4. AI Features and Your Data

TavaSIS includes AI-assisted features that generate guidance notes and draft content at the performance indicator level. When you use these features:

  • Content you submit (performance indicator descriptions, project context) is processed by an AI language model provider to generate responses
  • This processing is conducted by a third-party AI provider under a data processing agreement with ZYT (see Section 5)
  • AI-generated outputs are stored within TavaSIS as part of your project record
  • We do not use your project content to train AI models

AI-generated content is a drafting aid only and must be reviewed by your Consultant. See Terms of Use Section 6.3.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share personal data only in the following circumstances:

When a Consultant invites a Client to a project on TavaSIS, both parties have access to the shared project data within that project's scope. Consultants can view all Client-submitted evidence and notes within their projects. Clients cannot view other Clients' projects.

Legal requirements

Where we are required to disclose data by law, court order, or regulatory authority.

Business transfers

If ZYT is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify affected users in advance.

7. International Data Transfers

TavaSIS is operated from Singapore. Our cloud infrastructure is hosted in the Asia-Pacific region. Some of our third-party providers process data in other countries, including the United States and the European Union.

Where personal data is transferred outside Singapore, we take steps to ensure it is protected by appropriate safeguards in accordance with the PDPA. Where we transfer data of EEA individuals outside the EEA, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms as required by GDPR.

On account termination, you may request export of your project data before closure. After the retention period, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

9. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest
  • Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel and systems
  • Role-based permissions within the Platform
  • Regular security monitoring and error logging
  • Data processing agreements with all third-party providers

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Cookies

TavaSIS uses essential cookies and session tokens required for Platform functionality (login sessions, security). We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. You may manage cookie settings through your browser; however, disabling essential cookies may prevent the Platform from functioning correctly.

We do count visits to our pages. The analytics service was chosen specifically because it sets no cookies and does not fingerprint visitors: it records the page, the country, the kind of device and where the visit came from, in aggregate only. It does not follow you across other websites and collects nothing that identifies you.
