6. Security

  • 6.1 Security Measures. Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights of data subjects, without prejudice to any other security standards agreed upon by the parties, SA shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect Host Data from Security Incidents and to preserve the security and confidentiality of the Host Data, in accordance with SA's’ security standards described in this DPA and at Section XI of SA's’ Privacy Policy ("Security of Your Personal Data").
  • 6.2 Updates to Security Measures. Host is responsible for reviewing the information made available by SA relating to data security and making an independent determination as to whether the Services meet Host’s requirements and legal obligations under Data Protection Laws. Host acknowledges that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that SA 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 Services.
  • 6.3 Host Responsibilities. Notwithstanding the above, Host agrees that except as provided by this DPA, Host is responsible for its secure use of the Services, including securing its account authentication credentials, protecting the security of User Data when in transit to and from the Services and taking any appropriate steps to securely encrypt or backup any User Data uploaded to the Services.

  • 6.5 Security Incident Response. Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, SA shall notify Host without undue delay and shall provide timely information relating to the Security Incident as it becomes known or as is reasonably requested by Host.

7. Security

  • 7.1 Upon reasonable request, SA will verify its compliance with this DPA, provided that Host shall not exercise this right more than once per year.

8. International Transfers

  • 8.1 Data center locations. SA may transfer and process Host Data anywhere in the world where SA, its Affiliates or its Subprocessors maintain data processing operations. SA shall at all times provide an adequate level of protection for the Host Data collected, transferred, processed, or retained in accordance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws.
  • 8.2 Privacy Shield. SA will not process Host Data related to personal data of data subjects located in the EEA in a location outside of the EEA, except pursuant to the EU-US Privacy Shield, provided that SA obtains and maintains its certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield. SA will provide Host with reasonable prior written notice if it can no longer meet its obligations under the Privacy Shield or if it plans not to renew its certification, at which time, as the parties’ sole remedy, the parties will negotiate entry into an alternative data transfer solution, including entering into the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses for Data Processors (2010/87/EU) or any replacement thereof. The foregoing will not entitle Host to any termination of cancellation right with respect to the Agreement.
  • 8.3 Changes in the Law. To the extent that Host or SA is relying on a specific statutory mechanism to normalize international data transfers (namely, Privacy Shield) that is subsequently modified, revoked, or held in a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, SA and Host agree to cooperate in good faith to promptly terminate the transfer or to pursue a suitable alternative mechanism that can lawfully support the transfer.

9. Return or Deletion of Data

  • 9.1 Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, SA shall (at Host's election) delete or return to Host all Host Data (including copies) in its possession or control, save that this requirement shall not apply to the extent SA is required by applicable law to retain copies of some or all of the Host Data, or to Host Data it has archived on back-up systems, which Host Data SA shall securely isolate and protect from any further processing, except to the extent required by applicable law.

10. Cooperation

  • 10.1 The Services provide Hosts and Members with controls that Hosts and Members may use to retrieve, correct, delete or restrict Host Data, which Host may use to assist it in connection with its obligations under the GDPR, including its obligations relating to responding to requests from data subjects or applicable data protection authorities. To the extent that Host is unable to independently access the relevant Host Data within the Services, SA shall (at Host's expense) provide reasonable cooperation to assist Host to respond to any requests from individuals or applicable data protection authorities relating to the processing of personal data under the Agreement. In the event that any such request is made directly to SA, SA shall not respond to such communication directly without Host's prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so. If SA is required to respond to such a request, SA shall promptly notify Host and provide it with a copy of the request unless legally prohibited from doing so.
  • 10.2 If a law enforcement agency sends SA a demand for Host Data (for example, through a subpoena or court order), SA shall attempt to redirect the law enforcement agency to request that data directly from Host. As part of this effort, SA may provide Host’s basic contact information to the law enforcement agency. If compelled to disclose Host Data to a law enforcement agency, then SA shall give Host reasonable notice of the demand to allow Host to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless SA is legally prohibited from doing so.
  • 10.3 To the extent SA is required under EU Data Protection Law, SA shall (at Host's expense) provide reasonably requested information regarding the Services to enable the Host to carry out data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with data protection authorities as required by law.

11. Changes in Data Protection Laws

  • 11.1 SA may modify or supplement this Addendum, with reasonable notice to the Host: (i) If required to do so by a supervisory authority or other government or regulatory entity; (ii) If necessary to comply with applicable law; (iii) To implement new or updated Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission; or (iv) To adhere to an approved code of conduct or certification mechanism approved or certified pursuant to Articles 40, 42 and 43 GDPR.
