2.1 Parties’ roles. If European Data Protection Laws or the LGPD applies to either party’s processing of Customer Data, the parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the processing of Customer Data, ONE Tech is a processor acting on behalf of Customer (whether itself a controller or a processor). For the avoidance of doubt, this DPA shall not apply to instances where ONE Tech is the controller (as defined by European Data Protection Laws) unless otherwise described in Annex B (Jurisdiction-Specific Terms) of this DPA.
2.2 Purpose limitation. ONE Tech shall process Customer Data, as further described in Annex A (Details of Data Processing) of this DPA, only in accordance with Customer’s documented lawful instructions as set forth in this DPA, as necessary to comply with applicable law, or as otherwise agreed in writing (“Permitted Purposes”). The parties agree that the Agreement, including this DPA, along with the Customer’s configuration of or use of any settings, features, or options in the Service (as the Customer may be able to modify from time to time) constitute the Customer’s complete and final instructions to ONE Tech in relation to the processing of Customer Data (including for the purposes of the SCCs), and processing outside the scope of these instructions (if any) shall require prior written agreement between the parties.
2.3 Prohibited data. Customer will not provide (or cause to be provided) any Sensitive Data to ONE Tech for processing under the Agreement, and ONE Tech will have no liability whatsoever for Sensitive Data, whether in connection with a Security Incident or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, this DPA will not apply to Sensitive Data.
2.4 Customer compliance. Customer represents and warrants that (i) it has complied, and will continue to comply, with all applicable laws, including Data Protection Laws, in respect of its processing of Customer Data and any processing instructions it issues to ONE Tech; and (ii) it has provided, and will continue to provide, all notice and has obtained, and will continue to obtain, all consents and rights necessary under Data Protection Laws for ONE Tech to process Customer Data for the purposes described in the Agreement. Customer shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Customer Data and the means by which Customer acquired Customer Data. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, Customer agrees that it shall be responsible for complying with all laws (including Data Protection Laws) applicable to any content created, sent, or managed through the Service.
2.5 Lawfulness of Customer’s instructions. Customer will ensure that ONE Tech’s processing of the Customer Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions will not cause ONE Tech to violate any applicable law, regulation, or rule, including, without limitation, Data Protection Laws. ONE Tech shall promptly notify Customer in writing, unless prohibited from doing so under European Data Protection Laws, if it becomes aware or believes that any data processing instruction from Customer violates European Data Protection Laws. Where Customer acts as a processor on behalf of a third-party controller (or other intermediary to the ultimate controller), Customer warrants that its processing instructions as set out in the Agreement and this DPA, including its authorizations to ONE Tech for the appointment of Sub-processors in accordance with this DPA, have been authorized by the relevant controller. Customer shall serve as the sole point of contact for ONE Tech and ONE Tech need not interact directly with (including to provide notifications to or seek authorization from) any third-party controller other than through regular provision of the Service to the extent required under the Agreement. Customer shall be responsible for forwarding any notifications received under this DPA to the relevant controller, where appropriate.
3.1 Authorized Sub-processors. Customer agrees that ONE Tech may engage Sub-processors to process Customer Data on Customer’s behalf. The Sub-processors currently engaged by ONE Tech and authorized by Customer are ONE Tech’s Affiliates. ONE Tech shall notify Customer if it adds or removes Sub-processors at least 10 days prior to any such changes if Customer opts in to receive such notifications.
3.2 Sub-processor obligations. ONE Tech shall: (i) enter into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing data protection obligations that provide at least the same level of protection for Customer Data as those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the service provided by such Sub-processor; and (ii) remain responsible for such Sub-processor’s compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of such Sub-processor that cause ONE Tech to breach any of its obligations under this DPA. Customer acknowledges and agrees that, where applicable, ONE Tech fulfills its obligations under Clause 9 of the 2021 Controller-to-Processor Clauses and 2021 Processor-to-Processor Clauses (as applicable) by complying with this Section 3 and that ONE Tech may be prevented from disclosing Sub-processor agreements to Customer due to confidentiality restrictions but ONE Tech shall, upon request, use reasonable efforts to provide Customer with all relevant information it reasonably can in connection with Sub-processor agreements.
4.1 Security Measures. ONE Tech shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures that are designed to protect Customer Data from Security Incidents and designed to preserve the security and confidentiality of Customer Data in accordance with ONE Tech’s security standards established to comply with applicable rules, laws and regulations.
4.2 Confidentiality of processing. ONE Tech shall ensure that any person who is authorized by ONE Tech to process Customer Data (including its staff, agents, and subcontractors) shall be under an appropriate obligation of confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty).
4.3 Updates to Security Measures. Customer is responsible for reviewing the information made available by ONE Tech relating to data security and making an independent determination as to whether the Service meets Customer’s requirements and legal obligations under Data Protection Laws. Customer acknowledges that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that ONE Tech may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time, provided that such updates and modifications do not result in the degradation of the overall security of the Service provided to Customer.
4.4 Security Incident response. Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, ONE Tech shall: (i) notify Customer without undue delay, and where feasible, in any event no later than 48 hours from becoming aware of the Security Incident; (ii) provide timely information relating to the Security Incident as it becomes known or as is reasonably requested by Customer; and (iii) promptly take reasonable steps to contain and investigate any Security Incident. ONE Tech’s notification of or response to a Security Incident under this Section 4.4 shall not be construed as an acknowledgment by ONE Tech of any fault or liability with respect to the Security Incident.
4.5 Customer responsibilities. Notwithstanding the above, Customer agrees that except as provided by this DPA, Customer is responsible for its secure use of the Service, including securing its account authentication credentials, protecting the security of Customer Data when in transit to and from the Service, and taking any appropriate steps to securely encrypt or backup any Customer Data uploaded to the Service.
5.1 Audit rights. ONE Tech shall make available to Customer all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections by Customer in order to assess compliance with this DPA. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it shall exercise its audit rights under this DPA (including this Section 5.1 and where applicable, the SCCs) and any audit rights granted by Data Protection Laws, by instructing ONE Tech to comply with the audit measures described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 below.
5.2 Security reports. Customer acknowledges that ONE Tech is regularly audited against SSAE 16 and PCI standards by independent third party auditors and internal auditors respectively. Upon written request, ONE Tech shall supply (on a confidential basis) a summary copy of its most current audit report(s) (“Report”) to Customer, so that Customer can verify ONE Tech’s compliance with the audit standards against which it has been assessed and this DPA.
5.3 Security due diligence. In addition to the Report, ONE Tech shall respond to all reasonable requests for information made by Customer to confirm ONE Tech’s compliance with this DPA, including responses to information security, due diligence, and audit questionnaires, by making additional information available regarding its information security program upon Customer’s written request to privacy@micro.ai, provided that Customer shall not exercise this right more than once per calendar year.
6.1 Data center locations. Subject to Section 6.2, Customer acknowledges that ONE Tech may transfer and process Customer Data to and in the United States and anywhere else in the world where ONE Tech, its Affiliates or its Sub-processors maintain data processing operations. ONE Tech shall at all times ensure that such transfers are made in compliance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws and this DPA.
6.2 Australian data. To the extent that ONE Tech is a recipient of Customer Data protected by the Australian Privacy Law, the parties acknowledge and agree that ONE Tech may transfer such Customer Data outside of Australia as permitted by the terms agreed upon by the parties and subject to ONE Tech complying with this DPA and the Australian Privacy Law.
6.3 European Data transfers. To the extent that ONE Tech is a recipient of Customer Data protected by European Data Protection Laws (“European Data”) in a country outside of Europe that is not recognized as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data (as described in applicable European Data Protection Laws), the parties agree to abide by and process European Data in compliance with the SCCs, which shall be incorporated into and form an integral part of this DPA as follows: (a) if Customer started using the Service before 27 September 2021, the 2010 Controller-to-Processor Clauses shall apply (regardless of whether Customer is a controller or a processor) until December 27, 2022, and thereafter the 2021 Controller-to-Processor Clauses and/or the 2021 Processor-to-Processor Clauses shall automatically apply (according to whether Customer is a controller and/or a processor) thereafter; (b) if Customer started using the Service on or after 27 September 2021, the 2021 Controller-to-Processor Clauses and/or the 2021 Processor-to-Processor Clauses shall apply (according to whether Customer is a controller and/or a processor) immediately.
6.4 Compliance with the SCCs. The parties agree that if ONE Tech cannot ensure compliance with the SCCs, it shall promptly inform Customer of its inability to comply. If Customer intends to suspend the transfer of European Data and/or terminate the affected parts of the Service, it shall first provide notice to ONE Tech and provide ONE Tech with a reasonable period of time to cure such non-compliance, during which time ONE Tech and Customer shall reasonably cooperate to agree what additional safeguards or measures, if any, may be reasonably required. Customer shall only be entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the affected parts of the Service for non-compliance with the SCCs if ONE Tech has not or cannot cure the non-compliance within a reasonable period.
6.5 Alternative transfer mechanism. To extent that and for so long as the SCCs as implemented in accordance with Section 6.3 cannot be relied on to lawfully transfer personal data in compliance with UK Data Protection Laws, the standard data protection clauses for processors adopted pursuant to or permitted under Article 46 of the UK GDPR (“UK SCCs”) shall be incorporated by reference and deemed completed with the relevant information set out in the Annexes of this DPA. Additionally, to the extent ONE Tech adopts an alternative lawful data transfer mechanism for the transfer of European Data not described in this DPA (“Alternative Transfer Mechanism”), the Alternative Transfer Mechanism shall apply instead of the transfer mechanisms described in this DPA (but only to the extent such Alternative Transfer Mechanism complies with applicable European Data Protection Laws and extends to the countries to which European Data is transferred). In addition, if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction or supervisory authority orders (for whatever reason) that the measures described in this DPA cannot be relied on to lawfully transfer European Data (within the meaning of applicable European Data Protection Laws), ONE Tech may implement any additional measures or safeguards that may be reasonably required to enable the lawful transfer of European Data.
Deletion or return on termination. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, ONE Tech shall (at Customer’s election) delete or return to Customer all Customer Data (including copies) in its possession or control, except that this requirement shall not apply to the extent ONE Tech is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Customer Data, or to Customer Data it has archived on back-up systems, which Customer Data ONE Tech shall securely isolate, protect from any further processing and eventually delete in accordance with ONE Tech’s deletion policies, except to the extent required by applicable law. The parties agree that the certification of deletion of Customer Data described in Clause 8.5 and 16(d) of the 2021 Controller-to-Processor Clauses and 2021 Processor-to-Processor Clauses (as applicable) shall be provided by ONE Tech to Customer only upon Customer’s written request.
8.1 Data subject requests. As part of the Service, ONE Tech provides Customer with a number of self-service features, that Customer may use to retrieve, correct, delete, or restrict the use of Customer Data, which Customer may use to assist it in connection with its (or its third-party controller’s) obligations under the Data Protection Laws with respect to responding to requests from data subjects via Customer’s account at no additional cost. In addition, ONE Tech shall, considering the nature of the processing, provide reasonable additional assistance to Customer to the extent possible to enable Customer (or its third-party controller) to comply with its data protection obligations with respect to data subject rights under Data Protection Laws. In the event that any such request is made to ONE Tech directly, ONE Tech shall not respond to such communication directly except as appropriate (for example, to direct the data subject to contact Customer) or legally required, without Customer’s prior authorization. If ONE Tech is required to respond to such a request, ONE Tech shall, where the Customer is identified or identifiable from the request, promptly notify Customer and provide Customer with a copy of the request unless ONE Tech is legally prohibited from doing so. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Agreement (including this DPA) shall restrict or prevent ONE Tech from responding to any data subject or data protection authority requests in relation to personal data for which ONE Tech is a controller.
8.2 Data protection impact assessment. To the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, ONE Tech shall (considering the nature of the processing and the information available to ONE Tech) provide all reasonably requested information regarding the Service to enable Customer to carry out data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with data protection authorities as required by Data Protection Laws. ONE Tech shall comply with the foregoing by: (i) complying with Section 5 (Security Reports and Audits); (ii) providing the information contained in the Agreement, including this DPA; and (iii) if the foregoing sub-sections (i) and (ii) are insufficient for Customer to comply with such obligations, upon request, providing additional reasonable assistance (at Customer’s expense).
To the extent ONE Tech processes Customer Data originating from and protected by Data Protection Laws in one of the jurisdictions listed in Annex B, then the terms specified in Annex B with respect to the applicable jurisdiction(s) (“Jurisdiction-Specific Terms”) apply in addition to the terms of this DPA. In the event of any conflict or ambiguity between the Jurisdiction-Specific Terms and any other terms of this DPA, the applicable Jurisdiction-Specific Terms will take precedence, but only to the extent of the Jurisdiction-Specific Terms’ applicability to ONE Tech.
10.1 Each party’s and all of its Affiliates’ liability taken together in the aggregate arising out of or related to this DPA (including the SCCs) shall be subject to the exclusions and limitations of liability set forth in the Agreement.
10.2 Any claims made against ONE Tech or its Affiliates under or in connection with this DPA (including, where applicable, the SCCs) shall be brought solely by the Customer entity that is a party to the Agreement.
10.3 In no event shall any party limit its liability with respect to any individual’s data protection rights under this DPA or otherwise.
11.1 This DPA shall remain in effect for as long as ONE Tech carries out Customer Data processing operations on behalf of Customer or until termination of the Agreement (and all Customer Data has been returned or deleted in accordance with Section 7.1 above).
11.2 The parties agree that this DPA shall replace any existing data processing agreement or similar document that the parties may have previously entered into in connection with the Service.
11.3 In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and the Agreement, the provisions of the following documents (in order of precedence) shall prevail: (i) SCCs; then (ii) this DPA; and then (iii) the Agreement.
11.4 Except for any changes made by this DPA, the Agreement remains unchanged and in full force and effect.
11.5 No one other than a party to this DPA, its successors and permitted assignees shall have any right to enforce any of its terms.
11.6 This DPA shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the governing law and jurisdiction provisions in the Agreement, unless required otherwise by applicable Data Protection Laws.
