12. PROCESSING OF THIRD-PARTY DATA COLLECTED BY OUR CLIENTS
While using our services, clients may collect personal data from third parties (e.g., their own users, employees, or vendors) through our platform. So Simple will treat such data with the same standards set forth in this Policy.
So Simple acts as a data processor in these cases, while the client is the data controller. However, if an individual exercises their privacy rights (e.g., access, rectification, erasure), So Simple will process the request directly without needing to notify the client.
The individual retains full rights over their personal data, and So Simple will fulfill valid requests in accordance with applicable regulations.
Clients agree that So Simple is not obligated to inform them of such requests and is not liable for responding directly to individuals. Clients release So Simple from any claims or liabilities arising from the exercise of such rights.
This ensures So Simple meets its legal and ethical obligations while respecting the rights of data subjects.
This Privacy Policy reflects our commitment to protecting user data and maintaining transparency. By using our services, users acknowledge and accept the terms set forth herein.
