Sohmware is responsible for processing your business data. For your end customers' data, you remain the data controller and Tesseris acts as a processor. You can contact us at contact@tesser.is for any questions relating to this policy. Hosting: OVH SAS, 2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France - hosting in France, with possible interactions with external calendars outside the EU.

5. Retention Period

We retain your data: (a) Account and route data: during your subscription period + 30 days to allow possible reactivation, then automatic deletion. Technical backups may be kept for up to 90 additional days for security and service continuity purposes, accessible only in case of major technical incident or legal request; (b) Billing data: 10 years in accordance with accounting obligations; (c) Support and follow-up data: 3 years maximum for controls; (d) Connection logs: 1 year maximum; (e) Geolocation cache (address/GPS coordinates): 1 month maximum for performance optimization. You may request early deletion of your data except for legal obligations.

6. Your GDPR Rights

You have the following rights on YOUR business data: (a) Access: obtain a copy of your data; (b) Rectification: correct inaccurate data; (c) Erasure: delete your data under certain conditions; (d) Portability: retrieve your data in a structured format; (e) Objection: object to certain processing; (f) Restriction: request limitation of processing. Exercise of rights: Contact us at contact@tesser.is with proof of identity. Response within 1 month maximum. Data exports: Depending on the complexity of the request (period, filters, specialized format), fees may apply according to our current pricing schedule. IMPORTANT: For your end customers' data, you remain the data controller and must directly handle their GDPR requests. As a processor, we can only communicate this data to you according to your instructions.

7. Data Security

Security measures: HTTPS encryption, secure passwords, regular backups, secure OVH hosting. We adapt our security measures to the risk level of the data processed. Despite these measures, no transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

8. Transfers Outside the European Union

Although our servers are hosted in France, our service requires interactions with: (a) External calendars (Google, Microsoft) whose servers may be located outside the EU; (b) Geolocation and mapping APIs receiving only addresses for route calculation, route optimization and reverse geocoding; (c) French public services (data.gouv.fr) for geographical enrichment. These transfers are necessary for the service to function and rely on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses from these providers. Addresses alone, without association with first/last names, present a reduced risk of re-identification. We maintain a geolocation cache (address/GPS coordinates correspondence, 1 month maximum) to optimize performance and reduce calls to external APIs. We do not control the retention policies of external APIs. By using our service, you expressly consent to these transfers for the proper functioning of optimization.

8.1. Google Calendar and Microsoft Data

SHARING AND PROCESSING OF GOOGLE AND MICROSOFT DATA: Tesseris accesses your Google Calendar and Microsoft Exchange/Outlook calendars only within the strict framework of optimizing your routes. DATA ACCESSED: calendar events (title, date, time, location), availability and free slots for automatic appointment scheduling. EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE: read-only consultation to optimize the planning of your routes and avoid appointment conflicts. NO SHARING WITH THIRD PARTIES: Your Google and Microsoft calendar data is never shared, sold or transmitted to commercial third parties. It is only processed by our servers hosted in France (OVH) for algorithmic optimization. LIMITED RETENTION: Calendar information is consulted in real-time and is not permanently stored in our databases. Only a temporary technical cache (maximum 24h) may be maintained to optimize performance. ACCESS REVOCATION: You can revoke Tesseris access to your calendars at any time from your Google/Microsoft account or contact us at contact@tesser.is. SECURITY: All exchanges with Google and Microsoft APIs use standard OAuth 2.0 and HTTPS security protocols. Your Google/Microsoft service login credentials are never stored by Tesseris.

9. Data Breaches

In case of a data breach at risk, notification to CNIL within 72 hours and to concerned persons without excessive delay. Breach register maintained in accordance with GDPR.

10. End Customer Data Processing

The user company remains solely responsible for processing this data and must: (a) Collect appropriate consent from its customers; (b) Inform them that Tesseris processes their data for route optimization; (c) Respect their GDPR rights; (d) Ensure the lawfulness of processing; (e) Obtain explicit consent for any real-time geolocation of its end customers and inform them of this optional feature. Tesseris undertakes to process this data only according to the client company's instructions and within the strict framework of the optimization service.
