This means that each party is responsible for the personal information it processes in providing For example, if a seller accidentally discloses a buyer’s name and email address when fulfilling another buyer’s order, the seller, and not Forsigo, will be responsible for that unauthorized disclosure.
However, if you (as a seller) and Forsigo are found to be joint data controllers of buyer personal information, and if Forsigo is sued, fined or otherwise incurred expenses because of something you (or have not) done as a joint data controller of buyer personal information, then You agree to defend and indemnify Forsigo.
