How we handle sensitive data:
User ResponsibilityIt is incumbent upon the User (Controller) to obtain specific and prominent consent from Participants for the collection of sensitive data, or to utilize another legal basis provided for in Article 11 of the LGPD, as applicable.
UserX Performancewe act as an Operator in the processing of this information, processing it exclusively according to the User's instructions and the limits of these Terms.
Enhanced securitySensitive data is handled with additional layers of protection, including restricted access control and encryption.
SealsThe User is prohibited from using sensitive data for discriminatory or illicit purposes, as well as from entering it into the AI Research Assistant's Inputs.
To clarify “who is responsible for what,” UserX plays distinct roles depending on the type of data being processed:
| DICE TYPE | USERX'S ROLE | USER ROLE |
