Last Updated: 16th February 2026
This Global Data Residency & Compliance Policy describes how GoVivace Inc. (“GoVivace,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, stores, processes, transfers, and protects your personal data in connection with our services (“Services”), and explains your privacy rights and how the applicable data protection laws (including GDPR) are satisfied through our global and localized infrastructure.

1. Introduction
GoVivace is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring compliance with global and local data protection laws in all regions where we operate. Whether you are accessing our Services from North America, the European Union, India, or elsewhere, this policy outlines your rights and how we meet regional requirements such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection and residency expectations.
2. Data Residency & Sovereign Deployments
While our primary cloud infrastructure is US-based, GoVivace understands that many customers require geographic data control and jurisdictional autonomy for regulatory, compliance, or contractual reasons.
GoVivace supports the following deployment options:
- Our Public Cloud (US-based)
- Private Cloud Deployments hosted by you
- Our Sovereign Regional Server Deployments, including but not limited to:
- India Sovereign Hosting
- EU-Localized Hosting
These options allow your organization to ensure 100% jurisdictional data autonomy and residency in the region where your business or customers operate, helping to meet data sovereignty and legal requirements of local authorities. Data stored in these sovereign deployments remains under the applicable region’s governing laws and is processed only within that jurisdiction unless otherwise agreed in writing.
3. Information We Collect and Use
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide and other technical information (such as IP address, device characteristics, browser type) necessary to deliver, secure, and improve the Services. Personal data is only processed for legitimate business purposes, such as delivering the Services, security, analytics, and compliance with legal obligations.
4. GDPR Compliance & EU Data Protection
GoVivace is committed to meeting the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland. GDPR applies to any entity – including those outside the EU – that processes personal information of EU residents.
Key GDPR Compliance Practices
- Lawfulness, Fairness & Transparency:
We process personal data on lawful bases such as consent, contract necessity, or legitimate interest and provide transparency through this policy. - Purpose Limitation & Minimization:
We collect only data necessary for the purposes outlined and do not use data for unrelated purposes without additional notice and consent. - Data Subject Rights:
You have rights including: access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and objection. Exercise these rights via our contact information below. - Data Security:
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. - International Transfers:
Personal data may be transferred to locations outside the EEA only when appropriate safeguards (such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses or deployment in EU-localized servers) are implemented to ensure equivalent protection rights. - Data Processing Agreements:
In situations where GoVivace acts as a data processor, we enter into GDPR-compliant data processing agreements (DPAs) with our customers detailing obligations and responsibilities.
5. How and Where Your Data is Stored
Data collected through our Services may be stored and processed in multiple locations:
- US Public Cloud Infrastructure — default environment
- Region-Specific Sovereign Deployments — upon contractual agreement
Choosing a sovereign region-specific deployment ensures compliance with local data residency requirements and can simplify adherence to regional regulations such as GDPR, India’s evolving privacy laws, or other jurisdictional mandates.

7. Information Security & ISO 27001 Alignment
GoVivace follows industry-recognized security practices to protect customer data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
Our security controls are aligned with the principles of ISO/IEC 27001, including:
- Access control and authentication mechanisms
- Encryption of data at rest and in transit
- Secure development and change management practices
- Continuous monitoring and incident response procedures
- Role-based access and least-privilege enforcement
These controls are designed to safeguard personal and enterprise data across cloud, private, and sovereign deployment models.
8. Transfer of Information
Due to the global nature of our operations, personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the one in which it was originally collected.
When such transfers occur, GoVivace ensures that:
- Transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable data protection laws
- Appropriate safeguards are in place, such as contractual protections or region-specific deployments
- Data is transferred only for legitimate business purposes
For customers requiring strict data residency, GoVivace offers private, regional, or sovereign deployment options to minimize or eliminate cross-border data transfers.
9. Processing of Information by Third Parties
GoVivace may engage trusted third-party service providers (“Sub-processors”) to support the delivery and operation of our services. These may include providers for infrastructure, analytics, customer support, or operational tooling.
When engaging third parties:
- Processing is limited to the specific services they provide
- Sub-processors are contractually obligated to protect data confidentiality and security
- Third parties may not use personal data for their own purposes
- Access is restricted to what is necessary to perform agreed services
GoVivace remains responsible for ensuring that third-party processing complies with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.
A list of sub-processors may be made available upon request, subject to contractual obligations.
