  • Merchants and their authorized staff using the Cervito dashboard

Categories of personal data

  • Visitor session identifiers (anonymous tokens)
  • Conversation transcripts (visitor-submitted text)
  • Email addresses captured via the optional email capture flow
  • Order metadata received via Shopify webhooks
  • Merchant account credentials (encrypted at rest)

Sub-processors

Current sub-processor list:

  • {{TODO: list every sub-processor — Anthropic, OpenAI, Railway, Cloudflare, Resend, etc.}}

Notice of new sub-processors: 30 days before they take effect. Merchants may object via [email protected].

Security measures

{{TODO: enumerate technical and organizational measures — AES-256-GCM at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, JWT auth, tenant isolation, access controls, audit logging, etc.}}

Data subject rights

Cervito will assist Controllers in responding to data subject requests within the timelines required by GDPR.
