Roles of the Parties; Scope and Purposes of Processing.
This DPA applies to Personal Data, if any, that Singuli Processes pursuant to the Agreement.
The Parties agree that where Client is a Controller or Business, Singuli is its Processor or Service Provider. Where Client is a Processor or Service Provider, Singuli acts as Client’s Processor (i.e., its Subprocessor) or Service Provider.
Singuli will Process Personal Data solely: (i) to fulfill its obligations to Client under the Agreement, including this DPA; (ii) on Client’s behalf; and (iii) in compliance with Data Privacy Laws. Except as explicitly authorized under Data Privacy Laws, Singuli will:
- not retain, use, or disclose the Personal Data outside of the direct business relationship between Client and Singuli;
- not “sell” or “share” any Personal Data, as such terms are defined in applicable U.S. State Privacy Laws, to any third party;
- not attempt to (1) re-identify any pseudonymized, anonymized, aggregate, or de-identified Personal Data, or (2) link, identify, or otherwise create a relationship between Personal Data and non-Personal Data or any other data, without Client’s express written permission;
- comply with any applicable restrictions under Data Privacy Laws on combining the Personal Data with personal data that Singuli receives from, or on behalf of, another person or persons, or that Singuli collects from any interaction between it and any individual; and
- not otherwise engage in any Processing of the Personal Data that is prohibited or not permitted by Processors or Service Providers under Data Privacy Laws.
Client retains the right, upon notice, to take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized use of Personal Data, including any use of Personal Data not expressly authorized in this DPA.
Personal Data Processing Requirements. Singuli will:
- Provide the same level of protection for the Personal Data as is required under Data Privacy Laws applicable to Client.
- Ensure that the persons it authorizes to Process the Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
- Assist Client in the fulfilment of Client’s obligations to respond to verifiable requests by Data Subjects (or their lawful representatives) for exercising their rights under Data Privacy Laws (such as rights to access or delete Personal Data).
- Promptly notify Client of (i) any third-party or Data Subject complaints regarding the Processing of Personal Data; or (ii) any government or Data Subject requests for access to or information about Singuli’s Processing of Personal Data on Client’s behalf, unless prohibited by Data Privacy Laws. If Singuli receives a third party, Data Subject, or governmental request, except where prohibited by Data Privacy Laws, Singuli will await written instructions from Client on how, if at all, to assist in responding to the request. Singuli will provide Client with reasonable cooperation and assistance in relation to any such request.
- Provide reasonable assistance to and cooperation with Client for Client’s performance of a data protection impact assessment of Processing or proposed Processing of Personal Data, when required by applicable Data Privacy Laws.
- Provide reasonable assistance to and cooperation with Client for Client’s consultation with regulatory authorities in relation to the Processing or proposed Processing of Personal Data, including complying with any obligation applicable to Singuli under Data Privacy Laws to consult with a regulatory authority in relation to Singuli’s Processing or proposed Processing of Personal Data.
- Promptly notify Client if Singuli determines that (i) it can no longer meet its obligations under this DPA or Data Privacy Laws; or (ii) it has breached this DPA, and shall cooperate to remediate such breach; or (iii) in Singuli’s opinion, an instruction from Client infringes Data Privacy Laws.
Data Security. Singuli will implement appropriate administrative, technical, physical, and organizational measures to protect Personal Data, as set forth in Exhibit B hereto.
Security Breach. Singuli will notify Client promptly, and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours, of any Security Breach. Singuli will comply with the Security Breach-related obligations directly applicable to it under Data Privacy Laws and will assist Client in Client’s compliance with its Security Breach-related obligations, including without limitation by:
- At Singuli’s own expense, taking steps to mitigate the effects of the Security Breach and reduce the risk to Data Subjects whose Personal Data was involved; and
- Providing Client with the following information, to the extent known:
- The nature of the Security Breach, including, where possible, how the Security Breach occurred, the categories and approximate number of Data Subjects concerned, and the categories and approximate number of Personal Data records concerned;
- The likely consequences of the Security Breach; and
- Measures taken or proposed to be taken by Singuli to address the Security Breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.
Subprocessors.
- Client acknowledges and agrees that Singuli may use Subprocessors to Process Personal Data in accordance with the provisions in this DPA and Data Privacy Laws. Where Singuli sub-contracts any of its rights or obligations concerning Personal Data to a Subprocessor, Singuli will: (i) take steps to select and retain Subprocessors that are capable of maintaining appropriate privacy and security measures to protect Personal Data consistent with applicable Data Privacy Laws; and (ii) require that each Subprocessor complies with obligations that are no less restrictive than those imposed on Singuli under this DPA.
- To the extent Singuli Processes Personal Data subject to applicable Data Privacy Laws in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, Singuli has provided a current list of Singuli’s Subprocessors in Exhibit C hereto. Singuli will maintain an up-to-date list of its Subprocessors, and it will provide Client with notice of any new Subprocessor added to the list prior to transferring Personal Data to such new Subprocessor. In order to receive such notice, Client is required to register with Singuli by sending an email to dpa-notifications@singuli.co. In the event Client objects to a new Subprocessor within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice at the email address registered with Singuli, the Parties will cooperate in good faith to resolve the objection Client has identified with such Subprocessor’s access to Personal Data.If Singuli and Client reach an impasse as to how to mitigate material risks that Client has identified with such Subprocessor’s access to Personal Data, Client may terminate the Agreement by notifying Singuli within sixty (60) days after Singuli’s notice of its engagement of such Subprocessor.
Data Transfers.
- Singuli will not engage in any cross-border Processing of Personal Data, or transmit, directly or indirectly, any Personal Data to any country outside of the country from which such Personal Data was collected, without complying with applicable Data Privacy Laws. Where Singuli engages in an onward transfer of Personal Data, Singuli shall ensure that a lawful data transfer mechanism is in place prior to transferring Personal Data from one country to another.
