These Clauses shall be read and interpreted in the light of the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

These Clauses shall not be interpreted in a way that conflicts with rights and obligations provided for in Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Clause 5

Hierarchy

In the event of a contradiction between these Clauses and the provisions of related agreements between the Parties, existing at the time these Clauses are agreed or entered into thereafter, these Clauses shall prevail.

Clause 6

Description of the transfer(s)

The details of the transfer(s), and in particular the categories of personal data that are transferred and the purpose(s) for which they are transferred, are specified in Annex I.B.

The acceding entity shall have no rights or obligations arising under these Clauses from the period prior to becoming a Party.

SECTION II — OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

Clause 8

Data protection safeguards

The data exporter warrants that it has used reasonable efforts to determine that the data importer is able, through the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures, to satisfy its obligations under these Clauses.

MODULE ONE: Transfer controller to controller

8.1 Purpose limitation

The data importer shall process the personal data only for the specific purpose(s) of the transfer, as set out in Annex I.B. It may only process the personal data for another purpose: (i) where it has obtained the data subject’s prior consent; (ii) where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims in the context of specific administrative, regulatory or judicial proceedings; or (iii) where necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

8.2 Transparency

In order to enable data subjects to effectively exercise their rights pursuant to Clause 10, the data importer shall inform them, either directly or through the data exporter, of its identity and contact details; of the categories of personal data processed; of the right to obtain a copy of these Clauses; and, where it intends to onward transfer the personal data, of the recipient or categories of recipients, the purpose of such onward transfer and the ground therefor pursuant to Clause 8.7. This obligation does not apply where the data subject already has the information or where providing it proves impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort, in which case the data importer shall, to the extent possible, make the information publicly available. On request, the Parties shall make a copy of these Clauses available to the data subject free of charge, subject to appropriate redactions to protect business secrets or other confidential information. These paragraphs are without prejudice to the obligations of the data exporter under Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Clause 9

Use of sub-processors

MODULE TWO and MODULE THREE

OPTION 2: GENERAL WRITTEN AUTHORISATION. The data importer has the data exporter’s (Module Two) or controller’s (Module Three) general authorisation for the engagement of sub-processor(s) from an agreed list. The data importer shall specifically inform the data exporter (or, for Module Three, the controller, and shall inform the data exporter) in writing of any intended changes to that list through the addition or replacement of sub-processors at least thirty (30) days in advance, thereby giving sufficient time to object prior to the engagement of the sub-processor(s), and shall provide the information necessary to enable the exercise of the right to object. The list of authorised sub-processors is set out in Annex III, which the Parties shall keep up to date.

Where the data importer engages a sub-processor, it shall do so by way of a written contract providing, in substance, the same data protection obligations as those binding the data importer under these Clauses, including third-party beneficiary rights for data subjects. By complying with this Clause, the data importer fulfils its obligations under Clause 8.8. The data importer shall ensure the sub-processor complies with the obligations to which the data importer is subject.

The data importer shall provide, at the data exporter’s (or, for Module Three, the data exporter’s or controller’s) request, a copy of the sub-processor agreement and any subsequent amendments, subject to appropriate redactions.

The data importer shall remain fully responsible to the data exporter for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations and shall notify the data exporter of any failure by the sub-processor to fulfil its obligations.

The data importer shall agree a third-party beneficiary clause with the sub-processor whereby, if the data importer has factually disappeared, ceased to exist in law or become insolvent, the data exporter shall have the right to terminate the sub-processor contract and instruct the sub-processor to erase or return the personal data. This requirement may be satisfied by the sub-processor acceding to these Clauses under the appropriate Module in accordance with Clause 7.

Clause 10

Data subject rights

MODULE TWO: Transfer controller to processor

The data importer shall promptly notify the data exporter of any request it has received from a data subject, and shall not respond to that request itself unless authorised to do so by the data exporter.

The data importer shall assist the data exporter in fulfilling its obligations to respond to data subjects’ requests under Regulation (EU) 2016/679. The Parties shall set out in Annex II the appropriate technical and organisational measures by which the assistance shall be provided, and the scope and extent of the assistance required.

In fulfilling its obligations, the data importer shall comply with the instructions from the data exporter.

MODULE THREE: Transfer processor to processor

The data importer shall promptly notify the data exporter and, where appropriate, the controller of any request received from a data subject, without responding unless authorised to do so by the controller.

The data importer shall assist, where appropriate in cooperation with the data exporter, the controller in fulfilling its obligations to respond to data subjects’ requests. The Parties shall set out in Annex II the appropriate measures and the scope and extent of assistance required.

In fulfilling its obligations, the data importer shall comply with the instructions from the controller, as communicated by the data exporter.

Clause 11

Redress

The data importer shall inform data subjects, in a transparent and easily accessible format, through individual notice or on its website, of a contact point authorised to handle complaints, and shall deal promptly with any complaints. In case of a dispute between a data subject and a Party regarding compliance with these Clauses, that Party shall use its best efforts to resolve the issue amicably in a timely fashion, and the Parties shall keep each other informed and cooperate. Where a data subject invokes a third-party beneficiary right, the data importer shall accept the data subject’s decision to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority or to refer the dispute to the competent courts within the meaning of Clause 18. The data subject may be represented by a not-for-profit body, organisation or association under Article 80(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Clause 12

Liability

MODULE TWO and MODULE THREE

Each Party shall be liable to the other Party/ies for any damages it causes the other Party/ies by any breach of these Clauses.

The data importer shall be liable to the data subject, and the data subject shall be entitled to receive compensation, for any material or non-material damages the data importer or its sub-processor causes the data subject by breaching the third-party beneficiary rights under these Clauses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the data exporter shall be liable to the data subject for any material or non-material damages the data exporter or the data importer (or its sub-processor) causes by breaching the third-party beneficiary rights, without prejudice to the liability of the data exporter (and, where it is a processor acting for a controller, the controller) under Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Where the data exporter is held liable for damages caused by the data importer (or its sub-processor), it shall be entitled to claim back from the data importer the corresponding part of the compensation. Where more than one Party is responsible, all responsible Parties shall be jointly and severally liable, with rights of contribution between them. The data importer may not invoke the conduct of a sub-processor to avoid its own liability.

Clause 13

Supervision

The competent supervisory authority is identified in Annex I.C. The data importer agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of and cooperate with the competent supervisory authority in any procedures aimed at ensuring compliance with these Clauses, including responding to enquiries, submitting to audits, and complying with measures adopted by the authority, and shall provide written confirmation that the necessary actions have been taken.

SECTION III — LOCAL LAWS AND OBLIGATIONS IN CASE OF ACCESS BY PUBLIC AUTHORITIES

Clause 14

Local laws and practices affecting compliance with the Clauses

The Parties warrant that they have no reason to believe that the laws and practices in the third country of destination applicable to the processing of the personal data by the data importer, including any requirements to disclose personal data or measures authorising access by public authorities, prevent the data importer from fulfilling its obligations under these Clauses. In providing this warranty, the Parties have taken due account in particular of: the specific circumstances of the transfer; the laws and practices of the third country of destination relevant in light of those circumstances, and the applicable limitations and safeguards; and any relevant contractual, technical or organisational safeguards put in place to supplement the safeguards under these Clauses. The data importer warrants that it has made its best efforts to provide the data exporter with relevant information and will continue to cooperate. The Parties agree to document the assessment and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request. The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter promptly if it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or practices not in line with these requirements; following such notification, or where the data exporter otherwise has reason to believe the data importer can no longer fulfil its obligations, the data exporter shall promptly identify appropriate measures and, if no appropriate safeguards can be ensured (or if instructed by the competent supervisory authority), shall suspend the transfer and may terminate the contract insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses.

Clause 15

Obligations of the data importer in case of access by public authorities

15.1 Notification

The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter and, where possible, the data subject promptly if it receives a legally binding request from a public authority for disclosure of personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses, or becomes aware of any direct access by public authorities, including the information specified in the Clauses. If prohibited from notifying, the data importer agrees to use its best efforts to obtain a waiver of the prohibition and to document those efforts. Where permissible, the data importer shall provide the data exporter, at regular intervals, with relevant information on the requests received, and shall preserve such information for the duration of the contract and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.

15.2 Review of legality and data minimisation

The data importer agrees to review the legality of any request for disclosure, to challenge the request where it concludes on reasonable grounds that it is unlawful, and to pursue possibilities of appeal, seeking interim measures and not disclosing the requested personal data until required to do so under the applicable procedural rules. The data importer agrees to document its legal assessment and any challenge and, to the extent permissible, make it available to the data exporter and the competent supervisory authority. The data importer agrees to provide the minimum amount of information permissible when responding to a request, based on a reasonable interpretation of it.

SECTION IV — FINAL PROVISIONS

Clause 16

Non-compliance with the Clauses and termination

The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter if it is unable to comply with these Clauses. Where the data importer is in breach or unable to comply, the data exporter shall suspend the transfer until compliance is again ensured or the contract is terminated. The data exporter may terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses, where: (i) it has suspended the transfer and compliance is not restored within a reasonable time and in any event within one month of suspension; (ii) the data importer is in substantial or persistent breach; or (iii) the data importer fails to comply with a binding decision of a competent court or supervisory authority. Personal data transferred prior to termination shall, at the choice of the data exporter, be returned or deleted in its entirety, including copies, and the data importer shall certify deletion. Either Party may revoke its agreement to be bound where the European Commission adopts an adequacy decision covering the transfer or Regulation (EU) 2016/679 becomes part of the legal framework of the country to which the data is transferred.

Clause 17

Governing law

These Clauses are governed by the law of an EU Member State, provided such law allows for third-party beneficiary rights. The Parties agree that this shall be the law of the Netherlands.

Clause 18

Choice of forum and jurisdiction

Any dispute arising from these Clauses shall be resolved by the courts of an EU Member State, and the Parties agree that those shall be the courts of the Netherlands. A data subject may also bring legal proceedings against the data exporter and/or data importer before the courts of the Member State in which he/she has his/her habitual residence. The Parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

APPENDIX 5:

UK INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER ADDENDUM

This Addendum has been issued by the Information Commissioner for Parties making Restricted Transfers. The Information Commissioner considers that it provides Appropriate Safeguards for Restricted Transfers when it is entered into as a legally binding contract.

Part 1: Tables

Table 1 (Parties): The Exporter (who sends the Restricted Transfer) and the Importer (who receives the Restricted Transfer) and their details are as specified in the Agreement. Start Date: the Effective Date of the Agreement.

Table 2 (Selected SCCs, Modules and Selected Clauses): The version of the Approved EU SCCs to which this Addendum is appended, including the Appendix Information, is the version set out in Appendix 4 to this DPA.

Table 3 (Appendix Information): “Appendix Information” means the information which must be provided for the selected modules as set out in the Appendix of the Approved EU SCCs (other than the Parties), and which for this Addendum is set out in the Annexes to the Standard Contractual Clauses in Appendix 4 to this DPA.

Table 4 (Ending this Addendum when the Approved Addendum changes): Either the Importer or the Exporter may end this Addendum as set out in Section 19 of the Mandatory Clauses.

Part 2: Mandatory Clauses

Each Party agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set out in this Addendum, in exchange for the other Party also agreeing to be bound by this Addendum. Although Annex 1.A. and Clause 7 of the Approved EU SCCs require signature by the Parties, for the purpose of making Restricted Transfers the Parties may enter into this Addendum in any way that makes them legally binding on the Parties and allows data subjects to enforce their rights as set out in this Addendum. Entering into this Addendum will have the same effect as signing the Approved EU SCCs and any part of the Approved EU SCCs.

Interpretation of this Addendum

When this Addendum uses terms that are defined in the Approved EU SCCs, those terms shall have the same meaning as in the Approved EU SCCs. In addition: “Addendum” means this International Data Transfer Addendum, incorporating the Addendum EU SCCs; “Addendum EU SCCs” means the version(s) of the Approved EU SCCs to which this Addendum is appended, including the Appendix Information; “Appropriate Safeguards” means the standard of protection over the personal data and of data subjects’ rights required by UK Data Protection Laws when making a Restricted Transfer relying on standard data protection clauses under Article 46(2)(d) UK GDPR; “Approved Addendum” means the template Addendum issued by the ICO and laid before Parliament under s119A of the Data Protection Act 2018 on 2 February 2022, as revised under Section 18; “Approved EU SCCs” means the Standard Contractual Clauses set out in the Annex of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021; “ICO” means the Information Commissioner; “Restricted Transfer” means a transfer which is covered by Chapter V of the UK GDPR; “UK” means the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; “UK Data Protection Laws” means all laws relating to data protection, the processing of personal data, privacy and/or electronic communications in force from time to time in the UK, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018; and “UK GDPR” has the meaning given in section 3 of the Data Protection Act 2018.

This Addendum must always be interpreted in a manner consistent with UK Data Protection Laws and so that it fulfils the Parties’ obligations to provide the Appropriate Safeguards. If any provision of the Addendum EU SCCs amends the Approved EU SCCs in a way not permitted under the Approved EU SCCs or the Approved Addendum, that amendment will not be incorporated and the equivalent provision of the Approved EU SCCs will take its place. If there is any inconsistency or conflict between UK Data Protection Laws and this Addendum, UK Data Protection Laws apply; and where the meaning is unclear, the meaning that most closely aligns with UK Data Protection Laws applies. References to legislation mean that legislation as it may change over time.

Although Clause 5 of the Approved EU SCCs sets out that the Approved EU SCCs prevail over all related agreements, the Parties agree that, for Restricted Transfers, the hierarchy in Section 10 of the Mandatory Clauses will prevail. Where there is any inconsistency or conflict between the Approved Addendum and the Addendum EU SCCs, the Approved Addendum overrides the Addendum EU SCCs, except where the conflicting terms of the Addendum EU SCCs provide greater protection for data subjects, in which case those terms override the Approved Addendum.

Incorporation of and changes to the EU SCCs

This Addendum incorporates the Addendum EU SCCs which are amended to the extent necessary so that: (a) together they operate for data transfers made by the data exporter to the data importer, to the extent that UK Data Protection Laws apply to the data exporter’s processing, and they provide Appropriate Safeguards for those transfers; (b) Sections 9 to 11 of the Mandatory Clauses override Clause 5 (Hierarchy) of the Addendum EU SCCs; and (c) this Addendum is governed by the laws of England and Wales and any dispute arising from it is resolved by the courts of England and Wales, unless the laws and/or courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland have been expressly selected by the Parties.

The following amendments to the Addendum EU SCCs are made: references to the “Clauses” mean this Addendum, incorporating the Addendum EU SCCs; in Clause 2, the words “and, with respect to data transfers from controllers to processors and/or processors to processors, standard contractual clauses pursuant to Article 28(7) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679” are deleted; Clause 6 is replaced with: “The details of the transfer(s), and in particular the categories of personal data that are transferred and the purpose(s) for which they are transferred, are those specified in Annex I.B where UK Data Protection Laws apply to the data exporter’s processing when making that transfer”; Clause 8.7(i) of Module One and Clause 8.8(i) of Modules Two and Three are replaced to refer to a country benefitting from adequacy regulations pursuant to Section 17A of the UK GDPR; references to “Regulation (EU) 2016/679” and “that Regulation” are replaced by “UK Data Protection Laws,” and references to specific Articles by the equivalent Article or Section of UK Data Protection Laws; references to Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 are removed; references to the “European Union,” “Union,” “EU,” “EU Member State,” “Member State” and “EU or Member State” are replaced with the “UK”; the reference to “Clause 12(c)(i)” at Clause 10(b)(i) of Module One is replaced with “Clause 11(c)(i)”; Clause 13(a) and Part C of Annex I are not used; “competent supervisory authority” and “supervisory authority” are replaced with the “Information Commissioner”; in Clause 16(e), subsection (i) is replaced with “the Secretary of State makes regulations pursuant to Section 17A of the Data Protection Act 2018 that cover the transfer of personal data to which these Clauses apply”; Clause 17 is replaced with “These Clauses are governed by the laws of England and Wales”; and Clause 18 is replaced with “Any dispute arising from these Clauses shall be resolved by the courts of England and Wales. A data subject may also bring legal proceedings against the data exporter and/or data importer before the courts of any country in the UK. The Parties agree to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of such courts.” The footnotes to the Approved EU SCCs do not form part of the Addendum, except for footnotes 8, 9, 10 and 11.

Amendments to this Addendum

The Parties may agree to change Clause 17 and/or 18 of the Addendum EU SCCs to refer to the laws and/or courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland, and may change the format of the information in Part 1: Tables by written agreement, provided the change does not reduce the Appropriate Safeguards. From time to time the ICO may issue a revised Approved Addendum that makes reasonable and proportionate changes and/or reflects changes to UK Data Protection Laws; this Addendum is automatically amended as set out in the revised Approved Addendum from the start date specified. Where a revised Approved Addendum would, as a direct result, cause a Party selected in Table 4 to incur a substantial, disproportionate and demonstrable increase in its direct costs and/or risk under the Addendum (having first taken reasonable steps to reduce them), that Party may end this Addendum at the end of a reasonable notice period by written notice given before the start date of the revised Approved Addendum. 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.

  6. SUBPROCESSING

    1. Specific Consent. Client specifically authorizes Stellar Cyber to engage as Subprocessors those entities listed as of the effective date of this DPA as set out in Section 6.2 (Subprocessor Details).

SECTION II — OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

    Clause 8

    Data protection safeguards

    The data exporter warrants that it has used reasonable efforts to determine that the data importer is able, through the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures, to satisfy its obligations under these Clauses.

    MODULE ONE: Transfer controller to controller

  1. Purpose limitation

    The data importer shall process the personal data only for the specific purpose(s) of the transfer, as set out in Annex I.B. It may only process the personal data for another purpose: (i) where it has obtained the data subject’s prior consent; (ii) where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims in the context of specific administrative, regulatory or judicial proceedings; or (iii) where necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

  2. Transparency

    In order to enable data subjects to effectively exercise their rights pursuant to Clause 10, the data importer shall inform them, either directly or through the data exporter, of its identity and contact details; of the categories of personal data processed; of the right to obtain a copy of these Clauses; and, where it intends to onward transfer the personal data, of the recipient or categories of recipients, the purpose of such onward transfer and the ground therefor pursuant to Clause 8.7. This obligation does not apply where the data subject already has the information or where providing it proves impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort, in which case the data importer shall, to the extent possible, make the information publicly available. On request, the Parties shall make a copy of these Clauses available to the data subject free of charge, subject to appropriate redactions to protect business secrets or other confidential information. These paragraphs are without prejudice to the obligations of the data exporter under Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

  3. Accuracy and data minimization

    Each Party shall ensure that the personal data is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date, and shall take every reasonable step to ensure that inaccurate data is erased or rectified without delay. Where a Party becomes aware that personal data it has transferred or received is inaccurate or outdated, it shall inform the other Party without undue delay. The data importer shall ensure that the personal data is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purpose(s) of processing.

  4. Storage limitation

    The data importer shall retain the personal data for no longer than necessary for the purpose(s) for which it is processed, and shall put in place appropriate technical or organizational measures to ensure compliance with this obligation, including erasure or anonymization of the data and all back-ups at the end of the retention period.

  5. Security of processing

    The data importer and, during transmission, also the data exporter shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of the personal data, including protection against a personal data breach, taking due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context and purpose(s) of processing and the risks involved. The Parties have agreed on the measures set out in Annex II, and the data importer shall carry out regular checks to ensure they continue to provide an appropriate level of security. The data importer shall ensure that persons authorized to process the personal data are subject to confidentiality. In the event of a personal data breach, the data importer shall take appropriate measures to address it and, where it is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, shall without undue delay notify both the data exporter and the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Clause 13, with the information required by the Clauses; where likely to result in a high risk, it shall also notify the affected data subjects unless mitigating measures have been applied. The data importer shall document all relevant facts relating to the breach.

  6. Sensitive data

    Where the transfer involves sensitive data, the data importer shall apply specific restrictions and/or additional safeguards adapted to the specific nature of the data and the risks involved.

  7. Onward transfers

    The data importer shall not disclose the personal data to a third party located outside the European Union unless the third party is or agrees to be bound by these Clauses, under the appropriate Module, or unless one of the conditions set out in Clause 8.7(i)–(vi) of the Approved EU SCCs applies (including transfer to an adequate country, appropriate safeguards under Articles 46 or 47, a binding instrument ensuring equivalent protection, necessity for legal claims, protection of vital interests, or the data subject’s explicit consent). Any onward transfer is subject to compliance by the data importer with all the other safeguards under these Clauses, in particular purpose limitation.

  8. Processing under the authority of the data importer

    The data importer shall ensure that any person acting under its authority, including a processor, processes the data only on its instructions.

  9. Documentation and compliance

    Each Party shall be able to demonstrate compliance with its obligations under these Clauses. In particular, the data importer shall keep appropriate documentation of the processing activities carried out under its responsibility and shall make such documentation available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
