1. AGREEMENT

1.1. Application: This Data Processing Agreement applies to the extent that Personal Data which is subject to EU Data Protection Law is Processed in the course of the performance of the Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to such Processing of Personal Data, the customer is the Data Controller and VidApp is a Data Processor.
1.2. Authority: If the customer is using the Services on behalf of a business, the customer represents to VidApp that it has authority to bind that business or entity to this Data Processing Agreement and that the business accepts this Data Processing Agreement.
1.3. Personal Data: An overview of the categories of Personal Data, the types of Data Subjects, and purposes for which the Personal Data are being processed is provided in Annex 1.

 

2. DATA PROCESSING

2.1. Data Controller’s authority: The Data Controller will, in determining the Services purchased and the Personal Data used in relation to those Services, determine the scope, purposes, and manner by which the Personal Data may be accessed or processed by the Data Processor.
2.2. Restrictions on processing: The Data Processor will only process the Personal Data:
2.2.1. on documented instructions of the Data Controller. This Data Processing Agreement constitutes the initial instructions and each use of the Services then constitutes further instructions. The Data Processor will use reasonable efforts to follow any later Data Controller instructions, as long as they are required by Data Protection Law, technically feasible and do not require changes to the Services. If the Data Processor otherwise cannot comply with an instruction or is of the opinion that an instruction infringes Applicable Data Protection Law, the Data Processor will immediately notify the Data Controller; or
2.2.2. to comply with a legal obligation to which the Data Processor is subject. In such a case, the Data Processor shall inform the Data Controller of that legal obligation before processing, unless that law explicitly prohibits the furnishing of such information to the Data Controller.
2.3. Customer Agreement and discretion: The Parties have entered into a Customer Agreement in order to benefit from the expertise of the Data Processor in securing and processing the Personal Data for the purposes of the supply of the Services. The Data Processor may exercise its own discretion in the selection and use of such means as it considers necessary to pursue those purposes, subject to the requirements of this Data Processing Agreement.
2.4. Data Controller warranty: The Data Controller warrants that it has all necessary rights to provide the Personal Data to the Data Processor for the Processing to be performed in relation to the Services. To the extent required by the Applicable Data Protection Law, the Data Controller is responsible for ensuring that any necessary data subject consents to this Processing are obtained, and for ensuring that a record of such consents is maintained. If such consent is revoked by the data subject, the Data Controller is responsible for removing the relevant Personal Data from the Services.
2.5. Use of third party products: The Services may provide links or integrations or an API which may be used to facilitate integrations to or from Third Party Applications. If Customer elects to integrate with, enable, access or use an API to interact with such Third Party Applications it does so at its own risk and the Data Processor has no responsibility or liability for any Personal Data processed by or through such Third Party Applications. The Data Controller expressly acknowledges and agrees that all enabled Third Party Applications are expressly authorized by the Data Controller and the Data Processor is not a co-processor, subprocessor or controller with respect to any Personal Data processed by or on behalf of the Data Controller through a Third Party Application.

4.3. Changes to measures: The Data Processor may change the Technical and Organisational Measures at any time without notice so long as it maintains a comparable or better level of security. The Parties will negotiate in good faith the cost, if any, to implement changes required by specific updated security requirements in Applicable Data Protection Law or by data protection authorities of competent jurisdiction.
4.4. Login details: The Data Controller shall keep its login details confidential and secure and will not share them with others.
