Notions such as personal data, data subject, processor, controller, processing, etc. shall have the meaning as defined by the GDPR.

2.4 The Processor has no control on the purpose of the processing of personal data, nor may it independently take decisions concerning the use, storage or disclosure of the personal data, unless and to the extent it has been expressly agreed upon in the Data Processing Agreement.

2.5 The Processor undertakes to implement and comply with the appropriate technical and organizational security measures necessary to protect the personal data in case of accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or non-authorized access to personal data. When determining the appropriate technical and organizational security measures, the Processor shall take into account: (i) the state of the art, (ii) the implementation costs related to these measures, (iii) the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, (iv) the risks involved for the data subjects’ rights and freedoms, in particular in case of accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or non-authorized access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, and (v) the probability that the processing shall have an impact on the rights and freedoms of the data subjects.

2.6 The Processor will, when requested by the Controller, communicate to the Controller all the information required concerning the processing of personal data and shall transfer to the Controller any data subject’s request or question in connection with the (processing of) Personal data.

2.7 The Processor can grant its employees access to the personal data to the extent the employees need such access to the personal data in order to allow a proper performance of the Processor’s obligations under the Terms and under the Data Processing Agreement. The Processor will inform the concerned employees in writing about the personal data’s confidential character along with the legal and contractual framework of the protection of personal data, and shall impose a contractual confidentiality obligation upon the concerned employees.

2.8 The Controller hereby gives general permission to the Processor to transfer personal data to sub-processors. The Processor will inform the Controller about the sub-processors.

2.9 In the event the Processor grants sub-processors access to the personal data, it undertakes that such sub-processors will be subject to contractual obligations at least equivalent to the ones to which the Processor is itself subject vis-à-vis the Controller under this Data Processing Agreement.

2.10 The Controller hereby gives general permission to the Processor to transfer personal data to sub-processors as well as any other third party established outside the EEA provided that the rules for such transfer (articles 44-50 GDPR) are complied with.

2.11 The Processor can transfer personal data to a country outside the EEA if that transfer is necessary to comply with Applicable Data Protection Law. In such case, the Processor informs the Controller prior and in writing of the legal provision following which the Processor is obliged to transfer the personal data, unless the applicable legislation prohibits this notification for important reasons of public interest.

 

3. Obligation to assist

3.1 The Processor commits to assist the Controller in ensuring compliance with its legal obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law concerning security of the processing, the notification of a personal data breach to the supervisory authority and the data subject, the drafting of a data protection impact assessment (if applicable), and prior consultation.

4.2 The Data Processing Agreement shall remain in force for the term of the Terms. If the Terms terminate, the Data Processing Agreement shall terminate automatically.

4.3 Upon termination of the Data Processing Agreement, all personal data and any physical or electronic copies thereof must be provided to the Controller, or the Processor must, at the Controller’s discretion, destroy all personal data, unless (i) the storage of the personal data is required on the basis of a rule under applicable law or (ii) it concerns the pseudonymized data acquired in the course of the Terms and used to improve the Services provided by Unblock on its Site. The Processor is allowed to further process such pseudonymized data for improvement of the Unblock Platform and Site as well as scientific research (e.g. building statistical models). In any case, to the extent such data qualifies as personal data, Unblock shall comply with all controller obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law.


5. Miscellaneous

5.1 The Data Processing Agreement is severable. If one or more provisions that do not affect the essence of the Data Processing Agreement are declared fully or partially invalid, void or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The Data Processing Agreement will remain in force between the Parties and the invalid, void or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable.

5.2 The modifications of and supplements to the Data Processing Agreement are valid only if they are expressly agreed in writing between the Parties.

5.3 All general or specific terms and conditions or other documents originating from the Controller are hereby excluded. If a provision of the Terms is incompatible with, or contradictory to a provision of the Data Processing Agreement, the Data Processing Agreement will prevail.

5.4 If the personal data or the relationship between the Parties is subject to new (European) legislation or case law, the Parties agree to renegotiate in good faith the Data Processing Agreement, and to bring the Data Processing Agreement in line with the new (European) legislation or case law.

5.5 Compliance by the Processor with its obligations under the Data Processing Agreement is done against a fee based on the Processor’s hourly rates applicable at that moment.
