Spanish term or phrase: del uso que ses le dé a los mismos
Context: "[Organización] es responsable de recabar sus datos personales, del uso que se le dé a los mismos y de su protección."

In a Mexican NGO's Privacy Policy. My target audience is heterogeneous (and not necessarily native English speakers), so I would like to know what this phrase means rather than its translation if possible.

English translation:(and for ) the use that is made of them…
Explanation:
[Organisation] is responsible for gathering your personal data, the use that is made of them and their protection.

(Some users might prefer another version with an Oxford comma)

[Organisation] is responsible for gathering your personal data, the use that is made of them, and their protection.

NB: As this query is posted in the Spanish to English translation section, that is what I'm suggesting. For an explanation in Spanish of the sentence, it should be posted in the ES-ES section.

Some might also prefer "collecting" rather than "gathering"... but to me it's six of one and half a dozen of the other.
