2.1.2 with regard to any Processing of Personal Data obtained by Gett directly from a Service User, Gett is an independent controller of such Personal Data and paragraphs 11 and 12 shall apply. 

     Processor Obligations

2.2 Customer’s Processing of Personal Data. Customer’s instructions to Gett in respect of the Registration and De-registration of Service Users shall comply with Data Protection Laws including but not limited to ensuring that it has any and all required legal bases in order to collect, Process and transfer to Gett the Personal Data, and to authorize the Processing by Gett on Customer’s behalf, including the pursuit of ‘business purposes’ as defined under the CCPA.

2.3 Gett’s Processing of Personal Data

2.3.1 When Processing on Customer’s behalf under the Agreement, Gett shall Process Personal Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions unless required under the laws applicable to Gett, and/or as required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent governmental or semi-governmental authority, provided that Gett shall inform Customer of the legal requirement before Processing, unless such law or order prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest. 

2.3.2 Gett shall inform Customer without undue delay if, in Gett’s opinion, an instruction for the Processing of Personal Data given by Customer infringes applicable Data Protection Laws.

2.3.3 To the extent that Gett cannot comply with an instruction from Customer, Gett: (i) shall inform Customer, providing relevant details of the issue; and (ii) may, without liability to Customer, temporarily cease all Processing of the affected Personal Data (other than securely storing such data) and/or suspend Customer’s access to the Services. Upon receipt of the written notice in this paragraph ‎2.3.3(i) if the Parties do not agree on a resolution to the issue in question and the costs thereof, Customer may, as its sole remedy, terminate the Agreement the subject of the affected Processing, and Customer shall pay to Gett all Charges and other sums that were incurred under or in connection with such Agreement before the date of termination and which remains unpaid as at termination. Customer will have no further claims against Gett (including, requesting refunds for Services) as a result of or in connection with the termination of the Agreement pursuant to this paragraph.

2.3.4 Upon Customer’s reasonable request, Gett shall provide Customer, at Customer’s cost, with reasonable cooperation and assistance needed to fulfil Customer’s obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to the Registration and De-registration of Service Users, to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to Gett. Gett shall provide, at Customer’s cost, reasonable assistance to Customer in the cooperation or prior consultation with the Supervisory Authority in the performance of its tasks relating to this paragraph ‎2.3.4, to the extent required under the GDPR or the UK GDPR, as applicable. 

2.4 Details of the Processing. The details of the Processing of Personal Data by Gett as a Processor are set out in Appendix 1 (Details of Processing) to this DPA.

2.5 Sensitive Data. The parties agree that the Services are not intended for the Processing of Sensitive Data, and that if Customer wishes to use the Services to Process Sensitive Data, it must first obtain Gett’s explicit prior written consent and enter into any additional agreements as required by Gett.

2.6 CCPA Standard of Care; No Sale of Personal Information. Processor acknowledges and confirms that it does not receive or process any Personal Information as consideration for any services or other items that Processor provides to Customer under the Agreement. Processor shall not have, derive, or exercise any rights or benefits regarding Personal Information Processed on Customer’s behalf, and may use and disclose Personal Information solely for the purposes for which such Personal Information was provided to it, as stipulated in the Agreement and this DPA. Processor certifies that it understands the rules, requirements and definitions of the CCPA and agrees to refrain from selling (as such term is defined in the CCPA) any Personal Information Processed hereunder without Customer’s prior written consent, nor taking any action that would cause any transfer of Personal Information to or from Processor under the Agreement or this DPA to qualify as “selling” such Personal Information under the CCPA.

3. DATA SUBJECT REQUESTS 

Gett shall, to the extent legally permitted, notify Customer or refer Data Subject or Consumer to Customer, if Processor receives a request from a Data Subject or Consumer to exercise their rights (to the extent available to them under applicable Data Protection Laws) of access, right to rectification, restriction of Processing, erasure, data portability, objection to the Processing, their right not to be subject to automated individual decision making, to opt-out of the sale of Personal Information, or the right not to be discriminated against (“Data Subject Request”). Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Gett shall assist Customer by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible and reasonable, for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under Data Protection Laws. Gett may refer Data Subject Requests received, and the Data Subjects making them, directly to the Customer for its treatment of such Data Subject Requests.

4. CONFIDENTIALITY

Gett shall ensure that its personnel and advisors engaged in the Processing of Personal Data have committed themselves to duties of confidentiality.

5. SUB-PROCESSORS 

5.1 Appointment of Sub-processors. Customer acknowledges and agrees and hereby authorizes Gett to engage Sub-processors that are: (a) an Affiliate of Gett; and (b) third-party Sub-processors for and on behalf of Gett and/or an Affiliate of Gett, in each case in connection with the provision of the Services.

5.2 List of Current Sub-processors and Notification of New Sub-processors.  Gett will make available to Customer the current list of Sub-processors used by Gett to process Personal Data upon written request of Customer. The Customer provides general authorisation to Gett’s use of Sub-processors to Process Customer’s Personal Data on behalf of Customer, including those set out in such list.  

5.3 Objection to New Sub-processors. Gett shall provide Customer with notification of any intended new Sub-processor(s) by sending an e-mail to email address given in the “About Your Company” section of the Order Form. Customer may reasonably object to Gett’s use of a new Sub-processor, for reasons relating to the protection of Personal Data intended to be Processed by such Sub-processor, by notifying Gett promptly in writing within seven (7) days after receiving the aforesaid notice. Customer shall ensure that such written objection shall include the reasons for objecting to Gett’s use of such new Sub-processor. Failure to object to such new Sub-processor in writing within seven (7) days following Gett’s notice shall be deemed as acceptance of the new Sub-Processor. In the event Customer reasonably objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, Gett will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Customer. the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to Gett.  Until a decision is made regarding the new Sub-processor, Gett may temporarily suspend the Processing of the affected Personal Data and/or suspend access to the Customer’s account applicable to the affected Agreement.  Customer will have no further claims against Gett (including requesting refunds for Services) as a result of or in connection with the termination of the Agreement [(or any part of it)] pursuant to this paragraph ‎5.3.

5.4 Agreements with Sub-processors. Gett or Gett’s Affiliate on behalf of Gett has or will enter into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing appropriate safeguards for the protection of Personal Data including the same or materially similar data protection obligations as set out in paragraphs 2.2 – 10 of this DPA. Where a Sub-processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations concerning its Processing of Personal Data, Gett shall remain responsible for the performance of the Sub-processor’s obligations.

6. SECURITY & AUDITS

6.1 Controls for the Protection of Personal Data. Gett shall maintain industry-standard technical and organizational measures for protection of Personal Data Processed hereunder (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, including those measures set forth in the Security Documentation), as may be amended from time to time. Upon the Customer’s reasonable request, Gett will reasonably assist Customer, at Customer’s cost in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR and/or UK GDPR taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Gett.

6.2 Audits and Inspections. Upon Customer providing at least 14 days prior written request (no more than once every 12 months), Gett shall:

(b) prior to receiving any information pursuant to paragraph 6.2.1 or Gett allowing for or contributing to audits or inspections pursuant to paragraph 6.2.2, each of the Customer and any third-party auditor shall enter into confidentiality undertakings satisfactory to Gett; and

6.3 Upon Gett’s request, Customer shall return all records or documentation in Customer’s possession or control provided by Gett in the context of the audit and/or the inspection. Nothing in this paragraph ‎6.2 varies or modifies the Standard Contractual Clauses nor affects any Supervisory Authority’s or Data Subject’s rights under the Standard Contractual Clauses.

6.4 In the event of an audit or inspections as set forth in paragraph ‎6.2, Customer shall ensure that it (and each of its mandated auditors) will not cause (or, if it cannot avoid, minimize) any damage, injury or disruption to Gett’s premises, equipment, personnel and business while conducting such audit or inspection. 

7. DATA INCIDENT MANAGEMENT AND NOTIFICATION

Gett will maintain security incident management policies and procedures and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, shall notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data Processed by Gett as Processor (a “Data Incident“). Gett shall make reasonable efforts to identify and take those steps as Gett deems necessary and reasonable in order to remediate and/or mitigate the cause of such Data Incident to the extent the remediation and/or mitigation is within Gett’s reasonable control. The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents that are caused by Customer or anyone who uses the Services on Customer’s behalf. Customer will not make, disclose, release or publish any finding, admission of liability, communication, notice, press release or report concerning any Data Incident which directly or indirectly identifies Gett (including in any legal proceeding or in any notification to regulatory or supervisory authorities or affected individuals) without Gett’s prior written approval, unless, and solely to the extent that, Customer is compelled to do so pursuant to applicable Data Protection Laws. In the latter case, unless prohibited by such laws, Customer shall provide Gett with reasonable prior written notice to provide Gett with the opportunity to object to such disclosure and in any case Customer will limit the disclosure to the minimum scope required.

Amendments to this Addendum 

16. The Parties may agree to change Clauses 17 and/or 18 of the Addendum EU SCCs to refer to the laws and/or courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland.

17. If the Parties wish to change the format of the information included in Part 1: Tables of the Approved Addendum, they may do so by agreeing to the change in writing, provided that the change does not reduce the Appropriate Safeguards.

18. From time to time, the ICO may issue a revised Approved Addendum which: 

a. makes reasonable and proportionate changes to the Approved Addendum, including correcting errors in the Approved Addendum; and/or

b. reflects changes to UK Data Protection Laws;

The revised Approved Addendum will specify the start date from which the changes to the Approved Addendum are effective and whether the Parties need to review this Addendum including the Appendix Information. This Addendum is automatically amended as set out in the revised Approved Addendum from the start date specified. 

19. If the ICO issues a revised Approved Addendum under Section ‎18, if any Party selected in Table 4 “Ending the Addendum when the Approved Addendum changes”, will as a direct result of the changes in the Approved Addendum have a substantial, disproportionate and demonstrable increase in: 

a. its direct costs of performing its obligations under the Addendum; and/or 

b. its risk under the Addendum, 

and in either case it has first taken reasonable steps to reduce those costs or risks so that it is not substantial and disproportionate, then that Party may end this Addendum at the end of a reasonable notice period, by providing written notice for that period to the other Party before the start date of the revised Approved Addendum.

20. The Parties do not need the consent of any third party to make changes to this Addendum, but any changes must be made in accordance with its terms.

PART 3 – Additional Safeguards 

1. In the event of an EEA Transfer or a UK Transfer, the Parties agree to supplement these with the following safeguards and representations, where appropriate: 

a. The Processor shall have in place and maintain in accordance with good industry practice measures to protect the Personal Data from interception (including in transit from the Controller to the Processor and between different systems and services). This includes having in place and maintaining network protection intended to deny attackers the ability to intercept data and encryption of Personal Data whilst in transit and at rest intended to deny attackers the ability to read data.

b. The Processor will make commercially reasonable efforts to resist, subject to applicable laws, any request for bulk surveillance relating to the Personal Data protected under GDPR or the UK GDPR, including under section 702 of the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (“FISA”); 

c.  If the Processor becomes aware that any government authority (including law enforcement) wishes to obtain access to or a copy of some or all of the Personal Data, whether on a voluntary or a mandatory basis, then unless legally prohibited or under a mandatory legal compulsion that requires otherwise:

I. The Processor shall inform the relevant government authority that the Processor is a processor of the Personal Data and that the Controller has not authorized the Processor to disclose the Personal Data to the government authority, and inform the relevant government authority that any and all requests or demands for access to the Personal Data should therefore be notified to or served upon the Controller in writing;

II. The Processor will use commercially reasonable legal mechanisms to challenge any such demand for access to Personal Data which is under the Processor’s control. Notwithstanding the above, (a) the Controller acknowledges that such challenge may not always be reasonable or possible in light of the nature, scope, context and purposes of the intended government authority access, and (b) if, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the intended government authority access to Personal Data, the Processor has a reasonable and good-faith belief that urgent access is necessary to prevent an imminent risk of serious harm to any individual or entity, this subsection (e)(II) shall not apply. In such event, the Processor shall notify the Controller, as soon as possible, following the access by the government authority, and provide the Controller with relevant details of the same, unless and to the extent legally prohibited to do so.

2. Once in every 12-month period, the Processor will inform the Controller, at the Controller’s written request, of the types of binding legal demands for Personal Data it has received and solely to the extent such demands have been received, including national security orders and directives, which shall encompass any process issued under section 702 of FISA.
