For the purposes of the Standard Contractual Clauses, (a) Merchant is the data exporter, and Merchant’s execution of this DPA shall be treated as Merchant’s execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses and appendices in this DPA; and (b) Processor is the data importer, and Processor’s execution of this DPA shall be treated as Processor’s execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses and appendices in this DPA.

GDPR Contractual Terms

Pursuant to Articles 28, 32 and 33 of the GDPR:

  1. Merchant grants a general authorization to Processor to appoint its affiliates as sub-processors and a specific authorization to Processor and its affiliates to appoint as sub-processors third parties that provide reasonable technological and organizational safeguards to protect the Personal Data. Please email us at security@cleverific.com at any time to request a list of our sub-processors and/or to subscribe to our sub-processor email updates. [Article 28(2)]
  2. Processor shall [Article 28(3)]:
  1. process the Personal Data only on documented instructions from Merchant unless required to do so by European Union or Member State law to which Processor is subject; in such a case, Processor shall inform Merchant of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest.
  2. ensure that persons authorized to process the Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
  3. take all applicable and appropriate measures required of processors pursuant to Article 32 of the GDPR.
  4. taking into account the nature of the processing, assist Merchant by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the Merchant’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject’s rights set forth in Chapter III of the GDPR. Processor may charge a fee (based on Processor’s reasonable costs) for responding to data subject requests under this Section 4(b)(iv).
  5. assist Merchant in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR, taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to Processor.
  6. at the direction of Merchant, delete or return all the Personal Data to Merchant after the end of the provision of services relating to processing, and delete existing copies unless European Union or Member State or United States law requires storage of the Personal Data; provided, however, that Processor may retain Personal Data for the length of any applicable statutes of limitations for the purposes of bringing or defending claims. Processor may charge a fee (based on Processor’s reasonable costs) for any data deletion under this Section 4(b)(vi).
  7. make available to Merchant all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set forth in Article 28 of the GDPR and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by Merchant and immediately inform Merchant if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes the GDPR or other European Union or Member State data protection provisions. Processor may charge a fee (based on Processor’s reasonable costs) for any audits under this Section 4(b)(vii).
  1. Where Processor engages another processor for carrying out specific processing activities on behalf of Merchant, the same data protection obligations as set out in this DPA shall be imposed on that other processor by way of a contract or other legal act under European Union or Member State law, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR. [Article 28(4)]
  2. 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, Merchant and Processor shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. [Article 32(1)]
  3. In assessing the appropriate level of security, account shall be taken of the risks that are presented by processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed. [Article 32(2)]
  4. Merchant and Processor shall take steps to ensure that any natural person acting under the authority of Merchant or Processor who has access to Personal Data does not process them except on instructions from Merchant, unless he or she is required to do so by European Union or Member State law (or, in the case of Processor, United States law). [Article 32(4)]
  5. Processor shall notify Merchant without undue delay after becoming aware of a Personal Data breach. [Article 33(2)] Such notice will, at a minimum, (A) describe the nature of the Personal Data breach including where possible, the categories and approximate number of data subjects concerned and the categories and approximate number of Personal Data records concerned; (B) communicate the name and contact details of the data protection officer or other contact where more information can be obtained; (C) describe the likely consequences of the personal data breach; and (D) describe the measures taken or proposed to be taken by the controller to address the personal data breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. [Article 33(3)] Processor’s notification or response under this Section 4(g) shall not be construed as an acknowledgement by Processor of any fault or liability with respect to such Personal Data breach.
