5. COMPANIES AS CONTROLLERS OR PROCESSORS.

5.1 Provision of services.

The Companies provide various services to their clients. Generally, the provision of such services entails the processing of (personal) data obtained from Our clients (for example, accounting and wage data which may also contain personal data or personal data of private persons or employees of companies who buy Our services, which is retained in the economic software used by Us or in databases in file servers). In that case We only process data for the purposes determined by Our clients and the controller is Us or Our client.

The Company is mostly the processor of personal data and We process personal data only on behalf of Our client and under the client’s instructions. The relationship between and the rights and obligations of the processor and controller (meaning the Company and its clients) are also determined, if necessary, in a personal data processing agreement. Where the Company is the controller, We strictly comply with the requirements arising from Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

 

5.2. Obligations of the Company as the processor and the client as the controller.

Where the controller is Our client, the legal basis for the processing of personal data shall be determined by the client. The controller is also required to assess and manage the risks involved in the processing of personal data and perform duties related to notifying data subjects. As the processor, the Company performs a significant portion of the controller’s duties since Our services are part of personal data processing, the compliance of which with the law must be ensured by the controller. If the Company processes personal data on behalf of their clients (meaning as the processor), We operate in compliance with applicable provisions of law that govern the operation of processors.

The Company and the client who is the controller shall cooperate to ensure the prescribed protection of data subjects. If necessary, We provide the client with information necessary for compliance with the applicable personal data protection law.

 

6. SUBCONTRACTORS AND EXPORT OF PERSONAL DATA.

We use subcontractors for the processing of personal data but We do not export personal data outside the European Union. For example, our contractual subcontractors are Estonian providers of cloud computing services and other IT services. The Company enters into a data processing agreement with each and every subcontractor and verify the compliance with the terms and conditions of contract in order to protect personal data and perform their obligations toward their clients.

If you would like more information about the possible use of subcontractors in the provision of services to you, We kindly ask you to contact Us as set out under ‘Contact Details’.
