  1. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Please note that certain data protection laws and regulations, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing Personal Information: the “Data Controller”, who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “Data Processor”, who processes the data on behalf of the Data Controller. Please see the below explanation where we elaborate how these roles that apply to our Website and Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.

  • Satya is the “Data Controller” of the Personal Information collected: (i) on its Website; (ii) relating to the users of its Services; (iii) from job applicants; and (iv) in relation to any monitoring activities. With respect to such data, we assume the responsibilities of Data Controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Notice.  In such instances, our service providers processing such data will assume the role of “Data Processor”.
  • With respect to some Services, Satya is acting as a “Data Processor” and our customers are “Data Controllers”. We assure that data protection responsibilities are set forth in the applicable contractual engagement while we provide sufficient guarantees to allow our customers to comply with applicable data protection laws.

In case the GDPR or UK GDPR is applicable to the personal information we collect about you, we would like to assure you that we value your privacy and your rights and therefore have appointed Prighter Group with its local partners as our EU and UK privacy representative and your point of contact.  Prighter Group gives you an easy way to exercise your privacy-related rights (e.g., requests to access or erase personal data).  If you want to contact us via our representative Prighter Group or make use of your data subject rights, please visit the following website: https://prighter.com/q/16251813530.
