Data Processing Addendum
This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") forms part of the agreement between the customer identified in an order form or account ("Customer") and SFER LABS LLC, 1201 N. Orange Street, Suite 7691, Wilmington, Delaware 19801-1186, USA ("Company") for Idelio (the "Agreement"). It applies when Company processes Customer Personal Data on Customer's behalf.
1. Definitions
"Applicable Data Protection Law" means privacy and data-protection law applicable to the processing, including where relevant the GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss FADP and U.S. state privacy laws.
"Customer Personal Data" means personal data contained in Input or otherwise submitted by or for Customer to the Service that Company processes as processor or service provider. It excludes data Company processes as independent controller, such as Customer account administration, billing, security, direct business relationship management and Company's own legal compliance, as described in the Privacy Policy.
"Controller," "processor," "personal data," "processing," "data subject" and "personal data breach" have the meanings in Applicable Data Protection Law. "Subprocessor" means another processor engaged by Company to process Customer Personal Data.
2. Roles and instructions
Customer is the controller or a processor acting under a controller's authority. Company is Customer's processor/service provider for Customer Personal Data. Each party will comply with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law.
Company will process Customer Personal Data only:
- a) to provide, secure and support the Service as described in the Agreement and Annex I;
- b) on Customer's documented instructions through use and configuration of the Service;
- c) as required by law, after informing Customer unless law prohibits notice; or
- d) as otherwise agreed in writing.
Company will notify Customer if, in its reasonable opinion, an instruction infringes Applicable Data Protection Law and may suspend the affected processing while the parties resolve it.
Customer is responsible for its instructions, required notices, lawful bases, data accuracy and permissions. Customer will not submit sensitive, special-category, biometric, health, children's or other regulated data unless the parties expressly approve the data and safeguards in an order form.
Company will not sell Customer Personal Data; retain, use or disclose it outside the business purposes in the Agreement; combine it with personal data from other sources except as permitted by applicable U.S. state law to provide the Service; or use it for targeted advertising. Company certifies that it understands and will comply with these restrictions.
3. Confidentiality and personnel
Company ensures that persons authorized to process Customer Personal Data are bound by confidentiality and receive privacy and security training appropriate to their role. Access is limited to personnel who need it for authorized purposes.
4. Security
Company will maintain measures designed to protect Customer Personal Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure. Current minimum measures are in Annex II. Company may update measures without materially reducing overall protection.
Customer is responsible for secure configuration of its account, credentials, access permissions, endpoints, exports and integrations.
5. Subprocessors
Customer gives general written authorization for the Subprocessors listed at https://idelio.pro/legal/technology-vendor-register. Company will:
- a) impose data-protection obligations providing materially equivalent protection;
- b) remain responsible for each Subprocessor's performance to the extent required by law and the Agreement;
- c) maintain a current public register; and
- d) provide at least 30 days' notice before a new Subprocessor begins processing Customer Personal Data, where Customer has subscribed to notices.
Customer may object during the notice period on reasonable data-protection grounds. The parties will work in good faith on a commercially reasonable alternative. If none is available, Customer may stop using the affected feature or terminate the affected Service and receive a pro-rata refund for its unused prepaid portion. This is Customer's sole remedy for a justified Subprocessor objection, except where law requires otherwise.
6. Assistance
Taking into account the nature of processing and information available, Company will reasonably assist Customer with:
- a) data-subject requests;
- b) security and breach obligations;
- c) data-protection impact assessments and prior consultations; and
- d) information needed to demonstrate compliance.
If a data subject contacts Company about Customer Personal Data, Company will refer the request to Customer unless law permits or requires a direct response. Customer is responsible for responding. Additional assistance outside standard Service functionality may be charged at reasonable rates if agreed in advance, except where caused by Company's breach.
7. Personal data breaches
Company will notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a confirmed breach of Customer Personal Data and provide information reasonably available about its nature, likely consequences, affected data and mitigation. Notification is not an admission of fault. Customer is responsible for regulatory and data-subject notifications unless law assigns that duty to Company.
8. Return and deletion
During the term, Customer may access or export Customer Personal Data through available functionality. After termination or Customer's documented deletion instruction, Company will delete or return Customer Personal Data within 30 days, except for:
- a) encrypted backups deleted through normal rotation within 90 days;
- b) data required by law or reasonably needed for legal claims, isolated and protected; and
- c) information irreversibly deidentified so it no longer constitutes personal data.
Subprocessor deletion follows its documented schedule in the register and applicable contract.
9. Audits
Company will make reasonably current third-party certifications, summaries, security materials and compliance information available under appropriate confidentiality. No more than once annually, unless required by a regulator or following a material incident, Customer may request additional written information reasonably necessary to verify compliance.
If that information is insufficient, Customer may conduct an audit through an independent qualified auditor, on reasonable notice, during business hours, without accessing other customers' data or disrupting systems. The parties will agree scope and confidentiality. Customer bears cost unless the audit identifies a material Company breach.
10. International transfers
For restricted transfers of Customer Personal Data from the EEA, the parties incorporate the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by Decision (EU) 2021/914 ("EU SCCs") as follows:
- a) Module Two applies where Customer is a controller and Company is a processor;
- b) Module Three applies where both Customer and Company are processors;
- c) Clause 7 (docking) applies;
- d) for Clause 9, Option 2 and a 30-day notice period apply;
- e) the optional language in Clause 11 does not apply unless required in the Customer's jurisdiction;
- f) in Clauses 17 and 18, the eligible EEA Member State specified in Annex III applies;
- g) Annexes I-III of this DPA complete the corresponding SCC annexes.
For UK restricted transfers, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU SCCs, as issued by the ICO and updated from time to time, is incorporated with the information in this DPA. For Swiss transfers, references in the EU SCCs are adapted as required by the Swiss FADP, and competent Swiss authorities retain their powers.
An applicable adequacy decision or other lawful transfer mechanism takes precedence while valid. The parties will cooperate on a replacement if a mechanism becomes invalid. Company will provide information reasonably needed for transfer assessments and use supplementary measures appropriate to risk.
11. Liability and precedence
The Agreement's liability limitations apply to this DPA to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in this DPA limits data-subject rights or liability that cannot be limited under the EU SCCs or Applicable Data Protection Law.
If documents conflict on Customer Personal Data, the order is: EU SCCs/mandatory transfer terms, this DPA, signed order form, Agreement. This DPA does not change Company's independent-controller processing described in the Privacy Policy.
