CONTROLLER AND PROCESSOR OF PERSONAL DATA AND PURPOSE OF THE PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING
1. Customer will at all times remain the Controller for the purposes of provision of Services by Syncron. Customer is responsible for compliance with its obligations as a Controller under Data Protection Laws and Regulations, in particular for justification of any transmission of Personal Data to Syncron (including providing any required notices and obtaining any required consents and authorizations), and for its decisions and actions concerning the Processing and use of the Personal Data. Customer shall, in its use of the Services, Process Personal Data in accordance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws and Regulations. Customer may provide instructions in writing to Syncron with regard to Processing of Personal Data. Syncron will comply with all such instructions without additional charge to the extent necessary for Syncron to comply with its obligations as a Processor in the performance of the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer’s instructions for the Processing of Personal Data shall comply with Data Protection Laws and Regulations. Syncron will notify the Customer promptly if, in Syncron’s opinion, an instruction for the Processing of Customer’s Personal Data given by the Customer infringes applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations. Customer shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Personal Data and the means by which Customer acquired Personal Data. Customer, on behalf of itself and of any Authorized Affiliate, instructs Syncron (and authorizes Syncron to instruct each Third-Party Sub-processor) to process Personal Data and transfer Personal Data to any country or territory as reasonably necessary for the provision of the Services set forth in the Agreement and warrants and represents that it is and will at all relevant times remain duly and effectively authorized to give the instruction set out above on behalf of each Authorized Affiliate. Customer acknowledges that its use of the Services will not violate the rights of any Data Subject that has opted-out from sales or other disclosures of Personal Data so far as applicable under the CCPA or other Data Protection Laws and Regulations.
2. For the purposes of provision of the Services set forth in the Agreement, Syncron is a Processor, and Syncron or Syncron Affiliates may engage Third-Party Sub-processors in accordance with this DPA. Syncron will Process Personal Data as necessary for the provision of the Services set forth in the Agreement, and will not otherwise (i) Process or use Personal Data for purposes other than those set forth in the Agreement or as instructed by Customer in good faith, or (ii) disclose such Personal Data to third parties other than Syncron Affiliates or Third- Party Sub-processors for the aforementioned purposes or as required as required by Data Protection Laws and Regulations.
3. Syncron shall treat Personal Data as confidential information and shall only Process Personal Data on behalf of and in accordance with Customer’s documented instructions for the following purposes: (i) Processing in accordance with the DPA and the Agreement to fulfil Syncron’s obligations arising therefrom, in particular to ensure secure access to and usage of the Services by authorized Users and to provide support; (ii) Processing initiated by Users in their use of the Services; and (iii) Processing to comply with other documented reasonable instructions provided by Customer (e.g., via email) where such instructions are consistent with the terms of the Agreement.
4. Syncron will comply with applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations to the extent that such laws by their terms impose obligations directly upon Syncron as a Processor in connection with the Services provided to the Customer.
5. With effect from May 25, 2018, Syncron Processes Personal Data in accordance with the GDPR requirements directly applicable to Syncron’s provision of its Services. Upon Customer’s request, Syncron shall provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance needed to fulfil Customer’s obligations and tasks under the GDPR to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to Customer’s use of the Services, to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to Syncron.
6. The parties acknowledge and agree that, by executing the Agreement, the Customer enters into the DPA on behalf of itself and, as applicable, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, thereby establishing a separate DPA between Syncron and each such Authorized Affiliate subject to the provisions of the Agreement and this DPA. Customer warrants that Customer’s entry into this DPA as an agent for each Authorized Affiliate will have been duly authorized by each Authorized Affiliate and that each Authorized Affiliate agrees to be bound by the obligations under this DPA and, to the extent applicable, the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, an Authorized Affiliate is not and does not become a party to the Agreement and will be only deemed as a party to the DPA. All access to and use of the Services and its content by Authorized Affiliates must comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and any violation of the terms and conditions of the Agreement by an Authorized Affiliate shall be deemed a violation by Customer.
CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA AND DATA SUBJECTS
1. In order to execute the Agreement, and in particular to perform the Services, Customer authorizes and requests that Syncron Processes the following:
  
  Categories of Personal Data: Personal Data may include, among other information, personal contact information such as name, company address, telephone or mobile number, fax number, email address; employment details including employer’s name, job title, identification numbers; user ID, location data; connection data; device specific information, IP addresses, and online behavior data (as applicable).
  
  Categories of Data Subjects: Data subjects may include administrators and users of Services, such as employees, contractors of Customer and its Authorized Affiliates; collaborators, partners, dealers, suppliers and their respective employees and contractors, and other users of the Customer (as applicable).

RIGHTS OF DATASUBJECTS

As further set out in Chapter III of the GDPR and as otherwise set out by applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, a Data Subject has certain rights (e.g. information and access to personal data, rectification and erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, right to object and automated individual decision-making). The Controller is obliged to facilitate the exercise of these data subject rights under articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR. The Processor shall assist the Controller by appropriate technical and organizational measures, for the fulfilment of the controller’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject’s rights laid down in Chapter III of the GDPR.

Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Syncron shall assist Customer, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligation to respond to a Request under Data Protection Laws and Regulations.

PERSONNEL

Customer agrees to the processing of Personal Data by sub-processors presented therein as of the date of entering into the underlying master subscription agreement.
2. Customer acknowledges and authorizes Syncron to (a) retain Syncron’s Affiliates as sub-processors; and to (b) appoint (and permit each Syncron Affiliate and any Third-Party Sub-processor to appoint) Third-Party Sub- processors in connection with the provision of the Services (in accordance with this DPA).
3. The Syncron Affiliates and Third-Party Sub-processors are required to abide by substantially the same obligations as Syncron under this DPA as applicable to their Processing of Personal Data. Syncron or a Syncron Affiliate should enter into a written agreement with each Third-Party Sub-processor containing data protection obligations, which offer at least the same level of protection for Personal Data as those set out in this DPA and meet the requirements of article 28(3) of the GDPR to the extent applicable to the nature of the Services provided by such Third-Party Sub-processor.
4. Syncron shall notify the Customer about appointment of any new Third-Party Sub-processor, including about the purpose of the Processing to be undertaken by the Third-Party Sub-processor, by sending a notification to Customer’s primary contact or, on Customer request, to a dedicated e-mail address submitted here . Customer may object to Syncron’s use of a given Third-Party Sub-processor by sending the objection in writing within 14 days’ from receiving the notification from Syncron. Objection shall be provided to Syncron via this form and shall include reasonable grounds for objection. In the event Customer objects to a Third-Party Sub-processor, the parties will come together in good faith to discuss a resolution. Syncron will use reasonable efforts to recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to Third-Party Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening Customer.
5. Syncron remains responsible at all times for compliance with the terms of this DPA by Syncron’s Affiliates and Third-Party Sub-processors to the same extent Syncron would be liable if performing the services of each sub- processor directly under the terms of this DPA.

  3. For transfer from Syncron and/or Syncron Affiliates to Third-Party Sub-processors, in addition to the agreement referred to in sec. 6.3 above, Syncron or Syncron Affiliate has entered or will enter into the unchanged version of the Standard Contractual Clauses prior to the Third-Party Sub-processor’s Processing of Personal Data (unless other lawful transfer mechanism is established). Customer hereby (itself as well as on behalf of each data controller) accedes to the Standard Contractual Clauses between Syncron and the Third-Party Sub-processors located outside of the EEA or Switzerland.

HAVE AGREED on the following Contractual Clauses (the Clauses) in order to adduce adequate safeguards with respect to the protection of privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals for the transfer by the data exporter to the data importer of the personal data specified in Appendix 1.

Background

The data exporter has entered into a data processing addendum (“DPA”) with the data importer. Pursuant to the terms of the DPA, it is contemplated that services provided by the data importer which are subject to the DPA (‘the services’) will involve the transfer of personal data to data importer. Data importer is located in a country not ensuring an adequate level of data protection. To ensure compliance with Directive 95/46/EC and applicable data protection law, the controller agrees to the provision of such services, including the processing of personal data incidental thereto, subject to the data importer’s execution of, and compliance with, the terms of these Clauses.

Clause 1

Definitions

For the purposes of the Clauses:

(a) ‘personal data’, ‘special categories of data’, ‘process/processing’, ‘controller’, ‘processor’, ‘data subject’ and ‘supervisory authority’ shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data; [If these Clauses are governed by a law which extends the protection of data protection laws to corporate persons, the words “except that, if these Clauses govern a transfer of data relating to identified or identifiable corporate (as well as natural) persons, the definition of “personal data” is expanded to include those data” are added.]

(b) ‘the data exporter‘ means the controller who transfers the personal data;

(c) ‘the data importer‘ means the processor who agrees to receive from the data exporter personal data intended for processing on his behalf after the transfer in accordance with his instructions and the terms of the Clauses and who is not subject to a third country’s system ensuring adequate protection within the meaning of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC;

(d) ‘the subprocessor‘ means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other subprocessor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other subprocessor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms of the Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract;

(e) ‘the applicable data protection law‘ means the legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and, in particular, their right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data applicable to a data controller in the Member State in which the data exporter is established;

(f) ‘technical and organisational security measures‘ means those measures aimed at protecting personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing.

Clause 2

Details of the transfer

The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.

Clause 3

Third-party beneficiary clause

The data subject can enforce against the data exporter this Clause, Clause 4(b) to (i), Clause 5(a) to (e), and (g) to (j), Clause 6(1) and (2), Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12 as third-party beneficiary.
The data subject can enforce against the data importer this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where the data exporter has factually disappeared or has ceased to exist in law unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity.
The data subject can enforce against the subprocessor this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
The parties do not object to a data subject being represented by an association or other body if the data subject so expressly wishes and if permitted by national law.

Clause 4

Obligations of the data exporter

The data exporter agrees and warrants:

(a) that the processing, including the transfer itself, of the personal data has been and will continue to be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the applicable data protection law (and, where applicable, has been notified to the relevant authorities of the Member State where the data exporter is established) and does not violate the relevant provisions of that State;

(b) that it has instructed and throughout the duration of the personal data processing services will instruct the data importer to process the personal data transferred only on the data exporter’s behalf and in accordance with the applicable data protection law and the Clauses;

(c) that the data importer will provide sufficient guarantees in respect of the technical and organisational security measures specified in Appendix (Schedule) 2 to this contract;
