2 Both parties will comply with all applicable requirements of Applicable Data Protection Laws. This DPA is in addition to and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party’s obligations or rights under Applicable Data Protection Laws.
3 The parties have determined that for the purposes of Applicable Data Protection Laws:
3.1 Unleash shall process the personal data as described in Schedule 2 as processor on behalf of the Customer; and
3.2 Unleash shall act as controller of the personal data ancillary to the Services, such as personal data processed in connection with its sales, marketing or administration activities.
4 Should the determination in section 3 change or the type of data processed during the course of the agreement change, the parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to make any changes that are necessary to this DPA and Schedule 2.
5 Customer is not permitted to process sensitive personal data nor data which attracts elevated processing risks such as children’s data, national ID numbers, payment card data etc, without prior notification to Unleash and Customer’s provision of an updated Schedule 2 to Unleash which describes the processing. Unleash disclaims all responsibility for any processing of such personal data which occurs where Unleash has not been notified.
6 If Customer is processing the personal data described in section 5, Unleash may choose to suspend the Services or terminate this agreement with no further liability nor obligation to Customer.
7 Unleash is under no obligation to provide the Services where the Customer’s use of the Services is not in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
8 Without prejudice to the generality of section 2, the Customer will ensure that it has all necessary appropriate consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of Unleash Personal Data and Customer Personal Data to Unleash and, where relevant, its affiliates and lawful collection of the same by Unleash for the duration and purposes of this agreement.
9 In relation to the Customer Personal Data, Schedule 2 sets out the scope, nature and purpose of processing by Unleash, the duration of the processing and the types of personal data and categories of data subject.
10 Without prejudice to the generality of section 2, Unleash shall, in relation to Customer Personal Data:
10.1 process that Customer Personal Data only on the documented instructions of the Customer unless Unleash is required by applicable laws to otherwise process that Customer Personal Data (Purpose). Where Unleash is relying on applicable laws as the basis for processing Customer Personal Data, Unleash shall notify the Customer of this before performing the processing required by the applicable laws unless those applicable laws prohibit Unleash from so notifying the Customer on important grounds of public interest. Unleash shall inform the Customer if, in the opinion of Unleash, the instructions of the Customer infringe Applicable Data Protection Laws;
10.2 implement the technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of Customer Personal Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Customer Personal Data, which the Customer has reviewed and confirms are appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures;
10.3 ensure that any personnel engaged and authorised by Unleash to process Customer Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory or common law obligation of confidentiality;
10.4 assist the Customer insofar as this is possible (taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Unleash), and at the Customer’s cost and written request, in responding to any request from a data subject and in ensuring the Customer’s compliance with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators;
10.5 notify the Customer without undue delay on becoming aware of a personal data breach involving the Customer Personal Data;
10.6 at the written direction of the Customer provided within 30 days of termination of the agreement, delete or return Customer Personal Data and copies thereof to the Customer on termination of the agreement unless Unleash is required by Applicable Law to continue to process that Customer Personal Data. If no direction is provided by Customer within 30 days of termination of the agreement, the Customer Personal Data shall be deleted. For the purposes of this clause, Customer Personal Data shall be considered deleted where it is put beyond further use by Unleash; and
10.7 maintain records to demonstrate its compliance with this DPA, and allow for reasonable audits by the Customer or the Customer’s designated auditor, for this purpose, on reasonable written notice.
10.8 The Customer provides its prior, general authorisation for Unleash to appoint processors to process the Customer Personal Data, provided that Unleash:
(a) shall ensure that the terms on which it appoints such processors comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws, and are consistent with the obligations imposed on Unleash in this DPA;
(b) shall remain responsible for the acts and omission of any such processor as if they were the acts and omissions of Unleash; and
(c) shall inform the Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of the processors, and Customer shall have 21 days to object to such changes. If Customer fails to object to such change within this time, Customer is deemed to have consented to such change. If the Customer objects to the changes within such 21 day period and an amicable resolution of the objection fails, Customer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may provide written notice to Unleash terminating the Main Agreement. Unleash will refund Customer any prepaid unused fees of such Services following the effective date of termination.
