ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision places the legal responsibility for obtaining all consents and providing all notices necessary for lawful processing of Service Data on the Customer rather than Zendesk. This allocation of responsibility is significant under GDPR and CCPA, where inadequate consent or notice mechanisms create direct regulatory exposure for the Customer as data controller.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, the Customer is responsible for ensuring that agents and end users have received required notices and provided any required consents before their data is processed by Zendesk. The Customer must also inform agents about their rights as described in Zendesk's Privacy Notice.
