The Parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the Processing of Personal Data solely on behalf of Customer, (i) Customer is the Controller of Personal Data, (ii) Elementor is the Processor of such Personal Data. The terms “Controller” and “Processor” below hereby signify Customer and Elementor, respectively.
Customer, in its use of the Service, and Customer’s instructions to the Processor, shall comply with Data Protection Laws. Customer shall establish and have any and all required legal bases in order to collect, Process and transfer to Processor the Personal Data, and to authorize the Processing by Processor, and for Processor’s Processing activities on Customer’s behalf, including the pursuit of ‘business purposes’ as defined under the CCPA.
When Processing on Customer’s behalf under the Agreement, Processor shall Process Personal Data for the following purposes: (i) Processing in accordance with the Agreement and this DPA; (ii) Processing for Customer as part of its provision of the Services; (iii) Processing to comply with Customer’s reasonable and documented instructions, where such instructions are consistent with the terms of the Agreement, regarding the manner in which the Processing shall be performed; (iv) rendering Personal Data fully anonymous, non-identifiable and non-personal in accordance with applicable standards recognized by Data Protection Laws and guidance issued thereunder; (v) Processing as required under the laws applicable to Processor, and/or as required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent governmental or semi-governmental authority, provided that Processor shall inform Customer of the legal requirement before Processing, unless such law or order prohibit such information on important grounds of public interest.
Processor shall inform Customer without undue delay if, in Processor’s opinion, an instruction for the Processing of Personal Data given by Customer infringes applicable Data Protection Laws. To the extent that Processor cannot comply with an instruction from Customer, Processor (i) shall inform Customer, providing relevant details of the issue, (ii) Processor may temporarily cease all Processing of the affected Personal Data (other than securely storing such data) and/or suspend Customer’s access to the Services, and (iii) if the Parties do not agree on a resolution to the issue in question and the costs thereof, Customer may, as its sole remedy, terminate the Agreement and this DPA with respect to the affected Processing, and Customer shall pay to Processor all the amounts owed to Processor or due before the date of termination. Customer will have no further claims against Processor (including, without limitation, requesting refunds for Service) pursuant to the termination of the Agreement and the DPA as described in this paragraph.
The subject-matter of Processing of Personal Data by Processor is the performance of the Service pursuant to the Agreement. The duration of the Processing, the nature and purpose of the Processing, the types of Personal Data and categories of Data Subjects Processed under this DPA are further specified in Schedule 1 (Details of Processing) to this DPA.
The Parties agree that the Services are not intended for the processing of Sensitive Data, and that if Customer wishes to use the Services to process Sensitive Data, it must first obtain the Processor’s explicit prior written consent and enter into any additional agreements as required by Elementor.
Processor acknowledges and confirms that it does not receive or process any Personal Information as consideration for any services or other items that Processor provides to Customer under the Agreement. Processor shall not have, derive, or exercise any rights or benefits regarding Personal Information Processed on Customer’s behalf, and may use and disclose Personal Information solely for the purposes for which such Personal Information was provided to it, as stipulated in the Agreement and this DPA. Processor will not Sell or Share any Personal Information Processed hereunder without Customer’s prior written consent.
Processor shall, to the extent legally permitted, notify Customer or refer Data Subject or Consumer to Customer, if Processor receives a request from a Data Subject or Consumer to exercise their rights (to the extent available to them under applicable Data Protection Laws) of access, right to rectification, restriction of Processing, erasure, data portability, objection to the Processing, their right not to be subject to automated individual decision making, to opt-out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information, or the right not to be discriminated against (“Data Subject Request“). Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Processor shall assist Customer by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible and reasonable, for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under Data Protection Laws.
Processor shall ensure that its personnel and advisors engaged in the Processing of Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that (a) Processor’s Affiliates may be engaged as Sub-processors; and (b) Processor and Processor’s Affiliates on behalf of Processor may each engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Service.
Processor makes available to Customer the current list of Sub-processors used by Processor to process Personal Data in Schedule 3 to this Addendum. The Sub-Processor List as of the date of first use of the Service by Customer is hereby deemed authorized upon first use of the Service. The customer may subscribe to receiving updates on the Sub-Processor list by contacting [email protected]. The Processor shall provide the Customers who have registered with a written notice of Processor’s engagement with an additional sub-processor.
Customer may reasonably object to Processor’s use of a new Sub-processor, for reasons relating to the protection of Personal Data intended to be Processed by such Sub-processor, by notifying Processor promptly in writing within seven (7) days after receipt of notice of such sub-processor engagement. Such written objection shall include the reasons for objecting to Processor’s use of such new Sub-processor. Failure to object to such new Sub-processor in writing within seven (7) days following Processor’s notice shall be deemed as acceptance of the new Sub-Processor. In the event Customer reasonably objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, Processor will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Service or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Service to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor. If Processor is unable to make available such change within thirty (30) days, Customer may, as a sole remedy, terminate the applicable Agreement and this DPA with respect only to those Service which cannot be provided by Processor without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor, by providing written notice to Processor. All amounts due under the Agreement before the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to Processor. Until a decision is made regarding the new Sub-processor, Processor may temporarily suspend the Processing of the affected Personal Data and/or suspend access to the Account. Customer will have no further claims against Processor due to the termination of the Agreement (including, without limitation, requesting refunds) and/or the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph.
Processor or a Processor’s Affiliate on behalf of Processor has entered into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing appropriate safeguards to the protection of Personal Data. Where Processor engages a Sub-processor for carrying out specific Processing activities on behalf of the Customer, the same or materially similar data protection obligations as set out in this DPA shall be imposed on such new Sub-processor by way of a contract, in particular obligations to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR. Where a Sub-processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations concerning its processing of Personal Data, Processor shall remain responsible for the performance of the Sub-processor’s obligations.
Processor shall maintain industry-standard technical and organizational measures for protection of Personal Data Processed hereunder considering the state of the art, cost of implementation and nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing, as detailed in schedule 2 to this DPA.
Upon Customer’s 30 days prior written request at reasonable intervals (no more than once every 12 months), and subject to strict confidentiality undertakings by Customer, Processor shall make available to Customer that is not a competitor of Processor (or Customer’s independent, reputable, third-party auditor that is not a competitor of Processor and not in conflict with Processor, subject to their confidentiality and non-compete undertakings) written information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by them. Such information, audits, inspections and the results therefrom, including the documents reflecting the outcome of the audit and/or the inspections, shall only be used by Customer to assess compliance with this DPA, and shall not be used for any other purpose or disclosed to any third party without Processor’s prior written approval. Upon Processor’s first request, Customer shall return all records or documentation in Customer’s possession or control provided by Processor in the context of the audit or the inspection.
In the event of an audit or inspections as set forth above, Customer shall ensure that it (and each of its mandated auditors) will not cause (or, if it cannot avoid, minimize) any damage, injury or disruption to Processor’s premises, equipment, personnel and business while conducting such audit or inspection.
The audit rights set forth in 6.2 above, shall only apply to the extent that the Agreement does not otherwise provide Customer with audit rights that meet the relevant requirements of Data Protection Laws (including, where applicable, article 28(3)(h) of the GDPR or the UK GDPR).
Processor maintains security incident management policies and procedures and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, shall notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data Processed by Processor on behalf of the Customer (a “Data Incident“). Processor shall make reasonable efforts to identify and take those steps as Processor deems necessary and reasonable in order to remediate and/or mitigate the cause of such Data Incident to the extent the remediation and/or mitigation is within Processor’s reasonable control. The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents that are caused by Customer or anyone who uses the Services on Customer’s behalf. Customer will not make, disclose, release or publish any finding, admission of liability, communication, notice, press release or report concerning any Data Incident which directly or indirectly identifies Processor (including in any legal proceeding or in any notification to regulatory or supervisory authorities or affected individuals) without Processor’s prior written approval, unless, and solely to the extent that, Customer is compelled to do so pursuant to applicable Data Protection Laws. In the latter case, unless prohibited by such laws, Customer shall provide Processor with reasonable prior written notice to provide Processor with the opportunity to object to such disclosure and in any case Customer will limit the disclosure to the minimum scope required.
Following termination of the Agreement and subject thereto, Processor shall, at the choice of Customer (indicated through the Service or in written notification to Processor), delete or return to Customer all the Personal Data it Processes solely on behalf of the Customer in the manner described in the Agreement, and Processor shall delete existing copies of such Personal Data unless applicable laws require otherwise.
The parties agree that when the transfer of Personal Data from Customer to Processor is a Restricted Transfer, it shall be subject to the appropriate Standard Contractual Clauses as follows:
(a) in relation to Data that is protected by the GDPR, the EU SCCs will apply completed as follows: (i) Module Two will apply; (ii) in Clause 7, the optional docking clause will not apply; (iii) in Clause 9, Option 1 will apply, and the time period for prior notice of subprocessor changes shall be at least [7] days; (iv) in Clause 11, the optional language will not apply; (v) in Clause 17, Option 1 will apply, and the EU SCCs will be governed by Cyprus law; (vi) in Clause 18(b), disputes shall be resolved before the courts of Cyprus; (vii) Annex I of the EU SCCs shall be deemed completed with the information set out in Schedule I to this Addendum; (viii) Annex II of the EU SCCs shall be deemed completed with the information set out in Schedule II to this Addendum; and (ix) Annex III of the EU SCCs shall be deemed completed with the information set out in Schedule III to this Addendum;
(b) in relation to Data that is protected by the UK GDPR, the UK Addendum be deemed entered into (and incorporated into this DPA by this reference) as follows: (i) the EU SCCs, completed as set out above in clause 1.5(a) of this Addendum shall also apply to transfers of such Data, and the EU SCCs shall be deemed amended as specified by Part 2 of the UK Addendum in respect of the transfer of the Data; (ii) In addition, tables 1 to 3 in Part 1 of the UK Addendum shall be deemed completed with the information set out above at Section (a) (as applicable), in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of this Addendum, and table 4 of Part 1 of the UK Addendum shall be deemed completed by selecting “neither party”.
in the event that any provision of this Agreement contradicts, directly or indirectly, the Standard Contractual Clauses, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that, by executing the DPA, the Customer enters into the DPA on behalf of itself and, as applicable, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, in which case each Authorized Affiliate agrees to be bound by the Customer’s obligations under this DPA, if and to the extent that Processor Processes Personal Data on the behalf of such Authorized Affiliates, thus qualifying them as the “Controller”. All access to and use of the Service by Authorized Affiliates must comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and this DPA and any violation of the terms and conditions therein by an Authorized Affiliate shall be deemed a violation by Customer.
Customer shall remain responsible for coordinating all communication with Processor under the Agreement and this DPA and shall be entitled to make and receive any communication in relation to this DPA on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates.
Upon Customer’s reasonable request, Processor shall provide Customer, at Customer’s cost, with reasonable cooperation and assistance needed to fulfil Customer’s obligation under the GDPR or the UK GDPR (as applicable) to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to Customer’s use of the Service, to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to Processor. Processor shall provide, at Customer’s cost, reasonable assistance to Customer in the cooperation or prior consultation with the Supervisory Authority in the performance of its tasks relating to this Section 11.1, to the extent required under the GDPR or the UK GDPR, as applicable.
Each Party may by at least forty-five (45) calendar days’ prior written notice to the other Party, request in writing any variations to this DPA if they are required as a result of any change in, or decision of a competent authority under, any Data Protection Laws, to allow Processing of Customer Personal Data to be made (or continue to be made) without breach of those Data Protection Laws. Pursuant to such notice: (a) The Parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate such modification requested by Customer or that Processor believes is necessary; and (b) Customer shall not unreasonably withhold or delay agreement to any consequential variations to this DPA proposed by Processor to protect the Processor against additional risks, or to indemnify and compensate Processor for any further steps and costs associated with the variations made herein at Customer’s request. The Parties shall promptly discuss the proposed variations and negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing and implementing those or alternative variations designed to address the requirements identified in Customer’s or Processor’s notice as soon as is reasonably practicable. In the event that the Parties are unable to reach such an agreement within 30 days of such notice, then Customer or Processor may, by written notice to the other Party, with immediate effect, terminate the Agreement to the extent that it relates to the Services which are affected by the proposed variations (or lack thereof). Customer will have no further claims against Processor (including, without limitation, requesting refunds for the Services) pursuant to the termination of the Agreement and the DPA as described in this Section.
Subject to any section of the DPA and/or the Agreement dealing with the duration of the Processing and the consequences of the expiration or termination thereof, Processor will Process Personal Data pursuant to the DPA and Agreement for the duration of the Agreement, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.
