9. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not designed to attract children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children and do not wish to do so.

If you believe that we might have any such data, please contact us by email at DSR@contentsquare.com.

10. Data Controller/Processor

Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the GDPR, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing Personal Data: the “Data Controller” (under the CCPA, the “business”), who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “Data Processor” (under the CCPA, the ’service provider”), who processes the data on behalf of the Data Controller. Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.

Content Square is the “Data Controller” of its Visitors’, Customers’ and prospective Customers’ Personal Data, and with respect to which, assumes the responsibilities of Data Controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Content Square furthermore acts as Data Controller with regard to Account Data as submitted within the creation of a Customer profile or account on the Platform.

Any recordings of an End-User’s session on a Customer’s website or mobile application shall be processed by Content Square on behalf of our Customer, and may be shared with such Customer in accordance with this Privacy Policy and in accordance with their reasonable instructions, subject to our Terms of Service and other commercial agreements. Such Customer shall be deemed the “Data Controller” of its End-Users’ Personal Data and Content Square will process such data on this Customer’s behalf, as its “Data Processor”. The Customer will be responsible for meeting any legal requirements applicable to Data Controllers (such as establishing a legal basis for processing and responding to Data Subject Rights requests concerning the data they control).

If and End-User would like to make any requests or queries regarding Personal Data (see Section 8) we process on our Customer’s behalf, please contact such Customer directly.
