Processing and Transfer of Personal Data

 

Processor shall process Personal Data in accordance with Customer’s written instructions (unless waived in a written requirement) provided during the term of this DPA. The parties agree that the Agreement, including this DPA, together with Customer’s use of the Processor’s service in accordance with the Agreement, constitute Customer’s complete and final written instruction to Processor in relation to the Processing of Personal Data, and additional instructions outside the scope of these instructions shall require a prior written and mutually executed agreement between Customer and Processor. In the event Processor reasonably believes there is a conflict with any Data Protection Law and Customer’s instructions, Processor will inform Customer promptly and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the conflict and achieve the goals of such instruction.

 

Except for usage of Personal Data as necessary to bring and defend claims, to comply with requirements of the legal process, to cooperate with regulatory authorities, and to exercise other similar permissible uses as expressly provided under Data Protection Laws, Processor shall not retain, use, sell, or disclose the Personal Data that is not de-identified or aggregated for analytics, for any purpose, including other commercial purposes, outside of the direct business relationship with Customer.

 

The parties acknowledge and agree that processing of the Personal Data will occur in the United States and perhaps other jurisdictions outside the residence of the data subjects, and Customer shall comply with all notice and consent requirements for such transfer and processing to the extent required by Data Protection Laws.

Authorized Personnel; Sub-processors. Processor shall ensure that Authorized Personnel have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality with obligations at least as restrictive as those contained in this document. In addition, Processor is authorized to use sub-processors provided that Processor shall enter into an agreement with the sub-processor containing data protection obligations that are at least as restrictive as the obligations under this document.

After confirmation of a Security Breach, Processor will promptly, without undue delay: (a) notify Customer of the Security Breach; (b) investigate the Security Breach; (c) provide Customer with details about the Security Breach; and (d) take reasonable actions to prevent a recurrence of the Security Breach.

An NDA may be required to receive this information.

 

Miscellaneous

 

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and Data Protection Laws, Data Protection Laws shall prevail. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this DPA and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this DPA shall prevail solely to the extent that the subject matter concerns the processing of Personal Data.

 

To the extent that it is determined by any data protection authority that the Agreement or this DPA is insufficient to comply with Data Protection Laws or changes to Data Protection Laws, Customer and Processor agree to cooperate in good faith to amend the Agreement or this DPA or enter into further mutually agreeable data processing agreements in an effort to comply with all Data Protection Laws.

 

Each Party’s liability arising out of or related to this DPA, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the limitations of liability contained in the Agreement.
