Data Collection & Processing

(i) Customer Data: Our Services enable Rafiki customers to record, transcribe, analyze and share the contents of their sales communications, including phone calls, video conferences, email and other correspondences, as well as their CRM and customer contacts (collectively, “Customer Data”).

Customer Data typically contains data which relates to identifiable individuals, such as the customer’s sales representatives, prospects, and other parties either taking part in their communications or mentioned there.

In particular, at our customer’s choice, we may also use their Customer Data in order to identify and create unique “voice patterns” of each of their users, in order to better distinguish them in those communications they take part in.

Certain privacy and data protection laws require that call recordings may only be initialized pursuant to one or more of the parties’ consent (whether explicit or implicit, depending on applicable law), or subject to certain restrictions. Certain laws also deem unique voice pattern data, which is subject to special protections and care. Accordingly, whilst Rafiki supports these laws by providing our customers with features and options for how they use our Services – our customer is solely responsible for determining whether and how they wish to use our Services and such features, and to ensure that all individuals using Rafiki on their behalf or at their request have given their informed consent to these practices, and that all legal requirements applicable to the collection, recording and use of data through our Services are fully met by them, including specifically in the context of an employment relationship.

Rafiki processes Customer Data, and the personal data contained in it (including any voice patterns generated via such communications), strictly on our customer’s behalf, in accordance with their reasonable instructions and other commercial agreements with such customer.

Whilst Rafiki processes such Rafiki User Data on its customers’ behalf (where it is included in Customer Data), we also use it for our own purposes, as described in Section ‎2 below. Accordingly, to the extent applicable – our customer will be deemed the “Data Processor” or “Business”  with respect to such data; Rafiki will also be deemed an independent and separate “Data Processor” or “Business”  with respect to such data; and with respect to those portions or copies of Rafiki User Data that we process on behalf of our customer – we will also be deemed a “Data Processor” or “Service Provider” .

Data Security

We and our hosting services implement systems, applications and procedures to secure your personal data, to minimize the risks of theft, damage, loss of information, or unauthorized access or use of information.These measures provide sound industry standard security. However, although we make efforts to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee that our Sites, Platform or Services will be immune from any wrongdoings, malfunctions, unlawful interceptions or access, or other kinds of abuse and misuse.

Data Processor

Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the CCPA/GDPR, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing Personal Data: the “Data Processor” (or under the CCPA, “Business”), who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “Data Processor" (or under the CCPA, “service provider”), who processes the data on behalf of the data controller (or business). Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.

Rafiki is the “Data Processor” of the Rafiki Website, CRM & Prospect Data. With respect to such data, we assume the responsibilities of data controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy. In such instances, our “Service Providers" processing such data will assume the role of “Data Processor””.

Rafiki is the “Data Processor” of Customer Data, which we process on behalf of our customer (who is the “Data Processor” of such data; and our "Service Providers" who process such Customer Data on our behalf are the “sub-processors” of such data.

Rafiki is the “Data Processor” of Rafiki User Data. Such data is processed by Rafiki for its own purposes (as described in the Data Uses Section above), as an independent processor; whilst those certain portions of it which are included in Customer Data will be processed by us on our customer’s behalf, as a ‘processor’. Accordingly, Rafiki processes Customer Data strictly in accordance with such customer’s reasonable instructions and other commercial agreements with such customer. The customer, as controller of such data, will be responsible for meeting any legal requirements applicable to data controllers (such as establishing a legal basis for processing and responding to Data Subject Rights requests concerning the data they control). At Rafiki we strive to protect and secure our customers’ data to the highest levels, such as the data privacy obligations in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) – primarily the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”).

For the avoidance of doubt, each customer is solely responsible for providing adequate notice to their account users and customers whose data may be contained in Customer Data – including sufficient reference to the processing of their Personal Data via the Services, and any other information necessary to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws; and to obtain all approvals and consents from such individuals as required under such laws.
