1.Our approach

Vedatra Scalable Stacks Private Limited is registered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. We design the service so that customers can meet the rules that apply to them: recording notices and consent tools, organisation-level data isolation, role-based access, audit logs, data export and deletion, signed webhooks, and records that support consent and opt-out handling.

We list the laws we track on the regional pages. Listing a law is not a claim of certification or an assurance that using the service makes you compliant. Compliance depends on how a customer configures and uses the service, who they contact, and where.

3.Where the service is available

Phone numbers and carrier services are currently provided for the United States. Customers elsewhere can use app-to-app calling, messaging, meetings, and the web and mobile apps, and can request phone service in another country through a licensed local carrier. We tell you before purchase if we cannot support a country.

4.Certifications and assurance

We do not currently hold third-party certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001. We answer security questionnaires, provide a countersigned DPA on request, and describe our controls on the Trust page. We will publish certifications here only after they are issued.
