Data Processing Addendum

WHEREAS

Your company act as a Data Controller (the "Controller").

Your company wishes to subcontract certain Services (as defined below), which imply the processing of personal data via the Malcolm! application to Acknowledgement Limited acting as a Data Processor (the “Processor”).

The Parties seek to implement a data processing agreement that complies with the requirements of the current legal framework in relation to data processing and with the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation).

The Parties wish to lay down their rights and obligations.

Definitions and Interpretation

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms and expressions used in this DPA shall have the following meaning:

The terms, “Commission”, “Controller”, “Data Subject”, “Member State”, “Personal Data”, “Personal Data Breach”, “Processing” and “Supervisory Authority” shall have the same meaning as in the GDPR, and their cognate terms shall be construed accordingly.

Processing of Company Personal Data

Processor shall:

Controller instructs Processor to process Company Personal Data to provide the Services and related technical support.

Processor Personnel

Processor shall take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of any employee, agent or contractor of any Contracted Processor who may have access to Company Personal Data, ensuring in each case that access is strictly limited to those individuals who need to know / access the relevant Company Personal Data, as strictly necessary for the purposes of the Principal Agreement, and to comply with Applicable Laws in the context of that individual’s duties to the Contracted Processor, ensuring that all such individuals are subject to confidentiality undertakings or professional or statutory obligations of confidentiality.

Security

Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Processor shall in relation to the Company Personal Data implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to that risk, including, as appropriate, the measures referred to in Article 32(1) of the GDPR.

In assessing the appropriate level of security, Processor shall take account in particular of the risks that are presented by Processing, in particular from a Personal Data Breach.

Sub-processing

The Controller agrees to the commissioning of the following sub-processors on the condition of a contractual agreement in accordance with Applicable Law:

The Controller grants the Processor general authorization to engage sub-processors to provide the Services provided that the Processor and sub-processor enter into a contract on terms that guarantee that any Processing will meet the requirements of Applicable Law and the Processor will keep the Controller informed of any intended changes to sub-processors giving the Controller an opportunity to object in writing or text form within 10 business days. The Controller shall not unreasonably object to any sub-processor engaged in accordance with this clause.

The Processor shall be liable to the Controller for the performance of sub-processor’s obligations.

The Controller is able to independently connect third party services to their Malcolm! instance via integration and/or webhook and/or embed functionality. This functionality has the potential to transfer end user personal data from the Malcolm! application to other data processors. Any third party service initiated and enabled by the Controller and used in this way constitutes a distinct and separate data processor relationship between the Controller and the third party service. Controller added services are not a sub-processor to Acknowledgement Limited. It is the Controller’s responsibility to satisfy themselves that their use of the third party services in this manner adheres to their responsibilities under applicable Data Protection Laws.

Data Subject Rights

Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Processor shall assist Controller by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Controller obligations, as reasonably understood by Controller, to respond to requests to exercise Data Subject rights under the Data Protection Laws.

Processor shall:

Personal Data Breach

Processor shall notify Controller without undue delay upon Processor becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Company Personal Data, providing Controller with sufficient information to allow Controller to meet any obligations to report or inform Data Subjects of the Personal Data Breach under the Data Protection Laws.

Processor shall co-operate with Controller and take reasonable commercial steps as are directed by Controller to assist in the investigation, mitigation and remediation of each such Personal Data Breach.

Data Protection Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation

Processor shall provide reasonable assistance to Controller with any data protection impact assessments, and prior consultations with Supervising Authorities or other competent data privacy authorities, which Controller reasonably considers to be required by article 35 or 36 of the GDPR or equivalent provisions of any other Data Protection Law, in each case solely in relation to Processing of Company Personal Data by, and taking into account the nature of the Processing and information available to, the Contracted Processors.

Deletion or return of Company Personal Data

Subject to this section 9 Processor shall, after allowing a recovery period of up to 30 days, and in any event within 180 days of the date of cessation of any Services involving the Processing of Company Personal Data (the "Cessation Date") delete and procure the deletion of all copies of those Company Personal Data.

For on demand data deletion requests received via the Malcolm! application control panel (which may relate to a portion or subset of data held) Processor shall, after allowing a recovery period of up to 30 days, and in any event within 180 days of the date of request delete and procure the deletion of all copies of the applicable Company Personal Data (as identified in the request).

Audit rights

Subject to this section 10, Processor shall make available to Controller on request all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement, and shall allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, by Controller or an auditor mandated by Controller in relation to the Processing of the Company Personal Data by the Contracted Processors.

Information and audit rights of Controller only arise under section 10.1 to the extent that the Agreement does not otherwise give them information and audit rights meeting the relevant requirements of Data Protection Law.

Data Transfer

The Processor may not transfer or authorize the transfer of Data to countries outside the EU and/or the European Economic Area (EEA) without the prior written consent of Controller. If personal data processed under this Agreement is transferred from a country within the European Economic Area to a country outside the European Economic Area, the Parties shall ensure that the personal data are adequately protected. To achieve this, the Parties shall, unless agreed otherwise, rely on EU approved standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data.

General Terms

Each Party must keep any information it receives about the other Party and its business in connection with this Agreement ("Confidential Information”) confidential and must not use or disclose that Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the other Party except to the extent that:

Notices. All notices and communications given under this Agreement must be in writing and will be sent by email.
