This Policy does not apply to information collected through other Wink Reports USA websites or to information collected during Wink Reports USA sponsored sales and marketing activities. This Policy also does not apply to Personal Data collected through Wink Reports USA’s recruiting process. For purposes of this Policy, Personal Data means data about an identified or identifiable individual that is received by Wink Reports USA in the United States from the EEA, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, and recorded in any form, and is within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“General Data Protection Regulation” or “GDPR”), the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act, or the UK Data Protection Act 2018, respectively.
Wink Reports USA’s Role as a Service Provider to its Customers and Prospective Customers
Wink Reports USA is the creator of certain software products, and in connection with these software products, Wink Reports USA provides product demonstrations, product development, product enhancements, cloud services, solution engineering services, professional technical services, data migration services, and product technical support services (collectively “Services”) for the benefit of its customers and prospective customers in the EEA, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom through employees who may be located in the U.S. These U.S.-based employees may process Personal Data to provide Services to customers and prospective customers located in the EEA, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom.
Customers using Wink Reports USA’s cloud solutions are responsible for managing the data that they store within Wink Reports USA’s cloud solutions. Customers determine the categories of Personal Data and other information that are stored by Wink Reports USA. Similarly, Wink Reports USA's customers and prospective customers who share data with Wink Reports USA in connection with any of its Services determine which categories of Personal Data will be shared and for what purposes. Consequently, Wink Reports USA does not generally know the categories of Personal Data to be processed or the purpose(s) of the processing unless and until Wink Reports USA receives this information from its customers or prospective customers.
When Wink Reports USA processes Personal Data, Wink Reports USA does so only for the purpose of providing Services.
The Customer’s and Prospective Customer’s Responsibilities with Respect to Personal Data
Wink Reports USA customers and prospective customers may choose to include Personal Data among the data stored within the Wink Reports USA cloud or otherwise shared with Wink Reports USA in connection with its provision of Services.
Wink Reports USA processes only the Personal Data that its customers or prospective customers have chosen to share with Wink Reports USA. Wink Reports USA has no direct or contractual relationship with the subject of such Personal Data (a "Data Subject"). As a result, when a customer or prospective customer shares Personal Data, the customer or prospective customer is solely responsible for satisfying all legal obligations owed directly to the Data Subject under applicable data protection laws.
It is the customer's or prospective customer's responsibility to ensure that Personal Data it collects can be legally collected in the country of origin. The customer or prospective customer is also responsible for providing to the Data Subject any notices required by applicable law and for responding appropriately to the Data Subject's request to exercise his or her rights with respect to Personal Data. In addition, the customer or prospective customer is responsible for ensuring that its use of Wink Reports USA’s cloud offerings or Services is consistent with any privacy policy the customer or prospective customer has established and any notices it has provided to Data Subjects.
Wink Reports USA is not responsible for its customers’ or prospective customers’ privacy policies or practices or for the customers’ or prospective customers’ compliance with such policies or practices. Wink Reports USA does not review, comment upon, or monitor its customers’ or prospective customers’ privacy policies or their compliance with such policies. Wink Reports USA also does not review instructions or authorizations provided to Wink Reports USA to determine whether the instructions or authorizations are in compliance with, or conflict with, the terms of a customer's or prospective customer's published privacy policy or of any notice provided to Data Subjects. Customers and prospective customers are responsible for providing instructions and authorizations that comply with their policies, notices, and applicable laws.

Wink Reports USA utilizes a combination of online and offline security technologies, procedures and organizational measures to help safeguard Personal Data.

Onward Transfer
Wink Reports USA may disclose Personal Data to subcontractors and third-party agents who assist Wink Reports USA in providing Services to its customers and prospective customers. Before disclosing Personal Data to a subcontractor or third-party agent, Wink Reports USA will obtain assurances from the recipient that it will: (a) use the Personal Data only to assist Wink Reports USA in providing the Services; (b) provide at least the same level of protection for Personal Data as required by the DPF Principles; and (c) notify Wink Reports USA if the recipient is no longer able to provide the required protections.
