Legal Compliance: in exceptional circumstances, we may disclose or allow government and law enforcement officials access to your personal data, in response to a subpoena, search warrant or court order (or similar requirement), or in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, with or without notice to you. Such disclosure or access may occur if we believe in good faith that: (a) we are legally compelled to do so; (b) disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activity, or other wrongdoing; or (c) such disclosure is required to protect our legitimate business interests, including the security or integrity of our products and Services.
Service Providers: we may engage selected third-party companies and individuals to perform services complementary to our own. Such Service Providers include hosting and server co-location services, communications and content delivery networks (CDNs), internet service providers, operating systems and platform, data analytics services, marketing and advertising services, data and cyber security services, fraud detection and prevention services, billing and payment processing services, web analytics, e-mail and SMS distribution and monitoring services, session or activity recording services, remote access services, performance measurement, data optimization services, social and advertising networks, content providers, support and customer relation management systems, service providers that help us verify your identity and help us comply with our legal and regulatory obligations to screen and monitor transactions; and our business, legal, financial and compliance advisors (collectively, “Service Providers“).

Third-Party Websites and Services: our Services may include links to third-party websites, and integrations with third-party services. Such websites and third-party services, and any information you process, submit, transmit or otherwise use with such websites and third-party services, are governed by such third-party’s terms and privacy practices and policies, and not by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to carefully read the terms and privacy policies of such website and third-party services. To the extent that our Service Providers contact you in order to offer or promote our Service, they may additionally interest you in their own services. Should you decide to engage in such activities with CB4’s Service Providers, please note that such engagement is beyond the scope of CB4’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and will therefore be covered by our Service Provider’s terms and privacy policy.
Sharing Data with our Customers and their Users: User’s data is shared with the administrator or other Users of the same Customer account. In such cases, sharing such data means that the administrator or other Users of the account may access it on behalf of the Customer, and will be able to monitor, process and analyze the personal data contained therein. This includes instances where you may contact us for help in resolving an issue specific to you or to a team of which you are a member (and which is managed by the same Customer).

In addition, should Context-Based 4 Casting, Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates undergo any change in control or ownership, including by means of merger, acquisition or purchase of substantially all or part of its assets, or will be considered or found eligible for a governmental grant, personal data may be shared with the parties involved in such an event. If we believe that such event might materially affect your personal data then stored with us, we will notify you of this event and the choices you may have via e-mail or prominent notice on our Services.
Additional Sharing: CB4 may share your personal data in additional manners, pursuant to your explicit approval, or if we are legally obligated to do so, or if we have successfully rendered such data non-personal, non-identifiable and anonymous. We may transfer, share or otherwise use non-personal and non-identifiable data at our sole discretion and without the need for further approval.

Service Communications: we may contact you with important information regarding our Services. For example, we may send you notifications (through any of the means available to us) of changes or updates to our Services, billing issues, payment issues, login attempts or password reset instructions, etc. Our Customers may also use our Services to send their Users notifications, messages and other updates regarding your use of the Services.

8. Data Security
We and our hosting services implement systems, applications and procedures to secure your Personal Data, to minimize the risks of theft, damage, loss of information, or unauthorized access or use of information. These measures provide sound industry-standard security, confirmed also by CB4’s SOC 2 Type 2 compliance certification. However, although we make efforts to protect your privacy and data, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute protection and security of any personal data stored with us or with any third-parties.
9. Data Subject Rights
Individuals have rights concerning their Personal Data. If you wish to exercise your privacy rights under any applicable law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), such as the right to request access, rectification or erasure of your Personal Data held with CB4, or to restrict or object to such Personal Data’s processing, or to port such Personal Data (if applicable) – please contact us by e-mail at: privacy@cb4.com. Please note that such rights are not absolute. There are instances where applicable law or regulatory requirements allow or require us to refuse to provide some or all of the personal data that we hold about you. In the event that we cannot accommodate your request, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
Please also note that we may require additional information, including certain personal data, in order to authenticate and process your request. Such additional information may be then retained by us for legal purposes (e.g. as proof of the identity of the person submitting the request), in accordance with Section 4 above. We may redact from the data which we will make available to you, any personal data related to others.
If you would like to make any requests or queries regarding personal data that we process on our Customer’s behalf, please contact that Customer directly. For example, if you are our Customer’s User and you wish to access, rectify, or erase data processed by CB4 on behalf of our Customer, please direct your request to the relevant Customer (who is the Controller of such data – see Section 10 below). Note that if you do contact us, we may share your communications with our Customer and its Users.
10. Roles and Responsibilities
Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the GDPR, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing personal data: 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. Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.
CB4 is the Data Controller of its Prospects data. 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 Policy. In such instances, our Service Providers processing such data will assume the role of Data Processors.
CB4 is both a Data Controller and Data Processor of our Customer’s User data. Such data is processed by CB4 for our own purposes (as described in Section 2 above), as an independent ‘controller’; whilst other aspects of Users’ data will be processed by us on our Customer’s behalf, as a Data Processor. In such instances, our Service Providers processing such data will assume the role of “sub-processors”.
Accordingly, CB4 processes Users personal data strictly in accordance with such Customer’s reasonable instructions and as further stipulated in our Data Processing Addendum (DPA) and other commercial agreements with such Customer. The Customer, as the Data Controller of such data, will be responsible for meeting any legal requirements applicable to Data Controllers (such as establishing a legal basis for processing and responding to Data Subject Rights requests concerning the data they control).
For the avoidance of doubt, each Customer is solely responsible for the security, integrity and authorized use of their Users’ information, for providing adequate notice to their Users whose personal data may be processed – including sufficient reference to the processing of their personal data via the Services, and any other information necessary to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws; and to obtain all approvals and consents from such individuals as required under such laws.
11. Additional Information and Contact Details

The amended version will be effective as of the date it is published. We will provide prior notice if we believe any substantial changes are involved via any of the communication means available to us or via Services. After such notice period, all amendments shall be deemed accepted by you.
