DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT
INTRODUCTION
By using the Sproom Trading Platform and any module or feature associated with the software (as a whole, referred to as the “Software”), the Data Controller will be responsible for its Processing of Personal Data in the Software. The Data Processor will exclusively process personal data on behalf of the Data Controller. In order to ensure that the Parties comply with their obligations under national data protection legislation, as well as Regulation (EU) 2016/279 of the European Parliament and of the Council (“GDPR”), the Parties have concluded this Data Processing Agreement (“the Agreement”), which constitutes the instructions from the Data Controller to the Data Processor, thus regulating the Data Processor’s Processing of Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller.
Both Parties confirm that they have the authority to sign the Agreement.
The Data Processor also exclusively processes Personal Data in accordance with Sproom’s Privacy Statement, which can be found via this link: https://sproom.net/privacy/privacy-policy/.
It applies to the entire Agreement and in the relationship between the Data Controller and the Data Processor, that requirements arising from the GDPR described in this agreement and which are not in accordance with current legislation shall not apply until 25 May 2018, when the GDPR shall take effect.
DEFINITIONS
The definitions for Personal Data, Special Categories of Data (Sensitive Data), Processing, Data Subject, Data Controller and Data Processer are the same as the relevant Personal Data Act, including the GDPR.
The Agreement governs the Data Processor’s Processing of Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller and describes how the Data Processor will help protect privacy on behalf of the Data Controller and its Data Subjects through the technical and organisational measures required under the applicable data protection legislation, including the GDPR of 25 May 2018.
The purpose of the Data Processor’s Processing of Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller is to ensure the Data Controller’s use of the Software and the fulfilment of this Agreement.
The Agreement takes precedence over other conflicting provisions regarding the Processing of Personal Data as regards the terms of use of the Software or in other agreements applicable between the Parties. The Agreement is valid as long as the Data Controller subscribes to the Software and the Data Processor must therefore process Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller. However, the Agreement does not take precedence if the Parties have concluded another data processing agreement, stating that the data processing agreement takes precedence over this Agreement.
DATA PROCESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS
The Data Processor must exclusively process Personal Data on behalf of and as a result of the Data Controller’s instructions. By entering into this Agreement, the Data Controller instructs the Data Processor to process Personal Data in the following ways: i) in accordance with applicable law, ii) to fulfil its obligations under the terms and conditions of the Software; iii) as further specified by the Data Controller’s normal use of the Software, and iv) as described in this Agreement.
As part of being able to provide the Software, the Data Processor is obligated, at all times, to provide the Data Controller with good and competitive solutions that are accompanied by development. The Data Processor can offer better solutions that are tailored to the needs of the Data Controller by recording how the Data Controller and its representatives use the Software. This allows the Data Processor to make a better version of the Software and generally provide better services and provide more relevant communication to the Data Controller and its representatives. The goal is for the Data Controller to solve as many challenges as possible in one place. Insofar as personal data from the Software is included in this work, it is processed in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law and may be shared with companies in the Visma Group for the purpose of this work.
The Data Processor has no reason to believe that applicable law prevents the Data Processor from following the instructions set out above. The Data Processor shall, if aware of it, provide the Data Controller notice of instructions or other Processing Activities performed by the Data Controller, which, in the view of the Data Processor, violates applicable data protection legislation.
The Categories of Data Subjects and Personal Data processed under this Agreement are described in Annex A.
The Data Processor must assist the Data Controller, as far as possible, with appropriate technical and organisational measures and taking into account the nature of the Processing and the category of data available to the Data Processor to ensure compliance with the Data Controller’s obligations under applicable data protection legislation including as regards assistance in response to requests from Data Subjects and general compliance with the provisions of Articles 32-36 of the GDPR.
The Data Processor shall notify the Data Controller without undue delay via a contact person specified in the Data Processing Agreement if the Data Processor becomes aware of security vulnerability.
In addition, the Data Processor shall, as far as possible and lawfully, inform the Data Controller if:
The Data Processor must not respond to such requests from Data Subjects, unless authorised by the Data Controller to do so. Furthermore, the Data Processor will not disclose information about this Agreement to government agencies such as the police, including Personal Data unless the Data Processor is required to by law, such as by a court order or the like.
If the Data Controller requires information or assistance pertaining to security measures, documentation or information about how the Data Processor generally processes Personal Data and such request contains data that goes beyond what is required by applicable data protection legislation, the Data Processor may require payment for such additional services.
The Data Processor and its employees shall ensure confidentiality in relation to the Personal Data processed under the Agreement. This provision shall also apply after termination of the Agreement.
DATA CONTROLLER'S OBLIGATIONS
The Data Controller confirms upon the conclusion of this agreement that:
USING SUBPROCESSORS AND DATA TRANSMISSION
As part of the operation of the Software, the Data Processor uses subcontractors (“Subprocessors”). Such Subprocessors may be other companies within the Visma group to which Sproom belongs or third-party suppliers within and outside the EU/EEA. The Data Processor’s subcontractors are listed in the currently updated list of subprocessors, which can be seen here: https://sproom.net/terms/subcontractors. The Data Processor must ensure that its Subprocessors comply with the corresponding obligations and requirements described in the Agreement. All use of Subprocessors is also subject to the Visma Group’s Privacy Statement.
This Agreement constitutes the Data Controller’s prior general and specific written approval of the Data Processor’s use of Subprocessors.
If a Subprocessor is established outside or Personal Data is stored outside of the EU/EEA, the Data Controller authorises the Data Processor to ensure a sufficient basis for transmitting Personal Data to a third country on behalf of the Data Controller, including using the EU Commission’s Standard Contracts or in accordance with the Privacy Shield.
The Data Controller must be informed before the Data Processor replaces its Subprocessors. However, the Data Controller is only entitled to protest against a new Subprocessor, who processes Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller, if they do not process data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. In such a situation, the Data Processor shall demonstrate compliance by giving the Data Controller access to the Data Processor’s data protection evaluation pertaining to the Subprocessor. If there is still disagreement with the use of the Subprocessor, the Data Controller may terminate its subscription to the Software, including with a shorter notice than usual, in order to ensure that the Data Controller’s Personal Data is not processed by the Subprocessor in question.
SECURITY
The Data Processor is required to ensure a high level of security in its products and services, as ensured by appropriate organisational, technical and physical security measures required by the security measures as described in Article 32 of the GDPR.
In addition, the Visma Group’s internal data protection policies aim at ensuring confidentiality, integrity, resistance and access to Personal Data. The following measures are particularly important:
ACCESS TO REVIEW
The Data Controller is entitled to initiate a review of the Data Processor’s obligations under the Agreement once a year. If the Data Controller is required to do so under applicable legislation; reviews can be repeated once a year. The Data Controller must send a detailed review plan with a description of the scope, duration and start date at least four weeks prior to the proposed start date for requesting a review. It must be decided jointly between the Parties if a third party is to conduct the review. However, the Data Controller may allow the Data Processor to decide whether the review of the security reasons should be done by a neutral third party of the Data Processor’s choosing, insofar as there is a processing environment where multiple data controller data is used.
If the proposed scope of the review follows an ISAE, ISO or similar certification report conducted by a qualified third party reviewer within the previous twelve months and the Data Processor confirms that there have been no material changes in the measures under review, the Data Controller must accept this review instead of requesting a new review of the measures which have already been covered.
In any case, reviews must take place during normal office hours at the relevant facility in accordance with the Data Processor’s policies and may not unreasonably interfere with the Data Processor’s usual business activities
The Data Controller is responsible for all costs associated with the request for review. The Data Processor’s assistance in connection therewith, which exceeds the general service that the Data Processor and/or Visma Group must make available as a result of applicable data protection legislation, shall be settled separately.
TERM AND TERMINATION
The Agreement is valid as long as the Data Processor processes Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller in connection with the Data Controller’s use of the Software.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Data Controller’s notice period in relation to the Software Subscription. Upon termination of the Subscription, the Data Processor will erase or return all Personal Data in the appropriate format that the Data Processor has processed on behalf of the Data Controller under the Agreement. If the Data Controller requests assistance with returning the data, the associated costs shall be determined jointly by the Parties and shall be based on: (i) hourly rates for the Data Processor’s time spent; (ii) the complexity of the requested process; and (iii) the format chosen.
The Data Processor is entitled to retain Personal Data after termination of the Agreement insofar as it is required by applicable legislation, which, in such case, will be in accordance with the technical and organisational measures described in the Agreement.
CHANGES
Changes to the Agreement must be enclosed in a separate Annex to the Agreement.
If any of the provisions of the Agreement are invalid, this will not affect the remaining provisions. The Parties shall replace invalid provisions with a legal provision that reflects the purpose of the invalid provision.
LIABILITY
Liability for actions contrary to the provisions of this Agreement is governed by the liability and compensation provisions in Sproom’s terms and conditions. This also applies to any violation by the Data Processor’s Subprocessors.
GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
The agreement is governed by Danish law and any dispute must be brought before a Danish court.
