Last Updated: March 17, 2021
This Data Processing Addendum (this “DPA”) is an addendum to, and forms part of, a Customer Agreement that governs your access to and use of the ManageXR Platform and related Services made available by Mighty Immersion.
Capitalized terms used in this DPA have the meaning set forth herein or have the respective meanings provided in your Customer Agreement. In the event of any direct conflicts between the terms of your Customer Agreement and the terms of the DPA, the terms of this DPA shall control. This DPA shall be effective contemporaneously with your agreement to and acceptance of your Customer Agreement and shall terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of your Customer Agreement.
While our Services are not designed to collect significant levels of Personal Information, Mighty Immersion does require certain Personal Information from Authorized Users (e.g. name, email address, etc.) in order to register those Authorized Users with the Services and to facilitate their ongoing use of the Services. This DPA applies to that Authorized User Personal Information that Mighty Immersion accesses or receives during the course of performing the Services. With the exception of Personal Information from Authorized Users, please note that Mighty Immersion does not collect any other Personal Information during the course of performing the Services and Customer is not authorized to use the Services to process or store any Personal Information under the Customer Agreement.
The Parties hereby agree as follows:
- Definitions. For purposes of this DPA, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
- “Mighty Immersion”, “Company”, “us”, “we” or similar terms means Mighty Immersion, Inc.
- “Customer Agreement” means the ManageXR Terms of Service or another written contract mutually agreed to between Mighty Immersion and Customer that incorporates this DPA by reference.
- “Data Protection Laws” means (a) the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and any applicable laws and/or regulations that implement and/or exercise derogations under it and/or replace or supersede it (including as it forms part of retained EU law as defined in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) (“GDPR”); (b) all applicable data protection and privacy legislation in force from time to time in the UK including (without limitation) the Data Protection Act 2018; (c) any other European legislation relating to personal data and all other European legislation and regulatory requirements in force from time to time which apply to a Party relating to the use of personal data; (d) the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (Cal. Civ. Code 1798.100 – 1798.199) (“CCPA”) and other data protection or privacy laws applicable to personal information or personal data in the United States; and (e) each of the aforementioned as amended or updated from time to time.
- “European Economic Area” or “EEA” means the Member States of the European Union together with Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein.
- “Personal Information” means (i) the Personal Information (as defined in your Customer Agreement) processed by Mighty Immersion on Customer’s behalf in the course of providing the Services to Customer, and (ii) any other data or information that is considered “personal data” as defined by GDPR, “personal information” as defined by CCPA, and other similar terms as defined by applicable Data Protection Laws to the extent that such information is processed by Mighty Immersion on Customer’s behalf in the course of providing the Services to Customer. Personal Information that is subject to GDPR includes the Personal Information described in Exhibit 1.
- The terms “controller”, “data protection impact assessment”, “data subject”, “personal data”, “personal data breach”, “processor”, “processing”, “service provider” and “supervisory authority” shall be as defined under relevant Data Protection Laws.
- Processing of Personal Information.
- General. Mighty Immersion shall comply with its obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws when processing Personal Information. The subject-matter of such processing is providing and making available our ManageXR Platform and related Services to Customer and such processing will continue until Customer’s Customer Agreement terminates or expires. Exhibit 1 attached hereto sets out the nature and purpose of the processing, the types of Personal Information we process and the data subjects whose Personal Information is processed.
- Roles of the Parties. Mighty Immersion and Customer acknowledge that the status of each Party is a question of fact determined under applicable Data Protection Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, Mighty Immersion and Customer agree that in relation to the Personal Information processed under this Agreement, for purposes of the CCPA, Mighty Immersion is a “service provider” and may collect, retain, access, maintain, use, disclose, process and transfer the Personal Information of its Customer and their Authorized Users solely for the purpose of performing the Services, and for no other commercial purpose. For purposes of the CCPA, Customer is a “business”. In such capacity, Customer is primarily responsible for determining the processes and means by which their Personal Information is processed, and for ensuring their processing of Personal Information is compliant with all relevant Data Protection Laws, including the CCPA. For purposes of GDPR, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Mighty Immersion acts as a “Processor” and the Customer act as a “Controller.”
- Data Processing, Transfers and Sales. Each Customer hereby instructs Mighty Immersion to retain, use, disclose and otherwise process the Personal Information of its Authorized Users for the following purposes, and each Customer shall provide the Personal Information to Mighty Immersion only for the following purposes, and Mighty Immersion shall only retain, use, disclose or otherwise process the Personal Information of Authorized Users for the following purposes:
- to provide the Services to the Customer in accordance with the Customer Agreement;
- as otherwise set out in the Customer Agreement and this DPA; and/or
- as otherwise instructed in writing by the Customer to Mighty Immersion, which Mighty Immersion acknowledges to be instructions for the purposes of this DPA, unless a different manner of processing is required pursuant to any other applicable law to which Mighty Immersion is subject, in which case Mighty Immersion shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, inform the Customer of that legal requirement before processing that particular Personal Information.
- Final Agreement. The Customer Agreement and this DPA shall be and are the Customer’s complete and final instructions to Mighty Immersion in relation to the processing of the Personal Information. Processing outside the scope of this DPA and the Customer Agreement will require prior written agreement between Customer and Mighty Immersion on additional instructions for such processing. If we reasonably believe any instruction Customer has provided with respect to the processing of Personal Information violates applicable Data Protection Laws, we shall notify Customer.
- Limited Use. Mighty Immersion shall not retain, use, disclose or otherwise process Personal Information for any purpose other than for the specific purposes identified above, in the Customer Agreement or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable Data Protection Laws or otherwise pre-approved by Customer in writing. Mighty Immersion does not “sell” (as defined by applicable Data Protection Laws) Personal Information of Authorized Users, which means that Mighty Immersion does not and shall not rent, disclose, transfer, make available or otherwise communicate Personal Information of Customer to any third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. In other words, neither Mighty Immersion, nor any of its nor any of its employees, agents, consultants or assigns shall have any right to process any of Customer’s Personal Information for their own commercial benefit in any form.
- Aggregated or Anonymized Information. Mighty Immersion may collect, use, retain, access, share, transfer, sell, or disclose information that (i) has been deidentified, anonymized or aggregated consistent with the terms and conditions of applicable Data Protection Laws or (ii) any information that is not Personal Information consistent with the terms of the Customer Agreement. Among other things, this means that Mighty Immersion may share aggregated and/or anonymized information regarding the use or results of the Services with third parties to assist with developing and improving the Services or to third parties for commercial purposes. Without limiting the above, this DPA does not apply to any data related to a Customer’s and its Authorized User’s use of the Services unless it is Personal Information (e.g. this does not apply to Platform analytics, activity logs, use patterns, etc.).
- Certification. Mighty Immersion hereby certifies that it understands its restrictions and obligations set forth in this Addendum and will comply with them.
- Required Consents. As the data Controller or business under applicable Data Protection Laws, please note that Customer is responsible for obtaining all necessary consents, and giving all necessary notices, to its Authorized Users related to Mighty Immersion’s processing of Personal Information in connection with the Services, including any consents or notices required by this DPA or your applicable Customer Agreement. With this in mind, Customer hereby warrants and represents that: (a) it has provided all applicable notices to its Authorized Users required for the lawful processing of their Personal Information by Mighty Immersion in accordance with the Customer Agreement and this DPA; and (b) in respect of any Personal Information collected or processed by Mighty Immersion on behalf of the Customer, it has obtained all necessary consents and rights for the lawful processing of that Personal Information by Mighty Immersion in accordance with the Customer Agreement and this DPA.
- Assistance. Where applicable, taking into account the nature of the processing, and to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, Mighty Immersion shall provide the Customer with any information or assistance reasonably requested or required by the Customer for the purpose of complying with any of the Customer’s obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws, including: (i) using reasonable efforts to assist the Customer by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is reasonably possible, for the fulfillment of Customer’s obligation to respond to requests by Authorized Users to exercise rights laid provided by applicable Data Protection Laws, including providing reasonable documentation, product functionality and/or processes to assist Customer in retrieving, deleting or restricting Personal Information; and (ii) providing reasonable assistance to the Customer with any data protection impact assessments and responding to or assisting with any requests from or consultations to any governmental, regulatory or supervisory authorities relevant to Customer, in each case solely in relation to processing of the Personal Data and taking into account the information available to Mighty Immersion.
- Access Requests. If Mighty Immersion receives a request submitted by an Authorized User to exercise a right it has under any Data Protection Laws in relation to that Authorized User’s Personal Information, it will provide a copy of the request to the Customer. The Customer will be responsible for handling and communicating with the Authorized User in relation to such requests and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Mighty Immersion shall not respond to the Authorized User.
- Government Requests. Mighty Immersion shall notify Customer of any request for the disclosure of Personal Information by a governmental or regulatory body or law enforcement authority (including any data protection supervisory authority) unless otherwise prohibited by law or a legally binding order of such body or agency.
- Audits. Provided that Customer has or does enter into a non-disclosure agreement acceptable to Mighty Immersion, Mighty Immersion shall (i) allow Customer and its authorized representatives who are reasonably acceptable to Mighty Immersion (who have also signed a non-disclosure agreement acceptable to Mighty Immersion) to access and review any Mighty Immersion documentation, certifications or other reports or files reasonably required to ensure compliance with the terms of this DPA; or (ii) where required by Data Protection Law or the Standard Contractual Clauses (and in accordance with this Section), allow Customer and its authorized representatives who are reasonably acceptable to Mighty Immersion (who have also signed a non-disclosure agreement acceptable to Mighty Immersion) to conduct reasonable audits (including inspections) during the term of the Customer Agreement to ensure compliance with the terms of this DPA.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any audit must be conducted during our regular business hours, with reasonable advance notice to us (at least 20 business days) and subject to reasonable confidentiality procedures. The scope of any audit shall not require us to disclose to Customer or its authorized representatives, or to allow Customer or its authorized representatives to access: (1) any data or information of any other Mighty Immersion customer; (2) any Mighty Immersion internal accounting or financial information; (3) any Mighty Immersion trade secret; (4) any information that, in our reasonable opinion could: (a) compromise the security of our systems or premises; or (b) cause us to breach our obligations under Data Protection Law or our security, confidentiality and or privacy obligations to any other Mighty Immersion customer or any third party; or (5) any information that Customer or its authorized representatives seek to access for any reason other than the good faith fulfillment of Customer’s obligations under the Data Protection Laws and our compliance with the terms of this DPA.
In addition, audits shall be limited to once per year, unless (x) we have experienced a security breach within the prior twelve (12) months which has impacted Customer Personal Information; or (y) an audit reveals a material noncompliance. If we decline or are unable to follow your instructions regarding audits permitted under this Section (or the Standard Contractual Clauses, where applicable), Customer may terminate this Addendum and the Customer Agreement for convenience.
- International Transfers. Mighty Immersion is located in the USA. Therefore, any Personal Information we collect will be collected and stored in the USA. For Authorized Users that are in the EU, EEA, Switzerland or UK, this means that their Personal Information will be stored in a jurisdiction that offers a level of protection that may, in certain instances, be less protective of their Personal Information than the jurisdiction the Authorized User is typically resident in. Notwithstanding the foregoing, please note that Mighty Immersion adheres to the Standard Contractual Clauses and other applicable requirements when handling Personal Information of a Customer. For this purpose, “Standard Contractual Clauses” means the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of Personal Information from controllers in the EU to data processors established outside the EU or EEA issued by the European Commission under decision 2010/87/EU attached hereto as Exhibit 2. It is not the intention of either party to contradict or restrict any of the provisions set forth in the Standard Contractual Clauses and, accordingly, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Customer Agreement (including this DPA) and the Standard Contractual Clauses, the provisions of the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail to the extent of such conflict.
- Subprocessors. Mighty Immersion may from time to time use certain subcontractors (i.e., subprocessors) in connection with providing the Services (“Subprocessors”). See our Subprocessor List for more information regarding the specific Subprocessors we use. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer hereby approves all applicable Subprocessors identified on our Subprocessor List to the extent applicable to the Services received by Customer. We may update our Subprocessor List from time to time and we recommend for each Customer to periodically review the Subprocessor List. By continuing to use our Services after any changes or modifications are made to the Subprocessor List, Customer is deemed to have automatically accepted the updated Subprocessor List. If a Customer (acting reasonably) does not approve of any new Subprocessor added to such list, they should (i) contact us at support@managexr.com so we can discuss the basis for the Customer’s disapproval and possible alternative Subprocessors, or (ii) object within forty-five (45) days by terminating the Customer Agreement for convenience.
Our Subprocessors may have access to Personal Information of Authorized Users to the extent that Mighty Immersion actually receives or collects any such information. Please know that Mighty Immersion carefully selects its Subprocessors based on their security practices and availability levels and we perform due diligence on the technical and organizational security measures of all Subprocessors. We have entered into agreements with each Subprocessor which impose in all material respects the same obligations on the Subprocessor with regard to their processing of Personal Information as are imposed on Mighty Immersion under this DPA and any Customer Agreements and which, as applicable, otherwise comply with the requirements of the Data Protection Laws. Mighty Immersion is responsible for the acts and omissions of Subprocessors in relation to Mighty Immersion’s obligations under this DPA and any Customer Agreements
With respect to all Subprocessors having access to Personal Information of Authorized Users that are in the EU, EEA, Switzerland or UK: Customer acknowledges that in order for Mighty Immersion to provide the Services it may be necessary for certain Subprocessors to access or otherwise process the Personal Information outside the EEA, Switzerland or United Kingdom. In those circumstances, Customer will only use Subprocessors that have and maintain certification to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield (or a successor thereto or comparable privacy shield under other Data Protection Laws) or that comply with the Standard Contractual Clauses or other applicable requirements of the Data Protection Laws.
- Data Retention and Deletion. If a Customer wishes to delete any Personal Information processed by the Service, the Customer should send a deletion request to support@managexr.com. Mighty Immersion will strive to respond to all such requests as soon as reasonably practical. If a Customer ceases to subscribe to and use the Services, or Mighty Immersion permanently discontinues or terminates a Customer’s access to the Services, Mighty Immersion will handle all of that Customer’s Personal Information as follows:
- Subject to subsections (b) and (c) below, Mighty Immersion shall, to the greatest extent reasonably possible, within ninety (90) days of the date of termination of the Customer Agreement: (1) upon the written request of Customer, return a complete copy of all Personal Information by secure file transfer in such reasonable format as notified by Customer to Mighty Immersion; and (2) delete and use reasonable efforts to procure the deletion of all other copies of Personal Information processed by Mighty Immersion or any Subprocessors.
- Subject to subsection (c) below, Customer may in its absolute discretion notify Mighty Immersion in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of termination of the Customer Agreement to require Mighty Immersion to delete and procure the deletion of all copies of the Personal Information processed by Mighty Immersion. In such case, Mighty Immersion shall, to the greatest extent reasonably possible, within ninety (90) days of the date of termination of the Customer Agreement: (1) comply with any such written request; and (2) use reasonable efforts to procure that its Subprocessors delete all Personal Information processed by such Subprocessors.
- Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer acknowledges that it may be impossible to completely delete certain residual Personal Information. Additionally, Mighty Immersion and its Subprocessors may retain Personal Information to the extent required by and only to the extent and for such period as required by applicable laws and always provided that Mighty Immersion shall ensure the confidentiality of all such Personal Information and shall ensure that such Personal Information is only processed as necessary for the purpose(s) specified in the applicable laws requiring its storage and for no other purpose. To the extent permitted by applicable Data Protection Laws, Mighty Immersion may deidentify/anonymize or aggregate the Personal Information and may continue to collect, use, retain, access, share, transfer, sell or disclose such deidentified/anonymized or aggregated information following the termination of the Customer Agreement consistent with the terms and conditions of applicable Data Protection Laws.
- Data Security Measures. Mighty Immersion shall utilize industry standard practices on information security management to safeguard sensitive information (such as Personal Information), including the measures set out in Exhibit 3. Our information security systems apply to people, processes and information technology systems on a risk management basis. Without limiting the foregoing, Mighty Immersion shall treat Personal Information as the Confidential Information of the Customer, and shall ensure that any employees or other personnel have agreed in writing to protect the confidentiality and security of such data and information. Upon request by the Customer, but no more frequently than once per calendar year (or more frequently if circumstances reasonably require) and only upon ten business days prior written notice, Mighty Immersion shall make available information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA. Customer has assessed the security measures offered by Mighty Immersion to meet the standards required by applicable Data Protection Laws as at the effective date hereof.
If Mighty Immersion becomes aware of a security incident involving a Customer’s Personal Information, Mighty Immersion will (a) notify the Customer of the security incident within 72 hours, (b) investigate the security incident and provide such reasonable assistance to the Customer (and any law enforcement or regulatory official) as required to investigate the security incident, and (c) take steps to remedy any non-compliance with this DPA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, Mighty Immersion cannot guarantee that unauthorized parties will not gain access to Personal Information processed by the Services. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mighty Immersion expressly excludes any liability arising from any unauthorized access to Personal Information.
- Affiliates. Depending on the terms of your Customer Agreement, we may in certain circumstances collect, receive or otherwise process Personal Information in connection with use of the Services by a Customer’s affiliates. In such cases, the Customer will act as a single point of contact for its affiliates with respect to compliance with applicable Data Protection Laws, such that if Mighty Immersion gives notice to the Customer, such information or notice will be deemed received by the Customer’s affiliates. Customer shall be responsible for such affiliates’ compliance with this DPA and all acts and/or omissions by a Customer affiliate with respect to Customer’s obligations in this DPA shall be considered the acts and/or omissions of Customer. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any claims in connection with this DPA (or applicable Data Protection Laws) will be brought by the Customer, whether acting for itself or on behalf of an affiliate.
- Customer Agreements. Customer agrees that it: (i) will comply with its obligations under all applicable Data Protection Laws and related laws with respect to its processing and handling of Personal Information; (ii) will make appropriate use of the Services to ensure a level of security appropriate to the particular content of the Customer Personal Information, such as pseudonymizing or backing-up Customer personal information; (iii) has obtained all consents, permissions and rights necessary applicable Data Protection Laws and related laws for Mighty Immersion to lawfully process Customer’s Personal Information for the purposes, including, without limitation, Customer’s sharing and/or receiving of Customer Personal Information with third-parties via the Services; and (iv) unless the Parties have agreed otherwise in an Order, Customer shall only provide, deliver or otherwise make available to Mighty Immersion Personal Information to the extent required for the Customer’s Authorized Users to access and receive the Services and shall not provide, deliver or otherwise make available to Mighty Immersion any other Personal Information for any other purpose.
- Limitation of Liability. Mighty Immersion’s aggregate liability to a Customer arising from or related to this DPA is subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Customer’s respective Customer Agreement.
- Indemnity. Customer agrees to indemnify Mighty Immersion and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (each an “Indemnified Party”, and collectively the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including legal fees and court fees, that are incurred by the Indemnified Parties (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of any third party claim brought against Mighty Immersion relating to or arising out (i) any instructions given by the Customer to Mighty Immersion with respect to processing of Personal Information, (ii) any failure to obtain the consents or provide the notices required under Section 3, or (iii) any other breach or violation by the Customer of any of its obligations under this DPA or any breach or violation of any Data Protection Laws.
- Enforceability of this Addendum. Any provision of this DPA that is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invaliding the remaining provisions hereof. The Parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute and shall then incorporate such substitute provision into the Customer Agreement.

(the “data importer”) (each a ‘party’; together ‘the parties’) HAVE AGREED on the following Contractual Clauses (the “Clauses”) in order to adduce adequate safeguards with respect to the protection of privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals for the transfer by the data exporter to the data importer of the personal data specified in Appendix 1.
Clause 1 – Definitions
For the purposes of the Clauses:
- ‘personal data’, ‘special categories of data’, ‘process/processing’, ‘controller’, ‘processor’, ‘data subject’ and ‘supervisory authority’ shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (1);

- ‘the sub-processor’ means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other sub-processor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other sub-processor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms of the Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract;

Clause 2 – Details of the transfer
The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.

- that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it prevents it from fulfilling the instructions received from the data exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by the Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as soon as it is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;
- that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures specified in Appendix 2 before processing the personal data transferred;

Clause 6 – Liability
- The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or sub-processor is entitled to receive compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.
- If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his sub-processor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.
The data importer may not rely on a breach by a sub-processor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.
- If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the sub-processor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the sub-processor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data sub-processor with regard to its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
Clause 7 – Mediation and jurisdiction
- The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:
- to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;
- to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
- The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.
Clause 8 – Cooperation with supervisory authorities
- The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.
- The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any sub-processor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.
- The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any sub-processor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any sub-processor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5(b).
Clause 9 – Governing law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established, namely that Member State in which the data exporter’s address, as maintained in its user profile on data importer’s Services, is located.
Clause 10 – Variation of the contract
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
Clause 11 – Sub-processing
- The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the sub-processor which imposes the same obligations on the sub-processor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses (3). Where the sub-processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations under such agreement.
- The prior written contract between the data importer and the sub-processor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
- The provisions relating to data protection aspects for sub-processing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established, namely that Member State in which the data exporter’s address, as maintained in its user profile on data importer’s Services, is located.
- The data exporter shall keep a list of sub-processing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5(j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter’s data protection supervisory authority.
Clause 12 – Obligation after the termination of personal data-processing services
- The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data-processing services, the data importer and the sub-processor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
- The data importer and the sub-processor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data-processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.
