The Software is cloud-based customer support and communication software that allows business entities that install the Software on their websites (the “Clients”) to interact with their customers or potential customers (the “End-Users”) via Internet-based calls and chats. The Website provides information about the Software and allows the Clients to sign up, login to, and manage their user accounts.

  • “Consent” means a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous agreement to the processing of personal data;
  • “Data controller” means the entity that determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data;

1.5   Our role as data controller and data processor
When handling personal data, we act as a data controller and a data processor in terms of the GDPR. Our role depends on the specific situation involving personal data as explained in detail below:
  • We act in a capacity of a data controller when we ask our Clients to submit their personal data that is necessary to ensure their access and use of LiveCaller (e.g., when the Clients conclude contracts with us, download the Software, create or update their user accounts, make payments, or communicate with us). In such instances, we are a data controller because we make decisions about the types of personal data that should be collected from the Clients and the purposes for which such personal data should be used. Therefore, we comply with data controller’s obligations set forth in the GDPR.
  • We act in a capacity of a data processor in situations when the Clients interact with the End-Users through the Software and the End-Users decide to provide their personal data through the Software. We do not own, control, or make decisions about End-Users’ personal data and such personal data is processed only in accordance with our Clients’ instructions. In such situations, the Clients act as data controllers in terms of the GDPR and the Clients are responsible for deciding what personal data should be collected from the End-Users and how such data should be processed. In the situations when we act in capacity of a data processor, we comply with data processors’ obligations set forth in the GDPR. In order to ensure that End-Users’ personal data is processed in accordance with the strictest data protection standards, we request our Clients to conclude a data processing agreement available at [please insert URL to your data processing agreement] (the “Data Processing Agreement”). The Data Processing Agreement can be concluded in an easy and hassle-free manner through the user account held by the Client.
1.6   Third parties
This Privacy Policy applies to the personal data processed through LiveCaller only. Unless otherwise provided by the applicable law and stated in this Privacy Policy, we are not responsible or liable in any manner for the security and privacy practices deployed by the operators of third-party websites linked to and from LiveCaller.

The Payment Processor handles all the steps in the payment process on its website, including data collection and data processing. We do not store your credit card details in our systems.
