply of future versions, downloads, and free online services for technical, security, legal, or economic reasons.

Promised services, mandatory update, warranty, consumer rights, and statutory information duties remain unaffected.

14. Backups and review of results

Users should keep backups appropriate to the value of important files. Autosave, recovery, local backups, or sync do not replace an independent backup process.

Outputs from spelling, grammar, clarity, conversion, OCR, form, signature, AI, and other assistance functions must be reviewed before use. Priviot does not provide legal, tax, medical, financial, or other professional advice.

15. Privacy and external services

The privacy policy explains personal-data processing. External websites, app stores, model providers, and API services also remain subject to their operators' responsibility and terms. A link or integration does not adopt or endorse external content.

16. Liability

Priviot remains fully liable for intent, gross negligence, and injury to life, body, or health. Liability for ordinary negligence applies to the extent permitted by law, in particular for material contractual duties, and is then limited to foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

Mandatory statutory claims, including product-liability and consumer rights, remain unaffected.

17. Changes to these terms

A new version may govern future use or newly concluded contracts. Changes to existing contractual relationships require an objective reason, suitable notice, and consent, objection, or termination options where required by law. Mandatory rights remain unaffected.

18. Governing law

German law applies. Mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country in which a consumer has their habitual residence remain unaffected.
