When using FrontCore Services, for the purposes of applicable Data Protection Laws, Organizer is a Data Controller when Processing Personal Data. Organizer agrees to Process such Personal Data in accordance with Organizer’s obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws.

3.2     FrontCore as Data Processor

Where FrontCore Processes Personal Data on behalf of Organizer as part of the Services, FrontCore is a Data Processor in performing such Processing and Organizer is the Data Controller. This includes, circumstances where FrontCore collects Personal Data as a result of the provision of the course and training management solution to the Organizer (for example, where FrontCore facilitates the transmission of emails to Attendees, instructors, internal users, and/or bookers) prints diplomas, downloads list of participants, features lists of registered participants, changes Attendees’ orders, processes payments, or provides dashboard business reports).

3.3     FrontCore as Data Controller

In conjunction with some Processing of Personal Data, FrontCore may act as a Data Controller, for instance, when Attendees (Data subjects) have engaged with parts of FrontCore’s solutions beyond those relating to Organizers events, including, but not limited to My page, or when FrontCore is processing Personal Data to conduct research/analysis with the objective to improve FrontCore products and features, as well as provide targeted recommendations.

4      Data processing clauses

To the degree that FrontCore Processes Personal Data as a Data Processor on behalf of Organizer, this DPA shall apply, and FrontCore will accordingly then be the Data Processor. When FrontCore is operating as a Data Controller of Personal Data, as specified in section 3.3, FrontCore’s Processing of Personal Data shall not be subject to this DPA.

4.1

FrontCore may only process the Personal Data in compliance with documented instructions from the Data Controller, including transfer of Personal Data to any third country or international organisation. If, in exceptional cases, FrontCore is instructed to process Personal Data, including transferring Personal Data to a third country or an international organisation, and this does not follow from the instructions of the Data Controller but is pursuant to EU or member state law to which FrontCore is subject, then FrontCore must notify the Data Controller of such legal requirements before commencing the processing unless such notification is prohibited on important grounds of public interest.

4.2

FrontCore may not process the Personal Data for its own purposes, unless explicitly agreed to in this DPA, as specified in section 3.3, and to the extent that FrontCore is required to do so by European Union and/or member state law. In such an event, FrontCore shall, to the extent permitted by law, give Data Controller prior notification of any such legal requirement and, to the extent possible, allow Data Controller to object thereto.

4.3

The Personal Data to be processed by Data Processor, the categories of data subjects and the processing activities are set out in Annex 1 to this DPA.

4.4

FrontCore shall take the necessary technical and organisational measures to ensure that any person including own employees and external consultants performing work for Data Processor, who have access to the Personal Data, does not process such Personal Data except on instructions from Data Controller.

4.5

FrontCore shall, upon request from Data Controller, provide Data Controller with sufficient information in order for Data Controller to ensure compliance with the requirements and obligations in applicable Data Protection Legislation. FrontCore shall also allow for, and contribute to, audits, including inspections, conducted by Data Controller or an auditor mandated by Data Controller.

4.6

FrontCore is bound by confidentiality and may not, without authorisation, copy, disclose or use the Personal Data. FrontCore must ensure that e.g. employees or external consultants authorised to process Personal Data have assumed a contractual confidentiality obligation or are subject to a statutory obligation of secrecy.

4.7

FrontCore must ensure that access to the Personal Data is limited to employees and external consultants with a work-related need.

5      Security measures

5.1

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 and freedoms of natural persons, FrontCore shall in relation to the Personal Data implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to that risk, including, as appropriate, the measures referred to in Article 32(1) of the GDPR.

5.2

FrontCore shall also comply with any security requirements incumbent on FrontCore under applicable Data Protection Legislation, including applicable security requirements in the country in which FrontCore is established.

5.3

In assessing the appropriate level of security, FrontCore shall take account in particular of the risks that are presented by Processing, in particular from a Personal Data Breach.

6      Data Protection Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation

6.1

FrontCore shall provide reasonable assistance to Data Controller with any data protection impact assessments, and prior consultations with Supervising Authorities or other competent data privacy authorities, which Data Controller reasonably considers to be required of Data Controller by article 35 or 36 of the GDPR or equivalent provisions of any other Data Protection Law, in each case solely in relation to Processing of Personal Data by, and taking into account the nature of the Processing and information available to, the Contracted Processors.

7      Personal Data Breach

7.1

FrontCore shall notify Data Controller without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach. Further, FrontCore shall assist Data Controller in ensuring compliance with Data Controller’s obligations to (i) document any personal data breach, (ii) notify the applicable supervisory authority/authorities of any personal data breach, and (iii) inform any applicable data subject(s) of such personal data breach, if this is required under Articles 33 and 34 of General Data Protection Regulation.

7.2

FrontCore shall co-operate with Data Controller and take such reasonable commercial steps as are directed by Data Controller to assist in the investigation, mitigation and remediation of each such Personal Data Breach.

8      Data subject rights

8.1

Taking into account the nature of the Processing, FrontCore shall assist Data Controller by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the Data Controller’s obligations, as reasonably understood by Data Controller, to respond to requests to exercise Data Subject rights under the Data Protection Laws.

8.2

FrontCore shall: promptly notify Data Controller if any Contracted Processor receives a request from a Data Subject under any Data Protection Law in respect of Personal Data.

9.3

FrontCore shall give Data Controller prior written notice of the appointment of any new or replacement Sub-processor, including full details of the Processing to be undertaken by the Sub-processor. If, within ten (10) days of receipt of that notice, Data Controller notifies FrontCore in writing of any objections (on reasonable grounds) to the proposed appointment:

9.3.1

Provided that Data Controller’s objection: (i) concerns the Sub-Processor’s ability to allow FrontCore to materially comply with its data protection obligations under this DPA; and (ii) includes sufficient detail to support its objection and provide specific examples, FrontCore will then use commercially reasonable efforts to review and respond to Data Controller’s objection within thirty (30) days of receipt of Data Controller’s objection with FrontCore’s determined method of accommodation.

9.3.2

If FrontCore determines in its sole discretion that it cannot reasonably accommodate Data Controller’s objection, upon notice from FrontCore, Data Controller may choose to terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to FrontCore, and complying with the terms herein, which shall be Data Controller’s sole and exclusive remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Data Controller’s termination right under this Section 9.3.2 will be deemed an additional termination right of Data Controller under the «Term» section of the Terms of Service in the Agreement and if exercised will be deemed a termination pursuant to such Section.

9.4

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.

Background

The data exporter has entered into a data processing addendum (“DPA”) with the data importer. Pursuant to the terms of the DPA, it is contemplated that services provided by the data importer will involve the transfer of personal data to data importer. Data importer is located in a country not ensuring an adequate level of data protection. To ensure compliance with Directive 95/46/EC and applicable data protection law, the controller agrees to the provision of such Services, including the processing of personal data incidental thereto, subject to the data importer’s execution of, and compliance with, the terms of these Clauses.

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; [If these Clauses are governed by a law which extends the protection of data protection laws to corporate persons, the words “except that, if these Clauses govern a transfer of data relating to identified or identifiable corporate (as well as natural) persons, the definition of «personal data» is expanded to include those data” are added.]
  • ‘the data exporter’ means the controller who transfers the personal data;
  • ‘the data importer’ means the processor who agrees to receive from the data exporter personal data intended for processing on his behalf after the transfer in accordance with his instructions and the terms of the Clauses and who is not subject to a third country’s system ensuring adequate protection within the meaning of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC; [If these Clauses are not governed by the law of a Member State, the words «and who is not subject to a third country’s system ensuring adequate protection within the meaning of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC» are deleted.]
  • ‘the subprocessor’ means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other subprocessor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other subprocessor 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;
  • ‘the applicable data protection law’ means the legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and, in particular, their right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data applicable to a data controller in the Member State in which the data exporter is established;
  • ‘technical and organisational security measures’ means those measures aimed at protecting personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing.

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.

  2. The data subject can enforce against the data importer this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where the data exporter has factually disappeared or has ceased to exist in law unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity.
  3. The data subject can enforce against the subprocessor this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity.

Clause 9

Governing Law

The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

Clause 11

Subprocessing

  1. 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 subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the subprocessor 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 subprocessor’s obligations under such agreement.
  2. The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor 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 subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
  3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing 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.

The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor 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.
  2. The data importer and the subprocessor 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.
