6. DATA CONTROLLER
6.1. Unless otherwise specified herein or in the terms and conditions applicable to the Solutions You have requested, We are the data controller where the processing of personal data is collected directly from You as a data subject. A data controller is the person who determines the purpose of the processing of personal data and the means to be used during such processing. It is the data controller who has the overall responsibility for the processing of Your personal data.
6.2. Please note that Our Customers are separate data controllers in regard to their processing of Your personal data through Our Solutions and otherwise. Our Solutions are intended for use by organisations and We have no direct relationship with data subjects who utilise the services or products provided by our Customers (“End Users”), regardless of whether such services or products are facilitated through the use of Our Solutions. If you are an End User, We strongly encourage You to read the privacy policies and any terms and conditions of the Customers who process Your personal data and to contact them directly should you have any requests or inquiries about their processing. We expressly disclaim any responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these entities.
6.3. If You are consenting to this Policy on behalf of a Customer, You warrant and acknowledge that the Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that all data subjects whose personal data is transferred to Us have been provided with this Policy.

9.5. Where personal data may be subject to transfer to another organisation in contemplation of a merger, financing, reorganisation or dissolution transaction of all or part of Us, We will do this only if the involved parties have entered into an agreement under which the collection, use and disclosure of the personal data is restricted to those purposes that relate to the transaction, including a determination of whether or not to proceed with the transaction, and is to be used by the involved parties to carry out and complete the transaction. If another company acquires Us or Our business or assets, that company will possess the personal data collected by Us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding Your personal data as described in this Policy.
10. SECURITY
10.1. Safeguarding Your personal data is Our highest concern. As such, We endeavour to maintain and employ reasonable measures for the physical, procedural and technical security with respect to the offices and information storage facilities involved with Your personal data, to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, or modification of Your personal data.
