All capitalized terms not defined in this DPA shall have the meanings set forth in the Terms. User enters into this DPA on behalf of itself and, to the extent required under Data Protection Laws, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates (defined below).
THIS DPA IS ACCEPTED BY THE USER BY VIRTUE OF THE USER ACCEPTING THE TERMS UPON BUYING A SUBCRIPTION FROM SMARTLEAD. THIS DPA CONSTITUTES PART OF THE TERMS.
The parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions
In this Data Processing Addendum, the following capitalised terms have the following meaning:
2. Scope and Applicability of this DPA
- Application. This DPA applies where and only to the extent that Smartlead processes Personal Data on behalf of the User in the course of providing the Service and such Personal Data is subject to Data Protection Laws of the European Union, the European Economic Area and/or their member states, Switzerland and/or the United Kingdom. The parties agree to comply with the terms and conditions in this DPA in connection with such Personal Data.
- Role of the Parties. As between Smartlead and User, User is the Controller of Personal Data and Smartlead shall process Personal Data only as a Processor on behalf of User. Nothing in the Terms or this DPA shall prevent Smartlead from using or sharing any data that Smartlead would otherwise collect and process independently of User's use of the Service.
- User Obligations. User agrees that (i) it shall comply with its obligations as a Controller under Data Protection Laws in respect of its processing of Personal Data and any processing instructions it issues to Smartlead; and (ii) it has provided notice and obtained (or shall obtain) all consents and rights necessary under Data Protection Laws for Smartlead to process Personal Data and provide the Service pursuant to the Terms and this DPA.
- Smartlead Processing of Personal Data. As a Processor, Smartlead shall process Personal Data only for the following purposes: (i) processing to perform the Service in accordance with the Terms; (ii) processing to perform any steps necessary for the performance of the Terms; (iii) to comply with other reasonable instructions provided by User to the extent they are consistent with the terms of this Terms and only in accordance with User’s documented lawful instructions; and (iv) on an aggregated and anonymised basis only, for its own internal analysis and improvement of the Service. The parties agree that this DPA and the Terms set out the User’s complete and final instructions to Smartlead in relation to the processing of Personal Data and processing outside the scope of these instructions (if any) shall require prior written agreement between User and Smartlead.
- Nature of the Data. Smartlead handles User Data provided by User. Such User Data may contain special categories of data depending on how the Service are used by User. The User Data may be subject to the following process activities: (i) storage and other processing necessary to provide, maintain and improve the Service provided to User; (ii) to provide customer and technical support to User; and (iii) disclosures as required by law or otherwise set forth in the Terms.
- Smartlead Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms (including this DPA), User acknowledges that Smartlead shall have a right to use and disclose data relating to and/or obtained in connection with the operation, support and/or use of the Service for its legitimate business purposes, such as billing, account management, technical support, product development and sales and marketing. To the extent any such data is considered personal data under Data Protection Laws, Smartlead is the Controller of such data and accordingly shall process such data in compliance with Data Protection Laws.
3. Sub-processing
- Authorized Sub-processors. User agrees that Smartlead may engage Sub-processors to process Personal Data on User's behalf. The Sub-processors currently engaged by Smartlead and authorized by User are listed in Exhibit A, Annex III and can be requested by User.
- Sub-processor Obligations. Smartlead shall: (i) enter into a written agreement with the Sub-processor imposing data protection terms that require the Sub-processor to protect the Personal Data to the standard required by Data Protection Laws; and (ii) remain responsible for its compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of the Sub-processor that cause Smartlead to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.
- Changes to Sub-processors. Smartlead shall update the list of Authorized Sub-processors from time to time and the User shall have deemed to accept any changes by accepting the Terms with Smartlead.
- Objection to Sub-processors. User may object in writing to Smartlead’s appointment of a new Sub-processor on reasonable grounds relating to data protection by notifying Smartlead promptly in writing within five (5) calendar days of receipt of Smartlead’s notice in accordance with Section 3.3. Such notice shall explain the reasonable grounds for the objection. In such event, the parties shall discuss such concerns in good faith with a view to achieving commercially reasonable resolution. If this is not possible, either party may terminate the applicable Service that cannot be provided by Smartlead without the use of the objected-to-new Sub-processor.
4. Security
- Security Measures. Smartlead shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect Personal Data from Security Incidents and to preserve the security and confidentiality of the Personal Data, in accordance with Smartlead's security standards described in Exhibit B (“Security Measures”).
- Confidentiality of Processing. Smartlead shall ensure that any person who is authorized by Smartlead to process Personal Data (including its staff, agents and subcontractors) shall be under an appropriate obligation of confidentiality (whether a contractual or statutory duty).
- Security Incident Response. Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, Smartlead shall notify User without undue delay and shall provide timely information relating to the Security Incident as it becomes known or as is reasonably requested by User.
- Updates to Security Measures. User acknowledges that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that Smartlead 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 purchased by the User.
5. Security Reports and Audits
- Smartlead shall maintain records of its security standards. Upon User's written request, Smartlead shall provide (on a confidential basis) copies of relevant certifications, audit report summaries and/or other documentation reasonably required by User to verify Smartlead's compliance with this DPA. Smartlead shall further provide written responses (on a confidential basis) to all reasonable requests for information made by User, including responses to information security and audit questionnaires, that User (acting reasonably) considers necessary to confirm Smartlead's compliance with this DPA, provided that User shall not exercise this right more than once per year.
6. International Transfers
- Processing Locations. Smartlead stores and processes EU and UK Data (defined below) in data centres located inside and outside the European Union and the UK. All other User Data may be transferred and processed in the United States, Australia, Europe, India and anywhere in the world where User, its Affiliates and/or its Sub-processors maintain data processing operations. Smartlead shall implement appropriate safeguards to protect the Personal Data, wherever it is processed, in accordance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws.
- Transfer Mechanism. Notwithstanding Section 6.1, to the extent Smartlead processes or transfers (directly or via onward transfer) Personal Data under this DPA from the European Union, the European Economic Area and/or their member states and Switzerland or the UK (“EU and UK Data”) in or to countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of applicable Data Protection Laws of the foregoing territories, the parties agree to abide by and process EU and UK Data in compliance with the Approved EU SCCs and the UK Addendum in the form set out in Exhibit A.
7. Return or Deletion of Data
- Upon deactivation of the Service, all Personal Data shall be deleted within 90 days subject to full User payment of any outstanding invoices, save that this requirement shall not apply to the extent Smartlead is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Personal Data, or to Personal Data it has archived on back-up systems, which such Personal Data Smartlead shall securely isolate and protect from any further processing, except to the extent required by applicable law.
8. Cooperation
- To the extent that User is unable to independently access the relevant Personal Data within the Service, Smartlead shall (at User's expense) take into account the nature of the processing, provide reasonable cooperation to assist User by appropriate technical and organizational measures, in so far as is possible, to respond to any requests from individuals or applicable data protection authorities relating to the processing of Personal Data under the Terms. In the event that any such request is made directly to Smartlead, Smartlead shall not respond to such communication directly without User's prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so. If Smartlead is required to respond to such a request, Smartlead shall promptly notify User and provide it with a copy of the request unless legally prohibited from doing so.
- To the extent Smartlead is required under Data Protection Law, Smartlead shall (at User's expense) provide reasonably requested information regarding Smartlead's processing of Personal Data under the Terms to enable the User to carry out data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with data protection authorities as required by law.
