  1. AYANZA' OBLIGATIONS

    1. Roles. For the purposes of the GDPR and similar Data Protection Legislation, Customer (or third party on whose behalf Customer is authorised to instruct Ayanza) is the Controller of Customer Data that are Personal Data, and Ayanza shall Process Personal Data as a Processor (or sub-Processor, as applicable to Customer's use of Service); and for the purposes of the CCPA (to the extent the CCPA is applicable), Customer is the "business" and Ayanza is the "service provider".

    2. Permitted Purposes. Ayanza shall Process Personal Data for the purposes described in Annex A and in accordance with Customer's documented lawful instructions ("Permitted Purposes"), except where otherwise required by law(s) that are not incompatible with applicable Data Protection Legislation. In particular and to the extent the CCPA is applicable, Customer's transfer of Personal Data to Ayanza is not a sale, and Ayanza provides no monetary or other valuable consideration to Customer in exchange for Personal Data. To the extent required by Data Protection Legislation, this Clause 3.2 constitutes the certification from Ayanza to the Processing instructions herein. Ayanza is obliged at all times to Process Personal Data in compliance with Data Protection Legislation and fulfil all its obligations arising out of Data Protection Legislation.

    3. Processing Instructions. Ayanza shall immediately inform Customer if it becomes aware that Customer's Processing instructions infringe Data Protection Legislation. If Ayanza is unable to Process Personal Data in accordance with the Customer's documented lawful instructions, Ayanza is obliged to promptly notify Customer of its inability to comply.

    4. Security Measures. Ayanza shall implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect all data, including Personal Data, from Data Breaches and preserve their security, integrity, and confidentiality. Such measures shall have regard to 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. At a minimum, these measures must include the measures identified in Annex C of this Data Processing Addendum.

    5. Access and Confidentiality. Ayanza shall ensure that any person it authorises to Process the Personal Data (including Ayanza' staff, agents and Sub-processor's) ("Personnel") are under appropriate obligations of confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty), have received proper training, and are informed about the confidential nature of the Personal Data and their obligations related to it and have access to Personal Data only in accordance with the need-to-know principle. Ayanza shall ensure that all Personnel Process the Personal Data only as necessary for the Permitted Purposes.

    6. Data Returns and Deletion. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, Ayanza must delete or return to Customer all Personal Data (including copies) in its possession or control in accordance with the Agreement.

  2. Audit Rights.

    1. Customer shall have the right to conduct an audit to verify Ayanza's compliance with its obligations laid down in Art. 28 GDPR (if applicable) and in this Addendum. Ayanza shall allow the Customer to carry out the audit under the following conditions: 

      1. tCustomer asks Ayanza to carry out the audit via a written notice at least 30 (thirty) days in advance; 

      2. Customer will specify the agenda for such audit in the notification under4.1.1; 

      3. the audit shall not take place more than once a year; 

      4. all associated costs and expenses shall be borne by Customer and reimbursed to Ayanza on demand; and

      5. the audit shall last no longer than the equivalent of 1 working day (8 hours) of the Ayanza representative.

    2. In case Customer requests the audit via third independent party – external licensed auditor, Ayanza may object to an external licensed auditor appointed by Customer to conduct the audit if the auditor is, in Ayanza’s reasonable opinion, not suitably qualified or independent, a competitor of Ayanza, or otherwise manifestly unsuitable. Any such objection will require Customer to appoint another auditor. In case Customer requires more than one audit within one calendar year, Customer shall obtain prior written permission of Ayanza and shall bear the cost associated with such audits and reimburse Ayanza all reasonably incurred costs of such audits. On the request of Customer, Ayanza will provide Customer with the estimated cost that it expects to incur during such audit according to the extent specified in the agenda provided by Customer.

  • CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS

  • Customer's Processing of Personal Data. Customer shall, in its use of Service, Process Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Legislation. Customer shall have the sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Personal Data and how Customer acquired Personal Data.

  • COOPERATION

  • Data Subject Rights.

  • SECURITY INCIDENTS

  • Data Breach. Upon becoming aware of a Data Breach, Ayanza shall notify Customer without undue delay and shall provide such timely information and cooperation as Customer may reasonably require in order to fulfil its data breach reporting obligations under Data Protection Legislation, including the type of data affected and the identity of the affected person(s) as soon as such information becomes known or available to Ayanza.

  • No acknowledgement. Customer agrees that any notification that Ayanza provides to Customer in relation to a Data Breach shall not be construed or understood as an acknowledgement of any fault or liability.

  • Further Conduct. Ayanza shall further take all such measures and actions as are reasonable to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Data Breach and shall keep Customer informed of all developments in connection with the Data Breach.

It is the responsibility of the Customer to subscribe to the notifications.

  • Objections. If Customer has a reasonable objection to any new sub-processor, it shall notify Azanya of such objections in writing to [email protected]within ten (10) days from receiving the notification and the Parties will seek to resolve the matter in good faith. If Customer does not provide a timely objection to any new sub-processor in accordance with this Section 8.3, Customer will be deemed to have consented to the sub-processor and waived its right to object. 

  1. Liability for sub-processors. Ayanza remains fully liable for any breach of this Data Processing Addendum or the Agreement caused by an act, error or omission of such Sub-processor.


  • DATA TRANSFERS

  • International Data Transfers. Ayanza shall take all such measures necessary to ensure that the Processing and transfer of Personal Data in or to a territory other than the territory in which the Personal Data was first collected complies with Data Protection Legislation.

  • Application of Standard Contractual Clauses. 

  1. The Parties agree that when and to the extent the transfer of Personal Data from Customer to Ayanza is a Restricted Transfer and EU/UK Data protection Law requires that appropriate safeguards are put in place, such transfer shall be governed by the EU SCCs, which shall be incorporated by reference into and form an integral part of this DPA as follows: 

For the purposes of Personal Data that is subject to the EU Data Protection Laws ("EU Data"):

  1. Where Customer is a Controller of Personal Data, Module Two (Controller to Processor Clauses) will apply and where Customer is a Processor acting on behalf of third-party Controllers, Module 3 (Processor to Processor Clauses) will apply; 

  2. in Clause 7 (Docking Clause), the optional docking clause will apply;

  3. in Clause 9 (Use of Sub-processors), Option 2 will apply, and the time period for prior notice of sub-processor changes shall be as set out in Clause 8.2. of this DPA and the period for notification of objections in Clause 8.3. of this PDA;

  4. in Clause 11 (Redress), the optional language to permit data subjects to lodge complaints with an independent dispute resolution body will not apply;

  5. in Clause 17 (Governing Law), Option 1 will apply, and the EU SCCs will be governed by Dutch law;

  6. in Clause 18(b) (Choice of forum and jurisdiction), disputes shall be resolved before the courts of Amsterdam, the Netherlands;

For the purposes of Personal Data that is subject to the UK Data Protection Laws ("UK Data"):

  1. the EU SCCs will also apply in accordance with paragraphs (i) to (iv) above, with the following modifications:

  2. references to "Regulation (EU) 2016/679" shall be interpreted as references to UK GDPR;

  3. references to specific Articles of "Regulation (EU) 2016/679" shall be replaced with the equivalent article or section of UK GDPR; 

  4. references to "EU", "Union", "Member State" and "Member State law" shall be replaced with references to the "UK" and "UK law"; 

  5. the term "member state" shall not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude data subjects in the UK from the possibility of suing for their rights in their place of habitual residence (i.e., the UK);

  6. Clause 13(a) of the EU SCCs and Part C of Annex I of the DPA are not used and the "competent supervisory authority" is the United Kingdom Information Commissioner; 

  7. references to the "competent supervisory authority" and "competent courts" shall be replaced with references to the "Information Commissioner" and the "courts of England and Wales"; 

  8. in Clause 17, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales or Switzerland (as applicable); and

  9. with respect to transfers to which UK GDPR apply, Clause 18 shall be amended to state "Any dispute arising from these Clauses shall be resolved by the courts of England and Wales. A data subject may bring legal proceeding against the data exporter and/or data importer before the courts of any country in the UK. The Parties agree to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of such courts",

  10. unless the EU SCCs, implemented as described above, cannot be used to lawfully transfer Personal Data in compliance with the UK GDPR, the UK SCCs shall instead be incorporated by reference and form an integral part of this DPA and shall apply to such transfers. Where this is the case, the relevant Annexes or Appendices of the UK SCCs shall be populated using the information contained in Annexes A, B and C (as applicable).

  • LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

  1. Customer's remedies, including its Affiliates, and Ayanza's liability arising out of or in relation to this Data Processing Addendum (including Standard Contractual Clauses), are subject to those limitations of liability and disclaimers set forth in the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this DPA is intended to limit the rights a Data Subject may have against either Party arising out of such Party's breach of the Standard Contractual Clauses, where applicable.

  1. FINAL PROVISIONS

    1. Third-Party Beneficiaries. Data Subjects are the sole third-party beneficiaries to the Standard Contractual Clauses, and there are no other third-party beneficiaries to the Agreement and this Data Processing Addendum.
