6. End User Information 

ByondXR may collect, store and/or process certain Non-personal and Personal Information concerning the End Users of our Users (the individuals who visit and use their Experiences), on our Users’ behalf and at their direction. For example, our Users are able to collect and store certain End User information via our Services, when such End Users use their Experiences. Such Personal Information is then stored with ByondXR (and its third party service providers), on the User’s behalf.

For such purposes, ByondXR serves and shall be considered as a “Data Processor” and not as the “Controller” (as both such capitalized terms are defined in the European Data Protection Directive and the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation) of such End User information. The Users and their organization shall be considered as the “Controllers” of their End Users’ information, and are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations that may apply to the collection and control of such information, including all data protection laws of any relevant jurisdiction. 

Our Users are responsible for the security, integrity and authorized use of their End Users’ information, and for obtaining any consents and permissions required for the collection, processing and use of such information.

ByondXR cannot and does not provide any legal advice to its Users or their End users, however we do recommend that all Users publish and maintain clear and comprehensive privacy policies on their Experiences, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, and that all End Users carefully read those policies and make sure that they consent to them. For more information on how End Users’ information may be processed by Byond, please see Sections 8, 12 and 13 below.

If you are an End User of any of our Users and have had your Personal Information collected on such User’s behalf, we recommend that you contact them directly with any privacy or data-related concern you might have. For example, if you wish to access, correct, amend or delete inaccurate information processed by ByondXR on behalf of its Users, please correct the information on the same User Experience where it was originally entered by you, or contact the relevant User directly (as they are the “Controller” of such data). If requested to remove any End User Personal Information, we will usually respond to such request within thirty (30) days. Unless otherwise instructed by our User, we will retain their End Users’ Personal Information for the period set forth in Section 12 below. 

7. Job Candidates

ByondXR welcomes all qualified Candidates to apply to any of the open positions posted a LinkedIn, by sending us their contact details and CV (“Candidates Information“). We understand that privacy and discreetness are crucial to our Candidates, and are committed to keep Candidates Information private and use it solely for our internal recruitment purposes (including for identifying Candidates, evaluating their applications, making hiring and employment decisions, and contacting Candidates by phone or in writing).

Please note that ByondXR may retain Candidates Information submitted to it even after the applied position has been filled or closed. This is done so we could re-consider Candidates for other positions and opportunities at Byond; so we could use their Candidates Information as reference for future applications submitted by them; and in case the Candidate is hired, for additional employment and business purposes related to their work.
