- Scope
- PDS gathers personal information from site visitors from time to time to enhance existing offerings or provide additional services. Any personal information given to us through our website is used exclusively by PDS. The PDS “online request form” link, is where prospective customers can request product information from PDS. We collect Contact Name, Title, Phone, email address Company Name, Address, City/State, Zip, size, current project, decision time, budget, and their decision-making role. We then trigger an email to an internal sales mailbox so that we can follow up on the request. The “Submit your RFP” link is where prospective customers can submit a Request for Proposal (RFP). We collect Company Name, City/State, Contact Name, Title, email address and we then trigger an email to an internal sales mailbox so that we can distribute the attachment to a Sales representative. The “Download our product tour” link provides prospective customers with the option to request a PowerPoint “demo” of the product. We collect Contact Name, Company Name, and email address and trigger an email to an internal sales mailbox for follow up purposes. We then trigger an email to the prospective customer (from the Sales Vice President) with the PowerPoint attached. PDS may also collect Name, Email Address, Phone Number, Address, and Social Security Number or Social Insurance Number when registering an account with PDS Career Center. In addition to the corporate website, PDS clients are also provided with access to the PDS Support website. The Support site provides our customers access to product documentation, product updates, as well as access to our ticket-tracking system. Please note that customer information is captured within the following areas. Within the PDS Support site, the “Update Company Profile” link collects general company information that clients can maintain. The “Update your personal profile” link is where customers can record their own contact information and preferences (e.g. Newsletters, tax updates, etc.). PDS uses this information to build our contact list and determine who we should include in various communications such as product and tax updates, User Group conference information and/or corporate newsletters. By selecting these preferences, you have the option to control when we contact you. Under “Contact Maintenance” a new contact can be added by selecting the NEW button. When you want a new Vista User to be added to PDS communications this is where you should add their information including name, email address and phone number, along with their preferences so that we can communicate appropriately. To keep you informed, whenever a contact record is updated, we trigger an email to the contact notifying them of the username/password change, or if the contact record is touched. This area is also where clients can update and if necessary, remove contact information. PDS supports a hosted system, where it collects Personal Information including but not limited to customers’ organizational data (salary and compensation figures and structures, job descriptions, job codes, reporting relationships) and employee data (specific identifying information such as name, email/physical address, current/previous base salary, performance ratings, gender, ethnicity, and other demographical information). PDS will only share personal information with third parties to (fulfill the service).

What GDPR means, and what it does not
"GDPR compliant" is a claim, not a certification. The verifiable facts are a public DPA, SCC usage, an EU representative, data residency options and a Data Privacy Framework listing.
Read the GDPR guide and browse all vendors with evidenceQuestions buyers ask
Is PDS GDPR compliant?
There is no GDPR certification in general use. The verifiable facts are a public data processing agreement, standard contractual clauses, an EU representative and a Data Privacy Framework listing. See the legal artefacts and the DPF row on this page, each with its capture date.
How does CertReports verify this?
Every state carries a capture date, a source and a snapshot link. Registry rows come from the official registry data; vendor statements come from the vendor’s own page or trust centre; nothing is inferred. Vendors can dispute any row and corrections ship within two business days.
