BackupSheep AS A DATA CONTROLLER AND PROCESSOR
BackupSheep acts as a data controller when we collect and process Personal Data for BackupSheep’s legitimate interests, such as analyzing user interaction with our Websites or processing a customer credit card payment. BackupSheep acts as a data processor when we provide Products and Services to our customers, such as remote troubleshooting technical support. When acting as a data processor, BackupSheep will only process Personal Data in accordance with customer instructions and this Privacy Policy. BackupSheep's affiliates or subsidiaries may also act as data controllers or processors to the extent customers purchase Products and Services from those entities or Personal Data is shared with those entities.
Security
BackupSheep and its global third-party cloud storage providers have reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational security measures in place to protect against unauthorized processing, loss, misuse and alteration of Personal Data under its control, including: (a) pseudonymization (such as where data is separated from identifiers so that linkage to an identity is not possible without additional information that is stored separately) and encryption, (b) ensuring the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of systems and services used to process Personal Data, and (c) ensuring a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational security measures. Please be advised that we cannot, and we do not believe that anyone can, genuinely guarantee or warrant absolute security of Personal Data disclosed or transmitted via the Internet to us or a third-party. As a result, absent BackupSheep’s gross negligence, customers and users agree to not hold BackupSheep responsible for the theft, destruction, loss, damage or inadvertent disclosure of Personal Data or other data provided to BackupSheep.
