Data protection

In this Clause and in the Agreements or Contracts, “personal data”, “data subject”, “data controller”, “data processor”, and “personal data breach” shall have the meaning defined in

The Data Protection Act 2018.

All Parties shall comply with all applicable data protection requirements set out in the Data Protection Act 2018. This Clause and the Agreements or Contracts shall not relieve either Party of any obligations set out in the Data Protection Act and does not remove or replace any of those obligations.

For the purposes of the Data Protection and for this Clause and any Agreement or Contract, you are the “Data Controller” and we are the Data Processor.

The type(s) of personal data, the scope, nature and purpose of the processing, and the duration of the processing shall be limited to that required to discharge the Agreement or Contract.

The Data Controller shall ensure that it has in place all necessary consents and notices required to enable the lawful transfer of personal data to the Data Processor for the purposes described in these Terms and Conditions and Agreements or Contracts.

The Data Processor shall, with respect to any personal data processed by it in relation to its performance of any of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreements or Contracts:

Process the personal data only on the instructions of the Data Controller unless the Data Processor is otherwise required to process such personal data by law. The Data Processor shall promptly notify the Data Controller of such processing unless prohibited from doing so by law.

Ensure that it has in place suitable technical and organisational measures (as approved by the Data Controller) to protect the personal data from unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, damage or destruction. Such measures shall be proportionate to the potential harm resulting from such events, taking into account the current state of the art in technology and the cost of implementing those measures. Measures to be taken shall be agreed upon between the Data Controller and the Data Processor.

Ensure that any and all staff with access to the personal data (whether for processing purposes or otherwise) are contractually obliged to keep that personal data confidential; and

Not transfer any personal data outside of the European Economic Area without the prior written consent of the Data Controller and only if the following conditions are satisfied:

The Data Controller and/or the Data Processor has/have provided suitable safeguards for the transfer of personal data;

Affected data subjects have enforceable rights and effective legal remedies;

The Data Processor complies with its obligations under the Data Protection Act, providing an adequate level of protection to any and all personal data so transferred; and

The Data Processor complies with all reasonable instructions given in advance by the Data Controller with respect to the processing of personal data.

Assist the Data Controller at the Data Controller’s cost, in responding to any and all requests from data subjects in ensuring its compliance with the Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments, and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators (including, but not limited to, the Information Commissioner’s Office);

Notify the Data Controller without undue delay of a personal data breach;

On the Data Controller’s written instruction, delete (or otherwise dispose of) or return all personal data and any and all copies thereof to the Data Controller on termination of any Agreement or Contract unless it is required to retain any of the personal data by law; and

Maintain complete and accurate records of all processing activities and technical and organisational measures implemented necessary to demonstrate compliance with the terms and conditions.

The Data Processor shall not sub-contract any of its obligations to a sub-processor with respect to the processing of personal data under these terms and conditions and agreements or contracts without the prior written consent of the Data Controller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). In the event that the Data Processor appoints a sub-processor, the Data Processor shall:

Enter into a written agreement with the sub-processor, which shall impose upon the sub-processor the same obligations as are imposed upon the Data Processor by these Terms and Conditions and Agreements and Contracts and which shall permit both the Data Processor and the Data Controller to enforce those obligations; and

Ensure that the sub-processor complies fully with its obligations under that agreement and the Data Protection Act.

Either Party may, at any time, and on at least one month’s notice, alter the data protection provisions of the Agreement or Contract, replacing them with any applicable data processing clauses or similar terms that form part of an applicable certification scheme.
