g. promptly provide the Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance in respect of a Personal Data Breach and all reasonable information in Nexusguard’s possession concerning
such Personal Data Breach insofar as it affects the Customer, including the following to the extent then known:

i. the possible cause and consequences for the Data Subjects of the Personal Data Breach;
ii. the categories of Personal Data involved;
iii. a summary of the possible consequences for the relevant data subjects;
iv. a summary of the unauthorised recipients of the Personal Data; and
v. the measures taken by Nexusguard to mitigate any damage;

h. shall not make any public announcement about a Personal Data Breach (a “​Breach Notice”)​ without the prior written consent of the Customer, unless required by applicable law;

i. to the extent Nexusguard is able to verify that a data subject is associated with the Customer, Nexusguard shall promptly notify the Customer if it receives a request from a data subject to access, rectify or erase that individual’s Personal Data, or if a data subject objects to the processing of, or makes a data portability request in respect of, such Personal Data (each a “Data​ Subject Request”).​ Nexusguard shall not respond to a Data Subject Request without the Customer’s prior written consent except to confirm that such request relates to the Customer, to which the Customer hereby agrees.

j. to the extent Nexusguard is able, and in line with applicable law, shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer in responding to a data subject request to access, rectify, correct, or erase that individual’s Personal Data in such case where the Customer does not have the ability to address a Data Subject Request without Nexusguard’s assistance.

Nexusguard bears no responsibility for information provided in good faith to Customer in reliance on this subsection. Customer shall cover all costs incurred by Nexusguard in connection with its provision of such assistance;

iii. the Customer’s compliance with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to the security of processing;
iv. provided that the Customer shall cover all costs incurred by Nexusguard in connection with its provision of such assistance.

 
4. Sub-processing

4.1 Nexusguard will only disclose Personal Data to sub-processors for the specific purposes of carrying out the Service on Nexusguard’s behalf. Nexusguard does not sell or disclose Personal Data to third parties for commercial purposes.

4.2 The Customer grants a general authorization: (a) to Nexusguard to appoint other members of the Nexusguard Group as sub-processors, and (b) to Nexusguard and other members of the Nexusguard Group to appoint third party data center operators, and outsourced marketing, business, engineering and customer support providers as sub-processors to support the performance of the Service.

4.3 Nexusguard will maintain a list of sub-processors of which the Customer can obtain on request from Nexusguard. If the Customer has a reasonable objection to any sub-processor, it shall notify Nexusguard of such objections in writing and the parties will seek to resolve the matter in good faith. If Nexusguard is reasonably able to provide the Service to the Customer in accordance with the Main Agreement without using the sub-processor and decides in its discretion to do so, then the Customer will have no further rights under this clause 4.3 in respect of the proposed use of the sub-processor. If Nexusguard requires use of the sub-processor in its discretion and is unable to satisfy the Customer as to the suitability of the sub-processor or the documentation and protections in place between Nexusguard and the sub-processor within ninety (90) days from the Customer's notification of objections, the Customer may within thirty (30) days following the end of the ninety (90) day period referred to above, terminate the applicable Order Form and/or Insertion Orders with at least thirty (30) days written notice, solely with respect to the service(s) to which the proposed new sub-processor's processing of Personal Data relates. If the Customer does not provide a timely objection to any new or replacement sub-processor in accordance with this clause 4.3, the Customer will be deemed to have consented to the sub-processor and waived its right to object. Nexusguard may use a new or replacement sub-processor whilst the objection procedure in this clause 4.3 is in process.

4.4 Nexusguard will ensure that any sub-processor it engages to provide an aspect of the Service on its behalf in connection with this DPA does so only on the basis of a written contract which imposes on such sub-processor terms substantially no less protective of Personal Data than those imposed on Nexusguard in this DPA (the “Relevant​ Terms”).​ Nexusguard shall procure the performance by such sub-processor of the Relevant Terms and shall be liable to the Customer for any breach by such person of any of the Relevant Terms.

 

5. Audit and records

5.1 Nexusguard shall, in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws, make available to the Customer such information in Nexusguard’s possession or control as the Customer may reasonably request with a view to demonstrating Nexusguard’s compliance with the obligations of data processors under Applicable Data Protection Law in relation to its processing of Personal Data.

5.2 The Customer may exercise its right of audit under Applicable Protection Laws in relation to Personal Data, through Nexusguard providing:
(a) an audit report not older than eighteen (18) months, prepared by an independent external auditor demonstrating that Nexusguard’s technical and organizational measures are sufficient and in accordance with an accepted industry audit standard; and
b) additional information in Nexusguard’s possession or control to a data protection supervisory authority when it requests or requires additional information in relation to the processing of Personal Data carried out by Nexusguard under this DPA.


6. Data transfers from the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK

6.1 In connection with the Service, the parties anticipate that Nexusguard may process outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA​ ”),​ Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, certain Personal Data protected by EU and UK Data Protection Laws in respect of which the Customer or any member of the Customer Group may be a data controller or data processor, as applicable, under such EU and UK Data Protection Laws.

6.2 To the extent Nexusguard is a recipient of and processes Personal Data protected by EU and UK Data Protection Laws in a country that does not provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data (within the meaning of the GDPR):

a. Nexusguard agrees to abide by and process such Personal Data in accordance with the SCCs.
Nexusguard will comply with the obligations of the ‘data importer’ in the SCCs and the Customer will comply with the obligations of the ‘data exporter’. Customer​ (as ‘data exporter’) will be deemed to have entered into the SCCs with Nexusguard (as ‘data importer’).

b. In addition, although Nexusguard does not rely on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as a legal basis for transfers of Personal Data in light of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the EU in Case C-311/18, for so long as Nexusguard is self-certified to the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, it shall continue to process such Personal Data in compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, and Nexusguard agrees to notify the Customer if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles.

c. In the event Customer seeks to conduct any assessment of the adequacy of the SCCs, Nexusguard shall, to the extent it is able, provide reasonable assistance to the Customer for the purpose of any such assessment, provided Customer shall cover all costs incurred by Nexusguard in connection with its provision of such assistance.

6.3 To the extent Nexusguard adopts an alternative data export mechanism (including any new version of or successor to the Privacy Shield adopted pursuant to applicable EU and UK Data Protection Laws) for the transfer of Personal Data not described in this DPA ("Alternative​ Transfer Mechanism"),​ the Alternative Transfer Mechanism shall apply instead of any applicable transfer mechanism described in this DPA (but only to the extent such Alternative Transfer Mechanism complies with European Data Protection Law and extends to the territories to which Personal Data is transferred), and Customer agrees to execute such other and further documents and take such other and further actions as may be reasonably necessary to give legal effect to such Alternative Transfer Mechanism.

6.4 The Customer acknowledges and accepts that the provision of the Service under the Main Agreement may require the processing of Personal Data by sub-processors in countries outside the EEA, Switzerland, or UK.

6.5 If, in the performance of this DPA, Nexusguard transfers any Personal Data to a sub-processor located outside of the EEA, Switzerland, or UK (without prejudice to obligations of the data exporter under the SCCs), Nexusguard shall in advance of any such transfer ensure that a legal mechanism to achieve adequacy in respect of that processing is in place, such as:
the requirement for Nexusguard to execute or procure that the sub-processor execute to the benefit of the Customer SCCs or
the existence of any other specifically approved safeguard for data transfers (as recognised under EU and UK Data Protection Laws) and/or a European Commission finding of adequacy.

6.6 The following terms shall apply to the SCCs:
The Customer may exercise its right of audit under the SCCs as set out in, and subject to the requirements of, clause 5.2 of this DPA; and
Nexusguard may appoint sub-processors as set out in, and subject to the requirements of, clauses 4 and 6.5 of this DPA.

 

7. Third Party Data Access Requests

7.1 In Nexusguard’s role as a data processor or sub-processor, as applicable, it may be subject to third party legal process requesting access to or disclosure of Personal Data that are inconsistent with Applicable Data Protection Laws. If​ Nexusguard becomes aware of any third party legal process requesting Personal Data that Nexusguard processes on behalf of Customer in its role as data processor or sub-processor (as applicable) then, to​ the extent that Nexusguard is able to identify that such third party legal process requesting Personal Data raises a conflict of law, Nexusguard will:​

i. immediately notify Customer of the request unless such notification is legally prohibited;
ii. inform the third party that it is a processor or sub-processor (as applicable) of the Personal Data and is not authorized to disclose the Personal Data without Customer’s consent;
iii. instruct the third party to direct its data request to Customer; and
iv. pursue legal remedies prior to producing data to the extent necessary.​

7.2 If Nexusguard provides access to or discloses Personal Data in response to third party legal process either with Customer authorization or due to a mandatory legal compulsion, then Nexusguard will only disclose such Personal Data to the extent it is legally required to do so and in accordance with applicable lawful process.

7.3 Clauses 7.1 and 7.2 shall not apply in the event that Nexusguard has a good-faith belief the government request is necessary due to an emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to an individual. In such event, Nexusguard shall notify Customer of the data disclosure as soon as possible following the disclosure and provide Customer with full details of the same, unless such disclosure is legally prohibited.

 
8. General

8.1 This DPA is without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the parties under the Main Agreement which shall continue to have full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this DPA and the terms of the Main Agreement, the terms of this DPA shall prevail so far as the subject matter concerns the processing of Personal Data.

8.2 Nexusguard’s liability under or in connection with this DPA, including under the SCCs, is subject to the exclusions and limitations on liability contained in the Main Agreement.

8.3 This DPA does not confer any third-party beneficiary rights, it is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns only, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

8.4 This DPA and any action related thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles. The parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, the courts of San Francisco, California.

8.5 If any provision of this DPA is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the DPA will remain enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer agrees that Section 8.2 (Limitation of Liability) will remain in effect notwithstanding the unenforceability of any provision of this DPA.

8.6 This DPA is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions and agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter. Other than in respect of statements made fraudulently, no other representations or terms shall apply or form part of this DPA. No modification of, amendment to, or waiver of any rights under the DPA will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized signatory of each party. This DPA may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. Each person signing below warrants that he or she is duly authorized and has legal capacity to execute and deliver this DPA. Each party warrants to the other that the execution and delivery of this DPA, and the performance of such party’s obligations hereunder, have been duly authorized and that this DPA is a valid and legally binding agreement on each such party, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

B. More specifically, Nexusguard’s security program shall include:


Access Control of Processing Areas

Nexusguard implements suitable measures in order to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to the data processing equipment (namely telephones, database and application servers and related hardware) where the personal data are processed or used, including:

  • establishing security areas;
  • protection and restriction of access paths;
  • establishing access authorizations for employees and third parties, including the respective documentation;
  • all access to the data center where personal data are hosted is logged, monitored, and tracked; and
  • the data center where personal data are hosted is secured by a security alarm system, and other appropriate security measures.

Access Control to Data Processing Systems

Nexusguard implements suitable measures to prevent their data processing systems from being used by unauthorized persons, including:

  • use of adequate encryption technologies;
  • identification of the terminal and/or the terminal user to the Nexusguard and processing systems;
  • automatic temporary lock-out of user terminal if left idle, identification and password required to reopen;
  • automatic temporary lock-out of the user ID when several erroneous passwords are entered, log file of events, monitoring of break-in-attempts (alerts); and
  • all access to data content is logged, monitored, and tracked.
 
Access Control to Use Specific Areas of Data Processing Systems

Nexusguard commits that the persons entitled to use their data processing system are only able to access the data within the scope and to the extent covered by their respective access permission (authorization) and that personal data cannot be read, copied or modified or removed without authorization. This shall be accomplished by various measures including:

  • employee policies and training in respect of each employee’s access rights to the personal data;
  • allocation of individual terminals and /or terminal user, and identification characteristics exclusive to specific functions;
  • monitoring capability in respect of individuals who delete, add or modify the personal data;
  • release of data only to authorized persons, including allocation of differentiated access rights and roles;
  • use of adequate encryption technologies; and
  • control of files, controlled and documented destruction of data.

Availability Control

Nexusguard implements suitable measures to ensure that personal data are protected from accidental destruction or loss, including:

  • infrastructure redundancy; and
  • backup is stored at an alternative site and available for restore in case of failure of the primary system.

Transmission Control

Nexusguard implements suitable measures to prevent the personal data from being read, copied, altered or deleted by unauthorized parties during the transmission thereof or during the transport of the data media. This is accomplished by various measures including:

  • use of adequate firewall, VPN and encryption technologies to protect the gateways and pipelines through which the data travels;
  • certain highly confidential employee data (e.g., personally identifiable information such as National ID numbers, credit or debit card numbers) is also encrypted within the system; and providing user alert upon incomplete transfer of data (end to end check); and
  • as far as possible, all data transmissions are logged, monitored and tracked.

Input Control

Nexusguard implements suitable input control measures, including:

  • an authorization policy for the input, reading, alteration and deletion of data;
  • authentication of the authorized personnel;
  • protective measures for the data input into memory, as well as for the reading, alteration and deletion of stored data;
  • utilization of unique authentication credentials or codes (passwords);
  • providing that entries to data processing facilities (the rooms housing the computer hardware and related equipment) are kept locked;
  • automatic log-off of user ID's that have not been used for a substantial period of time; and proof established within Nexusguard’s organization of the input authorization; and
  • electronic recording of entries.
 
Separation of Processing for different Purposes

Nexusguard implements suitable measures to ensure that data collected for different purposes can be processed separately, including:

  • access to data is separated through application security for the appropriate users;
  • modules within the Nexusguard’s data base separate which data is used for which purpose, i.e. by functionality and function;
  • at the database level, data is stored in different normalized tables, separated per module, per Controller Customer or function they support; and
  • interfaces, batch processes and reports are designed for only specific purposes and functions, so data collected for specific purposes is processed separately.
 
Documentation

Nexusguard will keep documentation of technical and organizational measures in case of audits and for the conservation of evidence. Nexusguard shall take reasonable steps to ensure that persons employed by it, and other persons at the place of work concerned, are aware of and comply with the technical and organizational measures set forth in this Appendix 2.
