Transparency & Audit Policy

This policy explains the principles of transparency, auditability, and accountability applicable to the use of the software provided by DeskGate LLC.

1. Purpose

The purpose of this Transparency & Audit Policy is to describe how customers maintain visibility and control over system activity, audit records, and operational behavior within their own environments.

The software is delivered under a Self-Hosted / On-Premise model. All operational data, logs, and audit information remain within customer-controlled infrastructure at all times.

2. Transparency Principles

Transparency is achieved through predictable system behavior and customer-accessible configurations. There are no hidden services, undisclosed data flows, or remote processing activities outside the customer environment.

Customers may independently review system behavior using their own security tools, network monitoring, and internal audit procedures.

3. Audit Ownership

All audit activities are customer-owned and customer-managed. The software does not conduct audits, enforce audit rules, or generate centralized audit reports.

Logs, access records, session data, and configuration histories are created only within the customer’s systems according to customer-defined policies.

4. No Centralized Collection

No audit data, telemetry, or operational metadata is transmitted to external servers. There is no centralized visibility into customer usage or system activity.

5. Internal and External Audits

Customers may perform internal audits or engage independent third parties to assess compliance, security, or operational practices.

Such audits are conducted entirely within the customer’s environment. No approval or participation from the software provider is required.

6. Regulatory Alignment

The software is designed to support transparency requirements arising from data protection laws, labor regulations, and internal governance frameworks.

7. SaaS Transparency Without SaaS Control

While following modern SaaS transparency principles, the system does not impose vendor-side control, monitoring, or usage analytics.

Customers retain full autonomy over configuration, enforcement, and audit interpretation.

8. Limitations

This policy is provided for informational purposes only. Transparency and audit outcomes depend on customer-defined configurations, lawful use, and internal procedures.

Responsibility for audits, regulatory reporting, and compliance decisions rests solely with the customer. No legal or compliance advice is provided.
