Data received from software/subscription service users.

These customers act as data controllers (“Controllers”) in the use of the software and the collection and processing of Personal Information, including personal health information, in connection with our software. In such cases, our role in processing the Personal Information provided by our customers is as a “Processor,” since we are processing data on behalf of the Controller (who is the customer).

The Personal Information collected in this scenario generally includes the name and email of each assigned user, but may also include information related to employment, such as job title and role, scheduling information assigned to an individual and maintenance tasks performed by an individual. Processing of this Personal Information is performed on behalf of the customer and for the purpose of providing the services requested by the customer.
