We frequently enter agreements with our EU customers to provide them access to our Service, which includes the processing of information relating their customers. In providing our Service, we do not own, control or direct the use of the information stored or processed on our platform at the direction of our customers, and in fact we are largely unaware of what information is being stored on our platform and only access such information as reasonably necessary to provide the Service (including to respond to support requests), as otherwise authorized by our customers or as required by law. We are the “data processors” and not the “data controllers” of the information on our platform for purposes of the EU Directive on Data Protection (Directive 95/46/EC) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection. Our EU or Swiss based customers, who control their customer data and send it to Convert Insights Inc. products for processing, are the “controllers” of that data and are responsible for compliance with the Directive. In particular, our customers are responsible for complying with the Directive and relevant data protection legislation in the relevant EU member state before sending personal information to Convert Insights Inc. for processing. We work with our customers to help them provide notice to their customers concerning the purpose for which personal information is collected.

As the processors of personal information on behalf of our customers, we follow their instructions with respect to the information they control to the extent consistent with the functionality of our Service. In doing so, we implement technical, physical and administrative measures against unauthorized processing of such information and against loss, destruction of, or damage to, personal information as more fully described above under Protection of Information.

While the validity of the U.S. – E.U. Safe Harbor framework has been recently rejected by the EU Court of Justice, Convert Insights continues to adhere to its core principles, solely as a supplementary measure for further protecting and enhancing our Visitors’ and Users’ privacy (and without derogating from our commitment to follow all applicable legal requirements).
