The DPS you are setting up is a web application and, as such, it is necessary that users who access the service by sharing their data, during registration and login, agree to the terms and conditions and privacy policy.
To fulfill legal obligations, you can configure the following documents:
- Privacy Policy: is a statement or legal document (in privacy law) that discloses some or all of the ways a party gathers, uses, discloses, and manages a customer or client's data.
- Terms Of Service: is a type of document that details the responsibilities of a service provider and the obligations of users that must be met in order for the service to keep used.
Editing Agreements
To edit the user agreement, you must:
- Enter the Service / User Agreements page.
- Select the User Agreement you want to edit.
- Change the Agreement content.
- Press the Save button, to amend the agreement.
Note that, by changing the document, all users must accept the new agreement the next time they log in.
Privacy Policy
Taking into account the new GDPR law in effect since the 25th May 2018, privacy is one of the main things to consider in the service definition. A privacy policy agreement typically contains the following topics:

Introduction about how the company takes care of users' privacy.
-
Kind of collected data (e.g. contact information, GPS, IP, phone numbers).
-
A description of how the collected data are used.
-
Where data are stored or transferred.

A Terms of Service agreement is required to protect the parties involved in service provisioning and usage, typically it contains sections pertaining to one or more of the following topics:
-
Disambiguation/definition of keywords and phrases.
-
User rights and responsibilities.

Proper or expected usage; definition of misuse.

User Acceptance Management
Servitly automatically grants that all the users will agree to the latest version of these agreements.
When a user fills out the account registration form, he or she must agree to all of these agreements to complete the registration.
From time to time it is possible that such agreements may change and when updated, during the login, users will be informed with a popup where they can review the new agreement and accept it to keep using the service.
Privacy and Terms documents agreed by the users are always visible by navigating the Privacy and Terms page under the user menu on the page top right.
By accessing the user edit page, the back-office manager can check the date/time each user accepted User Agreements.
Public URLs
In case an external application needs to refer to your DPS agreements, the following URLs can be used:
Privacy Policy
https://<ENVIRONMENT_BASE_URL>/legal/privacy-policy
Terms of Service
https://<ENVIRONMENT_BASE_URL>/legal/terms-of-service
Optionally, you can also force the document loading language; this can be used, for example, when you need to set up a mobile or home assistant integration in different languages.
https://<ENVIRONMENT_BASE_URL>/legal/privacy-policy?language=en
https://<ENVIRONMENT_BASE_URL>/legal/terms-of-service?language=it
Custom Agreements
Other than Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, more agreements can be added. Each custom agreement is described by a name and a text, which can be localized as you need.
Moreover, each custom agreement can be marked with the Mandatory User Acceptance flag, in order to be displayed to the user during the login.
Within the DPS application, custom agreements are visible within the Privacy and terms page of the user menu.
Sample Agreements
Here you can find some samples you can use to define your own user agreement.
- Sample Privacy Policy document.
- Sample Terms of Service document.
Pay attention that these documents, available as a result of creating the environment, are just samples and should be used only during the configuration phase. When moving the DPS into production, you must enter your own documents.
Servitly declines all responsibility for the use of such documents.
