“Processing” has the meaning given to it in the applicable Data Protection Laws and “process”, “processes” and “processed” shall be interpreted accordingly.
“Sub-Processor” means any third party authorised under this DPA to have logical access to and process Customer Data to provide parts of the Services.
“Services” means any product or service provided to Customer and as described in 20i Ltd Terms & Conditions.
Data Processing
20i will only act and process Customer Data in accordance with the documented instruction from Customer (the “Instruction”), unless required by law to act without such Instruction. The Instruction at the time of entering into this DPA is that 20i may only process Customer Data with the purpose of delivering Services as described in its Terms & Conditions and any product-specific agreements. Subject to the terms of this DPA and with agreement of the parties, Customer may issue additional written instructions consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Customer is responsible for ensuring that all individuals who provide instructions are authorised to do so.
20i will inform Customer of any instruction that it reasonably believes would infringe applicable Data Protection Laws and will not execute the instructions until they have been confirmed or modified.
When Customer Data is processed by 20i both parties acknowledge and agree that:
- 20i acts as a Data Processor of Customer Data under the applicable Data Protection Laws.
- Customer acts as a Data Controller in relation to Customer Data under the applicable Data Protection Laws.
Confidentiality
20i shall treat all Customer Data as strictly confidential information. Customer Data may not be copied, transferred or otherwise processed in conflict with the Instruction from Customer unless required by law.
20i employees shall be subject to an obligation of confidentiality that ensures that the employees shall treat all Customer Data under this DPA with strict confidentiality and only process Customer Data in accordance with the Instruction. 20i shall ensure that personnel authorised to process Customer Data receive regular data protection and information security training.
Sub-Processing
Customer authorises 20i to engage third-parties to process Customer Data (“Sub-Processors”) without obtaining any further written, specific authorisation. 20i will restrict Sub-Processor access to Customer Data to what is necessary to provide the Services.
20i shall complete a written agreement with any Sub-Processors. Such an agreement shall at minimum provide the same data protection obligations as the ones applicable under this DPA. It remains accountable for any Sub-Processor in the same way as for its own actions and omissions.
20i will inform Customer of any new Sub-Processor engagements at least 30 days before the new Sub-Processor processes any Customer Data. Notifications of such engagements will be delivered to the account email address and/or through the control panel interface. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure account information is correct and kept up to date.
Customer has the right to object to a use of a Sub-Processor by terminating this Addendum and Services in accordance with 20i Terms and Conditions. A list of current Sub-Processors can be found in Annex 1.
Security
20i will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Customer Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access as set out Annex 2 of this Addendum and in accordance with Article 32 of the applicable Data Protection Laws. The security measures are subject to technical progress and development and Customer acknowledges that 20i may update or modify the security measures from time-to-time provided that such updates and modifications do not result in the degradation of the overall security. In addition, 20i will make controls available to Customer to further secure Customer Data inside the control panel.
Data Breach Notifications
If 20i becomes aware of a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, Customer Data on systems managed by or otherwise controlled by 20i, 20i agrees to notify Customer without undue delay. Notifications of such incidents will be sent to the account email address as set by Customer. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure this information is correct and kept up to date inside the control panel.
20i will make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of any breach and take necessary steps to prevent such a breach from reoccurring.
Customer agrees that Data Breach Notifications will not include unsuccessful attempts or activities that do not compromise the security of Customer Data, including unsuccessful log-in attempts, pings, port scans, denial of service attacks, and other network attacks on firewalls or networked systems.
Data Subject Rights
If 20i directly receives a request from a Data Subject to exercise such rights in relation to Customer Data, it will forward the request to Customer. Customer must respond to any such request within the timeframes required by the applicable Data Protection Laws.
20i will assist Customer in fulfilling any obligation to respond to requests by data subjects, which may include providing controls via the control panel to help comply with the applicable Data Protection Laws.
Data Transfers
20i stores and processes data in secure datacentres located within the United Kingdom and European Economic Area ("UK and EEA"), together with other jurisdictions where required to provide the Services and where appropriate safeguards are in place under applicable Data Protection Laws. Data may be transferred and processed outside the EEA to countries where Sub-Processors maintain their own data processing operations. Customer acknowledges that Customer Data may be transferred outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area where such transfers are carried out in accordance with Chapter V of the applicable Data Protection Laws, including through the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism. 20i will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Customer Data is treated securely and in accordance with the relevant Data Protection Laws.
Compliance and Audit Rights
20i agrees to maintain records of its security standards and, upon written request by Customer, 20i shall make available all relevant information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA. Customer agrees any audit or inspection shall be carried out with reasonable prior written notice of no less than 30 days and shall not be conducted more than once in any 12-month period. If 20i declines the request, Customer is entitled to terminate this addendum and Services.
Return or Deletion of Data
20i only retains Customer Data for as long as required to fulfil the purposes for which it was initially collected. Termination of this Addendum or Services in line with 20i Terms & Conditions will result in all Customer Data being deleted, unless otherwise required by law. For Customer Data archived on back-up systems, 20i shall securely isolate and protect from any further processing.
Limitation of Liability
The total liability of each part under this addendum shall be subject to the limitation of liability as set out in 20i Terms & Conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance will 20i be liable for any losses or damages suffered by Customer where Customer is using Services in violation of its Terms & Conditions, regardless of whether it terminates or suspend an account due to such violation.
