4.9. Storage. Data that SysAid Processes for You will be stored as locally as possible and will otherwise process data in accordance with SysAid’s Privacy Policy; to learn where Your data is stored, see here.

  1. Cross Border Data Transfers

5.1. Personal Data may be transferred from the EU Member States, the three EEA member countries (Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) (collectively, “EEA”), the United Kingdom to countries that offer adequate level of data protection under or pursuant to the adequacy decisions published by the relevant data protection authorities of the EEA, the Union, the Member States or the European Commission, the UK supervisory authority (“Adequacy Decisions”), without any further safeguard being necessary.

5.2. To the extent that there is Processing of Personal Data which includes transfers from the EEA, the UK to countries which do not offer adequate level of data protection or which have not been subject to an Adequacy Decision (“Other Countries”), the below terms shall apply:

a) With respect to the EU transfers of Personal Data, You as a Data Exporter (as defined in the SCCs) and SysAid as a Data Importer (as defined in the SCCs) hereby enter into the SCC set out in Exhibit B. To the extent that there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the SCC and the terms of this DPA, the terms of the SCCs shall take precedence.

b) With respect to the UK transfers of Personal Data (from the UK to other countries which have not been subject to a relevant Adequacy Decision), You as a Data Exporter (as defined in the UK SCCs) and SysAid as a Data Importer (as defined in the UK SCCs), hereby enter into the UK SCC set out in Exhibit B. To the extent that there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the UK SCC and the terms of this DPA, the terms of the UK SCC shall take precedence

6. Customer’s Processing Instructions. This DPA and the Agreement are Your complete and final instructions at the time of signature of the Agreement to SysAid for the Processing of Personal Data. Any additional or alternate instructions must be agreed upon separately and in writing. For the purposes of Clause 5(a) of the Standard Contractual Clauses, the following is deemed an instruction by the Customer to process Personal Data: (a) Processing in accordance with the Agreement and applicable Order Form(s); (b) Processing initiated by Users in  their use of the Service and (c) Processing to comply with other reasonable instructions provided by Customer (e.g., via email) where such instructions are consistent with the terms of the Agreement.

7. Changes in Data Protection Laws. If any variation is required to this Addendum as a result of a change in Data Protection Law, either Party may provide written notice to the other party of that change in law. The Parties will discuss and negotiate in good faith any necessary variations to this Addendum to address such changes. SysAid shall notify You after it determines that it can no longer meet its obligations under applicable laws, in which case, You may terminate exclusively the portions of the Services that are not in compliance with applicable laws.

8. Sub-Processors

8.1 You acknowledge and agree and hereby grant a general authorization for SysAid to engage subcontractors to process Your Personal Data on Your behalf (“Sub-Processors”) in order to provide the Services under a written contract or other legal act under applicable law. SysAid will restrict Sub-Processors’ access to Your Data, unless and to the extent such is necessary to enable or assist SysAid in providing or maintaining the Services. In the event a Sub-Processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations in connection with the Processing of Your Personal Data under this DPA, SysAid remains liable to You for said Sub-processor’s data protection obligations under this DPA, in accordance with the underlying Agreement’s liability section.

8.2. SysAid performs due diligence on Sub-Processors’ information security standards and data protection compliance. Prior to engaging with a Sub-Processor, SysAid ensures that the Sub-Processor commits to a written obligation regarding their security standards and controls and processes relating to Personal Data protection, including, where applicable safeguards implemented govern international data transfers.

8.3. SysAid’s current Sub-processor list is in Exhibit A and it is hereby approved by You. If You want to be notified before the appointment of new Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Services, You shall send an email to SysAid’s customer support team with the subject SUBSCRIPTION TO SUB-PROCESSOR NOTIFICATION. 

8.4 You may reasonably object to SysAid’s use of a Sub-processor for reasons related to the GDPR or UK GDPR (as can be demonstrated by Customer) by notifying SysAid promptly in writing within three (3) business days after receipt of SysAid’s notice in accordance with the mechanism set out in Section 8.3. Failure to object to such Sub-processor in writing within three (3) business days following SysAid’s notice shall be deemed as acceptance of the Sub-Processor. In the event Customer reasonably objects to a Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, SysAid will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Customer. If SysAid is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, Customer may, as a sole remedy, terminate the applicable Agreement and this DPA with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by SysAid without the use of the objected-to Sub-processor by providing written notice to SysAid provided that all amounts due under the Agreement before the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to SysAid. 

8.5 This Section ‎8 does not refer and shall not apply to subcontractors of SysAid which provide ancillary services to support the performance of the DPA. This includes, for example, telecommunication services, maintenance and user service, cleaning staff, or auditors.

  1. Data Subject Rights. Data Controller shall be solely responsible for compliance with any obligations concerning Data Subject requests and rights under Data Protection Laws, such as access to, rectification or deletion of Customer Personal Data. Considering the nature of the Processing, SysAid shall endeavor to assist You insofar as practicable, to comply with Your said obligations with respect to such Data Subject requests at Your sole expense. SysAid shall, to the extent legally permitted,  (i) promptly notify You if it receives a request from a Data Subject under any Data Protection Law with respect to any Customer Personal Data; and (ii) forward such data subject request to You; and (iii) shall not respond to any request except pursuant to Your documented instructions or as required by applicable law to which the Processor is subject, in which case SysAid shall, to the extent permitted by law, inform You of that legal requirement before it responds to the request.
  2. Personal Data Breach

10.1 SysAid will maintain security incident management policies and procedures and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, immediately commence all reasonable efforts to investigate and solve the causes the remediate the breach, and will notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer’s Personal Data, including Customer’s Personal Data, transmitted, stored or otherwise Processed by SysAid  or a SysAid Sub-Processor of which SysAid becomes aware (“Personal Data Breach“). SysAid’s notice will at least: (a) describe the nature of the Personal Data Breach including where possible, the categories and approximate number of Data Subjects concerned and the categories and approximate number of Personal Data records concerned; (b) communicate the name and contact details of a designated officer on SysAid’s data protection team, which will be available to provide any additionally available information about the Personal Data Breach; (c) describe the likely consequences of the Personal Data Breach; (d) describe the measures taken or proposed to be taken by SysAid to address the Personal Data Breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. Where, and in so far as, it is not possible to provide the information at the same time, the information may be provided in phases without undue further delay. Upon Your request, remediation actions and reasonable assurance of resolution of discovered issues shall be provided to Controller, to the extent the remediation is within SysAid’s reasonable control. Customer will be the party responsible for notifying supervisory authorities and/or concerned data subjects (where required by Data Protection Laws and Regulations).

  1. Data Protection Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation. If, pursuant to Data Protection Law, You are required to perform a data protection impact assessment or prior consultation with a regulator, at Your request, SysAid will provide such documents as are generally available for the Services (for example Certifications). Any additional assistance shall be mutually agreed between the parties and SysAid has the right to charge You for any reasonable costs for such assistance.
  2. Security and Audit

12.1 Taking into account the state of the art, 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, SysAid shall implement and maintain industry-standard and otherwise appropriate technical and organizational measures pursuant to Article 32 of the GDPR to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk presented by the Services. Upon the Customer’s request, SysAid will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Customer, at Customer’s cost, in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR taking into account the nature of the processing, the state of the art, and the information available to SysAid. Both Parties acknowledge that security measures are subject to progress and change in response to the current situation and that SysAid may alter the security measures from time to time, provided that such modifications do not degrade or diminish the overall level of security appropriate to the risk presented by the Services. SysAid shall ensure that SysAid’s access to Personal Data be limited to those requiring such access to substantially perform its obligations under this Agreement. A description of SysAid’s Data Security Measures can be found here. Upon request at reasonable intervals and subject to confidentiality obligations, SysAid shall make available to You relevant information necessary, to the extent such is not available under the Agreement,  to demonstrate SysAid’s compliance under this Section, provided that such information only be used to assess our compliance hereto and shall not be disclosed to any third party without SysAid’s prior written approval. At Customer’s cost and expense, SysAid shall allow for and may contribute to audits, in no event more than once a year, with prior notification of at least 20 business days, including inspections, conducted by  You or another auditor mandated by You (so long as such auditor is not a direct or indirect competitor of SysAid),  without prejudice to SysAid’s right to charge You for any reasonable costs for such assistance, provided that the Parties shall agree on the scope, methodology and timing of such audits and inspections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such audits and/or inspections shall not contain any information, including without limitation, Personal Data that does not belong to You.

11.2 Nothing in this DPA will require SysAid either to disclose to Customer (and/or its authorized auditors), or provide access to: (i) any data of any other customer of SysAid; (ii) SysAid’s internal accounting or financial information; (iii) any trade secret of SysAid; or (iv) any information that, in SysAid’s sole reasonable discretion, could compromise the security of any of SysAid’s systems or premises or cause SysAid to breach obligations under any applicable law or its obligations to any third party.

  1. Limitation of Liability. Each party’s and all of its Affiliates’ liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA, and all DPAs between Authorized Affiliates of Customer and SysAid, 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 DPAs together. 
  2. Return or Deletion of Personal Data. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, SysAid shall (at Customer’s election) return or to the fullest extent technically feasible delete all Customer Data in its possession or control. This requirement shall not apply to the extent SysAid 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 (e.g., in the form of audit logs), which Customer Data SysAid shall securely isolate and protect from any further Processing, except to the extent required by applicable law. If the Customer requests the Personal Data to be returned, the Personal Data shall be returned in the format generally available for SysAid’s customers.
  3. Termination. SysAid shall, and shall procure that its Sub-Processors, subject to the requirements of any applicable Exit Plan, cease Processing Your Personal Data upon the termination of the Agreement or, if sooner, the Service to which it relates and, either return or delete the Personal Data and any copies of it or of the information it contains, without prejudice to any EU or Member State legal obligations for SysAid to store or archive such Personal Data. Sections 4.2, 9, 12, 13 and 16 shall survive the termination or expiration of this DPA for any reason. This DPA cannot, in principle, be terminated separately to the Agreement, except where the Processing ends before the termination of the Agreement, in which case, this DPA shall automatically terminate.
  4. CCPA. To the extent that the Personal Data is subject to the CCPA, SysAid shall not sell or share Customer’s Personal Data. SysAid acknowledges that when processing Personal Data in the context of the provision of the Services, Customer is not selling or sharing Personal Data to SysAid. SysAid agrees not to retain, use or disclose Customer Personal Data: (i) for any purpose other than the Business Purpose (as defined below); (ii) for no other commercial or Business Purpose; or (iii) outside the direct business relationship between SysAid and Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SysAid may use, disclose, or retain Customer Personal Data to: (i) transfer the Personal Data to other SysAid’s entities (including, without limitation, affiliates and subsidiaries), service providers, third parties and vendors, in order to provide the Services to Customer; (ii) to comply with, or as allowed by, applicable laws; (iii) to defend legal claims or comply with a law enforcement investigation; (ii) for internal use by SysAid to build or improve the quality of its services and/or for any other purpose permitted under the CCPA; (iii) to detect data security incidents, or protect against fraudulent or illegal activity; and (iv) collect and analyse anonymous information. SysAid shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with its obligations under CCPA. If SysAid becomes aware of any material applicable requirement (to SysAid as a service provider) under CCPA that SysAid cannot comply with, SysAid shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer. Upon written Customer’s notice, SysAid shall use commercial reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate SysAid alleged unauthorized use of Personal Data; provided that Customer must explain and demonstrate in the written notice which processing activity of Personal Data it considers to be unauthorized and the applicable reasons. SysAid shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable Customer to comply with consumer requests made pursuant CCPA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer shall be fully and solely responsible for complying with its own requirements under CCPA. “Business purpose” means the Processing activities that SysAid will perform to provide Services (as described in the Agreement), this DPA and any other instruction from Customer, as otherwise permitted by applicable law, including, CCPA and the applicable regulations, or as otherwise necessary to provide the Services to Customer.
  5. Miscellaneous. This DPA may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by both Parties. This DPA may be executed in counterparts. Either Party may assign this DPA including its rights or obligations hereunder to any affiliate thereof, or to a successor or any affiliate thereof, in connection with a merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of its shares, assets or business relating to this DPA or the Agreement. Any SysAid obligation hereunder may be performed (in whole or in part), and any SysAid right (including invoice and payment rights) or remedy may be exercised (in whole or in part), by an affiliate of SysAid. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between certain provisions of this DPA and the provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of this DPA shall prevail over the conflicting provisions of the Agreement solely with respect to the Processing of Personal Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement and/or in any agreement between the parties and to the maximum extent permitted by law: (A) SysAid’s (including SysAid’s affiliates’) entire, total and aggregate liability, related to personal data or information, privacy, or for breach of, this DPA and/or Data Protection Laws and Regulations, including, without limitation, if any, any indemnification obligation or applicable law regarding data protection or privacy, shall be limited to the amounts paid to SysAid under the Agreement within twelve (12) months preceding the event that gave rise to the claim. This limitation of liability is cumulative and not per incident; (B) In no event will SysAid and/or SysAid affiliates and/or their third-party providers, be liable under, or otherwise in connection with this DPA for: (i) any indirect, exemplary, special, consequential, incidental or punitive damages; (ii) any loss of profits, business, or anticipated savings;  (iii) any loss of, or damage to data, reputation, revenue or goodwill; and/or (iv) the cost of procuring any substitute goods or services; and (C) The foregoing exclusions and limitations on liability set forth in this Section shall apply: (i) even if SysAid, SysAid affiliates or third-party providers, have been advised, or should have been aware, of the possibility of losses or damages; (ii) even if any remedy in this DPA fails of its essential purpose; and (iii) regardless of the form, theory or basis of liability (such as, but not limited to, breach of contract or tort). This DPA supersedes any prior DPA or similar terms between the Parties. The Parties to this DPA submit to the choice of jurisdiction and governing law stipulated to in the Agreement. This DPA shall only become legally binding between Customer and SysAid when the formalities steps set out in the Section “INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO EXECUTE THIS DPA” below have been fully completed.
  6. SIGNATURE. The Parties represent and warrant that they each have the power to enter into, execute, perform and be bound by this DPA. You, as the signing person on behalf of Customer, represent and warrant that you have, or you were granted, full authority to bind the Customer and, as applicable, its Authorized Affiliates to this DPA. If you cannot, or do not have authority to, bind the Customer and/or its Authorized Affiliates, you shall not supply or provide Personal Data to SysAid. By signing this DPA, Customer enters into this DPA on behalf of itself and, to the extent required or permitted under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, if and to the extent that SysAid processes Personal Data for which such Authorized Affiliates qualify as the/a “data controller”.
