DEEPX Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Website Terms of Use (the “Site Terms of Use“), into which this Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference.
This Privacy Policy is intended to supplement, and shall be read in conjunction with, the Site Terms of Use and our Cookie Policy (the “Cookie Policy“). DEEPX reserves the right to amend or update this Privacy Policy from time to time by issuing additional privacy statements, terms, or notices, as deemed necessary.
2. Scope and Applicability
This Privacy Policy is intended to describe and govern DEEPXâs practices with respect to the collection, processing, use, and disclosure of information, including Personal Data (as defined below), that may be collected from or about individuals when accessing or using the Services, as well as the rights and choices available to such individuals.
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, users of the Services (collectively referred to as “Users” or “you,” unless expressly stated otherwise) may include the following categories:
(i) individuals utilizing the Solution in their capacity as employees, representatives, or other personnel of DEEPXâs business customers (each, a “Customer“), including individuals designated as administrative users (“admin users“) of a Customer or those accessing or using the Services on behalf of a Customer (each, a “Customer End-User“);
(ii) individuals accessing or visiting the Websites (each, a “Visitor“); and
(iii) employment candidates (each, a “Candidate,” as further defined below).
IMPORTANT NOTICE: To the extent that DEEPX processes the Personal Data of Customer End-Users, such processing is conducted solely on behalf of, and under the instruction of, the applicable Customer. In such circumstances, the Customer acts as the “data controller,” and DEEPX acts in the capacity of a “data processor” as defined under applicable data protection laws. Such a Customer may include your employer or any other entity on whose behalf you access or utilize the Services. Further details regarding DEEPXâs role as a data processor, and the implications for your Personal Data, are set forth below.
The provisions of this Privacy Policy relating to DEEPXâs independent data processing activities in its capacity as a “data controller” apply exclusively to the processing of Personal Data of Visitors and Candidates. Such provisions do not apply to the processing of Personal Data of Customer End-Users. If you are accessing or using the Services as a Customer End-User or have any inquiries or requests concerning the processing of your Personal Data as a Customer End-User, you are advised to contact the relevant Customer (typically your employer or the entity on whose behalf you are utilizing the Services) directly.
3. Your Acknowledgement
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY PRIOR TO ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, OR ANY PART OR COMPONENT THEREOF.
By accessing or using the Services, or any part or component thereof, you expressly acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Privacy Policy, including the collection, use, and processing of your Personal Data (as defined herein). If you do not agree to any provision of this Privacy Policy, you are hereby instructed not to access or use the Services.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOU ARE UNDER NO LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE US WITH ANY PERSONAL DATA.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that any provision of Personal Data by you is done voluntarily and at your sole discretion. You further agree that DEEPX may collect, use, and process such Personal Data in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
To the extent that you provide DEEPX with any Personal Data relating to any third party, including but not limited to your personnel, colleagues, or customers, you expressly represent and warrant that you have obtained, and shall maintain at all times, all necessary consents, permissions, and authorizations from such third parties or entities, and that you have provided such parties with all necessary disclosures required under applicable law to enable DEEPX to access, store, collect, analyze, and process such Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy.
4. Collection of Personal and Non-Personal Data
DEEPX collects both Personal Data and Non-Personal Data, as defined below.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, âPersonal Dataâ shall mean any information that directly identifies an individual or that, when combined with other information lawfully available to DEEPX, may reasonably enable the identification of a natural person, or relates to an identified or identifiable natural person and is of a private or sensitive nature. Identification of an individual includes, without limitation, the association of such individual with a persistent identifier, such as a name, identification number, persistent cookie identifier, or similar unique reference. For the avoidance of doubt, Personal Data shall not include information that has been anonymized or aggregated, provided that such information can no longer be used, whether alone or in combination with other data, to identify a specific natural person.
âNon-Personal Dataâ refers to information that is collected without reference to the identity of the specific individual from whom such information was collected. Non-Personal Data may be collected while the User is accessing or using the Services and may include technical, behavioral, and aggregated information such as: the Userâs activity on the Website, operating system type, click-stream data, browser type and characteristics, keyboard features, demographic information, traffic patterns, and similar data.
It is hereby clarified that the majority of information collected by DEEPX through your use of the Services constitutes Non-Personal Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DEEPX may collect and process various categories of Personal Data as further detailed in this Privacy Policy through the applicable methods of collection described herein.
In the event that Personal Data is combined with Non-Personal Data, DEEPX shall treat the combined information as Personal Data for as long as such combination persists. Furthermore, Personal Data shall only be stored and processed by DEEPX if it is voluntarily provided by you, including, but not limited to, by way of submission through contact forms or other means of communication made available through the Services.
5. Sources of Personal Data Collection
