(“Customer” or “Data Controller“) acting on its own behalf and as an agent for each Customer Affiliate.
This Addendum and its provisions should apply only if the Applicable Data Protection Legislation requires the Parties to sign such Addendum.
The terms used in this Addendum shall have the meanings set forth in this Addendum. Capitalised terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Agreement. Except as modified below, the terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
In consideration of the mutual obligations set out herein, the parties agree that the terms and conditions set out below shall be added as an Addendum to the Agreement. Except where the context requires otherwise, references in this Addendum to the Agreement are to the Agreement as amended, and including, this Addendum.
In this Addendum, the following terms shall have the meanings set out below and cognate terms shall be construed accordingly:
“Contracted Processor” means OGY’s Sub-processor;
“Customer Personal Data” means any Personal Data which may be processed by OGY or a Contracted Processor on behalf of Customer, pursuant to or in connection with the Agreement; For the avoidance of doubt, Costumer’s business contact information is not by itself deemed to be Personal Data subject to this DPA.
“EU” means the European Union;
“EEA” means the European Economic Area. The GDPR applies to the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes all EU countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway;
“Services” means the services as defined in the Agreement;
“Sub-processor” means any person (excluding an employee of OGY or any of its sub- contractors) appointed by or on behalf of OGY to Process Personal Data on behalf of Customer in connection with the Agreement;
“Supervisory Authority” means (a) an independent public authority which is established by a member state of the European Union pursuant to Article 51 GDPR; and (b) any similar regulatory authority responsible for the enforcement of Data Protection Legislation; and
The terms “Controller“, “Processor“, “Data Subject“, “Member State“, “Personal Data“, “Personal Data Breach“, and “Processing” shall have the same meaning as in the GDPR, and their cognate terms shall be construed accordingly.
The parties acknowledge that Customer is the Controller and that OGY is acting in the capacity of a Processor. In some circumstances, Customer may additionally or alternatively be a Processor, in which case Customer appoints OGY as an authorised sub-processor, which shall not change the obligations of the parties under this Addendum as OGY will remain a Processor in any such event. Customer will comply with all obligations applicable to a Controller pursuant to the Data Protection Legislation. For clarity, this DPA shall not apply with respect to OGY processing activity as a Data Controller with respect to OGY’s data as defined in the Agreement which is subject to Privacy Policy on WAVE BL Website https://wavebl.com/wave-bl-privacy-policy/.
OGY shall process Customer’s Personal Data on the documented instructions of Customer, unless otherwise required by an Data Protection Legislation to which OGY is subject. In which case, OGY shall notify Customer if, in its opinion, any instruction infringes the GDPR or other Union or Member State data protection provisions, unless that law prohibits such notification. Such notification will not constitute a general obligation on the part of OGY to monitor or interpret the laws applicable to Customer, and such notification will not constitute legal advice to Customer.
Customer warrants and represents that it is and will, at all relevant times, remain duly and effectively authorised to give the instruction set out in Section 2.2, including on behalf of each relevant Customer Affiliate.
Customer warrants that it has all the necessary rights to provide the Personal Data to OGY for the Processing to be performed in relation to the Services, and that one or more lawful bases set forth in the Data Protection Legislation support the lawfulness of the Processing. To the extent required by the Data Protection Legislation, Customer is responsible for ensuring that all necessary privacy notices are provided to Data Subjects, and unless another legal bases set forth in the Data Protection Legislation supports the lawfulness of the processing, that any necessary Data subject consents to the Processing are obtained, and for ensuring that a record of such consent is maintained. Should such consent be revoked by a Data Subject, Customer is responsible for communicating the fact of such revocation to OGY, and OGY will act pursuant to Customer’s instructions as seems appropriate.
Annex 1 to this Addendum sets out certain information as required by Article 28(3) of the GDPR according to, Personal Data may be processed by OGY. Customer warrants it is an accurate reflection of the Processing activities pursuant to this Addendum and the Agreement. The nature of the Processing operations will depend on the scope of the Services and the nature of the Personal Data that Customer provides in its sole discretion, in a manner by which OGY finds appropriate to provide the required Services.
Without prejudice to any existing contractual arrangements between the parties, OGY shall ensure that any person that it authorises to Process the Personal Data on its behalf, shall be subject to a duty of confidentiality.
Taken into account the measures required by Article 32 of the GDPR, and the state of the art, the costs of implementation and nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural person, OGY shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security of the Processing of Personal Data appropriate to the risk. Such measures may be updated by OGY from time to time, provided that such updates shall not materially decrease the protection of Personal Data for Data Subjects.
Customer acknowledges that the security requirements are constantly changing and that effective security requires frequent evaluation and regular improvements of outdated security measures. Customer will therefore evaluate the measures as implemented in accordance with section 4 on an on-going basis in order to maintain compliance with the requirements set forth in this section. The parties will negotiate in good faith, the cost, if any, to implement changes required by specific updated security requirements set forth in the Data Protection Legislation or by data protection authorities of competent jurisdiction.
Customer authorises OGY to appoint (and permit each Sub-processor to appoint) Sub-processors in accordance with this Addendum and any restrictions in the Agreement.
Customer hereby authorises OGY to continue to use Sub-processors already engaged by OGY, as of the date of this Addendum and as listed under Annex 2 (“Authorised Sub-Processors“).
OGY shall inform Customer as soon as reasonably practicable of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of any of the Authorised Sub-Processors that will Process any Customer Personal Data (“New Sub-Processor“). If, within 14 calendar days of receipt of that notice, Customer notifies OGY in writing of any objections made on reasonable grounds, to the proposed appointment of a New Sub-Processor, the parties will endeavour to agree (acting reasonably), without undue delay, the commercially reasonable steps to be taken to ensure that the new Sub-processor is compliant with Article 28(4) of the GDPR.
In the absence of a resolution, OGY will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with the same level of Service described in the Agreement, without using the objected Sub-Processor to process Customer’s Personal Data.
Where Customer reasonably argues, that the risks involved with the sub-processing activities are still unacceptable, in the context of Article 28(4) and in relation to the appropriate steps, within the requisite time frame, the parties shall promptly seek to resolve the issues. Where the parties are unable to resolve the issues within such time frame, Customer’s sole remedy will be to terminate the Agreement.
With respect to each Sub-processors, OGY shall ensure that the sub-processor is bound by data protection obligations compatible with those of the Data Processor under this Addendum.
Customer shall comply with requests received from Data Subjects to exercise their rights pursuant to Chapter III of the GDPR, with regard to accessing Customer’s Personal Data held by Customer.
When Customer is unable to perform according to section 6.1, and therefore requires OGY’s assistance, while taking into account the nature of the Processing, OGY shall assist Customer, upon Customer’s request and at the Customer’s cost, by using appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible to comply with requests to exercise Data Subject rights, under the Data Protection Legislation.
When OGY becomes aware of an incident that has a material impact on the Processing of Personal Data that is the subject to the Agreement, it shall notify Customer about the incident. OGY shall cooperate with Customer and follow Customer’s instructions with regard to such incidents, to enable Customer to perform an investigation into the incident, formulate a correct response and take suitable further steps in respect to the incident.
Where the incident is reasonably likely to require a data breach notification by Customer under the Data Protection Legislation, OGY will assist Customer with the notification process.
On the basis of such notification, where applicable Customer shall notify the Personal Data Breach to the competent Supervisory Authority in accordance with Article 33 of the GDPR and communicate such a breach affected Data Subjects in accordance with Article 34 of the GDPR.
OGY shall, at Customer’s cost, cooperate with Customer and take the reasonable commercial steps which shall reasonably be instructed by Customer, to assist in the investigation and mitigation of every occurring Personal Data Breach.
Subject to section 8.3, Customer may in its discretion by written notice to OGY within 30 calendar days of the cessation date, require OGY to (a) return a complete copy of all Customer’s Personal Data to the Customer; and (b) delete all other copies of Customer’s Personal Data Processed by any Contracted Processor. OGY shall comply with any such written request within 60 calendar days of the cessation date.
OGY shall notify the relevant Contracted Processors, processing Personal Data on its behalf, of the termination of the Addendum.
OGY and each Contracted Processor may retain Customer’s Personal Data to the extent and for such period as required by Data Protection Legislation.
Subject to section 9.2 and 9.3, OGY shall make available to Customer upon a reasonable request, information which is reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with Article 28(3) of the GDPR.
Where applicable, if Customer is not otherwise satisfied by its audit rights pursuant to the Agreement, OGY shall, at the Customer’s costs, allow for audits, including inspections, by an auditor mandated by Customer (subject to section 9.3 where auditor shall be subject to written confidentiality obligations in relation to such information) in relation to the Processing of the Customer’s Personal Data by OGY or a Contracted Processors, provided that:
Customer shall give OGY a reasonable notice of any audit or inspection to be conducted; and
Customer shall take reasonable steps to ensure (and shall procure that each of its mandated auditors) to minimize disruption to OGY or the Contracted Processors’ business, in the
course of such audit or inspection, while such audits or inspections shall be conducted during normal working hours.
