Switching to Calisto

The data import agreement explained

You import your own data, from your own browser, with your own credentials, which Calisto never sees. Calisto is your processor.

The Data Import Terms are a short agreement you accept once for your account, before your first import. The full text is at /data-import-terms; this is what it says, in plain words.

It is your data, moved by you

The import copies your business's own records from a supplier into your Calisto account, for your own use. It runs in your browser, with your own credentials or your own export file. It does not connect Calisto to the supplier, keep the two in sync, or change anything at the supplier.

Calisto never handles your credentials

Calisto never contacts the supplier for you, never sits between you and the supplier, and never receives, sees or stores your key or login for it. A key you enter stays in your browser's memory for that session.

What you confirm

That the records are your business's to use, that your contract with the supplier lets you export them and use the credentials you enter, that you have a lawful basis for the personal data in them, and that you will not use the import to get data you are not entitled to.

Refusals are respected

The import reads a supplier only through its published interface, within its limits. If the supplier refuses, the import stops for that supplier and keeps a record of the answer for you. Calisto does not scrape, rotate addresses or work around a block.

Calisto's role

For the personal data you import, you are the controller and Calisto is your processor, under the Data Processing Agreement. Your right to take your data from one service to another is yours; the import is a tool you use to exercise it.

What is kept

Imported records become ordinary records in your account. Calisto also keeps a reference for each imported record, so it lands only once, and the progress of each import, so you can continue later; both are deleted with your account. Export files are read in your browser and not kept.

New versions

If the terms change, a new version is published and you accept it before your next import. What you already imported is not affected.
