This GDPR Attachment applies only where the Customer is a UK or EEA entity.

To the extent such Processing of Personal Data is an integral part of ITagree’s Service and is done under explicit instructions of the Customer, the Customer will be a ‘Controller’ and ITagree will be a ‘Processor’ – as defined in and as used for the purposes of the GDPR. As such, Article 28(3) and 28(4) of the GDPR requires that the details in this attachment are included in the contract between the Customer and ITagree, including the subject matter and duration of the Processing, the nature and purpose of the Processing, the type of Personal Data and categories of data subjects (see Appendix 1).

To the extent such Processing of Personal Data is not an integral part of ITagree’s Service, or the Processing is done for any internal business requirements of ITagree, ITagree will be a ‘Controller’ for the purposes of the GDPR. In all such circumstances, ITagree will comply with Articles 24-26 of the GDPR which sets out the role and responsibility of a Controller.

The terms used in this attachment have the meanings given to them in the main definition section of the ITagree Terms and Conditions or in clause 13 of this attachment, or in the GDPR if not defined in the ITagree Terms and Conditions or in this attachment.

1 Processing of Personal Data

1.1 ITagree will:

(a) Instructions from Customer: in providing Services, Process Personal Data only on the Customer’s documented instructions (as provided in clause 2 and in appendix 1 to this attachment or otherwise in writing) unless required to do so by the Data Protection Laws in which case ITagree will inform the Customer of that legal requirement before Processing unless ITagree is prohibited from informing the Customer by that law;

(b) Confidentiality: ensure that ITagree’s personnel who are authorised to Process the Personal Data have obligations of confidentiality to ITagree (including as required in clause 3 below) in respect of the Personal Data or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality;

(c) Security: comply with the security obligations in clause 4 below;

ITagree will immediately inform the Customer if, in its opinion, an instruction received from the Customer in relation to an audit under this clause 1.1(h) infringes the Data Protection Laws.

2 Instructions from Customer

2.1 The Customer instructs ITagree (and authorises ITagree to instruct each Subprocessor) to:

(a) Process Personal Data; and

as reasonably necessary for the provision of the Services and consistent with the relevant ITagree Plan and in compliance with the ITagree Terms and Conditions.

4 Security

4.1 Subject to clause 4.2 below, ITagree will implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including amongst other things as appropriate:

(a) the pseudonymisation and encryption of Personal Data;

(b) the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services;

(c) the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident;

(d) a process for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of the Processing.

(a) acknowledges that ITagree uses third party applications and that the vendors of those applications are Subprocessors;

(b) authorises the use by ITagree of Subprocessors as described in clause 5.2(a) above as required for the provision of the Services; and

(c) accepts that, without limiting ITagree’s obligation to have agreements in place with each Subprocessor which meet the requirements under the GDPR (including for Restricted Transfers where relevant), the authorisation given by the Customer in clause 5.2(b) above constitutes prior written consent to the use by ITagree of the relevant Subprocessors.

5.3 With respect to each Subprocessor, ITagree will:

(a) enter into an agreement with the Subprocessor which includes the same data protection obligations as set out in this attachment (and Appendix 1) and in particular includes sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR. If the Subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, ITagree will remain fully liable to the Customer for the performance of that Subprocessor’s obligations;

(b) if the Processing by the Subprocessor will involve a Restricted Transfer, ensure that the IDTA is at all relevant times incorporated into the agreement between ITagree and the Subprocessor; and

5.4 Appendix 1 to this attachment sets out certain information regarding ITagree’s Processing of Personal Data, as required by article 28(3) of the GDPR.

(a) ITagree will notify the Customer without undue delay if ITagree or any Subprocessor becomes aware of a Personal Data Breach, providing the Customer with sufficient information to allow the Customer to meet any obligations to report the Personal Data Breach to the relevant Supervisory Authority under the Data Protection Laws (noting that the Customer is required, where feasible, to notify applicable Personal Data breaches to the relevant Supervisory Authority within 72 hours after having become aware of the breach).

(a) Where a Personal Data Breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons:

i. such that the Customer is required to communicate the Personal Data Breach to the Data Subject (including where, despite the conditions referenced in clause 7.3(a)(ii) below being met, the Supervisory Authority has required the Customer to communicate the Personal Data Breach to the Data Subject), ITagree will assist the Customer in doing so by providing all relevant information as may be reasonably required by the Customer;

ii. but despite that high risk, the Customer is not required to communicate the Personal Data Breach to the Data Subject due to certain conditions being met (such as that the Personal Data is encrypted and so unintelligible to any person not authorised to access it), ITagree will assist the Customer by providing all relevant information as may be reasonably required by the Customer.

9.1 Subject to clauses 9.2 to 9.4, ITagree will make available to the Customer on request all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this attachment, and will allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, by the Customer or an auditor mandated by the Customer in relation to the Processing of Personal Data by ITagree.

9.2 Information and audit rights of the Customer only arise under clause 9.1 to the extent that the ITagree Terms and Conditions do not otherwise give them information and audit rights meeting the relevant requirements of Data Protection Laws (including, where applicable, article 28(3)(h) of the GDPR).

9.3 ITagree may, on reasonable grounds, object to the proposed auditor in which case the Customer will propose an alternate auditor.

(a) The Customer will give ITagree reasonable notice of any audit or inspection to be conducted under clause 9.1 and will make (and ensure that its auditor makes) reasonable endeavours to avoid causing any damage, injury or disruption to ITagree's premises, equipment, personnel and business while its personnel are on those premises in the course of such an audit or inspection. ITagree need not give access to its premises for the purposes of such an audit or inspection for the purposes of more than one audit or inspection in any calendar year, except for any additional audits or inspections which:

i. the Customer reasonably considers necessary because of genuine concerns as to ITagree's compliance with this attachment; or

ii. the Customer is required or requested to carry out by Data Protection Law, a Supervisory Authority or any similar regulatory authority responsible for the enforcement of Data Protection Laws in any country or territory, where the Customer has identified its concerns or the relevant requirement or request in its notice to ITagree of the audit or inspection.

10 Restricted Transfers

10.1 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) given that ITagree is a New Zealand registered company, the Services involve a ‘Restricted Transfer’ as between the Customer and ITagree, with the Customer (as "data exporter") and ITagree (as "data importer");

(b) there is no requirement for ITagree and Customer to agree to an International Data Transfer Agreement (or to include the IDTA in these terms and conditions) given that New Zealand is an Approved Jurisdiction.

11 Order of precedence

11.1 Nothing in this attachment reduces ITagree's obligations under the ITagree Terms and Conditions in relation to the protection of Personal Data or permits ITagree to Process (or permit the Processing of) Personal Data in a manner which is prohibited by the ITagree Terms and Conditions.

11.2 Subject to clause 11.1, in the event of inconsistencies between the provisions of this attachment and the other parts of the ITagree Terms and Conditions, the provisions of this attachment will prevail.

12 Changes in Data Protection Laws

12.1 The Customer may by at least 30 calendar days' written notice to ITagree propose any other variations to this attachment which the Customer reasonably considers to be necessary to address the requirements of any data protection law.

12.2 If the Customer gives notice under clause 12.1(a):

(a) ITagree will promptly co-operate (and require affected Subprocessors to promptly co-operate) to ensure that equivalent variations are made to the agreements made under clause 5.3; and

(b) the Customer will not unreasonably withhold or delay agreement to any consequential variations to this attachment proposed by ITagree to protect ITagree against additional risks associated with the variations made under this clause 12.2.

12.3 If the Customer gives notice under clause 12.1(b), the parties will promptly discuss the proposed variations and negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing and implementing those or alternative variations designed to address the requirements identified in the Customer's notice as soon as is reasonably practicable.
