- Data Processing
Scope of this Schedule
For the purposes of this Schedule and the Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that:
-
This Schedule does not apply to any data which does not, by itself,
contain any information that would allow for the identification of an individual and therefore shall not constitute Personal Data under the Applicable Privacy Laws.
-
Independent Controllers. This Schedule does not apply to the
Parties’ respective obligations as independent Controllers of Personal Data. Supplier and the Customer operate as separate Controllers in respect to the Personal Data either Party may independently process in connection with the Services or otherwise. Accordingly:
-
Supplier shall be deemed a separate Controller for any Personal
Data (i) it collects to provide the Services, including regarding the Customer and its staff or users (including staff or users of Authorised Affiliates); and (ii) it collects from its Users or Data Subjects through Supplier’s provision of the Solution.
-
Customer shall be deemed a separate Controller for Personal Data
related to any Data Subjects provided to it by Supplier as part of the Solution under the Agreement.
-
The parties hereby undertake to respect applicable laws which
apply to them as separate Controllers and to be liable separately for their own controllership obligations and responsibilities when acting as separate Controllers.
-
Roles of the parties
The parties agree that this Schedule shall only apply to processing activities whereby:
- Customer acts as Controller and Supplier acts as Processor in
respect of Protected Data that is processed by Supplier as part of its Solution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Schedule shall only apply to data processing performed by Supplier as part of the Services subscribed to by Customer in the Agreement.
Nothing in this Schedule relieves either party of any of their respective responsibilities or liabilities under the Applicable Privacy Laws.
Customer’s compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws.
When acting as Controller, Customer shall at all times comply with all Applicable Privacy Laws. Customer shall ensure all instructions given by it to Supplier in respect of Protected Data (including the terms of this Schedule) shall at all times be in accordance with Applicable Privacy Laws. Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring that it has obtained all applicable consents and has provided all advance notice and information of the processing contemplated hereunder to any Data Subjects, as required of it under Applicable Privacy Laws.
Supplier’s compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws.
Supplier shall process Protected Data in compliance with the obligations placed on it under Applicable Privacy Laws and the terms of this Schedule.
Instructions.
Supplier shall only process (and shall ensure that its personnel and Sub-Processors only process) the Protected Data in accordance with the Customer’s instructions set out at Part A of this Schedule and the terms of this Schedule, except to the extent: (a) that alternative processing instructions are agreed between the parties in writing; or (b) otherwise required by Applicable Privacy Laws (in which case, Supplier shall inform Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless applicable law prevents it doing so on important grounds of public interest). If Supplier believes that any instruction received by it from the Customer is likely to infringe the Applicable Privacy Laws, it shall be entitled to cease to provide the relevant Solution under the Agreement, without liability, until the parties have agreed appropriate amended instructions which are not infringing.
Security
To protect the Protected Data against accidental, unauthorised or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access, Supplier shall implement and maintain the technical and organisational measures in accordance with Supplier’s security commitment set out in Part B of this Schedule.
Sub-processing
-
Supplier’s current list of Sub-Processors is set forth in Part C,
which Supplier may update in its discretion from time to time. Customer may request an up-to-date list of Sub-Processors at any time acting reasonably. Customer may reasonably object to Supplier’s replacement of a Sub-Processor or use of a new Sub-Processor by notifying Supplier promptly in writing, and in any case, within ten (10) Business Days after provision by Supplier of its updated list. Customer shall provide reasonable grounds for its objection, which must relate to compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws. In the event Customer fails to object in the foregoing timeframe, such Sub-Processor(s) shall be deemed to be accepted by Customer and added to Part C.
-
In the event Customer reasonably objects to the replacement or use
of new Sub-Processor(s), as permitted in Section 7(a), Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid processing of Protected Data by the objected-to replacement or new Sub-Processor(s). If Supplier does not or is unable to make available such change within a reasonable time frame, Customer may terminate the applicable part of the Services which cannot be provided by Supplier without the use of the objected-to replacement or new Sub-Processor(s), upon providing thirty (30) Business Days written notice to Supplier. Termination of affected Service by Customer shall be deemed a termination for convenience by Customer and shall not impact Customer’s payment obligations under the Agreements.
-
Prior to the relevant Sub-Processor(s) carrying out any processing
activities in respect of the Protected Data, Supplier shall ensure that each such Sub-Processor(s) is bound by a written contract containing materially the same obligations as under this Schedule that is enforceable by Supplier. Supplier shall: (i) remain fully liable to the Customer under this Schedule for all the acts and omissions of each Sub-Processor as if they were its own (but not to a greater extent than that); and (ii) ensure that all persons authorised by Supplier (including Supplier’s personnel) or any Sub-Processor to process Protected Data are subject to a binding written contractual obligation to keep the Protected Data confidential.
Data Subjects Rights
-
Supplier shall (at the Customer’s cost) assist Customer in ensuring
compliance with Customer’s obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR (and any similar obligations under the Applicable Privacy Laws) taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Supplier. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Supplier shall (at the Customer’s cost) assist Customer by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the Customer’s obligations to respond to requests for exercising the Data Subjects’ rights under Chapter III of the GDPR (and any similar obligations under Applicable Privacy Laws) in respect of any Protected Data, as this relates to Protected Data.
-
Supplier shall promptly notify the Customer if it receives a request
from a Data Subject under any Data Protection Law in respect of Customer’s Personal Data; and ensure that it does not respond to that request except on the documented instructions of the Customer or as required by applicable laws to which Supplier is subject, in which case Supplier shall to the extent permitted by applicable laws inform Customer of that legal requirement before responding to the request.
International transfers
Supplier shall not process and/or transfer, or otherwise directly or indirectly disclose, any Protected Data under Applicable Privacy Laws in or to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) including the UK from 1st of July 2021) (unless Customer or Data Subject is based outside of the EEA without the prior written authorisation of the Customer, unless Supplier has implemented one of the safeguards set out in Chapter V (Articles 44-50) of the GDPR (including use of the Standard Contractual Clauses listed in the Annex) prior to such processing/transfer taking place. If the transfer is required by law, Supplier will inform the Customer of the legal requirement before such transfer. Due to the applicable processing activities between them, and where required under Applicable Privacy Laws, the parties will enter into and duly execute the relevant Standard Contractual Clauses (namely, the Processor-Controller or Controller-Controller Standard Contractual Clauses: refers to modules 1 and 4 in the Annex).
Audits and processing
Supplier shall, in accordance with Applicable Privacy Laws, make available to Customer such information that is in its possession or control as is necessary to demonstrate Supplier’s compliance with the obligations placed on it under this Schedule and to demonstrate compliance with the obligations on each party imposed by Article 28 of the GDPR (and under any equivalent Applicable Privacy Laws equivalent to that Article 28) for any Protected Data, and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, by Customer (or another auditor mandated by Customer) for this purpose (subject to a maximum of one audit request in any 12-month period, and provided that such audit is conducted on reasonable notice, during normal business hours in the United Kingdom, and results in minimal disruption to Supplier’s business, except where the audit relates to or follows a Personal Data Breach ).
Personal Data Breach
Supplier shall notify Customer without undue delay and in writing on becoming aware of any Personal Data Breach in respect of any Protected Data and provide all information that Supplier considers Customer would reasonably require in order to handle such Personal Data Breach. Supplier shall cooperate with Customer and take reasonable commercial steps as are directed by Customer to assist in the investigation, mitigation and remediation of each such Personal Data Breach.
Deletion/Return
-
Upon termination of provision of the Services under the Agreement
