  • Physical Security: Personal Data is stored in data centers that maintain SOC 2 Type II certification, with physical access controls including biometric authentication, 24/7 surveillance, and environmental protections.
  • Logging and Monitoring: All access to Personal Data is logged and monitored. Logs are retained for a minimum of twelve (12) months and are reviewed regularly for anomalous activity.
  • Employee Security: All employees and contractors with access to Personal Data undergo background checks, receive data protection training, and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
  • Business Continuity: Regular data backups are performed with tested recovery procedures. The Service maintains a disaster recovery plan with a recovery time objective (RTO) of four (4) hours and a recovery point objective (RPO) of one (1) hour.

7. Personal Data Breach Notification

In the event of a Personal Data Breach, the Processor shall:

  • Notify the Controller without undue delay and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours after becoming aware of the Personal Data Breach. The notification shall be sent to the Controller's designated contact email address and, if applicable, through the Service's notification system.

    • A description of the measures taken or proposed to be taken to address the Personal Data Breach, including measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.
  • Cooperate with the Controller and take reasonable commercial steps to assist in the investigation, mitigation, and remediation of the Personal Data Breach.
  • Not notify any third party of the Personal Data Breach without first obtaining the Controller's prior written consent, unless notification is required by applicable law.

8. Data Deletion and Return

Upon termination or expiration of the Terms of Service, or upon the Controller's written request, the Processor shall:

  • Cease all Processing of Personal Data on behalf of the Controller, except as necessary to comply with applicable law.
  • At the Controller's choice, either return all Personal Data to the Controller in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or securely delete all Personal Data from the Processor's systems and those of its Sub-Processors.
  • Complete the return or deletion within thirty (30) days of the termination date or the Controller's request, whichever is applicable.
  • Provide written certification to the Controller confirming that all Personal Data has been returned or deleted, as applicable.
  • Notwithstanding the above, the Processor may retain Personal Data to the extent required by applicable law, provided that the Processor ensures the confidentiality of such Personal Data and processes it only for the purpose required by law.

9. Audit Rights

The Controller has the right to audit the Processor's compliance with this DPA, subject to the following conditions:

  • The Controller shall provide at least thirty (30) days' written notice before conducting an audit, specifying the scope and duration of the proposed audit.
  • Audits shall be conducted during normal business hours and shall not unreasonably interfere with the Processor's operations.
  • The Controller may engage a qualified, independent third-party auditor to conduct the audit on its behalf, provided that the auditor enters into a confidentiality agreement acceptable to the Processor.
  • The Processor shall cooperate with the audit and provide reasonable access to relevant facilities, systems, personnel, and documentation.
  • The Controller shall bear the costs of any audit, unless the audit reveals a material breach of this DPA by the Processor, in which case the Processor shall bear the reasonable costs of the audit.
  • As an alternative to an on-site audit, the Processor may provide the Controller with a copy of its most recent SOC 2 Type II report or equivalent third-party audit certification, which shall satisfy the Controller's audit rights under this section, unless the Controller has reasonable grounds to believe that the certification does not adequately address its concerns.

10. International Data Transfers

The Processor shall not transfer Personal Data to a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom unless appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable data protection law. The following transfer mechanisms are used:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses: Where Personal Data is transferred to Sub-Processors located outside the EEA or UK, the Processor ensures that Standard Contractual Clauses (as approved by the European Commission and/or the UK Information Commissioner's Office) are in place with each Sub-Processor.
  • Adequacy Decisions: Where the European Commission or the UK government has issued an adequacy decision for the recipient country, transfers may rely on such adequacy decision.
  • Supplementary Measures: Where required by the assessment of the laws of the recipient country, the Processor implements supplementary technical and organizational measures to ensure that the level of protection of Personal Data is not undermined, including encryption, pseudonymization, and access controls that prevent access by authorities of the recipient country.

The Processor shall conduct and document transfer impact assessments for all international data transfers and make these assessments available to the Controller upon request.

11. Liability

Each party's liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in the Terms of Service, except that neither party excludes or limits its liability for:

  • Breaches of its obligations under this DPA that result in a fine or penalty imposed by a Supervisory Authority, to the extent that the breach is attributable to the liable party's failure to comply with its obligations.
  • Damages arising from the Processing of Personal Data in violation of the GDPR or UK GDPR, to the extent that the party is responsible for such non-compliant Processing.
  • The Processor's obligation to indemnify the Controller against claims by Data Subjects or Supervisory Authorities arising from the Processor's breach of this DPA or its Processing of Personal Data outside the scope of the Controller's instructions.

The Processor shall be liable for any damage caused by Processing that infringes the GDPR or UK GDPR only where it has not complied with obligations of the GDPR or UK GDPR specifically directed to processors, or where it has acted outside or contrary to lawful instructions of the Controller.

12. Term and Termination

This DPA shall remain in effect for the duration of the Terms of Service. The obligations of the Processor under this DPA shall survive the termination or expiration of the Terms of Service to the extent necessary to complete the return or deletion of Personal Data and to comply with applicable law. The provisions regarding confidentiality, liability, and audit rights shall survive termination indefinitely.
