Forbidden but let me say the reality is really different and for some countries the piracy is not illegal. 
I believe it is also a matter of respects for the efforts of developers especially when there are not the big ones.

We are working on PDF data extraction doing a POC with a few LLMs like Claude, Co-pilot, Power automate, Textract etc. While, machine printed pdfs are fairly trivial and accurate from LLMs extraction, we are running into a challenge with hand written PDFs, as the image clarity is often very poor. Despite trying to OCR it and then parsing, it is not working well. I am trying to figure out, if anyone has a better suggestion or solution for this need?

How is your company tracking whether 3rd party APIs used by your production code to exchange data with vendors, providers, and partners through connectors are: (1) Exchanging the agreed upon data as defined in the Data Protection Agreements (DPA), Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC)? (2) Validating geographical data residency and transfer guidelines with the 3rd parties that have been agreed upon?

We are not able to do this in real time as of now7%

We do quarterly manual reviews or yearly interviews with the 3rd parties25%

We depend on the 3rd parties to let us know out of band if they feel they have violated the DPA, SCC31%

We have a dedicated personnel that monitors these data transfers using homegrown tools18%

We use outbound firewalls, CDNS, load balancers, API gateways - to get some visibility into these issues, but don't have a complete workflow in place9%

We have built homegrown custom solutions to address this4%

We use commercial services to answer if there is a difference between expected DPA, SCC behavior and reality in terms of data being sent to 3rd parties3%
