a. The majority of Client Data that you will provide to us will not be ‘personal data’ as such term is defined in Data Protection Laws (meaning the Data Protection Act 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) or the UK GDPR as defined in section 205(4) of the Data Protection Act 2018).

b. However, because there is a possibility that some of the Client Data may include small items of personal data you acknowledge and agree that in respect of such Client Data you act either as a data controller in regard to the personal data of your own employees, agents and officers or as a data processor in regard to the data of your clients and that, as a result, we act as a data processor of the personal data of your employees, agents and officers and/or as a sub-data processor in relation to any such Client Data which is also personal data. All terms used in this provision have the meanings given to them in the Data Protection Laws.

c. You understand and accept that in providing our Services to you we will make use of the services of and transfer data from and to the third party operators of the Source Platform and Destination Platform with whom you will have your own data processing arrangements in place. They have not been appointed as third party processors by us, but are acting as your third party processors in relation to Client Personal Data. You confirm that you have entered or (as the case may be) will enter with these third-party processors into a written agreement substantially on that third party's standard terms of business incorporating terms which are substantially similar to those set out in this section on the use of personal data. As between you and us, you shall remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any third-party processor appointed by you pursuant to this provision.

d. Both you and we will comply with our applicable obligations under the Data Protection Laws.

e. You will ensure you have all necessary and appropriate consents and have issued all notices to enable the lawful transfer of Client Data to us for the duration and purposes of us providing you with the Services.

f. In relation to any Client Data to the extent that it is personal data ( Client Personal Data) that you provide to us we will:

i. only process that Client Personal Data to:

1. provide the Services;

2. process your payment for the Services; and

3. inform you about similar services that we provide, but you may stop receiving these at any time by contacting us;

ii. only process Client Personal Data on your written instructions unless we are required by law to process such Client Personal Data by any other applicable laws of England and Wales or EU member state which is applicable to our processing;

iii. ensure that we have in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of the Client Personal Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, the Client Personal Data;

iv. ensure that any personnel who have access to and/or process the Client Personal Data are obliged to keep the Client Personal Data confidential;

v. not transfer any of the Client Personal Data outside of the European Economic Area without first ensuring that we have appropriate safeguards and an adequate level of protection in place in relation to the transfer and that the data subject has enforceable rights and effective legal remedies;

vi. assist you, at your own cost, in responding to any request from a data subject and in ensuring compliance with your obligations under the applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators;

vii. notify you without undue delay on becoming aware of a personal data breach;

viii. at your written direction, delete or return the Client Personal Data and any copies of it to you on termination of the agreement unless required by applicable Data Protection Laws to store the Client Personal Data; and

ix. maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate our compliance with this section of our obligations.
