Application of this DPA

‍

- Company processes Personal Data that is made available by the Customer in connection with the Main Agreement (whether directly by the Customer or indirectly by a third party retained by and operating for the benefit of the Customer);
- Data Protection Laws apply to the processing of Personal Data.

Parties' Roles

‍

In respect of the Parties' rights and obligations under this DPA regarding the Personal Data, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Customer is the Controller or Processor (as well as, as applicable, the Business or Service Provider, as these terms are defined under US Data Protection Laws) and Company is a Processor or Sub-Processor (as well as, as applicable, the Service Provider, as this term is defined under the US Data Protection Laws), and accordingly:
- Company agrees that it shall process all Personal Data in accordance with its obligations pursuant to this DPA;
- The Parties acknowledge that the Customer discloses Personal Data to Company only for the performance of the Services and that this constitutes a valid business purpose for the processing of such data.
If Customer is a Processor, Customer warrants to Company that Customer’s instructions and actions with respect to the Personal Data, including its appointment of Company as another Processor and concluding the Standard Contractual Clauses, have been authorized by the relevant Controller.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the DPA, Customer acknowledges that Company shall have the right to process Personal Data:
- collected in the context of providing the Services to Customer for Company’s legitimate internal business purposes including but not limited to for the purposes of billing, record-keeping, account management, marketing, analytics, market research, product improvement and development, support, protection against fraudulent or illegal activity and misuse of the Services, for the purpose of compliance with legal obligations, and the establishment, exercise and defense of legal claims.
- The Company may use aggregated and/or anonymized information for any purpose, subject to the confidentiality obligation in the Main Agreement.
To the extent any data referred to under Section ‎‎3.3 above is considered Personal Data, then the Company shall be deemed to be an independent Controller of such data under Data Protection Laws, and its Processing shall be outside the scope of this DPA.

‍

Compliance with Laws

‍

Each Party shall comply with its respective obligations under Data Protection Laws.
Company shall provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Customer in relation to Company’s processing of Personal Data in order to allow Customer to comply with its obligations as a Data Controller under Data Protection Laws.
Company agrees to notify Customer promptly if it becomes unable to comply with the terms of this DPA and take reasonable and appropriate measures to remedy such non-compliance.
Throughout the duration of the DPA, Customer represents and warrants that:
- Personal Data has been and will continue to be collected, processed and transferred by Customer to Company in accordance with the relevant provisions of Data Protection Laws;
- Customer is solely responsible for determining the lawfulness of the data processing instructions it provides to Company and shall provide Company only instructions that are lawful under Data Protection Laws;
- the processing of Personal Data by Company for the Permitted Purposes, as well as any instructions to Company in connection with the processing of the Personal Data (“Processing Instructions”), has been and will continue to be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Data Protection Law; and that
- The Customer has informed Data Subjects of the processing and transfer of Personal Data pursuant to the DPA and obtained any relevant consents or established other lawful grounds thereto (including without limitation any consent required in order to comply with the Processing Instructions and the Permitted Purposes).

‍

Processing Purpose and Instructions

‍

The subject matter of the processing, the nature and purpose of the processing, the type of Personal Data and categories of Data Subjects, shall be as set out in the Main Agreement, or in the attached Annex I.
Company shall process Personal Data only for the Permitted Purposes and in accordance with Customer’s written Processing Instructions (unless waived in a written requirement), the Main Agreement and Data Protection Laws, unless Company is otherwise required to do so by law to which it is subject (and in such a case, Company shall inform Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest). Company shall promptly inform Customer if, in Company’s opinion, an instruction is in violation of Data Protection Laws.
To the extent that the Processing Instructions may result in the Processing of any Personal Data outside the scope of the Main Agreement or the Permitted Purposes, then such Processing will require prior written agreement between Company and Customer, which may include any additional fees that may be payable by Customer to Company for carrying out such Processing Instructions.
Company shall not process Personal Data for any purpose other than for the purpose of performing the Services or for a lawful commercial or business purpose (as defined under US Data Protection Laws), or as otherwise permitted under Data Protection Laws. Company's performance of the Services may include disclosing Personal Data to Sub-Processors where such disclosure is necessary for the provision of the Services and Company’s activities.

‍

Reasonable Security and Safeguards

‍

Company represents, warrants, and agrees to use security measures (i) to protect the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of any Personal Data collected, accessed or processed by Company in connection with this DPA, and (ii) to protect such data from Security Incidents. Such security measures include, without limitation, the security measures set out in Annex II.
The security measures are subject to technical progress and development and Company may update or modify the security measures from time to time provided that such updates and modifications shall not, in the Company’s discretion, result in the degradation of the overall security of the services procured by Customer.
Company shall take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of its staff and any other person acting under its supervision who has access to and processes Personal Data. Company shall ensure that persons authorized to process Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.

‍

Security Incidents

‍

Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, Company will notify Customer without undue delay and will provide information relating to the Security Incident as reasonably requested by Customer. Company will make reasonable endeavors, at Customer's expense, to assist Customer in mitigating, where possible, the adverse effects of any Security Incident.‍

‍

Security Assessments and Audits

‍

Company audits its compliance with data protection and information security standards on a regular basis. Such audits are conducted by Company’s internal audit team or by third party auditors engaged by Company, and will result in the generation of an audit report (“Report”), which will be Company’s confidential information.
Company shall, upon prior written notice and subject to obligations of confidentiality, no more than once a year and in normal business hours, allow its data processing procedures and documentation to be inspected by Customer (or its designee), at Customer's expense, in order to ascertain compliance with this DPA; Company shall cooperate in good faith with such audit requests by providing access to relevant knowledgeable personnel and documentation.
At Customer’s written request, and subject to obligations of confidentiality, Company may satisfy the requirements set out in this section by providing Customer with a copy of the Report so that Customer can reasonably verify Company’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA.

‍

Cooperation and Assistance

‍

If Company receives any requests from individuals or applicable data protection authorities relating to the processing of Personal Data under the Main Agreement, including requests from individuals seeking to exercise their rights under applicable Data Protection Law, Company will promptly redirect the request to Customer. Company will not respond to such communication directly without Customer's prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so. If Company is required to respond to such a request, Company will promptly notify Customer and provide Customer with a copy of the request, unless legally prohibited from doing so. The Customer is responsible for verifying that the requestor is the data subject whose information is being sought or its duly authorized representative. Company bears no responsibility for information provided in good faith to Customer in reliance on this subsection.
If Company receives a legally binding request for the disclosure of Personal Data which is subject to this DPA, Company shall (to the extent legally permitted) notify Customer upon receipt of such order, demand, or request. It is hereby clarified however that if no response is received from Customer within three (3) business days (or otherwise any shorter period as dictated by the relevant law or authority), Company shall be entitled to provide such information.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company will cooperate with Customer with respect to any action taken by it pursuant to such order, demand or request, including ensuring that confidential treatment will be accorded to such disclosed Personal Data. Customer shall cover all costs incurred by the Company in connection with its provision of such assistance.
Upon reasonable notice, Company shall:
- taking into account the nature of the processing, provide reasonable assistance to the Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfillment of the Customer’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising Data Subject's rights, at Customer’s expense;
- provide reasonable assistance to the Customer in ensuring Customer’s compliance with its obligation to carry out data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with data protection authorities with respect to the processing of Personal Data, provided, however, that if such assistance entails material costs or expenses to Company, the Parties shall first come to agreement on Customer reimbursing Company for such costs and expenses.

‍

Use of Sub-Processors

‍

Customer provides a general authorization to Company to appoint (and permit each Sub-Processor appointed in accordance with this Clause to appoint) Processors and/or Sub Processors in accordance with this section.
Company may continue to use those Sub-Processors already engaged by Company as at the date of this DPA, as specified in Annex III, subject to Company, in each case as soon as practicable, meeting the obligations set out in this Clause.
Company can at any time appoint a new Sub-Processor provided that Customer is given ten (10) days' prior notice (such notice may be given through Company’s Services) and the Customer does not legitimately object to such changes within that time frame. Legitimate objections must contain reasonable and documented grounds relating to a Sub-Processor's non-compliance with Data Protection Laws. If, in Company’s reasonable opinion, such objections are legitimate, Company shall either refrain from using such Sub-Processor in the context of the processing of Personal Data or shall notify Customer of its intention to continue to use the Sub-Processor. Where Company notifies Customer of its intention to continue to use the Sub-Processor in these circumstances, Customer may, by providing written notice to Company, terminate the affected portion of the Main Agreement.
With respect to each Sub-Processor, Company shall ensure that the arrangement between Company and the Sub-Processor is governed by a written contract including terms which offer at least the same level of protection as those set out in this DPA and meets the requirements of Data Protection Laws.
Company will be responsible for any acts or omissions by its Sub-Processors, which may cause Company to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.
Company will only disclose Personal Data to Sub-Processors for the specific purposes of carrying out the Services on Company's behalf.
