General Data Protection Regulation

Dear Customers,

Protection of personal data has always been a top priority for Templafy and we welcome the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that came into effect on May 25th 2018. One GDPR requirement is that we must describe how we ensure GDPR compliance and commit to this in a data processing agreement with our customers.

Some of you already have individual data processing agreements with Templafy and for those who do not, the following Data Processing Agreement will govern this important part of our relationship.

Best regards,

Jesper Theill Eriksen

4.  TECHNICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL SECURITY MEASURES

​4.1            Templafy will implement and maintain throughout the term of the DPA and will procure its Sub-processors to implement and maintain through the term of the DPA, the appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, damage or alteration and against unauthorized disclosure, abuse or other processing in violation of the requirements of Data Protection Law. 

​4.2            Templafy will ensure that it and its Sub-processors will at all times comply with the minimum data security requirements set out in Exhibit 2, which may , from time to time, be updated, provided that such updates and modifications do not degrade or diminish the overall security of the Services. 

​4.3            Customer has evaluated the security measures implemented by Templafy and agrees that they provide an appropriate level of protection for Customer Personal Data.

​5.1            Templafy shall ensure that any personnel required to access Customer Personal Data have committed themselves to the obligation of confidentiality set out in the Agreement or are under a statutory obligation of confidentiality. 

​5.2            Templafy shall ensure that its personnel required to access Customer Personal Data are informed of the confidential nature of Customer Personal Data and the security procedures applicable to the processing of or access to Customer Personal Data. 

​5.3            Templafy’s personnel’s confidentiality obligations will survive the termination of the personnel engagement and the term of this DPA. 

6.  ASSISTANCE TO THE CUSTOMER AS DATA CONTROLLER

​6.1            Templafy shall provide reasonable and timely assistance, by appropriate technical and organizational measures to Customer to enable them to respond to: (i) any request from a data subject to exercise any of its rights under Applicable Data Protection Law (including its rights of access, correction, objection, erasure and data portability, as applicable); and (ii) any other correspondence, enquiry or complaint received from a data subject, Regulator or other third party in connection with the processing of the Personal Data. In the event that any such request, correspondence, enquiry or complaint is made directly to  Templafy, Templafy shall promptly inform Customer providing full details of the same, unless prohibited by the applicable law. 

​6.2            Templafy shall reasonably assist Customer with its obligation to conduct any data protection impact assessment required by Applicable Data Protection Law. 

7.  SUB-PROCESSORS

​7.1            The Sub-processors, approved by Customer, are listed at https://www.templafy.com/sub-processors/. Customer hereby gives a general authorization for the engagement of additional Sub-processors for the purpose of performing its obligations under the Agreement, provided  Templafy shall: 

• maintain an up-to-date list of its Sub-processors on at https://www.templafy.com/data-processing-agreement/ (or any future website used by  Templafy);  

provide at least 30 days prior notice (except to the extent a 30 days’ notice is not possible due to an emergency concerning Service availability or security) to Customer of any change to its Sub-processors via Templafy’s usual e-mail notification process; 

• execute a written agreement that obligates the Sub-processor to (i) protect Customer Personal Data to the same extent required of Templafy by the Agreement; and (ii) comply with Applicable Data Protection Law.  

​7.2            If Customer objects to such new Sub-processor on reasonable grounds within 30 days of receiving notice, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to find an alternative solution. If such alternative solution cannot be found and  Templafy decides to proceed with such Sub-processor, Customer may terminate the Agreement with 30 days prior written notice. Neither of the Parties shall be considered in breach of contract in the event of such termination. Customer acknowledges that Templafy provides a standardized service to all customers which does not allow using different Sub-processors for different customers and, therefore, that the inability to use a particular new or replacement Sub-processor for the Services to the Customer may result in delay in performing the Services, inability to perform the Services or increased fees. Templafy will notify Customer in writing of any change to Services or fees that would result from Templafy’s inability to use a new or replacement Sub-processor to which Customer has reasonably objected. If Customer does not object to a new Sub-processor's engagement within 30 days, that new Sub-processor shall be deemed accepted. 

​7.3            Templafy shall be liable for the acts or omissions of its Sub-processors to the same extent that Templafy would be liable if performing the Services of each Sub-processor directly under the terms of this DPA.

​8.2            Any transfer of Customer Personal Data made from EEA, Switzerland or United Kingdom to a Restricted Country will be subject to the Standard Contractual Clauses (together with the UK Addendum, where UK Data Protection Law applies) and any other supplementary measures required to enable the lawful transfer of Customer Personal Data. The Parties agree to promptly undertake to amend this DPA if necessary to incorporate an updated data transfer mechanism to maintain compliance with EU Data Protection Law and UK GDPR. 

8.3            If any Customer Personal Data originates from any country (other than an EEA country) with one or more laws imposing data transfer restrictions or prohibitions and Customer has informed  Templafy of such data transfer restrictions or prohibitions, Customer and  Templafy shall ensure an appropriate transfer mechanism (satisfying the country’s data transfer requirements) is in place, as reasonably requested by Customer and mutually agreed upon by both Parties, before transferring or accessing Customer’s Data outside of such country. For the avoidance of doubt, this transfer restriction does not apply to Customer’s or its Affiliates’ Authorized Users who have access to the Services and Customer Data, and  Templafy shall not be held responsible for actions of Customer or its Affiliates’ Authorized Users. Neither Customer nor its Authorized Users shall be entitled to use the Services in any country with data localization laws that would require Customer’s environment to be hosted in said country.

​c) describe the likely consequences of the Data Breach, and 

​d) describe the measures taken or proposed to be taken by Templafy to address the Data Breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. 

11.  ADDITIONAL ASSIGNMENTS

​11.1            In respect of tasks assigned to Templafy, that are not an obligation under this DPA and go beyond Templafy’s statutory obligations, Templafy shall be entitled to charge Customer for the additional resources, time and material necessary to fulfill the required task(s), unless such services are already included in the Services provided under the Agreement. 

​11.2            Templafy will notify Customer in advance of such additional charges and, to the extent possible, provide Customer with a quote of the expected costs.

If compelled to disclose or provide access to any Customer Personal Data to law enforcement, Templafy will promptly notify Customer and provide a copy of the request, unless legally prohibited from doing so. 

​13.2            Templafy shall only cooperate with the issued request or order if legally obliged to do so and, where possible, Templafy shall judicially object to the request or order or the prohibition to inform Customer about this or to follow the instructions of Customer.
