Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The customer bears the legal responsibility for ensuring consent and notice obligations are met; if the customer fails to do so, it may expose both the customer and Zendesk to regulatory or legal risk.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The customer is responsible for all notices and consents needed from agents and end users before Zendesk can lawfully process their data; Zendesk does not bear this obligation.
