Customer Data means data provided by or on behalf of Customer or Customer’s Users via the 4me Services.  Customer Data is controlled by the entity that owns an account provided by the 4me Services.  Where 4me collects or processes Customer Data, it does so on behalf of the Customer.

If you are an individual authorized to access and use the 4me Services then you are a “User”, as further described in the Terms of Use.  If you are using the 4me Services by invitation of a Customer, whether that Customer is your employer, another entity, or an individual, that Customer determines its own policies and settings regarding storage, access, modification, deletion, sharing, and retention of Customer Data which may apply to your use of the 4me Services.

Safeguarding the privacy of Customer Data requires the cooperation of the Customer.  For example, Customer is responsible for the access they offer their users to their data.  Customer is also responsible for the quality, integrity, reliability, and appropriateness of data submitted to the 4me Services and must comply with applicable laws in using the 4me Services.

4me has no direct control or ownership of any personal data it processes.  4me generally does not have a direct relationship with individuals whose personal data is submitted by customers to the 4me Services.  4me does not control how its customers use the data they store in 4me.  An individual who seeks to correct, amend, or delete personal data within the 4me Services should direct this request to the Customer of 4me.
