It applies whenever Workky processes personal information about Customer's callers, contacts, or staff ("Customer Personal Data") on Customer's behalf.
1. Roles
Customer is the business (controller). Workky is Customer's service provider (processor) under the California Consumer Privacy Act and comparable laws.
2. Workky's obligations
Workky will:
- Process only on instructions. Process Customer Personal Data only to provide the Services described in the Terms and as Customer instructs through the platform. Workky will not process it for any other purpose.

- Confidentiality. Ensure staff with access are bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Security. Maintain the safeguards described on the Security & Compliance page, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and logging.
- Subprocessors. Use only the subprocessors listed at workky.ai/subprocessors, flow down equivalent obligations to them, remain responsible for them, and give Customer 15 days' notice before adding a new one.
- Assist with rights requests. Within 10 business days, provide Customer with the tools or information needed to respond to a consumer's request to access, delete, or correct their data.
- Breach notice. Notify Customer without undue delay, and within 72 hours, after confirming a security incident involving Customer Personal Data, with reasonable detail.
