• the user’s employer is the data controller with respect to the user information it provides to us. When your employer is data controller in this way, we act as a data processor under data protection laws, meaning we use the information to provide a service to your employer.
• UniFocus is the data controller for information provided directly by the individual, including survey data, support requests, personal data within our mobile application, or information provided in a contact form.
