DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM
This Data Processing Addendum forms part of the Agreement. It applies where Terrafa Processes Customer Personal Data on behalf of the Customer in providing the Products, Support Services and Professional Services. Capitalised terms not defined in this appendix have the meaning given in the Definitions Appendix. If this appendix and the rest of the Agreement conflict in relation to the Processing of Customer Personal Data, this appendix prevails.
- 1. Roles. The Customer is the Controller and Terrafa is the Processor of Customer Personal Data. Each Party shall comply with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Legislation.
- 2. Details of the Processing. (a) Subject matter: the provision of Continuum and the related Support Services and Professional Services. (b) Duration: the Term, and the period after it until the Customer Personal Data is deleted or returned in accordance with paragraph 11. (c) Nature and purpose: hosting, storage, computation, display, transmission and deletion of data as needed to provide the Cloud Services to the Customer. (d) Types of Personal Data: names, business contact details, User Credentials and account identifiers, sign-in and usage records, and any Personal Data the Customer chooses to include in the data it uploads to or connects with Continuum. (e) Categories of data subjects: Users, Customer Personnel, and any other individuals whose Personal Data the Customer uploads to or connects with Continuum.
- 3. Instructions. Terrafa shall Process Customer Personal Data only on the documented instructions of the Customer, unless Applicable Laws require otherwise, in which case Terrafa shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before the Processing unless the law prohibits it. The Agreement, and the Customer's use and configuration of Continuum, are the Customer's documented instructions. Terrafa shall inform the Customer promptly if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes Applicable Data Protection Legislation.
- 4. Confidentiality. Terrafa shall ensure that every person it authorises to Process Customer Personal Data is under an obligation of confidentiality.
- 5. Security. Terrafa shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Customer Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, as required by Article 32 of the UK GDPR. These measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls limited to authorised personnel, and logging of access to production systems.
- 6. Sub-processors. The Customer gives Terrafa general authorisation to engage sub-processors. Terrafa's current sub-processor is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, which provides hosting, storage, identity, email and computing services from data centres in the European Union and the United Kingdom. Terrafa shall give the Customer at least fourteen (14) calendar days' notice of any new or replacement sub-processor, during which the Customer may object on reasonable data protection grounds. If the Parties cannot resolve the objection, the Customer may terminate the affected Order Form. Terrafa shall impose data protection obligations on each sub-processor that are no less protective than those in this appendix, and shall remain responsible for the acts and omissions of its sub-processors.
- 7. International transfers. Terrafa shall not transfer Customer Personal Data outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area unless the transfer is covered by adequacy regulations or an adequacy decision, or by appropriate safeguards under Applicable Data Protection Legislation, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
- 8. Data subject requests. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Terrafa shall assist the Customer by appropriate technical and organisational measures, so far as possible, to respond to requests from data subjects to exercise their rights. If Terrafa receives such a request directly, it shall pass the request to the Customer without undue delay and shall not respond to it except on the Customer's instructions.
- 9. Personal Data breaches. Terrafa shall notify the Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, Customer Personal Data. The notice shall describe, so far as Terrafa then knows, the nature of the breach, the categories and approximate number of data subjects and records concerned, the likely consequences, and the measures taken or proposed to address it.
- 10. Assistance. Terrafa shall provide reasonable assistance to the Customer with data protection impact assessments and prior consultations with supervisory authorities that relate to the Processing, taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Terrafa. Terrafa may charge for assistance beyond what is reasonable at its then-standard rates.
- 11. Deletion and return. On termination or expiry of the Agreement, Terrafa shall return or delete Customer Personal Data in accordance with Clause 24.2, and shall delete any remaining copies within sixty (60) calendar days, unless Applicable Laws require Terrafa to retain them.
- 12. Audit. Terrafa shall make available to the Customer the information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this appendix. Not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, and on at least thirty (30) calendar days' written notice, the Customer may audit that compliance at its own cost, during Normal Working Hours, subject to reasonable confidentiality and security conditions. Terrafa may meet an audit request by providing current independent certifications or reports.
- 13. Customer obligations. The Customer is responsible for having a lawful basis for the Processing, for giving any notices and obtaining any consents that Applicable Data Protection Legislation requires, and for the accuracy of the Customer Personal Data. Clause 13.5 applies to special categories of Personal Data.
- 14. Liability. Each Party's liability under this appendix is subject to Clause 22 (Limitations of Liability).
