- References to the “Union”, “EU” and “EU Member State” shall not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude Data Subjects in Switzerland from the possibility of exercising their rights in their place of habitual residence (Switzerland) in accordance with Clause 18(c) of the EU SCCs;
- Where Swiss Transfers are exclusively subject to the FADP, all references to the GDPR in the EU SCCs are to be understood to be references to the FADP;
- Where Swiss Transfers are subject to both the FDPA and the GDPR, all references to the GDPR in the EU SCCs are to be understood to be references to the FDPA insofar as the Swiss Transfer is subject to the FADP.
PART 4 – Additional Safeguards
- In the event of an EEA Transfer, a UK Transfer or a Swiss Transfer, the Parties agree to supplement these with the following safeguards and representations, where appropriate:
- The Processor shall have in place and maintain in accordance with good industry practice measures to protect the Personal Data from interception (including in transit from the Controller to the Processor and between different systems and services). This includes having in place and maintaining network protection intended to deny attackers the ability to intercept data and encryption of Personal Data whilst in transit and at rest intended to deny attackers the ability to read data.
- The Processor will make commercially reasonable efforts to resist, subject to applicable laws, any request for bulk surveillance relating to the Personal Data protected under GDPR or the UK GDPR, including under section 702 of the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (“FISA”);
- If the Processor becomes aware that any government authority (including law enforcement) wishes to obtain access to or a copy of some or all of the Personal Data, whether on a voluntary or a mandatory basis, then unless legally prohibited or under a mandatory legal compulsion that requires otherwise:
- The Processor shall inform the relevant government authority that the Processor is a processor of the Personal Data and that the Controller has not authorized the Processor to disclose the Personal Data to the government authority, and inform the relevant government authority that any and all requests or demands for access to the Personal Data should therefore be notified to or served upon the Controller in writing;
- The Processor will use commercially reasonable legal mechanisms to challenge any such demand for access to Personal Data that is under the Processor’s control. Notwithstanding the above, (a) the Controller acknowledges that such challenge may not always be reasonable or possible in light of the nature, scope, context and purposes of the intended government authority access, and (b) if, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the intended government authority access to Personal Data, the Processor has a reasonable and good-faith belief that urgent access is necessary to prevent an imminent risk of serious harm to any individual or entity, this subsection (c)(II) shall not apply. In such event, the Processor shall notify the Controller, as soon as possible, following the access by the government authority, and provide the Controller with relevant details of the same, unless and to the extent legally prohibited to do so.
- Once in every 12-month period, the Processor will inform the Controller, at the Controller’s written request, of the types of binding legal demands for Personal Data it has received and solely to the extent such demands have been received, including national security orders and directives, which shall encompass any process issued under section 702 of FISA.
SCHEDULE 3 – CCPA TERMS
- SCOPE, APPLICATION & INTERPRETATION
- This Schedule 3 shall apply and bind the Parties if and to the extent that (i) Client is a Business under the CCPA, and (ii) Atera Processes Personal Information (as defined below) that is subject to the CCPA in the course of providing the Services to Client pursuant to the Agreement.
- This Schedule 3 prevails over any conflicting terms of the Agreement or the DPA but does not otherwise modify the Agreement or the DPA.
- This Schedule 3 shall be interpreted in favor of the Parties’ intent to comply with the CCPA, and therefore any ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that complies and is consistent with the CCPA.
- Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the DPA, as amended by this Schedule 3.
- DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this Schedule 3:
- The terms “Business”, “Collects” (and “collected” and “collection”), “Consumer”, “Business Purpose”, “Sell” (and “selling”, “sale”, and “sold”), “Share” (and “shared”, or “sharing”), and “Service Provider” shall each have the same meaning as in the CCPA.
- “Personal Information” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to or with an identified or identifiable Consumer or household of a Consumer, which is processed by Atera solely on behalf of Client under this Schedule 3 and the Agreement.
- PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
- Client hereby appoints Atera as a Service Provider to Process Personal Information on behalf of Client. Client, in its use of the Services, and Client’s instructions to Atera, shall comply with the CCPA. Client represents and warrants that it has provided notice consistent with Section 1798.135 of the CCPA, and has obtained consents to the extent required under the CCPA for Atera to lawfully Collect and Process the Personal Information in pursuit of the Permitted Purposes (as defined in Section 3.2 below).
- Atera shall Process Personal Information solely for the purposes set forth in Section 2.3 of the DPA and as necessary to comply with this Schedule 3 and the CCPA. For the avoidance of doubt, such Processing shall include the pursuit of Business Purposes, including providing Client with Atera’s cloud-based IT management platform (collectively: the “Permitted Purposes“).
- Sections 3-8 and 10-15 of the DPA shall apply to the Processing of Personal Information and the following terms shall be replaced as follows: “Data Protection Laws” shall mean the CCPA; “DPA” shall mean this Schedule 3; “Personal Data” shall mean “Personal Information”; “Data Subject” shall mean “Consumer”; “Controller” shall mean “Business”; “Processor” shall mean “Service Provider”; and Sub-processor shall refer to the concept of a Service Provider engaged by Atera to Process Personal Information.
- Atera shall Process Personal Information in accordance with the provisions of the CCPA, and in a manner that provides the same level of privacy protection to Personal Information as required by the CCPA. Atera certifies that it understands the rules, requirements, and definitions of the CCPA and this Schedule 3, and shall comply with them.
- Atera acknowledges and confirms that it does not receive or process any Personal Information as consideration for any services or other items that Atera provides to Client under the Agreement. Atera agrees to refrain from Selling and/or Sharing any Personal Information Processed hereunder without Client’s prior written consent, nor taking any action that would cause any transfer of Personal Information to or from Atera under the Agreement or this Schedule 3 to qualify as Selling and/or Sharing such Personal Information. Atera shall not have, derive, or exercise any rights or benefits regarding the Personal Information, and shall not retain, use, or disclose any Personal Information (i) for any purpose other than the Permitted Purposes, and/or (ii) outside of the direct business relationship between the Parties.
- Atera shall not combine Personal Information with any other data if and to the extent that this would be inconsistent with the limitations on Service Providers under the CCPA.
- Atera shall notify Client if Atera makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligations under this Schedule 3 and/or the CCPA.
