These clauses impose binding obligations on the receiving party to protect the transferred data in accordance with EU data protection standards.

7. Data Processing and Third-Party Data Controllers

As Mordor Intelligence provides services to thousands of clients, there may be instances where we act as a data processor on behalf of our clients, who may be the data controllers of personal data. This relationship requires us to ensure that we comply with the data protection obligations set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant privacy laws.

  • Role as Data Processor: In situations where we act as a data processor for our clients, we process personal data strictly in accordance with the instructions provided by the client. This includes the storage, management, and processing of data for purposes specified in our contracts with those clients.
  • Client Responsibilities as Data Controllers: Our clients, as data controllers, are responsible for ensuring that the collection and processing of personal data comply with all relevant laws, including obtaining the necessary consent and ensuring the rights of data subjects are respected.
  • Data Processing Agreements: We enter into formal Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with clients who act as data controllers to define the terms and conditions under which personal data is processed, including security measures, data retention policies, and data breach notification procedures.
  • Sub-processors: We may use third-party vendors or sub-processors to perform specific services on our behalf (e.g., cloud storage, data analytics, payment processing). Any such sub-processors are bound by confidentiality and data protection agreements, and we provide clients with a list of sub-processors upon request.

8. Regular Monitoring and Audits

We monitor and regularly audit any data transfers to subcontractors outside the EU to ensure that these third parties are complying with their contractual obligations and the applicable data protection laws. If any non-compliance is detected, we will take immediate corrective action to address the issue.

9. Cross-Border Data Transfers and Data Sovereignty

As Mordor Intelligence operates globally and serves clients in various regions, we may transfer personal data across borders. We ensure that cross-border data transfers are made in compliance with international data protection laws.

  • International Transfers: Personal data may be transferred to jurisdictions outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) or California (as applicable), including countries that may not have equivalent data protection laws. In such cases, we take necessary measures, such as adopting Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), to protect the personal data being transferred.
  • Data Sovereignty: We ensure that our data storage and processing practices comply with local data protection laws in the jurisdictions where we operate. Where required, we store data in jurisdictions that provide a higher level of data protection, such as the European Union or the United States, and make sure appropriate safeguards are in place.

10. Client Data Security and Obligations

  • Client’s Data Security Obligations: Clients are responsible for ensuring that their own data protection measures align with applicable laws, including ensuring that any personal data shared with Mordor Intelligence is collected and processed lawfully. Clients are also responsible for the security of any data they upload or provide to us.
  • Client’s Role in Incident Reporting: Clients must notify us promptly if they become aware of any potential security incidents involving their own data, ensuring we can take immediate action to address any risks to data security.

11. Third-Party ÀÖÓãÌåÓý¹ÙÍøing and Data Sharing

Mordor Intelligence respects the privacy of your personal data and does not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for ÀÖÓãÌåÓý¹ÙÍøing purposes without your consent.

Clients and individuals may request further details regarding the safeguards that have been implemented to ensure compliance with the GDPR’s requirements.

13. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy, or as required to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. The retention period may vary depending on the type of data:

  • Transactional Data: Retained for as long as necessary for contract performance and compliance with legal obligations (e.g., tax laws).

  • Retained until you opt-out or withdraw consent to receive ÀÖÓãÌåÓý¹ÙÍøing communications.

Mordor Intelligence implements robust security measures to protect your personal data, including:

  • Encryption: We encrypt sensitive data in transit using SSL/TLS and at rest where applicable.
