These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the Pulse platform (the “Service”), provided by Pulse Payments LLC (dba Pulse Technologies) (“Pulse”, “we”, “us”). By accessing or using the Service, the customer organization (“Customer”, “you”) and its authorized users agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind it.
The Service lets Customers draft, schedule, and publish social content to connected networks (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Google Business Profile, Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord, Telegram, Tumblr), including AI-assisted content. It also includes Pulse SMS (business messaging), Pulse Email / PulseEngage (opt-in email marketing — campaigns, automations, and signup forms — offered both within Social Command and as a standalone application at pulseengage.pulsetechnologies.ai), Pulse Voice (a business phone system and AI voice platform — inbound and outbound calling through web, desktop, and mobile softphone apps, voicemail with transcription, call recording, fax including an optional write-once fax archive, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Webex calling integrations, video meeting rooms with optional recording, transcripts, and AI recaps, AI voice agents built in AI Studio including the PiP phone agent, outbound AI calling, and collections and pay-by-phone calling), PulseConnect (a contact center — voice, SMS, web chat, and email queues, customer-satisfaction surveys, the Agent Console on the web and as a desktop app, and CRM connectors), PulseMeet (appointment scheduling at meet.pulsetechnologies.ai — booking pages, Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 calendar sync, Zoom meeting links, reminders, and the optional PiP Notetaker that joins and summarizes meetings), PiP for Outlook and Teams (the PiP assistant as a Microsoft 365 add-in), Pulse RFP (RFP discovery, drafting, pricing, and submission — including sending response documents for e-signature at the Customer’s direction), Pulse Deals (the Pulse Partners portal for deal registration, commissions, and partner onboarding), Pulse SSO / PulseAdmin (unified sign-in and cross-product access management), PulseBill (recurring billing and invoicing for the Customer’s own customers, including usage rating and tax calculation), PulsePay (payment acceptance — merchant processing itself is provided under separate merchant agreements with the payment processor), a public API and webhooks, native CRM connectors, a support help desk, in-product usage analytics, and native mobile apps. These Terms govern each Pulse product a Customer uses, whether accessed within the Social Command workspace or as a standalone application. Individual features may depend on third-party approvals or be offered in beta.
You own the content you create or upload (“Customer Content”). You grant Pulse a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, and display it solely to provide the Service — including sending it to the third-party platforms and AI providers you direct us to use. You are responsible for having the rights to what you upload and publish.
You agree not to use the Service to: violate any law or a connected platform’s policies; post unlawful, infringing, deceptive, harassing, or harmful content; send spam or publish to accounts you are not authorized to manage; breach, disrupt, or reverse-engineer the Service or other tenants’ data; exceed API rate limits or circumvent security; or submit payment card numbers or sensitive data into post content (the Service screens for and blocks card numbers and detected secrets).
Pulse may suspend or terminate access for breach, non-payment, or to protect the Service or third parties. You may stop using the Service at any time. On termination, Customer Content is handled as described in the Privacy Policy and DPA.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. Pulse will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages; its total liability will not exceed the amounts you paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim.
You will defend and indemnify Pulse against claims arising from your Customer Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law. We may update these Terms; continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, with exclusive jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of Lee County, Florida.
The terms below apply in addition to Sections 1–10 when a Customer uses the product named.

pulselegal@pulsetechnologies.ai
This Privacy Policy explains how Pulse Payments LLC (dba Pulse Technologies) collects, uses, and protects information in connection with the Pulse platform (the “Service”) — a multi-tenant service for social publishing, business messaging (Pulse SMS), business phone, fax, team chat, video meetings, call recording, and AI voice (Pulse Voice), contact center (PulseConnect), opt-in email (Pulse Email), appointment and team scheduling and meeting notes (PulseMeet), work management and service desk (PulseWork), billing and payments (PulseBill and PulsePay), RFP and partner tools (Pulse RFP and Pulse Deals), the PiP assistant (in our apps, in Microsoft Outlook and Teams, and on our website), a public API and webhooks, and native mobile and desktop apps. It also covers our website and Pulse Secure Transfer, the secure link through which customers and partners send files to Pulse.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account | Name, email, role, organization membership, securely hashed password. |
| Content you create | Draft and scheduled posts, captions, media, and files you upload (including items given to the AI assistant). |
| PiP memory | A small per-user profile of work-style preferences it infers, and — for the support assistant — short, durable support-relevant facts learned from your support conversations (e.g. the tools you use), shared across the Pulse products on your account so PiP can help consistently. Excludes sensitive data; user-clearable. |
| Connected accounts | Access tokens and identifiers for the social networks you connect, so the Service can publish on your behalf. |
| Mobile & messaging | Contact phone numbers/names, message content and media (SMS/MMS/WhatsApp/RCS), delivery and opt-out status, consent-event log, the org’s dedicated number, and the records tools described under Pulse SMS below (litigation holds and exports). |
| Email marketing | Contact emails, names, tags, subscription status, campaign content, verified sending domain, and per-message engagement. |
| Voice / call data | Call audio, transcript, AI-agent summary and disposition, duration, and calling/called numbers for inbound and outbound calls; call recordings where recording is turned on; voicemail audio and its automatic transcript; fax documents sent and received (and, where a Customer enables the fax archive, write-once archived copies); caller name and number shown in call notifications; emergency (E911) addresses; and number-porting details. Where a Customer enables pay-by-phone, a card number keyed in by a caller passes once to the payment gateway for tokenization and authorization; Pulse keeps only the token, last four digits, and card brand, never the full card number or security code. |
| Compliance call recording | Where a Customer enrolls a workspace: call recordings archived encrypted in write-once storage for the retention period in the Customer’s recording policy; the log of who accessed, exported, or held each recording; and, where the policy asks for them, speaker-labelled transcripts (card numbers detected in a transcript are masked), AI-generated summaries, action items, topics, sentiment, disclosure checks, quality-assurance scores, and reviewer notes and attestations. A Customer can also send a recording’s action items to a PulseWork desk as tickets. |
| Team chat (Pulse Voice) | Messages, files, reactions, mentions, and search entries in the chat groups and channels of a Customer’s workspace, and requests the Customer’s users make to PiP in chat. |
| Video meetings & meeting notes | Pulse Voice meeting-room participants and, where the host turns on recording, the recording, transcript, and AI-generated recap. Where a PulseMeet user turns on the PiP Notetaker (off by default), the notetaker joins that user’s video meetings (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Webex) and captures the meeting audio, transcript, and participant names to produce AI meeting notes, which are emailed to that user. AI notes for a meeting booked through PulseMeet may also be emailed to the invitee. |
| Scheduling (PulseMeet) | Invitee name, email, phone number, time zone, and answers to the host’s booking questions; booking times; reminders sent; AI-prepared pre-meeting briefs; for team scheduling, each teammate’s working hours and free/busy time (never event titles or attendees), shown to other members of the same PulseMeet organization, and saved groups of teammates; an organization-level audit trail of administrative changes; and the calendar information described in “Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 calendars” below. |
| Work management & service desk (PulseWork) | Projects, work items, tickets and comments, attachments (including pasted screenshots), requester names and email addresses, customer organizations, time tracking, assets, approvals, help-center articles and satisfaction ratings, messages received from a connected Microsoft 365 support mailbox, API tokens (stored as hashes), webhook endpoints, and an administrator audit log. |
| Contact center (PulseConnect) | Web-chat messages and attachments with the page they were sent from, inbound and outbound email threads and attachments, SMS threads, call details and (where a queue records calls) recordings, customer-satisfaction survey ratings and answers, and agent presence, schedules, and activity. |
| PiP for Outlook and Teams | When a user connects Microsoft 365, the email open in Outlook and the Teams chats, files, mail, calendar, and meeting transcripts PiP reads as that user to answer the user’s request. |
| Website & direct inquiries | Name, email, company, phone, and message from contact and demo forms; messages you type to PiP on our website; IP address for abuse prevention and rate limiting; merchant-application details (business and owner identity, tax identifiers, and bank-account details); and files and uploader email addresses sent to Pulse through Pulse Secure Transfer, which are encrypted, scanned for malware, and stored write-once. |
| Ecommerce store data (Shopify) | If a Customer connects a Shopify store, its orders and checkouts received through Shopify webhooks — the buyer’s email and (for abandoned-checkout recovery) name, order or checkout total and currency, line items, timestamps, and Shopify’s recovery link — used for the Customer’s ecommerce automations, revenue attribution, and segmentation. Card and payment details are handled by Shopify and never received by Pulse. |
| Blog posts & CMS publishing | The blog posts a Customer drafts (title, SEO metadata, and body) and, where the Customer connects a content management system, that connection’s credentials, stored write-only and never shown back. |
| Text-to-pay | Amount, description, recipient, and status. Card details are entered on the gateway’s hosted page and never received by Pulse. |
| Billing | Plan, subscription status, and a payment-gateway reference. Pulse does not store full card numbers. |
| PulseBill records | A Customer’s own customers: account contacts and service addresses, invoices and usage, payment-method tokens (not card numbers), payment history, and the tax-exemption and resale certificates a Customer files (certificate number, jurisdiction, effective and expiry dates, and the document). |
| Agreement records | Purpose: to keep evidence that a Pulse Voice customer accepted Pulse’s terms, an order, or the 911 advisory, and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims about that acceptance. Fields: the signer’s name, title (if given), and email; the method and time of acceptance; the words the signer was shown and the document versions accepted; a reference to the signed file and its checksum, where there is one; and the signer’s IP address, kept only where one was provided (a paper or emailed signature has none). Retention: kept while the agreement is in effect and afterward for as long as needed to prove the acceptance and defend claims about it; a record is voided if wrongly entered, never edited or silently deleted, and it is not removed when the customer’s workspace is closed (see Section 7). Access: restricted to authorized Pulse staff; not shown to other customers. |
| Help & knowledge base (PulseDocs) | Questions asked in the PulseDocs help panel and help center, answered by PiP from the articles the asker may read; questions that find no guide are recorded with emails, links, long identifiers, and numbers masked, cut to 200 characters, and without the asker’s name. |
| Support requests | The content of support tickets and live chats — your messages, our replies, and any PiP exchange you attach — plus the status and category of the request. Pulse’s own support desk runs on PulseWork. |
| Developer data | API keys you generate (stored only as a hash) and the webhook endpoint URLs and signing secrets you configure. |
| Mobile app data | If you install a native app, a device push token so we can deliver the notifications you enable. |
| Usage analytics | In-product activity (which screens are used and for how long, by user and organization), used for the admin usage dashboards and to improve the Service. First-party only: stored in our own database, with no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. |
| Operational | Sign-in timestamps, job status, audit-log entries, rate-limit counters, and error logs. |
To authenticate users; generate, store, schedule, and publish content; send and receive messages and record opt-outs; orchestrate multi-channel journeys and place the outbound AI voice calls a Customer configures; route, connect, record (where turned on), archive, transcribe, and (where a recording policy asks) analyze inbound and outbound calls and voicemail, run team chat, and send, receive, and archive faxes; host video meetings and, where turned on, record, transcribe, and summarize them; run the Customer’s AI voice agents; publish booking pages, check calendar availability, create calendar and Zoom events for bookings, send booking confirmations and reminders, prepare pre-meeting briefs, and, where a user turns on the PiP Notetaker, join and summarize that user’s meetings; route contact-center calls, chats, texts, and emails to agents, run customer-satisfaction surveys, and log activity to a CRM the Customer connects; send push notifications to our mobile and desktop apps; run work-management projects and service desks; respond to website inquiries and process merchant applications; receive files sent to Pulse through Pulse Secure Transfer; send opted-in email with a working unsubscribe; enable text-to-pay (without processing the card itself); power AI features and the PiP assistant (which proposes, and never publishes on its own); provide API access and webhooks; screen content for sensitive data before publishing; operate support; manage billing; and secure and improve the Service with first-party analytics only.
Each organization is a separate tenant; content, connected accounts, members, and queues are segregated per organization. Contact data (names, emails, and phone numbers) a Customer imports is held in a shared per-tenant contact graph so it is available across the Pulse products that Customer uses — for example Pulse SMS and Pulse Email; it remains isolated to that Customer’s tenant and is never shared across Customers. Within the same tenant, PiP’s pre-meeting briefs may draw on that Customer’s own records of the same contact in other Pulse products (earlier bookings and meeting notes, Pulse SMS threads, and Pulse Voice call summaries). To troubleshoot, Pulse administrators may start a time-limited support session that acts within a Customer’s workspace; every such session is recorded in the audit log. Where a Customer is served through a Pulse reseller partner, that partner’s authorized administrators can enter and manage the Customer’s workspace; access runs downward only (a sub-reseller cannot reach its parent).
We use the service providers below to run the Service, sharing only what each needs to perform its function. This is the same list published on the Sub-processors tab, which is the maintained copy.

Tax associated with issued invoices is also recorded with CereTax for tax reporting. CereTax is PulseBill’s production tax provider. |
Some sub-processors are engaged only when a Customer enables the related feature (marked “if enabled”). Where a Customer connects its own third-party provider account with its own credentials (for example its own AI provider or carrier account in Pulse Voice), that provider acts under the Customer’s own agreement and is not a Pulse sub-processor for that data. Where a Customer turns on compliance capture, the archiving, supervision, or eDiscovery system it configures (for example an HTTPS/webhook endpoint, an SMTP journaling address, a Microsoft 365 / Purview mailbox, Proofpoint, or an SFTP feed to Smarsh or Global Relay) is the Customer’s own system or vendor, not a Pulse sub-processor.
When you connect a YouTube channel, the Service uses YouTube API Services to upload the videos you create and read your channel name. By connecting YouTube you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. We access your data solely to provide the publishing features you request; we do not use it for advertising or sell it. We store your YouTube access and refresh tokens only while your channel is connected and delete them when you disconnect. You can disconnect the channel at any time in the Service under Admin → Connections, or revoke access from Google’s security settings at security.google.com/settings/security/permissions (also reachable at myaccount.google.com/permissions).
PulseMeet, the Pulse scheduling product, lets a user connect a Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 calendar so that booking pages only offer times that are genuinely free. When you connect a calendar, PulseMeet requests: (a) free/busy information for the calendars you select, used to hide times that are already busy; (b) your list of calendars, so you can choose which to check for conflicts and which one receives bookings (for Microsoft 365, PulseMeet also reads your account email address); and (c) permission to create, update, and delete the booking events PulseMeet itself writes to the calendar you chose. For Google, event access is limited to calendars you own; for Microsoft 365, the permission Microsoft grants is read and write access to your calendars. PulseMeet reads the details of your other events (title, time, location, description, video-meeting link, organizer, and attendees) only to provide these PiP features: (i) if you turn on the PiP Notetaker (off by default; only you can turn it on), to find the upcoming meetings on your primary calendar that have a video link so the notetaker can join them; (ii) to prepare a pre-meeting brief for a booking, by finding your earlier and upcoming events with that invitee (this calendar search is on by default, and you can turn it off on PulseMeet’s Calendars page); and (iii) to answer your own questions to PiP about your meetings, including from PiP for Outlook. Event details used for these features are sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to write the brief or notes and are not used to train its models. Access and refresh tokens are stored encrypted at rest, are used only to provide these features, and are deleted when you disconnect the calendar. Calendar data is never used for advertising, never sold, and never shared with third parties except the sub-processors that provide the Service (our hosting providers; for the PiP features above, our AI provider; and, if you turn on the PiP Notetaker, Recall.ai, which receives the meeting link and time so the notetaker can join). PulseMeet’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can disconnect a calendar at any time from PulseMeet’s Settings, or revoke access at myaccount.google.com/permissions (Google) or myaccount.microsoft.com (Microsoft).
Mobile phone numbers and SMS consent are not shared with, sold, or rented to third parties or affiliates for their own marketing. Mobile information is used only to deliver the messaging the Customer configured, including through Twilio. Recipients may reply STOP/HELP at any time.
We retain account and content data while the organization account is active. From Security in the app you can export your data (JSON) and delete your account. To exercise other rights, contact pulselegal@pulsetechnologies.ai; we action verified requests within 30 days.
Closing or deleting an account ends access to it and removes the account’s content and settings, subject to the legal and contractual exceptions in this section and the Data Processing Addendum. It does not by itself delete every record associated with the account. The records below are kept after closure, for the reasons and periods shown. If you ask us to delete data that falls in one of these categories, the request is completed when the period ends.
| Record | Why we keep it | How long, and from when | At the end of the period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Call detail records and the call log (Pulse Voice) | Telecom regulatory recordkeeping and tracing of unlawful or abusive calls. | At least five years from the date of the call. This is a platform minimum; a Customer cannot set it lower. A legal hold on a workspace suspends deletion. | Deleted by a scheduled sweep. |
| Compliance call recordings, with their transcripts and analysis (Pulse Voice) | The Customer chose write-once compliance recording to meet its own recordkeeping duties. The archive is locked, so nobody — the Customer or Pulse — can delete a recording before the end of its period. | The period in the Customer’s recording policy, counted from the time the recording is archived. The Customer sets it per policy: no shorter than 365 days (the default), and longer where its own obligations require. A legal hold extends it until the hold is lifted. | The recording is deleted by a scheduled purge, and its transcript and analysis are deleted with it. A log entry that the recording existed and was deleted remains in the audit log. |
| Fax archive (Pulse Voice), where enabled | The Customer chose write-once archiving of its faxes. | The period set for the Customer’s account; seven years unless the Customer sets another period. A legal hold extends it. | Deleted by a scheduled purge. |
| Pulse Secure Transfer files | Files sent to Pulse are stored write-once, so they cannot be deleted before their period ends. | One year (General) or seven years (Regulated) from the time the file is uploaded, according to the category of the request. Deleting a request from the staff console does not shorten it. | The lock lapses and the files become eligible for deletion. |
| Agreement records | Evidence of acceptance of Pulse’s terms, an order, or the 911 advisory, and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims (see Section 2). | While the agreement is in effect and afterward for as long as needed to prove the acceptance and defend claims about it. | Removed, after manual review, once no longer needed for those purposes. |
Customers control the period for recordings and the fax archive from the settings of their workspace’s recording policy and fax archive. Pulse does not use records kept under this section for any purpose other than the reason shown.
We protect data with encrypted transport (HTTPS), salted-hash passwords, httpOnly session cookies, optional two-factor authentication (which an organization can require), single sign-on (OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0, and Sign in with Microsoft) and SCIM provisioning, organization-set session limits and sign-out everywhere, server-side session checks, role-based access with tenant isolation, rate limiting, pre-publish screening, encryption of recordings, transcripts, and archived files before storage, and audit logs. The Service is for business use by adults and is not directed to children.
We may update this policy; material changes update the effective date. Pulse Payments LLC (dba Pulse Technologies)

This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) forms part of the agreement between Pulse Payments LLC (dba Pulse Technologies) (“Pulse”, “Processor”) and the customer organization (“Customer”, “Controller”) for use of the Pulse platform. Where Customer Personal Data is processed, this DPA applies.
The Customer is the Controller and Pulse is the Processor of Customer Personal Data. Pulse processes it only to provide the Service and in accordance with the Customer’s documented instructions (these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and this DPA), unless required by law.
Customer Personal Data may be processed in the United States. Transfers from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to a country without an adequacy decision are governed by the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK IDTA), incorporated by reference.
The Customer must not submit special-category data unless its configuration and legal basis permit it.

Where a Customer turns on compliance capture, the archiving, supervision, or eDiscovery system it configures (for example an HTTPS/webhook endpoint, an SMTP journaling address, a Microsoft 365 / Purview mailbox, Proofpoint, or an SFTP feed to Smarsh or Global Relay) is the Customer’s own system or vendor, not a Pulse sub-processor.
