Data Processing Addendum

Version 16.0523 Dec 27, 2023        View Previous Versions

Overview

This Data Processing Addendum (this “Addendum”) is part of the Master Terms of Service Agreement (“MSA”) between ID123 Inc, the Service Provider and Client or any other signed agreement between the Parties that incorporates this Addendum by reference and governs the Service Provider’s processing of Personal Data in its capacity as a Processor in connection with the Service Provider’s provision of the Cloud Service it provides pursuant to the MSA. This Addendum shall only apply if the Service Provider and Client have not entered into a separate data processing agreement or similar contractual arrangement with respect to the processing of Personal Data. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings given to them in the MSA. The terms “personal data”, “data subject”, “processing”, “controller”, “processor”, “representative” and “supervisory authority” shall have the meanings given in the GDPR or UK GDPR, as applicable, in each case irrespective of whether Data Protection Law applies.

I. Appointment as Data Processor

The Controller

The Controller appoints the Service Provider as Processor to receive and process Personal Data on the Controller’s behalf only as is necessary to provide the Cloud Service and as may subsequently be agreed to by the parties in writing. The Controller’s instructions for the Processing of Personal Data under or in relation to this Addendum shall comply with Data Protection Laws, as applicable.  The Controller is responsible for ensuring a valid legal basis for processing the Personal Data. The legal entity agreeing to this Addendum as Controller represents that it is authorized to agree to and enter into this Addendum for, and is agreeing to this Addendum solely on behalf of, the Controller.

The Processor

The Processor, shall collect, receive, process and use Personal Data on behalf of and as instructed by the Client as the Controller, in accordance with Data Protection Legislation, as applicable and will not use or process Customer Personal Data for any purpose other than in its capacity as Processor appointed by the Controller.

Processing. The subject matter and details of processing are described in “Section IV Appendix 1” of this Addendum.

II. International Data Transfers

International Data Transfer

Before the Controller transfers Personal Data to the Processor, or permits the Processor to access Personal Data located in a jurisdiction that requires an International Data Transfer Mechanism, the Controller shall verify whether the relevant requirements are met. If they are not met, the parties shall work together in good faith to fulfill the requirements of that International Data Transfer Mechanism. The parties shall institute and comply with any International Data Transfer Mechanism that may be required by applicable Data Protection Law.

International Data Transfer Mechanism

If the Controller is established in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland or the United Kingdom (“UK”) and transfers Personal Data to the Processor, then the Data Transfer Addendum shall: (i) apply to such transfers; (ii) take precedence over all other terms, including the terms of this Agreement, in respect of such transfers; (iii) form a legally binding contract between the data exporter and Processor as or on behalf of the data importer; and (iv) be hereby incorporated into the MSA.

With respect to Personal Data of EEA, Switzerland and UK data subjects, the Parties agree that the Processor may process Personal Data outside the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK only where the Data Protection Law requirements (including, where applicable, Articles 44 through 47 GDPR) are fulfilled, or an exception (including, where applicable, those listed in Article 49 GDPR) applies. With respect to personal data of Brazilian data subjects, the Data Controller agrees that the Service Provider may process Customer Personal Data outside of Brazil, and represents and warrants that such transfer of Customer Personal Data is compliant with the Brazilian data protection law (LGPD).

III. Data Protection

1. Compliance

The parties will comply with their respective obligations under Data Protection Law and their respective privacy notices.

2. Confidentiality

The Processor will restrict access to Personal Data to those authorized persons who need such information to provide the Services. Such authorized persons are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of any Personal Data. The Processor will not publish, disclose, or divulge (and will ensure that its personnel do not publish, disclose, or divulge) Personal Data to a third party unless the Controller has given its prior written consent.

3. Security

The Processor will implement appropriate technical, administrative and organizational measures, as applicable, and as described in “Section V Appendix 2” of this Addendum, required to: (i) ensure a level of confidentiality and security appropriate to the risks represented by the processing and the nature of Personal Data; and (ii) prevent unauthorized or unlawful processing of Personal Data, accidental loss, disclosure or destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data provided by Controller and processed by the Processor. Such security measures will be at least as protective as the security requirements set forth in the MSA. When choosing security controls, the Processor will consider the state of the art, the cost of implementation, the nature, scope, context, and purposes of Personal Data processing, and the risk to data subjects of a security incident or Personal Data Breach affecting Personal Data.

4. Retention

Personal Data received from Client will be retained only for so long as may be reasonably required in connection with the Processor’s performance of the MSA or as otherwise required under Data Protection Law. The Processor’s obligations related to returning or deleting Personal Data will survive termination until all Personal Data has been returned or deleted in accordance with this Addendum.

5. Cooperation

The Processor will cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the Controller’s requests related to data security, data breach notifications, data protection impact assessments and consultation with supervisory authorities and for the fulfillment of the Controller’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising a data subject’s rights under Data Protection Law. The Processor reserves the right to charge the Controller for its reasonable time for such cooperation and for the costs incurred for any special arrangements requested.

6. Third Party Requests

If the Processor receives a request from a data subject or a third party in connection with any government investigation or court proceeding that the Processor believes would require it to produce any Personal Data, the Processor will inform the Controller promptly in writing of such inquiry, request or complaint and cooperate with the Controller if it wishes to limit, challenge or protect against such disclosure, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Processor will assist the Controller, insofar as it is commercially reasonable, to fulfill Controller’s obligation to respond to requests from Data Subjects and supervisory authorities as required by Data Protection Law. The Controller shall be solely responsible for responding to any Data Subjects’ requests and if such request is made directly to the Processor, the Processor will promptly inform the Controller and will advise the Data Subjects to submit their request to the Controller.

7. Instructions from the Client

Notwithstanding anything in the MSA to the contrary, the Processor will only process Personal Data in order to provide the Services to the Controller, in accordance with the Controller’s written instructions, as permitted by the last sentence of Section 8 below, or as required by applicable Law. The Processor will promptly inform the Controller if following an instruction would result in a violation of Data Protection Law or where the Processor must disclose Personal Data in response to a legal obligation (unless the legal obligation prohibits the Processor from making such disclosure).

8. Scope of Processing

The Processor is prohibited from: (a) Selling (as such term is defined in the CCPA) Personal Data, (b) retaining, using, or disclosing Personal Data for any purpose other than for the specific business purpose of performing the Controller’s documented instructions for the business purposes defined in this Addendum, including retaining, using, or disclosing the Personal Data for a commercial purpose other than performing Controller’s instructions, or (c) retaining, using, or disclosing the Personal Data outside of the direct business relationship between the parties as defined in this Agreement. The Processor certifies that it understands these restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Processor may process Personal Data to retain or employ another person as a sub-Processor (as defined in Section10 below) in accordance with this Addendum, for internal use by the Processor to improve the quality of its services (provided that the Processor does not use the Personal Data to perform services on behalf of another person), or to detect data security incidents or protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity.

9. Sensitive Information

The Controller will inform the Processor if Personal Data is Sensitive Data and Controller shall obtain explicit consent from Data Subjects for the transfer of Sensitive Data for processing the extent such consent is required under Data Protection Law.

10. Sub-processors

The Controller grants the Processor general authorization, as a processor, to engage other processors (“Sub-processors”) to assist in providing the Services consistent with the Agreement. The Processor will ensure each Sub-processor only accesses and uses Personal Data to the extent required to perform the obligations subcontracted to it and in accordance with this Addendum. In accordance with Data Protection Laws, the Processor will make a list of such Sub-processors accessible to the Controller in Appendix 3 prior to transferring any Personal Data to such Sub-processors. The Controller may opt-in to be notified by email in writing by the Processor of any changes to the list of Sub-processors by updating such list from time to time in order to give the Controller an opportunity to object to such changes within 30 days after being notified. If the Controller and the Processor are unable to resolve such objection, either Party may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to the other party. The Controller shall have the right to review all sub-Processor’s activities in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation, including the right to obtain information from the Processor, upon written request, on the implementation of the data protection obligations under each Sub-Processing contract.

11. Sub-processor Liability

Where the Processor engages a Sub-processor for carrying out specific processing activities on behalf of the Controller, substantially similar data protection obligations as set out in this Addendum will be imposed on that Sub-processor by way of a contract, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of Data Protection Law. The Processor will be liable for the acts or omissions of its Sub-processors to the same extent as the Processor would be liable if performing the services of the Sub-processor directly.

12. Record keeping

Upon a request issued by a supervisory authority for records regarding Personal Data, the Processor will cooperate to provide the supervisory authority with records related to processing activities performed on the Controller’s behalf, including information on the categories of Personal Data processed and the purposes of the processing, the use of service providers with respect to such processing, any data disclosures or transfers to third parties and a general description of technical and organizational measures to protect the security of such data.

13. Transfer of Personal Data; Appointment

The Controller authorizes the Processor to transfer, store or process Personal Data in the United States or any other country in which the Processor or its Sub-processors maintain facilities. The Controller appoints the Processor to perform any such transfer of Personal Data to any such country and to store and process Personal Data in order to provide the Services. The Processor will conduct all such activity in compliance with the MSA, this Addendum, Data Protection Law, any applicable International Data Transfer Mechanism and Controller instructions.

14. Deletion or Return

Upon completion of Processors obligations in relation to processing of Personal Data under this Agreement or when instructed by the Controller, the Processor will delete any Personal Data or return it to the Controller in a secure manner and delete all remaining copies of Personal Data after such return except where otherwise required under applicable Law. Process will render any Personal Data that cannot be deleted or returned will be anonymous in such a manner that the data no longer constitutes Personal Data. The Processor will relay the Controller’s instructions to all Sub-processors. The Controller may, before termination or expiration and by way of issuing an Instruction, stipulate the reasonable secure method and format to return of any Personal Data before it is deleted. The Controller will be responsible for any additional cost arising in connection with the secure method instructed for the return of Personal Data.

15. Breach Notification

In accordance with Section 7.8.1 of the MSA, after becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach, the Processor will notify the Controller without undue delay of: (a) the nature of the Personal Data Breach; (b) the number and categories of data subjects and data records affected; and (c) the name and contact details for the relevant contact person at the Processor. The Processor shall immediately investigate the Personal Data Breach, to identify, prevent, and mitigate the effects of any such Personal Data Breach, and carry out any recovery or other action necessary to remedy the Personal Data Breach. At the Controller’s request, we will promptly provide all reasonable assistance necessary to enable the notification competent authorities and/or affected Data Subjects of the relevant Security Incident, if Controller is required to do so under Data Protection Legislation.

16. Audits

Upon request and at the Controller’s expense, the Processor will make available to the Controller all information necessary, and allow for and contribute to audits, including reasonable inspections, conducted by the Controller or another auditor mandated by the Controller, to demonstrate compliance with Data Protection Law. For clarity, such audits or inspections are limited to the Processor’s processing of Personal Data for Client only, not any other aspect of the Processor’s business or information systems. If the Controller requires the Processor to contribute to audits or inspections that are necessary to demonstrate compliance, the Controller will provide the Processor with written notice at least 60 days in advance of such audit or inspection. Such written notice will specify the things, people, places or documents to be made available. Such written notice, and anything produced in response to it, will be considered Confidential Information and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the MSA, will remain Confidential Information in perpetuity or the longest time allowable by applicable Law after termination of the MSA. Such materials and derivative work product produced in response to the Controller’s request will not be disclosed to anyone without the prior written permission of the Service Provider unless such disclosure is required by applicable Law. If disclosure is required by applicable Law, the Controller will give the Processor prompt written notice of that requirement and an opportunity to obtain a protective order to prohibit or restrict such disclosure except to the extent such notice is prohibited by applicable Law or order of a court or governmental agency. The Controller will make every effort to cooperate with the Processor to schedule audits or inspections at times that are convenient to the Processor. The Processor may charge a reasonable fee for such requests except where such investigation arises from a breach of its obligations herein, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If, after reviewing the Processor’s response to Client’s audit or inspection request, the Controller requires additional audits or inspections, the Controller acknowledges and agrees that it will be solely responsible for reasonable fees and all costs incurred in relation to such additional audits or inspections.

17. Conflicts

If there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Data Processing Addendum, the Data Transfer Addendum, MSA, Product Addendum, the order of priority will be: the Data Transfer Addendum (but only to the extent it applies under section 6.a above), this Data Processing Addendum, the MSA, Product Addendum. Where individual provisions of this Addendum are invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this Addendum shall not be affected.

18. Changes

The Service Provider may update any part or all of the terms of the Addendum as needed to comply with Data Protection Legislation and will become effective and binding upon on the renewal date of the Client’s next Product Subscription or upon Service Provider’s written agreement, whichever is sooner. If this Addendum is incorporated by reference as a web page URL, the updated version of the Addendum will be posted at the same URL and Controller will be shared with the Controller for approval in writing. If this Addendum is incorporated as part of a commercial agreement executed by the Parties, the updated version of the Addendum will be shared with the Controller for approval in writing. If the Controller does not agree with a modification in writing, the Controller shall notify the Processor in writing and the Parties will work together in good faith form a new mutually acceptable Data Processing Addendum.
