  6. that, if the transfer involves special categories of data, the data subject has been informed or will be informed before, or as soon as possible after, the transfer that its data could be transmitted to a third country not providing adequate protection within the meaning of EU Data Protection Laws 95/46/EC;

  2. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his sub-processor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The data importer may not rely on a breach by a sub-processor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.
  3. ‍If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the sub-processor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the sub-processor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data sub-processor with regard to its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.  The liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

7. Mediation and jurisdiction

  1. The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:
    • to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;
    • to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

8. Co-operation with supervisory authorities

  1. The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.
  2. The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any sub-processor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.
  3. The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any sub-processor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any sub-processor, pursuant to paragraph 2.  In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5(b).

9. Governing law

The Clauses shall be governed by the laws of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

10. Variation of the contract

The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses.  This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business-related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.

11. Sub-processing

  1. The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter.  Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the sub-processor which imposes the same obligations on the sub-processor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses.  Where the sub-processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations under such agreement.
  2. The prior written contract between the data importer and the sub-processor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law.  Such third-party liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
  3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for sub-processing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
  4. The data exporter shall keep a list of sub-processing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5.1(j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter’s data protection supervisory authority.

12. Obligation after the termination of personal data-processing services

  1. The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data-processing services, the data importer and the sub-processor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred.  In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
  2. The data importer and the sub-processor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data-processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.

  2. More specifically, data importer/sub-processor’s security program shall include:

Access Control of Processing Areas

Data importer/sub-processor implements suitable measures in order to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to the data processing equipment (namely telephones, database and application servers and related hardware) where the personal data are processed or used, including:

  • establishing security areas;
  • protection and restriction of access paths;
  • establishing access authorizations for employees and third parties, including the respective documentation;
  • all access to the data center where personal data are hosted is logged, monitored, and tracked; and
  • the data center where personal data are hosted is secured by a security alarm system, and other appropriate security measures.

Access Control to Data Processing Systems

Data importer/sub-processor implements suitable measures to prevent their data processing systems from being used by unauthorized persons, including:

  • use of adequate encryption technologies;
  • identification of the terminal and/or the terminal user to the data importer/sub-processor and processing systems;
  • automatic temporary lock-out of user terminal if left idle, identification and password required to reopen;
  • automatic temporary lock-out of the user ID when several erroneous passwords are entered, log file of events, monitoring of break-in-attempts (alerts); and
  • all access to data content is logged, monitored, and tracked.

Access Control to Use Specific Areas of Data Processing Systems

Data importer/sub-processor commits that the persons entitled to use their data processing system are only able to access the data within the scope and to the extent covered by their respective access permission (authorization) and that personal data cannot be read, copied or modified or removed without authorization.  This shall be accomplished by various measures including:

  • employee policies and training in respect of each employee’s access rights to the personal data;
  • allocation of individual terminals and /or terminal user, and identification characteristics exclusive to specific functions;
  • monitoring capability in respect of individuals who delete, add or modify the personal data;
  • release of data only to authorized persons, including allocation of differentiated access rights and roles;
  • use of adequate encryption technologies; and
  • control of files, controlled and documented destruction of data.

Availability Control

Data importer/sub-processor implements suitable measures to ensure that personal data are protected from accidental destruction or loss, including:

  • infrastructure redundancy; and
  • backup is stored at an alternative site and available for restore in case of failure of the primary system.

Transmission Control

Data importer/sub-processor implements suitable measures to prevent the personal data from being read, copied, altered or deleted by unauthorized parties during the transmission thereof or during the transport of the data media.  This is accomplished by various measures including:

  • use of adequate firewall, VPN and encryption technologies to protect the gateways and pipelines through which the data travels;
  • certain highly confidential employee data (e.g., personally identifiable information such as National ID numbers, credit or debit card numbers) is also encrypted within the system; and
  • providing user alert upon incomplete transfer of data (end to end check); and
  • as far as possible, all data transmissions are logged, monitored and tracked.

Input Control

Data importer/sub-processor implements suitable input control measures, including:

  • an authorization policy for the input, reading, alteration and deletion of data;
  • authentication of the authorized personnel;
  • protective measures for the data input into memory, as well as for the reading, alteration and deletion of stored data;
  • utilization of unique authentication credentials or codes (passwords);
  • providing that entries to data processing facilities (the rooms housing the computer hardware and related equipment) are kept locked;
  • automatic log-off of user ID’s that have not been used for a substantial period of time; and
  • proof established within data importer/sub-processor’s organization of the input authorization; and
  • electronic recording of entries.

Separation of Processing for different Purposes  

Data importer/sub-processor implements suitable measures to ensure that data collected for different purposes can be processed separately, including:

  • access to data is separated through application security for the appropriate users;
  • modules within the data importer/sub-processor’s data base separate which data is used for which purpose, i.e. by functionality and function;
  • at the database level, data is stored in different normalized tables, separated per module, per Controller Customer or function they support; and
  • interfaces, batch processes and reports are designed for only specific purposes and functions, so data collected for specific purposes is processed separately.

Documentation

Data importer/sub-processor will keep documentation of technical and organizational measures in case of audits and for the conservation of evidence.  Data importer/sub-processor shall take reasonable steps to ensure that persons employed by it, and other persons at the place of work concerned, are aware of and comply with the technical and organizational measures set forth in this Appendix 2.
