3. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS AND COOPERATION

3.1 Data Subject Requests. The Service provides Customer with a number of controls that Customer may use to retrieve, correct, delete, or restrict Customer Data, which Customer may use to assist it in connection with its obligations under the Data Protection Laws including, for example, its obligations relating to responding to Requests from Data Subjects or applicable data protection authorities. To the extent Customer is unable to independently access the relevant Customer Data within the Service, Airship will provide reasonable cooperation to assist Customer, at Customer’s cost to the extent legally permissible, to respond to any requests from Data Subjects or applicable data protection authorities relating to the processing of Personal Data under the Agreement and this Addendum. In the event any such request is made directly to Airship, Airship will not respond to such communication directly without Customer’s prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so. If Airship is required to respond to such a request, Airship will promptly notify Customer and provide it with a copy of the request unless legally prohibited from doing so.

3.2 Records of Processing. The Service provides Customer with ability to access certain Customer Data to provide records of processing.  To the extent Customer is unable to independently access the relevant records of processing of Customer Data within the Service, Airship will provide reasonable cooperation to assist Customer in a timely manner as is required by Customer to demonstrate Airship’s compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Laws and under this Addendum.

3.3 Government Requests. If a law enforcement agency sends Airship a demand for Customer Data (for example, through a subpoena or court order), Airship will attempt to redirect the law enforcement agency to request that data directly from Customer. As part of this effort, Airship may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the law enforcement agency. If compelled to disclose Customer Data to a law enforcement agency, then Airship will give Customer reasonable notice of the demand to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless Airship is legally prohibited from doing so.

3.4 Data Protection Impact Assessments. To the extent Airship is required under Data Protection Laws, Airship will provide reasonably requested information regarding the Service to enable the Customer to carry out data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with data protection authorities as required by law.

Airship shall ensure that such confidentiality obligations survive the termination of the personnel engagement.  

5. SUB-PROCESSORS

5.1 Appointment of Sub-processors. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (a) Airship’s Affiliates may be retained as Sub-processors; and (b) Airship may engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Service. Airship has entered into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those described in Security Measures with respect to the protection of Personal Data to the extent applicable to the nature of the Service provided by such Sub-processor. Airship shall make available to Customer the current list of Sub-processors for the Service by posting that list online at: https://www.airship.com/legal/subprocessors.

5.2 Objection Right for new Sub-processors. If Customer has a reasonable basis to object to Airship’s use of a new Sub-processor, Customer shall notify Airship promptly in writing within seven (7) days after receipt of Airship’s notice regarding such new Sub-processor. In the event Customer objects to a new Sub-processor(s) on a reasonable basis, Airship will use reasonable efforts to work in good faith with Customer to find an acceptable, reasonable, alternate solution. If the parties are not able to agree to an alternate solution within a reasonable time (no more than 30 days), Customer may terminate the applicable Order Form(s) in respect only to the specific Service which cannot be provided by Airship without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor, by providing written notice to Airship.

6. SECURITY

6.1 Controls for the Protection of Personal Data. Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Airship shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to that risk, including, the measures described in the Security Measures. Customer is responsible for reviewing the information made available by Airship relating to data security and making an independent determination as to whether the Service meets Customer’s requirements. Customer acknowledges that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that 

Airship 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 Service purchased by the Customer.

6.2 Third-Party Certifications. Airship has obtained the third-party certifications and audits set forth in the Security Measures. Upon Customer’s written request at reasonable intervals, Airship shall provide an executive summary of Airship’s then most recent third-party audits or certifications, as applicable, that Airship generally makes available to its customers at the time of such request. 

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

6.3 Audits. Upon Customer’s request, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement, Airship shall make available to Customer information regarding the Airship’s compliance with the obligations set forth in this Addendum in the form of the third-party certifications and audits described in the Security Measures. Customer may contact Airship in accordance with the “Notices” Section of the Agreement to schedule an on-site audit of the procedures relevant to the protection of Personal Data. Customer shall reimburse Airship for any time expended for any such on-site audit at the Airship’s then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Customer upon request. Before the commencement of any such on-site audit, Customer and Airship shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit. Customer shall promptly notify Airship with information regarding any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit.

7.  DATA BREACH MANAGEMENT AND NOTIFICATION 

Airship maintains data breach management policies and procedures specified in the Security Measures and shall, to the extent permitted by law, notify Customer without undue delay (no more than 72 hours of becoming aware) of any actual breach of security of the Service leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data on the Service of which Airship becomes aware (a “Data Breach”) and provide details of the Data Breach to the Customer. To the extent such Data Breach is caused by a violation of the requirements of this Addendum by Airship, Airship shall identify and remediate the cause of such Data Breach. Airship shall assist Customer (taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to Airship) in relation to Customer’s obligations under Data Protection Laws with respect to: (a) notifications to the Supervisory Authority and/or communications to data subjects by Customer in response to any Data Breach; and (b) Customer’s compliance with its respective obligations under the applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to the security of processing. 

8.  DELETION OF CUSTOMER DATA 

Airship shall delete Customer Data in accordance with the procedures and timeframes specified in the Agreement and the Data Retention Schedule available online at:  https://docs.airship.com/reference/general/#data-retention-schedule. The parties agree that the certification of deletion of Personal Data shall be provided by Airship to Customer only upon Customer’s written request.  Within ninety (90) days of

termination or expiration of the Agreement, Airship will delete all Customer Data (including copies) in its possession or control, save that this requirement will not apply to the extent Airship is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Customer Data, or to Customer Data it has archived on back-up systems, which Customer Data Airship will securely isolate and protect from any further processing, except to the extent required by applicable law.

9. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

9.1 Processing Locations. Airship stores Customer Data in the United States or in the European Union, based on the selection made by the Customer as specified on the applicable Order Form.  If no location is stated on the Order Form, Airship stores Customer Data in the United States. For purposes of providing the Service, Customer Data may transfer from the originating location of Customer Data to the Service located in the United States or the European Union, as applicable. Additionally, for purposes of providing the Service including technical support, error fixes and operation purposes, Customer Data may be accessed from or relevant parts of Customer Data copied to locations where Airship’s Affiliates are located.

9.2 Privacy Shield. To the extent that Airship processes any Personal Data protected by Data Protection Laws under the Agreement and/or that originates from the EEA or UK, in the USA, the parties acknowledge that Airship will be deemed to provide adequate protection (within the meaning of Data Protection Laws) for any such Personal Data by virtue of having self-certified its compliance with Privacy Shield. Airship agrees to protect such Personal Data in accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Shield Principles. If Airship is unable to comply with this requirement, Airship will inform Customer.  In the event that Privacy Shield is no longer considered an adequate measure for transferring Personal Data to the United States of America, the parties shall enter into standard contractual clauses as described in Section 9.3.

9.3 Standard Contractual Clauses. As an alternative transfer mechanism to the Privacy Shield certification referenced in Section 9.2, to the extent that Airship processes any Personal Data protected by Data Protection Laws under the Agreement and/or that originates from the EEA or UK, in a country that has not been designated by the European Commission or Swiss Federal Data Protection Authority (as applicable) as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data, Airship and Customer may enter into the standard clauses  approved by the European Commission from time to time for the transfer of Personal Data to Data Processors established in third countries, the approved version of which in force at present is that set out in the European Commission’s Decision 2010/87/EU of 5 February 2010, available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32010D0087&from=EN.

9.4 UK Processing. In order to provide the Service (including related technical support and account management), Airship processes Customer Data in the UK. To the extent that Airship transfers any Personal Data protected by Data Protection Laws under the Agreement and/or that originates from the EEA to the UK and the UK has ceased to be a member of the European Union and has not been designated by the European Commission or Swiss Federal Data Protection Authority (as applicable) as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data, the Customer and Airship (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby enter into the Standard Contractual Clauses as set out in Annex 1 in respect of such transfer. For the purposes of Annex 1, the Customer shall be deemed to be the “data exporter” and Airship shall be deemed to be the “data importer”.

10. RELATIONSHIP WITH THE AGREEMENT

10.1 Status of Agreement. The parties agree that this Addendum will replace any existing data protection addendum or similar agreement the parties may have previously entered into in connection with the Service. Except for the changes made by this Addendum, the Agreement remains unchanged and in full force and effect. If there is any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum will prevail to the extent of that conflict.

10.2 Claims. Any claims brought under or in connection with this Addendum will be subject to the terms and conditions, including but not limited to, the exclusions and limitations set forth in the Agreement. Other than liability that may not be limited under applicable law, each party’s and all of its Affiliates’ liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this Addendum, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the ‘Limitation of Liability’ section of the Agreement, and any reference in such section to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party and all of its Affiliates under the Agreement and all Addenda together.

Any claims against Airship or its Affiliates under this Addendum will be brought solely against the entity that is a party to the Agreement. Customer further agrees that any regulatory penalties or other liability incurred by Airship in relation to the Customer Data that arise as a result of, or in connection with, Customer’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Addendum or any applicable Data Protection Laws will count toward and reduce Airship’s liability under the Agreement as if it were liability to the Customer under the Agreement.

10.4 Governing Law. This Addendum will be governed by and construed in accordance with governing law and jurisdiction provisions in the Agreement, unless required otherwise by applicable Data Protection Laws.

The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the clauses.

3. Third-party beneficiary clause

(i)any legally binding request for disclosure of the personal data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited, such as a prohibition under criminal law to preserve the confidentiality of a law enforcement investigation;

(ii) any accidental or unauthorised access; and

(iii) any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it has been otherwise authorised to do so;

6.2 If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his sub-processor of any of their obligations referred to in clause 3 or in clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The data importer may not rely on a breach by a sub-processor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.

6.3 If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the sub-processor of any of their obligations referred to in clause clause 3 or in clause 11, because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the sub-processor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data sub-processor with regard to its own processing operations under the clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.  The liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the clauses.

7. Mediation and jurisdiction

The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:

7.1 to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;

7.2 to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

8. Co-operation with supervisory authorities

8.1 The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.

8.2 The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any sub-processor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.

8.3 The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any sub-processor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any sub-processor, pursuant to paragraph 2.  In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in clause 5(b).

9. Governing law

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

10. Variation of the contract

The parties undertake not to vary or modify the clauses.  This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the clause.

11. Sub-processing

11.1 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 sub-processor which imposes the same obligations on the sub-processor as are imposed on the data importer under the clauses.  Where the sub-processor 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 sub-processor’s obligations under such agreement.

11.2 The prior written contract between the data importer and the sub-processor 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 sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the clauses.

11.4 The provisions relating to data protection aspects for sub-processing 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.

11.5 The data exporter shall keep a list of sub-processing 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.

12. Obligation after the termination of personal data-processing services

12.1 The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data-processing services, the data importer and the sub-processor 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.

12.2 The data importer and the sub-processor 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.
