Relationship of the Parties; Processing of Data

2.1
The parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the processing of Personal Data, Subscriber may act either as a controller or processor and, except as expressly set forth in this Addendum or the Agreement, Company is a processor. Subscriber shall, in its use of the Services, at all times process Personal Data, and provide instructions for the processing of Personal Data, in compliance with Data Protection Laws. Subscriber shall ensure that the processing of Personal Data in accordance with Subscriber’s instructions will not cause Company to be in breach of the Data Protection Laws.  Subscriber is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of (i) the Personal Data provided to Company by or on behalf of Subscriber, (ii) the means by which Subscriber acquired any such Personal Data, and (iii) the instructions it provides to Company regarding the processing of such Personal Data. Subscriber shall not provide or make available to Company any Personal Data in violation of the Agreement or otherwise inappropriate for the nature of the Services, and shall indemnify Company from all claims and losses in connection therewith.

2.2
Company shall not process Personal Data (i) for purposes other than those set forth in the Agreement and/or Exhibit A, (ii) in a manner inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and/or Addendum or, in respect of any personal data processed by the Company as a data processor / service provider,  any other documented instructions provided by Subscriber, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organization, unless required to do so by Supervisory Authority to which the Company is subject; in such a case, the Company shall inform the Subscriber of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest, or (iii) in violation of Data Protection Laws.  Subscriber hereby instructs Company to process Personal Data in accordance with the foregoing and as part of any processing initiated by Subscriber in its use of the Services.

2.3
The subject matter, nature, purpose, and duration of this processing, as well as the types of Personal Data collected and categories of Data Subjects, are described in Exhibit A to this Addendum.

2.4
Following completion of the Services, Company shall delete Subscriber’s Personal Data that it processes as a data processor / service provider on behalf the Subscriber, unless further storage of such Personal Data is required or authorized by applicable law. If destruction is impracticable or prohibited by law, rule or regulation, Company shall take measures to block such Personal Data from any further processing (except to the extent necessary for its continued hosting or processing required by law, rule or regulation) and shall continue to appropriately protect such Personal Data remaining in its possession, custody, or control. If Subscriber and Company have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6.2.2, 6.2.3, 6.5.2 and 6.5.3 (Transfers of Personal Data), the parties agree that the certification of deletion of Personal Data that is described in Clause 8.5 of the SCCs (as applicable) shall be provided by Company to Subscriber only upon Subscriber’s request.

2.5
CCPA. Except with respect to Subscriber Account Data and Subscriber Usage Data, the parties acknowledge and agree that Company is a service provider for the purposes of the CCPA (to the extent it applies) and is receiving personal information from Subscriber in order to provide the Services pursuant to the Agreement, which constitutes a business purpose.  Company shall not sell any such personal information. Company shall not retain, use or disclose any personal information provided by Subscriber pursuant to the Agreement except as necessary for the specific purpose of performing the Services for Subscriber pursuant to the Agreement, or otherwise as set forth in the Agreement or as permitted by the CCPA.  The terms “personal information,” “service provider,” “sale,” and “sell” are as defined in Section 1798.140 of the CCPA. Company certifies that it understands the restrictions of this Section 2.5.

3. Confidentiality

Company shall ensure that any person it authorizes to process Personal Data has agreed to protect Personal Data in accordance with Company’s confidentiality obligations in the Agreement. Subscriber agrees that Company may disclose Personal Data to its advisers, auditors or other third parties as reasonably required in connection with the provisions of this Addendum, the Agreement, and/or the provision of Services to Subscriber.  

4. Authorized Sub-Processors

4.1
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Company may (1) engage its affiliates and the Authorized Sub-Processors on the List (defined below) to access and process Personal Data in connection with the Services and (2) from time to time engage additional third parties for the purpose of providing the Services and/or the processing of Personal Data. By way of this Addendum, Subscriber provides general written authorization to Company, where it acts as a data processor, to engage sub-processors as necessary to perform the Services.

4.2
A list of Company’s current Authorized Sub-Processors (the “List”) is available at this following: Subprocessors. Such List may be updated by Company from time to time and Subscriber will be notified of any addition. Company will provide a mechanism to subscribe to notifications (which may include but are not limited to email) of new Authorized Sub-Processors and Subscriber, if it wishes, will subscribe to such notifications where available. Subscriber may subscribe to such notifications by sending an email to infosec@creovai.com with addresses to be notified. If Subscriber does not subscribe to such notifications, Subscriber will have waived any right it may have to prior notice of changes to Authorized Sub-Processors.  At least ten (10) days before enabling any third party other than existing Authorized Sub-Processors to access or participate in the processing of Personal Data, Company will add such third party to the List and notify Subscriber via the aforementioned notifications. Subscriber may object to such an engagement by informing Company in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of the aforementioned notice by Subscriber, provided such objection is in writing and based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. Subscriber acknowledges that certain sub-processors are essential to providing the Services and that objecting to the use of a sub-processor may prevent Company from offering the Services to Subscriber.

4.3
If Subscriber reasonably objects to an engagement in accordance with Section 4.2, and Company cannot provide a commercially reasonable alternative within a reasonable period of time, Subscriber may discontinue the use of the affected Service by providing written notice to Company.  Discontinuation shall not relieve Subscriber of any fees owed to Company under the Agreement.

4.4
If Subscriber does not object to the engagement of a third party in accordance with Section 4.2 within ten (10) days of notice by Company, that third party will be deemed an Authorized Sub-Processor for the purposes of this Addendum.

4.5
Company will enter into a written agreement with the Authorized Sub-Processor imposing on the Authorized Sub-Processor data protection obligations comparable to those imposed on Company under this Addendum with respect to the protection of Personal Data.  In case an Authorized Sub-Processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement with Company, Company will remain liable to Subscriber for the performance of the Authorized Sub-Processor’s obligations under such agreement.

4.6
If Subscriber and Company have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers of Personal Data), (i) the above authorizations will constitute Subscriber’s prior written consent to the subcontracting by Company of the processing of Personal Data if such consent is required under the Standard Contractual Clauses, and (ii) the parties agree that the copies of the agreements with Authorized Sub-Processors that must be provided by Company to Subscriber pursuant to Clause 9(c) of the  SCCs may have commercial information, or information unrelated to the Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent, removed by the Company beforehand, and that such copies will be provided by the Company only upon request by Subscriber.

5. Security of Personal Data 

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, Company shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing Personal Data.

The Data Importer shall implement (to the extent not already in place) the following organisational measures:

  • the adoption of internal policies with clear allocation of responsibilities for data transfers, reporting channels and standard operating procedures for cases of covert or official requests from public authorities to access the data;
  • specific training procedures for personnel in charge of managing requests for access to personal data from public authorities. Such training will take into account the legislation and regulations to which the data importer is subject;
  • the adoption of strict and granular data access and confidentiality policies and best practices, based on a strict need-to-know principle, monitored with regular audits and enforced through disciplinary measures;
  • the adoption of best practices to appropriately and timely involve and provide access to information to the legal and internal auditing teams on matters related to international transfers of personal data transfers, who shall be consulted on the necessity of the transfer and the additional safeguards, if any;
  • the adoption of strict data security and data privacy policies, based on international standards and industry best practices; and
  • the regular review of internal policies to assess the suitability of the implemented supplementary measures and identify and implement additional or alternative solutions when necessary, to ensure that an equivalent level of protection to that guaranteed within the UK and EEA of the personal data transferred is maintained; and

6.7.5
The Data Exporter and Data Importer will meet as needed to consider whether:

  • the protection afforded by the laws of the country of the Data Importer to data subjects whose Personal Data is being transferred is sufficient to provide broadly equivalent protection to that afforded in the EEA or the UK, whichever the case may be;
  • additional measures are reasonably necessary to enable the transfer to be compliant with the Data Protection Laws; and
  • it is still appropriate for Personal Data to be transferred to the relevant Data Importer, taking into account all relevant information available to the parties, together with guidance provided by the supervisory authorities.

6.7.6
If Data Protection Laws require the Data Exporter to execute the Standard Contractual Clauses applicable to a particular transfer of Personal Data to a Data Importer as a separate agreement, the Data Importer shall, on request of the Data Exporter, promptly execute such Standard Contractual Clauses incorporating such amendments as may reasonably be required by the Data Exporter to reflect the applicable appendices and annexes, the details of the transfer and the requirements of the relevant Data Protection Laws.

If Company receives a Data Subject Request in relation to Subscriber’s data, Company will advise the Data Subject to submit their request to Subscriber and Subscriber will be responsible for responding to such request. Subscriber is solely responsible for ensuring that Data Subject Requests for erasure, restriction or cessation of processing, or withdrawal of consent to processing of any Personal Data are communicated to Company, and, if applicable, for ensuring that a record of consent to processing is maintained with respect to each Data Subject.
