In the course of our business, we gather various types of information about our Data Subjects, including information that identifies you as an individual (“Personal Data”) as explained in more detail below. This website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.
The data controller is Sentient whose registered office is The Masonry, 151 Thomas Street, Dublin 8, Ireland.
Sentient is also required to process third party data (acting as a “data processor”) on behalf of our Customers. We are not the data controller in respect of our Customer’s clients’ personal data. The Customer is the data controller in respect of this data and we are the Customer’s data controller. We exclusively process this third party data in the form of meta-data, and do not import any personal information for unique use. It is a condition of any contract with Sentient that the data controller (i.e. the party that supplies the third party data to us and the party that determines the purpose and means of the personal data processing) is entirely compliant with Data Protection Legislation. Sentient cannot oversee contractual agreements between you and third parties, as such your use of third party data is solely your responsibility.
The principal legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in the provision of our core business activities of; providing a call centre quality assurance solution for scoring customer service calls, emails and web chat; ‘Scorebuddy’, and our customer analytics solution for call centres and outsourcers; ‘Cx Moments’. In addition, please note that in accordance with applicable data protection law, your personal data can be processed if:
• you have given us your consent for the purposes of the Processing. For the avoidance of doubt, you will always have the right to withdraw your consent at any time;
• it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party; or
• it is required by law.
Your agreement with Sentient is bound by our Terms and Conditions and/or your service contract with Sentient (your “Service Agreement”). This document is merely a statement of our Privacy Policy and commitment to data protection and does not supercede our Terms and Conditions or your Service Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the Privacy Statement and these Terms and Conditions/Service Agreement, the Terms and Conditions/Service Agreement shall prevail.
