Schedule 1 – Data Processing Obligations

 

Data Protection Legislation: means the data privacy laws applicable to the processing services provided by the Parties to each other, including, where applicable, the Directive 95/46/EC, as amended or replaced by any subsequent regulation, directive or other legal instrument of the European Union including by the GDPR or similar law, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 or the e-Privacy Regulation 2017, or  the applicable data privacy laws of any other relevant jurisdiction, including the DPA, and all applicable formal or informal guidance, rules, requirements, directions, guidelines, recommendations, advice, codes of practice, policies, measures or publications of the Information Commissioner’s Office, other relevant regulator, and/or relevant industry body in each case in any relevant jurisdiction;

The personal data may be transferred or stored outside the EEA or the country where You and the Authorised Users are located in order to carry out the Services and Steer73’s other obligations under this agreement.

You will ensure that it has all necessary appropriate consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of the personal data to Steer73 for the duration and purposes of this agreement so that Steer73 may lawfully use, process and transfer the personal data in accordance with this agreement on Your behalf.

Steer73 shall, in relation to any personal data processed in connection with the performance by Steer73 of its obligations under this agreement: (a)  process that personal data only on Your documented written instructions unless Steer73 is required by the laws of any member of the European Union or by the laws of the European Union applicable to Steer73 and/or Domestic UK Law (where Domestic UK Law means the UK Data Protection Legislation and any other law that applies in the UK) to process personal data (Applicable Laws). Where Steer73 is relying on Applicable Laws as the basis for processing personal data, Steer73 shall promptly notify You of this before performing the processing required by the Applicable Laws unless those Applicable Laws prohibit Steer73 from so notifying You; (b)  not transfer any personal data outside of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom unless the following conditions are fulfilled: (i)  You or Steer73 has provided appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer; (ii)  the data subject has enforceable rights and effective legal remedies; (iii)  Steer73 complies with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation by providing an adequate level of protection to any personal data that is transferred; and (iv)  Steer73 complies with reasonable instructions notified to it in advance by You with respect to the processing of the personal data; (c)  assist You, at Your cost, in responding to any request from a data subject and in ensuring compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators; (d)  notify You without undue delay on becoming aware of a personal data breach;

(e)  at the written direction of You, delete or return personal data and copies thereof to You on termination of the agreement unless required by Applicable Law to store the personal data; and (f)  maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate its compliance with this Schedule 1 and immediately inform You if, in the opinion of Steer73, an instruction infringes the Data Protection Legislation.

Each party shall ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organisational measures, reviewed and approved by the other party, to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data, 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 (those measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting personal data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to personal data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organisational measures adopted by it).

You consent to Steer73 appointing third parties as a third-party processor of personal data under this agreement. Steer73 confirms that it has entered or (as the case may be) will enter with the third-party processor into a written agreement incorporating terms which are substantially similar to those set out in this Schedule 1 and in either case which Steer73 confirms reflect and will continue to reflect the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation.

Either party may, at any time on not less than 30 days’ notice, revise this Schedule 1 by replacing it with any applicable controller to processor standard clauses or similar terms forming part of an applicable certification scheme (which shall apply when replaced by attachment to this agreement).
