Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Policy have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Services and Reseller Terms of Services.

2. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

CoSupport is the controller of the Personal Data, as described in this Policy, unless otherwise stated.

Please note that this Policy does not apply to the extent that we process Personal Data in the role of a processor (or a comparable role such as a “service provider” in certain jurisdictions) on behalf of our Clients, including where we collect, use, share or process Personal Data via the Services. In such cases, CoSupport does not own, control or direct the use of any of the Client Data stored or processed by the Client, Users, or End-Users via the Services. Only the Client, Users, or End-Users are entitled to access, retrieve and direct the use of such Client Data. The Client, User, or End-User is the data controller under the applicable regulation for any Client Data containing Personal Data.

For detailed privacy information applicable to situations where a Client (and/or a Client affiliate) who uses and accesses the Services is the controller, please reach out to the respective Client directly. We are not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of our Clients, which may differ from those set forth in this Policy. If not stated otherwise either in this Policy or in a separate disclosure, we process such Personal Data in the role of a processor or service provider on behalf of a Client (and/or its affiliates), who is the responsible controller of the applicable Personal Data.

CoSupport is a separate processor when processing the Personal Data on behalf of a Client (and/or its affiliates), who has purchased the Services through the Reseller, and who is the responsible controller of the applicable Personal Data.

If the Personal Data has been submitted to us by or on behalf of a Client and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please inquire with the applicable Client directly.

CoSupport is largely unaware of what Client Data is actually being stored or made available by the Client, Users, or End-Users to the Services and does not directly access such Client Data except as authorized by the Client, or as necessary to provide Services to the Client.

Except as provided in this Policy, CoSupport does not independently cause Client Data containing Personal Data stored in connection with the Services to be transferred or otherwise made available to third parties, except to third party sub-processors who may process such data on behalf of CoSupport in connection with CoSupport’s provision of the Services to Clients.

CoSupport is not responsible for the content of the Personal Data contained in the Client Data or other information stored on its servers (or its sub-processors' servers) at the discretion of the Client, Users nor is CoSupport responsible for the manner in which the Client and Users collect, handle disclosure, distribute or otherwise process such information.
