When a Business Customer uses the Service, Fondo may process Personal Data as part of providing the Service (for example, bookkeeping, tax preparation support, payroll or accounting integrations, or related communications). In many cases, the Business Customer is the Data Controller and Fondo is a Data Processor for that data. This Privacy Policy applies to information Fondo collects as a Data Controller (e.g., website visitors, marketing leads, customer contacts, and account owners) and to certain data processed to provide the Service. If you are using Fondo on behalf of a Business Customer, your use may also be governed by your organization’s agreement with Fondo. 3.
