(i)     A description of the nature of the Personal Data Breach including the categories and approximate number of data records concerned;

(ii)     The likely consequences of the Personal Data Breach; and

(iii)    The measures taken or to be taken by Omnisend to address the Personal Data Breach, including measures to mitigate any possible adverse consequences; and

If a request from a Data Subject exercising their Data Subject rights is made directly to Omnisend, Omnisend will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, inform Customer thereof and will advise Data Subjects to submit their request to Customer. Customer shall be solely responsible for responding to any such Data Subject requests.

5.3. If a Data Subject brings a claim directly against Omnisend for a violation of its Data Subject rights, Customer will indemnify Omnisend for any cost, charge, damages, expenses or loss arising from such a claim, to the extent Omnisend has notified Customer about the claim and given Customer the opportunity to cooperate with Omnisend in the defense and settlement of the claim.

6. Security Measures

6.1. Omnisend shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures that are designed to protect Customer Personal Data from Personal Data Breaches and designed to preserve the security and confidentiality of Customer Data in accordance with Omnisend’s security standards described in Annex B (“Security Measures”).

6.2. Customer acknowledges that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that Omnisend may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time, provided that such updates and modifications do not result in the degradation of the overall security of the Services provided to Customer.

6.3. Notwithstanding the above, Customer agrees that except as provided by this DPA, Customer is responsible for its secure use of the Services, including securing its account authentication credentials, protecting the security of Customer Personal Data when in transit to and from the Services, and taking any appropriate steps to securely encrypt or backup any Customer Personal Data uploaded to the Services.

7. Audits

7.1. Omnisend will maintain all appropriate records of Processing carried out in respect of Customer Personal Data in accordance with this DPA as well as with the applicable Data Protection Laws (the “Records”). Omnisend shall, in accordance with the Data Protection Laws and in response to a reasonable, lawful written request by Customer, make available to Customer information in Omnisend’s possession or control related to Omnisend’s compliance with the Data Protection Laws in relation to its Processing of Customer Personal Data.

7.2. To the extent required pursuant to GDPR, Customer may, upon 30 days’ prior written request and no more than once per calendar year unless otherwise required by applicable law, during regular business hours, without interrupting Omnisend’s business operations, and subject to Omnisend’s onsite confidentiality and security procedures and policies, conduct an inspection of the relevant portions of the Records for the sole purposes of assessing Customer’s compliance with GDPR and assessing Omnisend’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA. Subject to Processor’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the foregoing right may be exercised on Customer’s behalf by a qualified third party auditor. Access by any third party auditor shall be subject to such auditor’s agreement to confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth in the Agreements with respect to Confidential Information, provided that all such Records and information may be disclosed to Customer.

8. Sub-Processors

8.1. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Omnisend may engage Sub-Processors. Customer agrees Omnisend may continue to use those Sub-Processors already engaged by Omnisend as of the date this DPA applies to Customer.

8.2. Omnisend shall maintain an up-to-date list of its Sub-Processors, which is available to Customer upon request. Omnisend shall notify Customer if it adds or removes Sub-Processors at least 10 days prior to any such changes if Customer opts in to receive such notifications by subscribing here. Within such 10-day period, Customer can object to the addition of a proposed Sub-Processor on the basis that such addition would cause Customer to violate applicable legal requirements.  Customer’s objection shall be in writing and include Customer’s specific reasons for its objection and options to mitigate, if any. If Customer does not object within such 10-day period, the proposed Sub-Processor may be commissioned to Process Customer Personal Data. If Customer objects to the addition of a Sub-Processor in accordance with this Section 8.2 and Omnisend cannot reasonably accommodate Customer’s objection, Omnisend will notify Customer. Customer may terminate the affected services by providing Omnisend with a written notice within one (1) month of the Omnisend’s notice, which termination will not affect Customer’s obligation to pay amounts accrued to Omnisend prior to, and including, the effective termination date.

8.3. Omnisend shall: (i) enter into a written agreement with each Sub-Processor containing data protection obligations that provide at least the same level of protection for Customer Personal Data as those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the service provided by such Sub-Processor; and (ii) remain responsible for such Sub-Processor’s compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of such Sub-Processor that cause Omnisend to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.

9. Data Transfers

9.1. Where the performance of the Services involves a transfer of Customer Personal Data outside the EEA, Omnisend will take such steps as may be required to ensure there is adequate protection for such Customer Personal Data in accordance with the applicable Data Protection Laws, which may include entering into the Standard Contractual Clauses. The Standard Contractual Clauses will apply to Customer Personal Data that is transferred outside the EEA, either directly or via onward transfer, to any country not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data (as described in the GDPR). The Standard Contractual Clauses will not apply to Customer Personal Data that is not transferred, either directly or via onward transfer, outside the EEA. By agreeing to this DPA, Customer is entering into the Standard Contractual Clauses with Omnisend. In addition, by agreeing to this DPA, Customer is entering into the Standard Contractual Clauses with Omnisend’s Sub-Processors established outside either the EEA or countries considered by the European Commission to have adequate protection.

9.2. If Customer notifies Omnisend in writing about another Controller and Omnisend does not object within thirty (30) days after Customer’s notification, Customer agrees on behalf of such other Controller(s), or if unable to agree, will procure agreement of such Controller(s), to be additional data exporter(s) of the Standard Contractual Clauses concluded between Omnisend and Customer.  Customer agrees and, if applicable, procures the agreement of other Controllers that the Standard Contractual Clauses, including any claims arising from them, are subject to the terms set forth in the Agreements, including the exclusions and limitations of liability.

9.3. To the extent Customer and Omnisend are relying on a specific statutory mechanism to normalize international data transfers and that mechanism is subsequently revoked, or held in a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, Customer and Omnisend agree to cooperate in good faith to pursue a suitable alternate mechanism that can lawfully support the transfer.

10. General Provisions

10.1. Where individual provisions of this DPA are invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this DPA shall not be affected.

10.2. Customer will make a written request for any assistance referred to in this DPA. Omnisend will charge Customer no more than a reasonable charge to perform such assistance or Additional Instructions, such charge to be set forth in a quote and agreed in writing by the parties.

11. Annexes

Annex A – “Standard Contractual Clauses”. This annex is made available herein, as amended (by law) from time to time.

Annex B – “Security Measures”. This annex is available, as amended from time to time, upon request.

Annex C – “Jurisdiction-Specific Terms”. To the extent Omnisend Processes Customer Personal Data originating from and protected by the Data Protection Laws in one of the jurisdictions listed in Annex C, which may be updated from time to time, then the terms specified in Annex C with respect to the applicable jurisdiction(s) (“Jurisdiction-Specific Terms”) apply in addition to the terms of this DPA. In the event of any conflict or ambiguity between the Jurisdiction-Specific Terms and any other terms of this DPA, the applicable Jurisdiction-Specific Terms will take precedence, but only to the extent of the Jurisdiction-Specific Terms’ applicability to the data in question.

Clause 9

Governing Law

The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

Clause 11

Subprocessing

  1. The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor’s obligations under such agreement.
  2. The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
  3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
  4. The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter’s data protection supervisory authority.

Clause 12

Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services

  1. The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
  2. The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.

(i)    “Controller” shall include “Business”;

(ii)    “Processor” shall include “Service Provider”;

(iii)    “Data Subject” shall include “Consumer”; and

(iv)    “Personal Data” shall include “Personal Information”.

2. Data Processing

2.1. Omnisend shall provide the Services and process Customer Personal Data in accordance with the Agreements. Omnisend certifies that it shall not Process, retain, use, or disclose a Consumer’s Personal Information for any purpose other than for the specific purpose of performing the Services specified in the Agreements.

2.3. Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in Section 2.2, Customer agrees that Omnisend may engage other Service Providers, to assist in providing the Services to the Customer. If Customer authorizes any subcontractor, service provider, or third party to process Personal Information made available by Customer, Omnisend shall enter into contractual provisions so that such subcontractor, service provider, or third party is a “Service Provider” (as defined under the CCPA) and not a third-party (as defined under the CCPA).

2.4. Omnisend hereby certifies that it understands and is willing to abide by the restrictions in CCPA § 1798.140(w)(2)(A).

2.5. Omnisend shall implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information, to protect any Personal Information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure.

3.4. Omnisend shall not be required to delete any of the Personal Information to comply with a Consumer’s request directed by Customer if it is necessary to maintain such information in accordance with CCPA § 1798.105(d), in which case Omnisend shall promptly inform Customer of the exceptions relied upon under CCPA § 1798.105(d) and Omnisend shall not use the Personal Information retained for any other purpose than provided for by that exception.

ANNEX B

Security Measures

This document constitutes the Security Measures annex (the “Security Annex”) of the Omnisend Data Processing Agreement (the “DPA”). The Security Annex is stated at a relatively high level and Customer recognizes that the Security Annex may be revised by Omnisend from time to time. All terms used and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the DPA.

HUMAN RESOURCES SECURITY

Omnisend has implemented and maintains appropriate measures to ensure that authorized employees involved in the processing of Customer Personal Data are authorized with a need to access the data, are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations and have undergone appropriate training in the protection and handling of Customer Personal Data. Omnisend employees operate primarily “in the cloud” and treat local storage on computing devices as ephemeral.

Omnisend ensures that access to Customer Personal Data is revoked immediately upon termination or when access is no longer required for personnel involved in the processing of Customer Personal Data.

PHYSICAL SECURITY

Policies and procedures, and supporting business processes, are in place for maintaining a safe and secure working environment in Omnisend’s offices and controlling physical access, including access provisioning.

The Services rely on the Google Cloud Platform who is responsible for implementing controls for physical security of data center facilities, backup media, and other physical systems, providing comprehensive and state-of-the-art security capabilities (available at https://cloud.google.com/security/infrastructure/design/resources/google_infrastructure_whitepaper_fa.pdf).

ACCESS CONTROL

Omnisend has implemented and maintains access control processes and mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access to Customer Personal Data and to limit access only to authorized employees with a business need to know.

Upon termination of personnel, whether voluntary or involuntary, the security team will follow Omnisend’s personnel exit procedure, which includes revocation of the associated user account and reclamation of company-owned devices, office keys or access cards, and all other corporate equipment and property prior to the final day of employment.

EVENT LOGGING AND MONITORING

Log files and audit trails will be maintained (for as long as required under applicable law) and regularly reviewed to detect and respond to events concerning activities on the Services.

NETWORK SECURITY

The Services rely on the Google Cloud Platform who is responsible for implementing data center network security providing comprehensive and state-of-the-art security capabilities (available at https://cloud.google.com/security/infrastructure/design/resources/google_infrastructure_whitepaper_fa.pdf).

Omnisend ensures that firewalls, network routers, switches, load balancers, domain name servers, mail servers, and other network components of the network infrastructures under its control and management responsibility are configured and secured in accordance with commercially reasonable industry standards.

REMOTE ACCESS

Omnisend has implemented and maintains remote access policies and procedures that meet or exceed industry standards for Omnisend personnel who require remote access to a network or system that protects, processes or stores Customer Personal Data.

PROTECTION FROM DATA LOSS, CORRUPTION

All databases are kept separate and dedicated to prevent corruption and overlap. Omnisend has implemented logic that segregates user accounts from each other.

DATA DESTRUCTION

Omnisend relies on the Google Cloud Platform for data destruction and can only perform logical deletion. Deleted Customer Personal Data is rendered unreadable or disabled by the Google Cloud Platform and the underlying storage areas on the Google Cloud Platform network that were used to store the content are wiped, prior to being reclaimed and overwritten, in accordance with the Google Cloud Platform standard policies and deletion timelines available at: https://cloud.google.com/security/deletion.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND DISASTER RECOVERY

Omnisend services hosted in the Google Cloud Platform shall be configured in such a manner so as to withstand long-term outages to a Google Cloud Platform Availability Zone. Controls such as automated replication may be used to achieve this desired level of availability.
