For this section, we use the terms “Personal Data” and “processing” as they are defined in the GDPR, but “Personal Data” generally means information that can be used to individually identify a person, and “processing” generally covers actions that can be performed in connection with data such as collection, use, storage and disclosure. atSpoke may act as either a Data Processor or Data Controller (as defined by the GDPR). In general, atSpoke will be the controller of your Personal Data processed in connection with the Services. Note that we may also process Personal Data of our customers’ end users or employees in connection with our provision of the Services to customers, in which cases we are the processor of Personal Data. If we are acting as the Data Processor of your Personal Data rather than the Data Controller, please contact the Data Controller first to address your rights with respect to such data.
If there are any conflicts between this section and any other provision of this Privacy Policy, the policy or portion that is more protective of Personal Data shall control to the extent of such conflict. If you have any questions about this section or whether any of the following applies to you, please contact us at privacy@atspoke.com.
VIII. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data Under the GDPR
If you are from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), atSpoke’s legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data (as defined by the GDPR) we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.
atSpoke may process your Personal Data because:
Contractual Necessity: We process the following categories of Personal Data as a matter of “contractual necessity”, meaning that we need to process the data to perform under our Terms of Service or other contract with you, which enables us to provide you with the Services. When we process data due to contractual necessity, failure to provide such Personal Data will result in your inability to use some or all portions of the Services that require such data.
Consent: In some cases, we may process Personal Data based on the consent you expressly grant to us at the time we collect such data. When we process Personal Data based on your consent, it will be expressly indicated to you at the point and time of collection.
Other Processing Grounds: From time to time we may also need to process Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation, if it is necessary to protect the vital interests of you or other data subjects, or if it is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest.
Legitimate Interest: We process the following categories of Personal Data when we believe it furthers the legitimate interest of us or third parties.
Examples of these legitimate interests include:
IX. Site Providers
We may use third-party services (“Site Providers”) to monitor and analyze the use of our Site and Services and perform tasks on our behalf. These Site Providers have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. Here are some examples of Site Providers:
A. Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Site.
