10. Data Controller / Processor

Under various privacy, data protection or similar laws, regulations or additional legal frameworks, such as the GDPR, two distinguished main roles for  parties processing Personal Data typically apply: the “data controller”, who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “data processor”, who processes such data on behalf of the data controller (or business). Below we provide additional information into how these roles apply to our Services, where such laws and regulations apply . Cydome is the “data controller” of its Visitors’ and Candidates’ Personal Data, as detailed above. Accordingly, with respect to such categories of data subjects, we assume the responsibilities of a data controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy . Cydome is the “data processor” of personal data contained in Customer End-Users’ Personal Data, as submitted or otherwise provided to us by our Customers and/or Customer End Users. We process such data on behalf of our Customer (who, in turn, is the “data controller” of such data) and in accordance with its reasonable instructions, and our commercial agreements with such Customer . Our Customers are solely responsible for determining whether and how they wish to use our Platform, and for ensuring that all individuals using the Platform on the Customer’s behalf or at their request, as well as all individuals whose personal data may be included in any Personal data processed through the Platform, have been provided with adequate notice and given informed consent to the processing of their personal data, where such consent is necessary or advised, and that all legal requirements applicable to the collection, use or other processing of data through our Platform are fully met by the Customer. Our Customers are also responsible for
handling data subject rights requests under applicable law, by their Customer End Users and other individuals whose data they process through the Platform (and accordingly, if you are a Customer End User or another individual whose Personal Data was provided to us in connection with Customer’s use of the Services, other than as instructed by an applicable Customer, Cydome does not provide to you the rights set forth in Section 8 above) . If you would like to make any requests or queries regarding personal data we process as a data processor on our Customer’s behalf, including accessing, correcting or deleting your data, please contact the Customer and/or Customer Admin directly.

11. Security.
We take great care in implementing and maintaining the security of Cydome’s Services and its Users’ Personal Information.
