Quality Unit, s. r. o. uses certain subprocessors to assist it in providing the LiveAgent Service.

What is a subprocessor:

A subprocessor is a third party data processor engaged by LiveAgent, who has or potentially will have access to or process Service Data (which may contain Personal Data). LiveAgent uses various types of sub-processors to perform different functions as explained in the tables below.

Due diligence:

LiveAgent undertakes to use a commercially reasonable selection process by which it evaluates the security, privacy and confidentiality practices of proposed subprocessors that will or may have access to or process Service Data.

Contractual safeguards:

LiveAgent requires its subprocessors to satisfy equivalent obligations as those required from LiveAgent (as a Data Processor) as set forth in LiveAgent’s Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”), including but not limited to the requirements to:

– process Personal Data in accordance with data controller’s (i.e. Subscriber’s) documented instructions (as communicated in writing to the relevant subprocessor by LiveAgent);

– in connection with their subprocessing activities, use only personnel who are reliable and subject to a contractually binding obligation to observe data privacy and security, to the extent applicable, pursuant to applicable data protection laws;

– provide regular training in security and data protection to personnel to whom they grant access to Personal Data;

– implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures;

– promptly inform LiveAgent about any actual or potential security breach; and cooperate with LiveAgent in order to deal with requests from data controllers, data subjects or data protection authorities, as applicable.

This policy does not give Customers any additional rights or remedies and should not be construed as a binding agreement. The information herein is only provided to illustrate LiveAgent’s engagement process for subprocessors as well as to provide the actual list of third party subprocessors as of the date of this policy (which LiveAgent may use in the delivery and support of its Services).
