Slidize processes Personal Data both as a Processor and as a Controller, as defined in the Directive and the GDPR:
Slidize which you as a User entered an agreement with when signing up for an account, will be the Controller for User data, as outlined in the information above.
Using some Slidize services you may send your own client’s (“Client”) data through our servers, in this case you the User will be the Controller in accordance with Directive and GDPR, and Slidize will be the Processor. Slidize adheres to the Directive of 1995 and the GDPR from May 25th, 2018.

Slidize is largely unaware of what Client Data is actually being stored or made available by a Client or User to the Service and does not directly access such Client Data except as authorized by the User, or as necessary to provide Services to the Client and its Users. As such Slidize is not acting in the capacity of data controller in terms of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, hereinafter “GDPR”) and does not have the associated responsibilities under the GDPR.
Slidize should be considered only as a processor on behalf of its Clients and Users as to any Client Data containing Personal Data that is subject to the requirements of the GDPR. The Client or the User is the data controller under the Regulation for any Client Data containing Personal Data, meaning that such party controls the manner such Personal Data is collected and used as well as the determination of the purposes and means of the processing of such Personal Data.
