Unless otherwise defined in this DPA, all capitalised terms in this DPA shall have the meaning given to them in the Agreement. The terms "Controller", "Personal Data", "Process" (and its grammatical inflections) and "Processor" shall each have the meaning given to that term in the GDPR.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that the details of Anam's Processing of Customer Personal Data (including the respective roles of the Parties relating to such Processing) are as described in Annex 1 (Data Processing Details) to the DPA.
Anam shall not Process Customer Personal Data other than:
Customer instructs Anam to Process Customer Personal Data to provide the Services to Customer and in accordance with the Agreement (as further described in Annex 1 (Data Processing Details). The Agreement is a complete expression of such instructions, and Customer's additional instructions will be binding on Anam only pursuant to any written amendment to this DPA signed by both Parties. Where required by Applicable Data Protection Laws, if Anam receives an instruction from Customer that, in its reasonable opinion, infringes Applicable Data Protection Laws, Anam shall notify Customer.
Without limitation to the generality of Section 2.2, by its integration and use of any Connected Application as part of the Services, Customer hereby instructs Anam to Process any Personal Data comprised in any relevant Connected Data ("Connected Application Personal Data") to the fullest extent required to enable Anam to provide the Services. In respect of any such Connected Application Personal Data and any Processing thereof, Customer acknowledges and agrees that:
Anam shall take commercially reasonable steps designed to ascertain the reliability of any Anam Staff who Process Customer Personal Data, and shall enter into written confidentiality agreements with all Anam Staff who Process Customer Personal Data that are not subject to professional or statutory obligations of confidentiality.
Anam shall implement and maintain technical and organisational measures in relation to Customer Personal Data designed to protect Customer Personal Data against Personal Data Breaches as described in Annex 2 (Security Measures) (the "Security Measures"). Anam may update the Security Measures from time to time, provided the updated measures do not materially decrease the overall protection of Customer Personal Data.
Anam, taking into account the nature of the Processing of Customer Personal Data, shall provide Customer with such assistance as may be reasonably necessary and technically feasible to assist Customer in fulfilling its obligations to respond to Data Subject Requests. If Anam receives a Data Subject Request, Customer will be responsible for responding to any such request. Anam shall:
Anam shall notify Customer without undue delay upon Anam's confirmation of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data. Anam shall provide Customer with information (insofar as such information is within Anam's possession and knowledge and does not otherwise compromise the security of any Personal Data Processed by Anam) to allow Customer to meet its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws to report the Personal Data Breach. Anam's notification of or response to a Personal Data Breach shall not be construed as Anam's acknowledgement of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach. Customer is solely responsible for complying with notification laws applicable to Customer and fulfilling any third-party notification obligations related to any Personal Data Breaches.
Customer generally authorises Anam to appoint Sub-Processors in accordance with this Section 6. Information about Anam's Sub-Processors, including their functions and locations is as shown in the Sub-Processor list displayed from time to time at our Sub-Processor Page (the "Sub-Processor List"). Without limitation, Customer authorises Anam engagement of the Sub-Processors listed on the Sub-Processor List as of the Addendum Effective Date.
Anam shall give Customer prior written notice of the appointment of any proposed Sub-Processor, including reasonable details of the Processing to be undertaken by the Sub-Processor by updating the Sub-Processor List and providing a means by which Customer may subscribe to receive notice of such updates (or otherwise providing written notice to Customer). Customer agrees that Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that it subscribes to such updates, and it shall do so. If, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of that notice, Customer notifies Anam in writing of any objections (on reasonable grounds based on good faith concerns that the use of that proposed Sub-Processor would cause Customer to be in breach of Applicable Data Protection Laws causing unavoidable or irreparable harm) to the proposed appointment:
With respect to each Sub-Processor, Anam shall maintain a written contract between Anam and the Sub-Processor that includes terms which offer at least an equivalent level of protection for Customer Personal Data as those set out in this DPA (including the Security Measures). Anam shall remain liable for any breach of this DPA caused by a Sub-Processor.
Anam shall make available to Customer on request, such information as Anam (acting reasonably) considers appropriate in the circumstances to demonstrate its compliance with this DPA.
Subject to Sections 7.3 to 7.5, in the event that Customer (acting reasonably) is able to provide documentary evidence that the information made available by Anam pursuant to Section 7.1 is not sufficient in the circumstances to demonstrate Anam's compliance with this DPA, Anam shall allow for and contribute to audits, including on-premise inspections, by Customer or an auditor mandated by Customer in relation to the Processing of Customer Personal Data by Anam.
Customer shall give Anam reasonable notice of any audit or inspection to be conducted under Section 7.2 (which shall in no event be less than fourteen (14) days' notice) and shall use its best efforts (and ensure that each of its mandated auditors uses its best efforts) to avoid causing any destruction, damage, injury or disruption to Anam's premises, equipment, Staff, data, and business (including any interference with the confidentiality or security of the data of Anam's other customers or the availability of Anam's services to such other customers).
Prior to conducting any audit, Customer must submit a detailed proposed audit plan providing for the confidential treatment of all information exchanged in connection with the audit and any reports regarding the results or findings thereof. The proposed audit plan must describe the proposed scope, duration, and start date of the audit. Anam will review the proposed audit plan and provide Customer with any feedback, concerns or questions (for example, any request for information that could compromise Anam security, privacy, employment or other relevant policies). Anam will work cooperatively with Customer to agree on a final audit plan.
Anam need not give access to its premises for the purposes of such an audit or inspection:
Nothing in this DPA shall require Anam to furnish more information about its Sub-Processors in connection with such audits than such Sub-Processors make generally available to their customers. Nothing in this Section 7 shall be construed to obligate Anam to breach any duty of confidentiality.
Following expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement, Anam shall promptly return and/or delete all Customer Personal Data in Anam's care, custody or control in accordance Customer's instructions as to the post-termination return and deletion of Customer Personal Data expressed in the Agreement. To the extent that deletion of any Customer Personal Data contained in any back-ups' maintained by or on behalf of Anam is not technically feasible within the timeframe set out in Customer's instructions, Anam shall:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Anam may retain Customer Personal Data where required by applicable laws, provided that Anam shall:
Anam shall, taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Anam, provide reasonable assistance to Customer, at Customer's cost, with any data protection impact assessments and prior consultations with Supervisory Authorities, which Customer reasonably considers to be required by Article 35 or 36 of the GDPR, in each case solely in relation to Processing of Customer Personal Data by Anam.
Customer agrees that, without limiting Anam's obligations under Section 3 (Security), Customer is solely responsible for its use of the Services, including:
Customer shall ensure:
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Anam may effect Cross-Border Transfers to third parties under or in connection with this Agreement, subject to Section 11.2 (including where Anam's use of a Sub-Processor involving a Cross-Border Transfer is approved in accordance with Section 6).
Anam agrees that it shall not make any Cross-Border Transfer in connection with Anam's Processing of Customer Personal Data as Customer's Processor otherwise than in reliance on a 'transfer mechanism' under Chapter V of the GDPR for that Cross-Border Transfer, for which purpose Customer agrees that Anam's entry into a UK Transfer Tool with the relevant 'importer' shall be sufficient in relation to any Cross-Border Transfer.
This DPA shall be incorporated into and form part of the Agreement with effect on and from the Addendum Effective Date. This DPA:
The total aggregate liability of either Party towards the other Party, howsoever arising, under or in connection with this DPA will under no circumstances exceed any limitations or caps on, and shall be subject to any exclusions of, liability and loss agreed by the Parties in the Agreement.
Anam may on notice vary this DPA to the extent that (acting reasonably) it considers necessary to address the requirements of Applicable Data Protection Laws from time to time. Each Party shall act in good faith to agree variations to this DPA that are reasonably necessary to address the requirements of Applicable Data Protection Laws from time to time.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA shall prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency relating to the Processing of Customer Personal Data.
