Processing Customer Data Clause Samples
The 'Processing Customer Data' clause defines the rules and responsibilities for how customer data is collected, used, stored, and shared by the parties involved. Typically, this clause outlines the types of data covered, the purposes for which the data may be processed, and any security or confidentiality measures that must be followed. For example, it may specify that customer data can only be used to provide agreed services and must be protected against unauthorized access. The core function of this clause is to ensure that customer data is handled in compliance with applicable laws and to protect the privacy and security of that data, thereby reducing legal and reputational risks for both parties.
Processing Customer Data. Customer agrees that Customer will remain the controller of all data that Customer processes in connection with the Application (“Customer Data”), and that Company will only process Customer Data on Customer’s behalf in accordance with these Terms and the terms of Supplemental Support Services (as defined below). Company will use Customer Data only in accordance with these Terms and the Privacy Policy. Also, if Customer makes Customer Data publicly available, then notwithstanding provisions in these Terms or in the Privacy Policy that restrict Company’s use of Customer Data, Company may thereafter use Customer Data that is publicly disclosed in all manners permitted under applicable laws. Although Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep Customer Data generally available to Customer while Customer uses the Application, Company does not represent that Customer Data will be available to Customer at any given time, or will not be altered, lost or damaged, and Company recommends that Customer makes regular back-up copies of Customer Data independently of the Application, and that Customer not rely on the Application as the sole repository for Customer Data. If Customer removes Customer Data from the Application, Company may not be able to recover it. Customer acknowledges that, unless specified otherwise in the Privacy Policy Customer Data may be hosted anywhere in the world.
