3. tuvis’ Processing of Personal Data.
  1. Subject to the Agreement, tuvis shall Process Personal Data that is subject to this DPA only in accordance with Client’s documented instructions as necessary for the performance of the Services and for the performance of the Agreement and this DPA, unless required by Union or Member State law or any other applicable law to which tuvis and its Affiliates are subject; in which case, tuvis shall inform the Client of the legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest. The duration of the Processing, the nature and purposes of the Processing, as well as the types of Personal Data Processed and categories of Data Subjects under this DPA are further specified in Schedule 1 (Details of the Processing) to this DPA.
  2. To the extent that tuvis or its Affiliates cannot comply with a request (including, without limitation, any instruction, direction, code of conduct, certification, or change of any kind), from Client and/or its authorized users relating to Processing of Personal Data or where tuvis considers such a request to be unlawful, tuvis (i) shall inform Client, providing relevant details of the problem (but not legal advice), (ii) tuvis may, without any kind of liability towards Client, temporarily cease all Processing of the affected Personal Data (other than securely storing those data), and (iii) if the Parties do not agree on a resolution to the issue in question and the costs thereof, each Party may, as its sole remedy, terminate the Agreement and this DPA with respect to the affected Processing, and Client shall pay to tuvis all the amounts owed to tuvis or due before the date of termination. Client will have no further claims against tuvis (including, without limitation, requesting refunds for Services) due to the termination of the Agreement and/or the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph (excluding the obligations relating to the termination of this DPA set forth below).

RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

1. 1. If tuvis receives a request from a Data Subject to exercise its rights as laid down in Data Protection Laws and Regulations (“Data Subject Request”), tuvis shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify and forward such Data Subject Request to Client. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, tuvis shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Client by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Client’s obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under Data Protection Laws and Regulations. To the extent legally permitted, Client shall be responsible for any costs arising from tuvis’ provision of such assistance.

tuvis PERSONNEL

1. tuvis shall grant access to the Personal Data to persons under its authority (including, without limitation, its personnel) only on a need-to-know basis and ensure that such persons engaged in the Processing of Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
2. tuvis may disclose and Process the Personal Data (a) as permitted hereunder (b) to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Supervisory Authority and/or otherwise as required by applicable laws or applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations (in such a case, tuvis shall inform the Client of the legal requirement before the disclosure, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest), or (c) on a “need-to-know” basis under an obligation of confidentiality to legal counsel(s), data protection advisor(s), accountant(s), inventors or potential acquirers.

AUTHORIZATION REGARDING SUB-PROCESSORS

1. 1. tuvis’ current list of Sub-processors is included in Schedule 3 (“Sub-processor List”) and is hereby approved by Client.
  2. Client shall subscribe to notifications of new Sub-processors by sending an email to [email protected], with the subject SUBSCRIPTION TO SUB-PROCESSORS NOTIFICATION and if Client subscribes, tuvis shall provide notification of any new Sub-processor(s).
  3. Client may reasonably object to tuvis’ use of a Sub-processor for reasons related to the GDPR by notifying tuvis promptly in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of tuvis’ notice in accordance with the mechanism set out in Section 5.2 and such written objection shall include the reasons related to the Data Protection Laws and Regulations for objecting to tuvis’ use of such Sub-processor. Failure to object to such Sub-processor in writing within five (5) business days following tuvis’ notice shall be deemed as acceptance of the Sub-Processor. In the event Client reasonably objects to a Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, tuvis will use reasonable efforts to make available to Client a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Client’s use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Client. If tuvis is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, Client may, as a sole remedy, terminate the applicable Agreement and this DPA with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by tuvis without the use of the objected-to Sub-processor by providing written notice to tuvis provided that all amounts due under the Agreement before the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to tuvis. Until a decision is made regarding the Sub-processor, tuvis may temporarily suspend the Processing of the affected Personal Data. Client will have no further claims against tuvis due to the termination of the Agreement (including, without limitation, requesting refunds) and/or the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph.
  4. In accordance with Articles 28.7 and 28.8 of the GDPR, if and when the European Commission lays down the Standard Contractual Clauses referred to in such Article, the Parties may revise this DPA in good faith to adjust it to such Standard Contractual Clauses. This Section 5 shall not apply to subcontractors of tuvis which provide ancillary services to support the performance of the DPA. This includes, for example, telecommunication services, maintenance and user service, cleaning staff, or auditors.

SECURITY

1. 1. Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the scope, the context, the purposes of the Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, tuvis shall maintain all industry-standard technical and organizational measures required pursuant to applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations for protection of the security (including protection against unauthorized or unlawful Processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data), confidentiality and integrity of Personal Data, as set forth in the Security Documentation which are hereby approved by Client. Upon the Client’s request, tuvis will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Client, at Client’s cost, in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations taking into account the nature of the processing, the state of the art, and the information available to tuvis.

Upon Client’s written request at reasonable intervals, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement and this DPA, tuvis shall make available to Client that is not a competitor of tuvis (or Client’s independent, third-party auditor that is not a competitor of tuvis) a copy or a summary of tuvis’ then most recent third-party audits or certifications, as applicable (provided, however, that such audits, certifications and the results therefrom, including the documents reflecting the outcome of the audit and/or the certifications, shall only be used by Client to assess compliance with this DPA, and shall not be used for any other purpose or disclosed to any third party without tuvis’ prior written approval and, upon tuvis’ first request, Client shall return all records or documentation in Client’s possession or control provided by tuvis in the context of the audit and/or the certification). At Client’s cost and expense, tuvis shall allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections of tuvis’, conducted by the controller or another auditor mandated by the controller (who is not a direct or indirect competitor of tuvis) provided that the parties shall agree on the scope, methodology, timing and conditions of such audits and inspections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such audits and/or inspections shall not contain any information, including without limitation, personal data that does not belong to Client.

PERSONAL DATA INCIDENT MANAGEMENT AND NOTIFICATION

tuvis shall notify Client without undue delay after becoming aware of the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data, including Personal Data, transmitted, stored or otherwise Processed by tuvis or its Sub-processors of which tuvis becomes aware (a “Personal Data Incident”). tuvis shall make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of such Personal Data Incident and take those steps as tuvis deems necessary, possible and reasonable in order to remediate the cause of such a Personal Data Incident to the extent the remediation is within tuvis’ reasonable control. The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents that are caused by Client or Client’s users or are otherwise unrelated to the provision of the Services. In any event, Client will be the party responsible for notifying supervisory authorities and/or concerned data subjects (where required by Data Protection Laws and Regulations).

RETURN AND DELETION OF PERSONAL DATA

Subject to the Agreement, tuvis shall, at the choice of Client, delete or return the Personal Data to Client after the end of the provision of the Services relating to Processing, and shall delete existing copies unless applicable law requires storage of the Personal Data. In any event, to the extent required or allowed by applicable law, tuvis may retain one copy of the Personal Data for evidence purposes and/or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and/or to comply with applicable laws and regulations. If the Client requests the Personal Data to be returned, the Personal Data shall be returned in the format generally available for tuvis’ Clients.

AUTHORIZED AFFILIATES

1. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, by executing the DPA, the Client enters into the DPA on behalf of itself and, as applicable, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, thereby establishing a separate DPA between tuvis. Each Authorized Affiliate agrees to be bound by the obligations under this DPA.

Personal Data may be transferred from the EU Member States, the three EEA member countries (Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) (collectively, “EEA”), the United Kingdom and Brazil to countries that offer adequate level of data protection under or pursuant to the adequacy decisions published by the relevant data protection authorities (“Adequacy Decisions”), without any further safeguard being necessary.
  2. Transfers to other countries. If the Processing of Personal Data includes transfers from the EEA (or Brazil) to countries outside the EEA (or Brazil respectively), which are not subject to an Adequacy Decision (“Other Countries”) for example, Israel, the Parties shall comply with the following terms with respect to the EU transfers of Personal Data, Client as a Data Exporter (as defined in the SCCs) and tuvis on behalf of itself and each tuvis Affiliate (as applicable) as a Data Importer (as defined in the SCCs) hereby enter into the Standard Contractual Clauses set out in Schedule 4. To the extent that there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Standard Contractual Clauses and the terms of this DPA, the terms of the Standard Contractual Clauses shall take precedence.
