When we process personal data on behalf of an organization (such as an accelerator, university, or other customer) that uses our platform to manage its own community, that organization is the data controller and Startup Science acts as its data processor. In those cases, our obligations are further described in our Data Processing Addendum.
We do not currently maintain an EU representative. Our collection of EU/UK data subjects’ information is limited, and we primarily offer B2B, professional services.
