(“Data Controller”). This Privacy Policy describes how Rimeto processes Personal Data as a Data Processor for the purpose of providing the Rimeto Service to our customers pursuant to the applicable data processing terms with those customers.
As Data Controllers, Rimeto’s customers are responsible for disclosing the rights of individuals (“Data Subjects”) with respect to their Personal Data and other information regarding the collection and use of that Personal Data, in accordance with the GDPR, CCPA, and other laws requiring such disclosures.
2. SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

3. PERSONAL DATA PROCESSED UNDER THIS POLICY
Rimeto acts as a Data Processor with respect to any Personal Data comprised in the Customer Data. By “Customer Data” we mean the content or information which individuals authorized by a customer submit to the Rimeto Service.
4. USE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Rimeto uses the Personal Data to provide the Rimeto Service to our customers pursuant to the applicable data processing terms with those customers. This will include integration of the Rimeto Service with the other services provided by Slack Technologies, Inc. and its [affiliates](https://slack.com/affiliates).
