Opus 2 International Limited is a company registered in England with its registered office at 5 New Street Square, London EC4A 3BF. Our company number is 05907841. The Opus 2 group of companies is made up of multiple legal entities and details can be found here. Reference to Opus 2 in this End User Privacy Statement means the Opus 2 entity which has entered into the Customer Agreement.

3. Customer Agreements and Opus 2 as a “data processor” of Customer Data

Opus 2 enters into separate agreements (each a “Customer Agreement”) for the supply of Software Services to its Customers. The organisation (e.g. your employer, your legal advisors, or another entity) which has entered into the Customer Agreement with Opus 2 is the “Customer”.

If you are using the Software Services pursuant to an agreement between Opus 2 and the Customer, you are an “End User” of the Customer.

  • Opus 2 processes personal data within content, data or other information submitted to the Software Services (“Content”) as is necessary to perform the Services pursuant to the Customer Agreement.
  • Opus 2 also collects and processes certain information about End Users which is submitted to the Software Services (“End User Information”) as is necessary to perform the Software Services pursuant to the Customer Agreement.

(collectively the “Customer Data”).

Opus 2 is a “data processor” of the Customer for the Customer Data which is processed by Opus 2. Opus 2 processes the Customer Data on the instructions of the Customer in accordance with the terms of the Customer Agreement. Depending on the Software Services being supplied, the Customer may be able to:

  • access, retain, export or delete personal data or other information about an End User which is submitted to or generated via the Software Services and/or other information associated with an End User’s account; and
  • grant, restrict, suspend, or terminate an End User’s access to the Software Services.
  • access, retain, export or delete Content submitted to the Software Services by End Users.

The Customer’s own privacy practices and notices apply to the Customer’s collection and use of the Customer Data. Please contact the Customer if you have any questions about the Customer’s privacy practices. If you are an End User and you have any questions about the Software Services or the Customer Data processed by Opus 2, please contact the Customer. If you have received an invite to access the Software Services and have any questions or encounter any problems in setting up an account or logging in to your account, please contact the Customer.

Opus 2 may share Customer Data with Subprocessors as authorised by the Customer and in accordance with the Customer Agreement. Details of the Subprocessors appointed by Opus 2 is here List of Subprocessors. If you have any questions about the Subprocessors appointed by Opus 2, please contact the Customer.

4. Opus 2 as an independent “data controller” of Usage Information

When an End User uses the Software Services, Opus 2’s servers automatically generate certain Activity Metadata and Technical Information and records it in log files.

Read more
  • Activity Metadata: When an End User interacts with the Software Services, activity metadata is generated regarding the way in which the End User uses the Software Services. This may include usage metrics (such as usage rates, occurrences of technical errors, diagnostic reports, settings preferences, interactions with third-party integrations which may be enabled by the Customer), content interactions (such as searches, views, downloads, prints, shares) and user journey history (such page navigation, timestamps, page response times, page interaction information).
  • Technical Information: As with most technology services delivered over the internet, Opus 2’s servers automatically collect certain technical information when an End User access or uses the Software Services. This may include: IP address, login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types, geolocation information, operating system and version, and similar data.

Activity Metadata and Technical Information is, by default, not associated with an End User. It is held against a unique user ID, rather than the email address the End User uses to access and use the Software Services. However, Opus 2 may, for the purposes set out below, identify the End User email address associated with the Activity Metadata and Technical Information. Where Activity Metadata and Technical Information includes personal data or can be used to identify an EndUser this constitutes “Usage Information” and is within the scope of this End User Privacy Notice.

Opus 2 use of Usage Information for the Opus 2 own purposes as set out below:
  • Protection of Software Services
Read more

to investigate and address, in good faith, any violations of the Acceptable Use Policy or the Customer Agreement; to detect, prevent and remediate any security issues; to exercise Opus 2’s rights under the Customer Agreement.

  • Compliance with laws
Read more

as required for Opus 2 to comply with applicable laws, regulations and legal processes.

Opus 2 use of non-identifiable Activity Metadata and Technical Information

Activity Metadata and Technical Information which does contain any personal data, which is not associated with an individual End User may be used by Opus 2 for Opus 2’s own legitimate business purposes.

Read more

Opus 2 may use non-identifiable Activity Metadata and Technical Information for its own business purposes, such as to maintain and preserve the integrity of the Software Services or to support the further development of the Opus 2 software. Any such use will not identify or be attributed to an End User, the Customer or the Customer’s end clients, and shall be subject to any additional restrictions and terms set out in the Customer Agreement.

5. Why Opus 2 is a “data controller” of Usage Information

Even though Usage Information is generated as a result of the supply of Software Services to a Customer under the Customer Agreement (and may also be used by Opus 2 for purposes which benefit the Customer), where Opus 2 is processing Usage Information for its own purposes, Opus 2 is, by law, a “data controller” in respect of such processing. Since this “data controller” status is assigned to Opus 2 by law, Opus 2 cannot “opt-out” of it, or change its status (including by agreement of the Customer). Being an independent “data controller” of Usage Information does not allow Opus 2 to use it without restriction or for any purpose. Opus 2 only uses the Usage Information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Statement and in compliance with data protection laws. Opus 2 never sells or rents Usage Information.

Read more

Data protection laws and privacy laws in certain jurisdictions, including but not limited to the UK, European Economic Area (EEA) and certain U.S. states differentiate between “data controllers” and “data processors” of personal data. A controller decides why and how to process personal data.

  • A “data controller” is an entity that determines the purposes and the means of the processing. The data controller decides why and how to process personal data, including what personal data to collect, how and why to use that personal data, who the personal data can be shared with, how long to keep the personal data and other decisions about the personal data.
  • A “data processor” is an entity that only processes, or uses, stores, transmits, etc, personal data in accordance with the instructions of a controller.
6. Sharing Usage Information with Third Parties

Opus 2 may share Usage Information with third parties as necessary for the purpose, as set out in this Privacy Statement, for which the Usage Information is collected and processed.

  • Customers: The Customer may independently access certain Usage Information through the Software Services. Since an End User uses Software Services pursuant to a Customer Agreement and the Customer is responsible for the activities of the End User, Opus 2 may, in accordance with data protection laws, share Usage Information with the Customer. The Customer’s own privacy practices and notices apply to the Customer’s use of Usage Information.
  • Affiliates and Subsidiaries: Opus 2 may share Usage Information within the Opus 2 group of companies as is necessary for the purposes (as set out above in this Privacy Statement) for which it is collected and processed.
  • Legal obligation and protection of rights: Opus 2 may share Usage Information with third parties as is necessary for the purposes (as set out above in this Privacy Statement) for which it is collected and processed.
  • Business Transactions: If the ownership of Opus 2’s business changes, Opus 2 may transfer Usage Information to the new owner. If such transfer is subject to additional mandatory restrictions under applicable laws, Opus 2 will comply with such restrictions.
7. Security

Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Opus 2 implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing. Details of Opus 2’s current security measures are here https://www.opus2.com/company/security/. In addition, Opus 2 shall comply with security-related terms in the Customer Agreement shall apply. If the Customer Agreement and the information on the Opus 2 Security Page is different, the terms of the Customer Agreement shall apply.

8. Legal bases for processing Usage Information

Opus 2 only uses Usage Information where there is a legal basis to do so. Below is information on the legal bases that Opus 2 relies on when processing Usage Information as an independent “data controller”.

  • Performance of a contract: to perform Opus 2’s obligations under a Customer Agreement.
  • Legal or regulatory obligation: where Opus 2 needs to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation to which it is subject.
  • Legitimate Interests: where necessary for Opus 2’s interests (or those of a third party), provided that Opus 2’s interests do not override your fundamental rights.
9. Where does Opus 2 store Usage Information

The location of where the Usage Information is stored typically depends on where the Opus 2 contracting entity under the Customer Agreement is based and, in respect of Usage Information shared with the third parties listed above, where the third party is based.

To the extent that Opus 2 Information is transferred to another country from the one in which it is collected, Opus 2 will ensure compliance with the requirements of the applicable laws in the respective jurisdiction in line with Opus 2’s obligations. Opus 2 shall comply with the terms of any additional or alternative terms within the Customer Agreement regarding international transfers that may apply to the transfer.

10. Retention of Usage Information

Opus 2 keeps Usage Information for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.
