2.5. Services through an organisation
Our Services may be available to you through an organisation (i.e. your employer), thus that organisation is the administrator of the Services and is responsible for the accounts and/or Service sites over which it has control. If this is the case, please direct your data privacy questions to your employer’s administrator, as your use of the Services is subject to that organisation’s policies. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of an administrator’s organisation.

Even if the Services are not currently administered to you by an organisation, if you use an email address provided by an organisation (i.e. your work email address) to access the Services, then the owner of the domain associated with your email address (i.e. your employer) may assert control over your account and use of the Services at a later date. You will be notified if this happens.
