This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) is designed to inform you as to how Buildots Ltd. and its affiliates handle your Personal Data, and to notify you about your privacy rights and how the law protects such rights. Buildots Ltd., together with its affiliated companies, shall be referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Buildots”, “we”, “us” or “our”.
This Privacy Policy only addresses Personal Data that Buildots may process in connection with your use of or interaction with Buildots’ websites available at: https://buildots.com/ (the “Websites”), your participation in marketing events, your subscription to receive newsletters and marketing emails, your application for a job, offering of services to you as well as any other interaction with us (including via email or telephone) in which you provide your Personal Data to us. To the extent that the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”) apply to Personal Data that we process in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we usually act as a “data controller” with respect to such processing.
This Privacy Policy does not address any Personal Data that may be processed by Buildots as part of the services that it offers to customers using its Platform (as defined below). In such cases, to the extent that the GDPR and/or the UK GDPR apply, we act as a “data processor” and our customers act as “data controllers” with respect to the Personal Data that is processed by Buildots on their behalf. Only each such customer, at its sole discretion, and not Buildots, determines the means and purposes for which Personal Data that is processed as part of the services provided via the Platform can be used. As a “data controller”, the customer is responsible for providing you with information on rights that you may have under applicable privacy laws.
In this Privacy Policy, the term “Personal Data” means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified; and the term “Platform” means Buildots’ proprietary software, developed and managed by Buildots, in its latest version, together with any relevant documentation, content, and services, which is made available by Buildots to its customers.
We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and to regularly check this page to review any changes we might make to the terms of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy supplements other policies we may provide as part of our interactions with you or policies you may have received from other controllers and is not intended to override such policies.
