Types of Personal Data and Purpose of Processing

Personal Data will be processed for purposes of providing the services set out and otherwise agreed to in the Agreement and any applicable Order.

Categories of Data Subjects

Customer Responsibility

The Controller shall be solely responsible for complying with the statutory requirements relating to data protection and privacy, in particular regarding the disclosure and transfer of Personal Data to the Processor and the Processing of Personal Data.

The Controller shall inform the Processor without undue delay and comprehensively about any errors or irregularities related to statutory provisions on the Processing of Personal Data.

Obligations of the Processor

The Processor shall collect, process, and use Personal Data only within the scope of the Controller’s instructions. If the Processor believes that an Instruction of the Controller infringes the Data Protection Law, it shall immediately inform the Controller without delay. If the Processor cannot process Personal Data in accordance with the instructions due to a legal requirement under any applicable European Union or Member State law, the Processor will (i) promptly notify the Controller of that legal requirement before the relevant Processing to the extent permitted by the Data Protection Law; and (ii) cease all Processing (other than merely storing and maintaining the security of the affected Personal Data) until such time as the Controller issues new instructions with which the Processor is able to comply.

The Processor shall take the appropriate technical and organizational measures to adequately protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data. Such measures include, but are not be limited to:

  1. the prevention of unauthorized persons from gaining access to Personal Data Processing systems (physical access control),

  2. the prevention of Personal Data Processing systems from being used without authorization (logical access control),

  3. ensuring that Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified or deleted without authorization during electronic transmission, transport or storage on storage media, and that the target entities for any transfer of Personal Data by means of data transmission facilities can be established and verified (data transfer control),

  4. ensuring that Personal Data is processed solely in accordance with the Instructions (control of instructions),

  5. ensuring that Personal Data is protected against accidental destruction or loss (availability control).

Rectification, Restriction, and Erasure of Data

The Processor will provide reasonable assistance, including by appropriate technical and organizational measures and taking into account the nature of the Processing, to enable the Controller to respond to any request from Data Subjects seeking to exercise their rights under the Data Protection Law with respect to Personal Data (including access, rectification, restriction, deletion or portability of Personal Data, as applicable), to the extent permitted by the law. If such a request is made directly to the Processor, the Processor will promptly inform the Controller and will advise Data Subjects to submit their request to the Controller. The Controller shall be solely responsible for responding to any Data Subjects’ requests. The Controller shall reimburse the Processor for the costs arising from this assistance.

Data Breaches

The Processor will notify the Controller as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of any Personal Data Breach affecting any Personal Data. At the Controller’s request, the Processor will promptly provide the Controller with all reasonable assistance necessary to enable the Controller to notify relevant Personal Data Breaches to competent authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, if the Controller is required to do so under the Data Protection Law.

Sub Processors

The Processor shall be entitled to engage sub-processors to fulfill the Processor’s obligations defined in the Agreement by way of the controller agreeing to the terms of service of CSVBox. Where the Processor engages sub-processors, the Processor will engage only with sub-processors whose terms of service honor the similar obligations that apply to the Processor under this DPA.
