When users access Tabnine through an employer or organizational account, the organization is designated as Data Controller and bears sole responsibility for providing required privacy notices, obtaining necessary consents, and complying with applicable data protection law with respect to its users' personal data. Tabnine operates as Data Processor in this configuration.

This provision places the full burden of user notice, consent, and data protection compliance on enterprise business partners rather than on Tabnine, which is a material allocation of regulatory risk that must be reflected in data processing agreements between organizations and Tabnine. Enterprise customers that fail to satisfy these obligations may face direct regulatory exposure under GDPR and CCPA as Data Controllers.
Under this clause, users accessing Tabnine through an employer or organizational account receive privacy notices and consents administered by their organization rather than directly by Tabnine. Individual users in this context should direct data subject rights requests to their organization as Data Controller, though the policy states Tabnine will notify the relevant business partner and make best efforts to enable rights fulfillment.

"If you utilize the Services on behalf of an organization you are associated with, as such organization is considered Tabnine's Business Partner, Tabnine is considered the "Data Processor" of your Personal Information and processes the Personal Information on behalf of its Business Partner (who is the "Data Controller" of such Personal Information). For the avoidance of doubt, and as mentioned above, each Business Partner is solely responsible for providing adequate notice to the its authorized Platform users whose Personal Information may be processed by Tabnine for the provision of the Services. This includes, to the extent required, sufficient reference to the processing of their Personal Information via the Platform, and any other information necessary to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws and obtaining all approvals and consents from individuals as required under the applicable laws.Excerpt from Tabnine's Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR Article 28 (processor obligations and controller-processor contracts), Article 13 and 14 (controller transparency and notice obligations), and CCPA provisions governing business and service provider relationships. The allocation of controller status to business partners places GDPR Articles 13-14 notice obligations squarely on enterprise customers. Relevant enforcement authorities include EU national data protection authorities and the California Privacy Protection Agency. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The policy places sole responsibility for user notice, consent, and regulatory compliance on business partner organizations, requiring those organizations to have executed compliant data processing agreements with Tabnine and to have implemented adequate notice mechanisms for their employees or platform users. Failure to do so creates direct regulatory exposure for the business partner as Data Controller. Enterprise procurement and legal teams should treat this as a contract review trigger. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA organizations face the highest exposure, as GDPR Article 28 requires a written contract between controller and processor specifying processing instructions, data subject rights obligations, and sub-processor conditions. Organizations in California must ensure their service provider agreements with Tabnine satisfy CCPA service provider contract requirements. Multinational organizations should assess compliance obligations across all jurisdictions in which their employees use the platform. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams must verify that a GDPR-compliant data processing agreement exists with Tabnine before deploying the platform for organizational use. The policy's assertion that business partners bear sole responsibility for user consent should be cross-referenced against executed agreements to ensure obligations are clearly defined. Sub-processor disclosure requirements under GDPR Article 28(2) should be evaluated in light of Tabnine's disclosure that its own service providers act as sub-processors. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should audit whether their organization's employee privacy notices and acceptable use policies adequately disclose Tabnine's data processing activities. Organizations should assess whether existing consent mechanisms cover the specific categories of personal data described in this privacy policy, including SSO-linked data and advertising identifiers. Data mapping exercises should reflect the controller/processor allocation described in this clause.
