Ownership of User Content

As between the Parties, all User Content processed under the terms of DPA and Terms shall remain the property of Subscriber. Under no circumstances will Company act, or be deemed to act, as a "controller" of User Content under any Applicable Data Protection Law.

Obligations of Company

The Parties agree that the subject matter and duration of processing performed by Company under this DPA, including the nature and purpose of processing, the type of Personal Data, and categories of data subjects, shall be as described in Annex 1 of DPA.

When providing Services to Subscriber under Terms, Company shall comply with the obligations imposed upon it under Article 28-32 of the GDPR and agrees and declares as follows:

  • to process Personal Data in accordance with Subscriber's documented instructions as set out in Terms and DPA, also regarding transfers of Personal Data to a third country or an international organization in accordance with Article 28 (3)(a) of the GDPR, unless required to do otherwise by European Union or Member State Law to which Company is subject. In any such case, Company shall inform Subscriber of that legal requirement upon becoming aware of the same (except where prohibited by applicable laws);
  • to ensure that all staff and management of Company are fully aware of their responsibilities to protect Personal Data in accordance with DPA and have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality in accordance with Article 28 (3)(b) of the GDPR;
  • to implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access, provided that such measures shall consider the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing and the risks involved in the processing and will include those measures described in Annex 2;
  • to notify Subscriber in accordance with Article 33(2) of the GDPR, without undue delay, but in any event within forty-eight (48) hours, in the event of a confirmed Personal Data Breach affecting Subscriber's Personal Data and to take appropriate measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects;
  • to comply with the requirements of the Use of Sub-processors section when engaging a Sub-processor;
  • to assist Subscriber, considering the nature of the processing and insofar as it is commercially reasonable, to fulfil Subscriber's obligation to respond to requests from data subjects to exercise their rights under Applicable Data Protection Law (a "Data Subject Request");
  • upon request, to provide Subscriber with commercially reasonable information and assistance, considering the nature of the processing and the information available to Company, to help Subscriber to conduct any data protection impact assessment, data transfer impact assessment, or Supervisor consultation Subscriber is required to conduct under Applicable Data Protection Law;
  • upon termination of Subscriber's access to and use of Services, to comply with the requirements of the Return and destruction of Personal Data section;
  • to comply with the requirements of the Third-party certifications and audit section to make available to Subscriber information that demonstrates Company's compliance with DPA;
  • to appoint an officer who will act as a point of contact for Subscriber, coordinate, and control security compliance with DPA, including the measures detailed in Annex 2.

Company shall immediately inform Subscriber if, in its opinion, Subscriber's processing instructions infringe any law or regulation. In such event, Company is entitled to refuse processing of Personal Data that it believes to be in violation of any law or regulation.

Use of Sub-processors

Subscriber hereby confirms its general written authorization for Company's use of the Sub-processors (Annex 3 to this DPA) in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR to assist Company in providing Services and processing Personal Data, provided that such Sub-processors:

  • agree to act only on Company's instructions when processing Personal Data, which instructions shall be consistent with Subscriber's processing instructions to Company;
  • agree to protect Personal Data to a standard consistent with the requirements of this DPA, including implementing and maintaining appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data they process consistent with the Sub-processor security standards described in Annex 4 to this DPA, as applicable.

Company shall remain liable to Subscriber for the subcontracted processing services of any of its Sub-processors under this DPA. Company shall update Sub-processor Policy on its website of any Sub-processor to be appointed at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. Subscriber may sign up to receive email notifications of any such changes to Company's website.

If Subscriber objects to the processing of its Personal Data by any newly appointed Sub-processor as described in the previous paragraph, it shall inform Company within thirty (30) days following the update of Company Sub-processor Policy. In such event, Company will either:

  • instruct Sub-processor to cease the processing of Subscriber's Personal Data, in which event this DPA shall continue unaffected
  • or allow Subscriber to terminate this DPA and any related services agreement with Company immediately and provide it with a pro rata reimbursement of any sums paid in advance for Services to be provided, but not yet received by Subscriber as of the effective date of termination.

Services provide links to integrations with non-Company services (e.g., Microsoft identity platform) including, without limitation, certain non-Company services which may be integrated directly into Subscriber's account or instance in Services. If Subscriber elects to enable, access, or use such non-Company services, its access and use of such non-Company services is governed solely by the terms and conditions and privacy policies of such non-Company services, and Company does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for, and makes no representations as to any aspect of such non-Company services, including, without limitation, their content, the manner in which they handle User Content (including Personal Data), or any interaction between Subscriber and the provider of such non-Company services. The providers of non-Company services shall not be deemed Sub-processors for any purpose under this DPA.

Third-party certifications and audit

Upon Subscriber's request, and subject to the confidentiality obligations, Company shall make available to Subscriber (or Subscriber's independent, third-party auditor) information regarding Company's compliance with the obligations set forth in this DPA in the form of the third-party certifications and/or audits set forth in Annex 2.

Subscriber may contact Company to request an audit of Company's procedures relevant to the protection of Personal Data, but only to the extent required under Applicable Data Protection Laws, and Subscriber shall not disrupt Company's business operations during the performance of such audit.

This section applies only to the extent Company is unable to demonstrate compliance with the EU SCCs (as defined hereinafter) through appropriate documentation and information on the processing activities carried out on behalf of Subscriber, considering Company's certifications and audits. By providing a notice to privacy@ablebits.com, Subscriber may ask to exercise the right to perform an audit during normal business hours at Company's premises or physical facilities for the purposes of demonstrating compliance with the EU SCCs (as defined hereinafter) and processing activities and shall be limited to data relevant to Subscriber. Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such request.

The Parties will mutually agree in advance and in good faith upon the terms of such audit, provided that:

  • if the request could, in Company's reasonable opinion, create a risk for another Company Subscriber's environment, Company and Subscriber will agree on an alternative way to address the request to provide Subscriber with a similar level of assurance. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber acknowledges that the granting of potential access as stated in this DPA shall in no way be deemed to constitute access or potential access to User Content of other Subscribers;
  • unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Subscriber shall reimburse Company for any time expended for any such on-site access at Company's then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Subscriber upon request.

International data exports

Subscriber acknowledges that Company and its Sub-processors may process Personal Data in countries that are outside of the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland ("European Countries"). This will apply even where Subscriber has agreed with Company to host Personal Data in European Countries in accordance with Regional data hosting rules (Annex 5) if such non-European Countries processing is necessary to provide support-related or other services requested by Subscriber. If Personal Data is transferred to a country or territory outside of European Countries, then such transfer will only take place if:

  • the country ensures an adequate level of data protection;
  • one of the conditions listed in Article 46 of the GDPR (or its equivalent under any successor legislation) is satisfied;
  • Personal Data is transferred in accordance with Company rules, which establishes appropriate security measures for such Personal Data and is legally binding on Company.

Standard Contractual Clauses. Where Company processes Personal Data in non-EEA countries, Company shall comply with the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (annexed to EU Commission Decision 2021/914/EU of 4 June 2021 (http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj) (the "EU SCCs")) which shall be entered into and incorporated into this DPA by this reference and completed as follows: Module 2 (Controller to Processor) will apply where Subscriber is a controller of User Content and Company is a processor of User Content; Module 3 (Processor to Processor) will apply where Subscriber is a processor of User Content and Company is a processor of User Content. For each Module, where applicable:

  • in Clause 7, the optional docking clause will apply;
  • in Clause 9, Option 2 will apply, and the time for prior notice of Sub-processor changes shall be as set out in the Use of Sub-processors section of this DPA;
  • in Clause 11, the optional language will not apply;

To the extent any export from or processing of Personal Data outside the United Kingdom is subject to Applicable Data Protection Law in the United Kingdom (including UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/12/introduction) ("UK Data Protection Laws"), for so long as it is lawfully permitted to rely on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of Personal Data to processors set out in the European Commission's Decision 2010/87/EU (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec/2010/87/oj) ("Prior SCCs"), the Prior SCCs shall apply between Subscriber and Company on the following basis:

  • Appendix I and Appendix II shall be deemed completed with the relevant information set out in Annex 1 and Annex 2 to this DPA;
  • references in the Prior SCCs to "the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established" shall be deemed to mean "the laws of the Republic of Poland";
  • the optional illustrative indemnification clause will not apply;
  • any other obligation in the Prior SCCs determined by the Member State in which the data exporter is established shall be deemed to refer to an obligation under UK Data Protection Laws. Where the Prior SCCs do not apply and the Parties are lawfully permitted to rely on the EU SCCs for transfers of Personal Data from the UK subject to completion of a UK Addendum to the EU SCCs issued by the Information Commissioner's Office under s.119A(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/12/section/119A) ("UK Addendum"), then the EU SCCs completed as set out above in the current paragraph of this DPA shall also apply to transfers of such Personal Data, subject to the provision that the UK Addendum shall be deemed executed between Company and Subscriber, and the EU SCCs shall be deemed amended as specified by the UK Addendum in respect of the transfer of such Personal Data. If neither the Prior SCCs nor UK Addendum with EU SCCs applies, then the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to implement appropriate safeguards for transfers of such Personal Data as required or permitted by the UK Data Protection Laws without undue delay.

Our Sub-processors will take reasonable measures to ensure that User Content is secured to protect against accidental destruction or loss. Our Sub-processors shall ensure that, when hosted by Sub-processor, backups are completed on a regular basis, are secured and encrypted, to ensure that User Content is protected.

Data access controls

Our Sub-processors will take reasonable measures to ensure that User Content is accessible and manageable only by properly authorized staff, direct database query access is restricted and application access rights are established and enforced to ensure that persons entitled to access User Content only have access to User Content to which they have privilege of access and that User Content cannot be read, copied, modified, or removed without authorization in the course of processing. Sub-processors will implement and maintain an access policy under which access to their system environment, data processing systems, User Content, and other data is restricted to authorized personnel only.

Physical access controls

Our Sub-processors will take reasonable measures, such as security personnel and secured buildings, to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining physical access to User Content.

Transmission controls

Our Sub-processors will take reasonable measures to ensure that it is possible to check and establish to which entities the transfer of User Content by means of data transmission facilities is envisaged so User Content cannot be read, copied, modified, or removed without authorization during electronic transmission.

Logical separation

Our Sub-processors will logically segregate User Content from the data of other parties on their systems to ensure that User Content may be processed separately.

Annex 5: Regional Data Hosting Rules

In order to meet the needs of Services' Subscribers around the globe, Company has developed regional data hosting rules.

Services allow Subscribers to host their User Content in selected regions: the United States (US) or the European Countries (EU).

The following regions are currently available:

Region in Services AWS region code Location
US Region 1 us-east-1 US East (Northern Virginia)
EU Region 1 eu-central-1 Europe (Frankfurt, Germany)

The list of available regions will expand depending on Subscribers' requests.

Subscriber acknowledges that Company and its Sub-Processors may process User Content in countries outside the selected region if such processing is necessary to provide support-related or other services requested by Subscriber pursuant to the DPA.

Subscription billing data may be transferred by payment service provider outside of the selected region.

If Subscriber has an existing account prior to the date Subscriber purchases applicable subscription plans and selects the region, Company may be required to transfer existing User Content to the selected location. To complete this step, Company will make a copy of Subscriber's User Content to ensure that all relevant User Content has been successfully transferred to the selected location in its entirety. Upon completion and confirmation of the migration process, the copy of Subscriber's User Content will be removed from the original location.

Any data transmitted through links to external resources available within Services (for example, Ablebits.com, Microsoft.com, etc.) may leave the selected region after Subscriber clicks on these links.
