Privacy & Cookies Policy
Introduction
We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors, service or app users, individual customers and customer personnel. References in this policy to our “website” includes the app and vice versa unless otherwise stated.
This policy applies where we are acting as a data controller with respect to the personal data of such persons; in other words, where we determine the purposes and means of the processing of that personal data.
Where our users use our app to record personal data relating to the user’s (or his/her company’s) contacts, prospects, leads or customers (“in-app contact data”), we do not have any control over what personal data is recorded, nor how or for what purpose it is collected or the means for collecting it. We are therefore not a data controller in respect of such in-app contact data. We do process that in-app contact data on behalf of our users (or his/her company’s) by virtue of the provision of the Clinchd services and therefore we consider ourselves a data processor in respect of that personal data. Accordingly, how we process that personal data is covered by the Data Processing Addendum which you can find here www.modlify.io/dpa. It is the user’s (or his/her company’s) responsibility to ensure that it complies with applicable data protection laws in respect of how it collects and uses the personal data of any individuals whose details are included in the in-app contact data, including without limitation, the obligation to provide an information notice and to ensure there is a lawful basis for such processing.
We use cookies on our website. Insofar as those cookies are not strictly necessary for the provision of our website and services, we will ask you to consent to our use of cookies when you first visit our website.
