Export Compliance

Last updated August 5, 2026

Realytics products — our cloud services, software, applications, and related technical data — are subject to the export control and economic sanctions laws of the United States and of the other jurisdictions in which we operate. These include the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Realytics complies with these laws, and this page describes what that means for our customers and partners. It summarizes our compliance posture for convenience; it is not a substitute for the regulations themselves and it is not legal advice. Customers remain responsible for their own compliance with all export control and sanctions laws that apply to them.

Product classification

Realytics products are commercial, mass-market analytics offerings delivered as cloud services. They are built for general business use — measuring consumer traffic and consumer opinions about physical locations — and contain no functionality designed for military, intelligence, or other defense applications. No Realytics product is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

Realytics software incorporates only standard, widely available encryption (such as TLS) to protect data in transit and at rest. Under the EAR, Realytics self-classifies its products as mass-market encryption items (ECCN 5D992.c) or as EAR99, which may be provided to most destinations without an individual export license. Classification details for a specific product or component are available on request.

Restricted destinations

Realytics does not offer, sell, or provide its products or services in or to the following jurisdictions. As of the effective date of this page, these are:

  • Cuba
  • Iran
  • North Korea
  • Syria
  • Russia
  • Belarus
  • the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine

Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the listed regions of Ukraine are subject to comprehensive U.S. embargoes. Russia and Belarus are subject to extensive U.S., EU, and UK sanctions and export controls; Realytics prohibits the provision of its products and services in both as a matter of company policy.

Realytics services may not be accessed from these jurisdictions, and customers may not make Realytics products, technical data, or outputs available in them.

Restricted parties

Realytics screens customers and partners against applicable restricted-party lists and does not knowingly provide products or services to anyone on them, or to entities owned or controlled by them. The principal lists are:

  • Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List — persons blocked under OFAC sanctions programs, with whom U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing.
  • Denied Persons List — persons whose export privileges have been denied by BIS; transactions involving items subject to the EAR are prohibited.
  • Entity List — parties for which BIS imposes specific license requirements on exports, reexports, and in-country transfers.
  • EU and UK consolidated sanctions lists — persons designated under the financial-sanctions regimes of the European Union and the United Kingdom.

Customer responsibilities

By using Realytics products, customers agree to comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws. In particular, customers must not:

  • access or use Realytics services in, or export or reexport Realytics products or technical data to, any embargoed jurisdiction listed above;
  • provide access to Realytics products to any person on a restricted-party list, or to any entity owned or controlled by such a person;
  • use Realytics products in connection with prohibited end uses, including the design, development, or production of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or of missile technology;
  • export or retransfer data or outputs obtained from Realytics products in violation of applicable law.

These obligations are part of our Terms of Service and extend to a customer’s users, affiliates, and anyone the customer allows to access the services.
