  • Customers are solely responsible for deciding who in their organization may use the integration, and for ensuring that capture of Slack content complies with applicable employment laws, privacy laws, and their organization's internal policies.

Pravodha offers a Microsoft Teams integration that allows Users in a Customer's organization to save Teams channel messages and threads to Pravodha as enterprise knowledge. Pravodha saves only the threads that a User chooses to save.

  • The integration operates only with the Microsoft 365 permissions that the Customer's administrator grants through Microsoft's authorization process. The Customer may revoke those permissions at any time through its Microsoft account settings, after which Pravodha will no longer capture new content from Teams.

  • Pravodha processes forwarded emails as a data processor on behalf of the Customer as data controller for that content.
  • Pravodha will not access, use, or disclose forwarded emails except as necessary to provide the service or as required by law.

Our Privacy Policy explains how saved content is processed to generate summaries.

5. Content

5.1 Ownership

Customers and End Users retain ownership of Content they create or submit to the Platform. By submitting Content, you grant Girivar Kft. a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, and process your Content solely as necessary to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Platform.

The Repo Points system is an internal reputation currency that governs certain interactions on the Platform. Repo Points are not a financial instrument, have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash or any other currency, and are non-transferable. Likes that a User's contributions receive from colleagues generate expertise badges, which are shown on the User's profile to other members of the same workspace. Pravodha reserves the right to adjust, reset, or modify the Repo Points system and the way badges are calculated at any time.

7. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the Platform, including its software, design, trademarks, and documentation, are owned by or licensed to Girivar Kft.

8. Data Protection

The collection and processing of personal data in connection with the Platform is governed by our Privacy Policy, available at pravodha.com/privacy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

For GDPR purposes, Girivar Kft. acts as a data controller with respect to User account data, website and Free Trial data, and usage data, and as a data processor with respect to content saved from Slack or Microsoft Teams, forwarded emails, and other data processed on behalf of the Customer. Customers acting as data controllers are responsible for ensuring they have a valid lawful basis for any personal data processed through the Platform.

Where required, Girivar Kft. will enter into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Customers upon request. Contact info@pravodha.com to request a DPA.

9. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other party in connection with the Platform that is designated as confidential or reasonably understood to be confidential ("Confidential Information"). This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.

10. Availability and Changes to the Platform
