  1. OBLIGATIONS OF PARCY

3.1  Parcy agrees

(a)  to process Client Personal Data only: (i) on behalf of Client and/or the applicable business or controller and in accordance with Client’s documented instructions unless otherwise required by European Union or European Member State law or state or Federal U.S. law to which Parcy is subject; (ii) for the purpose of carrying out the Services or as otherwise instructed by Client; and(iii) in compliance with this DPA.

(b) that it shall not process the personal information other than on Client’s documented instructions in the Agreement, which include processing to detect data security incidents, protecting against fraudulent or illegal activity, creation of datasets of aggregate consumer information and deidentified information appointing subprocessors, and any other business purpose or operational purpose permissible under the CCPA of a service provider that does not cause Parcy to lose its service provider status.

(d)  that if it is legally required to process Client Personal Data otherwise than as instructed by Client, it shall notify Client before such processing occurs, unless the law requiring such processing prohibits Parcy from notifying Client on an important ground of public interest, in which case it shall notify Client as soon as that law permits it to do so.

(e)  that it has implemented and will maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Client Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. Having regard to the state of the art and cost of their implementation, the Parcy agrees that such measures shall ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks represented by the processing and the nature of Client Personal Data to be protected.

(f)  to take reasonable steps to ensure that its personnel who have access to the Client Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.

(g)  that it will, as required by applicable law, notify Client about: (i) any instruction which, in its opinion, infringes applicable law; and (ii) any actual, confirmed security breach, unauthorized access, misappropriation, loss, damage or other compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of Client Personal Data processed by Parcy or a Subprocessor (“Security Breach”).

(h)  that within a reasonable time following discovery of any Security Breach, it shall: (i) take reasonable steps to mitigate the harm to Data Subjects and prevent any further Security Breach; and (ii) provide Client with cooperation and assistance in relation to any notifications that Client is required to make as a result of the Security Breach.

(i)  to assist Client in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to Parcy.

(j)  to inform a Data Subject making a request that it should submit the request directly to Client.

(k)  to assist Client in complying with a request from a Data Subject by providing functionality through the Services for Client to fulfil the request itself.

(l)  to make available to Client all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in Article 28 of the GDPR and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by Client or another auditor mandated by Client, upon terms mutually agreeable to the parties.

Alternatively, upon written request of Client, Parcy will securely destroy all Client Personal Data for Client. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parcy may prevent Client’s deletion of, or decline to return or destroy any Client Personal Data, if applicable law prevents Parcy or Subprocessor from doing so.

  1. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Any transfer of personal data made pursuant to this DPA from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom to any countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of the laws and regulations of these countries shall, to the extent such transfer is subject to such laws and regulations, be undertaken by Parcy in accordance with the Swiss-U.S. and EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Principles issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, both available at https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

  1. Miscellaneous

8.1  The limitations and exclusions of liability set forth in the Services Agreement shall apply to this DPA.

8.2  In the event of inconsistencies between the provisions of this DPA and other agreements between the parties, the provisions of this DPA shall prevail.  In cases of doubt, this DPA shall prevail, in particular, where it cannot be clearly established whether a clause relates to a party’s data protection obligations.

8.3  Should any provision or condition of this DPA be held or declared invalid, unlawful or unenforceable by a competent authority or court, then the remainder of this DPA shall remain valid.  Such an invalidity, unlawfulness, or unenforceability shall have no effect on the other provisions and conditions of this DPA to the maximum extent permitted by law.  The provision or condition affected shall be construed either: (a) to be amended in such a way that ensures its validity, lawfulness, and enforceability while preserving the Parties’ intentions, or if that is not possible, (ii) as if the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable part had never been contained in this DPA.
