Data Processing Addendum

Updated on July 13th, 2022

This GDPR Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) forms part of the Terms of Service, entered into by and between the Customer and Dedupely Software, Inc. (“Dedupely”), pursuant to which Customer has accessed the Service as defined in the applicable Terms. The purpose of this DPA is to reflect the parties’ agreement with regard to the processing of personal data in accordance with the requirements of Data Protection Legislation as defined below.

If the Customer entity entering into this DPA has executed an order form or statement of work with Dedupely pursuant to the Terms (an “Ordering Document”), but is not itself a party to the Terms, this DPA is an addendum to that Ordering Document and applicable renewal Ordering Documents. If the Customer entity entering into this DPA is neither a party to an Ordering Document nor the Terms, this DPA is not valid and is not legally binding. Such entity should request that the Customer entity that is a party to the Terms executes this DPA.

This DPA shall not replace or supersede any agreement or addendum relating to processing of personal data negotiated by Customer and referenced in the Terms, and any such individually negotiated agreement or addendum shall apply instead of this DPA. Also the Standard Contractual Clauses EU (2021/914) (SCCs) are not superseded by this DPA.

In the course of providing the Service to Customer pursuant to the Terms, Dedupely may process personal data on behalf of Customer. Dedupely agrees to comply with the following provisions with respect to any personal data submitted by or for Customer to the Service or collected and processed by or for Customer through the Service. Any capitalized but undefined terms herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Terms.

Data Processing Terms

In this DPA, “Data Protection Legislation” means European Directives 95/46/EC and 2002/58/EC (as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC) and any legislation and/or regulation implementing or made pursuant to them, or which amends, replaces, re-enacts or consolidates any of them (including the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679)) (GDPR in short), and all other applicable laws relating to processing of personal data and privacy that may exist in any relevant jurisdiction.

“data controller”, “data processor”, “data subject”, “personal data”, “processing”, and

“appropriate technical and organizational measures” shall be interpreted in accordance with applicable Data Protection Legislation;

The parties agree that Customer is the data controller and that Dedupely is its data processor in relation to personal data that is processed in the course of providing the Service. Customer shall comply at all times with Data Protection Legislation in respect of all personal data it provided to Dedupely pursuant to the Terms.

The subject-matter of the data processing covered by this DPA is the Service ordered by Customer either through Dedupely’s website or through an Ordering Document and provided by Dedupely to Customer via dedupeJy, or as additionally described in the Terms or the DPA. The processing will be carried out until the term of Customer’s ordering of the Service ceases. Further details of the data processing are set out in Annex 1 hereto.

In respect of personal data processed in the course of providing the Service, Dedupely:

  1. shall process the personal data only in accordance with the documented instructions from Customer (as set out in this DPA or the Terms or as otherwise notified by Customer to Dedupely (from time to time) If Dedupely is required to process the personal data for any other purpose provided by applicable law to which it is subject, Dedupely will inform Customer of such requirement prior to the processing unless that law prohibits this on important grounds of public interest;
  2. shall notify Customer without undue delay if, in Dedupely’s opinion, an instruction for the processing of personal data given by Customer infringes applicable Data Protection Legislation;
  3. shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, theft, alteration or disclosure. These measures shall be appropriate to the harm which might result from any unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, damage or theft of the personal data’ and having regard to the nature of the personal data which is to be protected;
  4. may hire other companies to provide limited services on its behalf, provided that Dedupely complies with the provisions of this Clause. Any such subcontractors will be permitted to process personal data only to deliver the services Dedupely has retained them to provide, and they shall be prohibited from using personal data for any other purpose. Dedupely remains responsible for its subcontractors’ compliance with the obligations of this DPA. Any subcontractors to whom Dedupely transfers personal data will have entered into written agreements with Dedupely requiring that the subcontractor abide by terms substantially similar to this DPA. In this context, Dedupely ensures that in the case of data transfers to third countries or countries without an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the data transfer is based on the EU standard contractual clauses (2021/914). A list of subcontractors is available to the Customer here. If Customer requires prior notification of any updates to the list of subprocessors, Customer can request such notification in writing by email help@dedupe.ly. Dedupely will update the list within thirty (30) days of any such notification if Customer does not legitimately object within that timeframe. Legitimate objections must contain reasonable and documented grounds relating to a subcontractor’s non-compliance with applicable Data Protection Legislation. If, in Dedupely’s reasonable opinion, such objections are legitimate, the Customer may, by providing written notice to Dedupely, terminate the Terms.
  5. shall ensure that all Dedupely personnel required to access the personal data are informed of the confidential nature of the personal data and comply with the obligations sets out in this Clause;
  6. at the Customer’s request (and insofar as is possible), shall assist the Customer by implementing appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational measures to assist with the Customer’s obligation to respond to requests from data subjects under Data Protection Legislation, however Dedupely will not response to the request rather than forward it to the Customer without undue delay (including requests for information relating to the processing, and requests relating to access, rectification, erasure or portability of the personal data)
  7. when the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) comes into effect, shall take reasonable steps at the Customer’s request to assist Customer in meeting Customer’s obligations under Article 32 to 36 GDPR of that regulation taking into account the nature of the processing under this DPA.
  8. at the end of the applicable term of the Service, upon Customer’s request, shall securely destroy or return such personal data to Customer;
  9. shall allow Customer and its respective auditors or authorized agents to conduct audits or inspections during the term of the Terms, which shall include providing reasonable access to the premises, resources and personnel used by Dedupely in connection with the provision of the Service, and provide all reasonable assistance in order to assist Customer in exercising its audit rights under this Clause. The purposes of an audit pursuant to this Clause include to verify that Dedupely is processing personal data in accordance with its obligations under the DPA and applicable Data Protection Legislation (GDPR and SCCs). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such audit shall consist solely of: (i) the provision by Dedupely of written information (including, without limitation, questionnaires and information about security policies) that may include information relating to subcontractors; and (ii) interviews with Dedupely’s IT personnel. Such audit may be carried out by Customer or an inspection body composed of independent members and in possession of the required professional qualifications bound by a duty of confidentiality. For the avoidance of doubt no access to any part of Dedupely’s IT system, data hosting sites or centers, or infrastructure will be permitted;
  10. If Dedupely becomes aware of any accidental, unauthorized or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure of, or access to the personal data that is processed by Dedupely in the course of providing the Service (an “Incident”) under the Terms it shall without undue delay notify Customer and provide Customer (as soon as possible) with a description of the Incident as well as periodic updates to information about the Incident, including its impact on Customer Content. Dedupely shall additionally take action to investigate the Incident and reasonably prevent or mitigate the effects of the Incident;
  11. Dedupely shall provide information requested by Customer to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set out in this DPA.
