Data Processing Terms

These Data Processing Terms form part of the Terms between Sine and you and apply when we process Personal Data on your behalf in the course of providing the Services. These Data Processing Terms do not apply where we are the Controller. Defined and/or capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given them in the Terms. If not defined in the Terms, capitalized terms have the meaning given them, or an equivalent term, in applicable data protection, privacy or security laws (“Privacy Laws”).These Data Processing Terms take precedence over any other terms of the Terms in relation to the Processing of Personal Data.

  1. Processing.  With respect to the Processing of Personal Data, you act as a Controller, “business”, or Processor and Sine is a Processor or “service provider”. We will only Process Personal Data as permitted under the Terms and applicable Privacy Laws. We will not “sell” Personal Data. You agree that the Terms represents your complete instructions to us and any additional changes you require must be mutually agreed. We will inform you if we believe that any of your instructions violate law, unless prohibited on important grounds of public interest. Details regarding the Processing of Personal Data are specified in Annex 1. You are solely responsible for complying with Privacy Laws regarding the Processing of Personal Data (including obtaining consents) and warrant that you comply with the same. You shall indemnify us, our Affiliates, subcontractors, and licensors from all third-party claims or losses arising from the Processing of Personal Data in accordance with the Terms.
  • Subprocessors.  You authorize us to use other Processors, including Sine affiliates and service providers, (“Subprocesors”) in any jurisdiction to Process Personal Data, so long as they are required to abide by terms substantially similar to these Data Processing Terms. We will be liable to you for the performance of our Subprocessor’s obligations under the Terms. On written request, we will provide you with a list of Subprocessors and will notify you of any changes, giving you five business days to object after receipt of the notification. If you legitimately object to a Subprocessor on reasonable data protection grounds and we do not resolve the matter within one month following notification, we may terminate the Terms with respect to the Services impacted by the new Subprocessor, without penalty, upon written notice.
  • Security.  We will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data, as described in Annex 2 (“Security Measures”). We may update or modify the Security Measures, so long as the overall security level of the Services is maintained. You are solely responsible for determining whether the Security Measures meet your requirements. You agree that the level of security provided by the Security Measures is appropriate to the risk inherent in the Services. You are responsible for configuring the Services in a manner which enables you to comply with applicable Privacy Laws. We will ensure that only authorized personnel who are under written obligations of confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality may access Personal Data. The Services is not designed to Process Special Categories of Data (except with respect to facial recognition in connection with Face Check and limited health data, where available), cardholder data subject to the Payment Card Industry Security Standard (“PCI DSS”), protected health information under HIPAA, children’s Personal Data, or other Personal Data inappropriate for the nature of the Services (collectively, “Prohibited Data”). You shall not submit Prohibited Data to us or to the Services, unless authorized to do so in writing by Sine.
  • Security Incident. We will notify you without undue delay after becoming aware of a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration or unauthorized access, disclosure or use of Personal Data while processed by us (each a “Security Incident”) in relation to the Services under the Terms. We will investigate the Security Incident and provide you with relevant information about the Security Incident as required under Privacy Laws.  We will use reasonable efforts to assist you in mitigating, where possible, the adverse effects of any Security Incident.
  • Compliance. On written request and subject to obligations of confidentiality, we will provide to you information reasonably necessary, including relevant certifications, to demonstrate our compliance with these Data Processing Terms. Where required by applicable Privacy Laws, you (or an independent auditor mandated by you) may audit our compliance with such obligations once per year at the applicable facility ("Audits"). Audits will only be performed following your written request at least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed start date and you providing a reasonably detailed audit plan describing the proposed scope, start date and duration. Before the Audit, the Parties will agree on a final Audit plan. Audits will be conducted during Sine's regular business hours, subject to the published policies of the audited facility, and may not unreasonably interfere with business activities. The personnel conducting the Audit on your behalf or an independent auditor mandated by you must enter into an appropriate written confidentiality agreement acceptable to us prior to conducting the Audit and will be accompanied by at least one member of our staff at all times. To preserve the security of the Sine organization and our customers, we reserve the right to not share information that could expose or compromise its security, privacy, employment policies or obligations to other customers or third parties or share confidential information. Records may not be copied or removed from our facilities. You will generate and provide us with an audit report within three months after the Audit. All information obtained or generated in connection with an Audit, including audit reports, must be kept strictly confidential and may only be used for the purposes of confirming our compliance with its obligations under these Data Processing Terms. Customer will pay or reimburse our reasonable costs for allowing for and contributing to Audits. With respect to Subprocessors, we may fulfil our responsibilities under this Section 5 by providing you with audit reports or certifications provided by such Subprocessors.
  • Data Transfers. You authorize us and our Subprocessors to transfer Personal Data to locations outside of its country of origin for the performance of the Terms, provided that we implement appropriate transfer safeguards to comply with applicable Privacy Laws. If we transfer Personal Data from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), UK, Switzerland or from any other jurisdiction that restricts the cross-border transfer of Personal Data to locations outside that jurisdiction, you shall be bound by the Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 including the provisions in Modules 2 and 3, as applicable, (“SCCs”) in the capacity of “data exporter”, and Sine in the capacity of “data importer” as those terms are defined therein. The SCCs will be deemed to have been signed by each Party and are hereby incorporated by reference into the Terms in their entirety as if set out in full as an annex to these Terms. The Parties acknowledge that the information required to be provided in the appendices to the SCCs is set out in Annex 1 below as a “Description of the Transfer” and “Security Measures” as a “Description of the Technical Organizational Measures” in Annex 2. Audits under Section 8.9 of the SCCs shall be carried out in accordance with the above Section 5. The SCCs will prevail over these Data Processing Terms or the Terms, in the event of conflict.
  • Cooperation. We will cooperate with you to respond to requests, complaints or inquiries from data subjects, supervisory authorities, or other third parties, conduct a privacy impact assessment and prior consultation with supervisory authorities, provided that you reimburse us for all reasonably incurred costs. If we receive a data subject request relating to Personal Data, we will provide it to you. We will not respond to the data subject request unless required by applicable law.
  • Termination. Upon termination of the Terms, we will return, delete or anonymize Personal Data except to the extent (i) we are required by applicable law to retain Personal Data or (ii) for compliance, audit or security purposes, in which case these Data Processing Terms will continue to apply to the retained Personal Data. Any certification of deletion will be provided to you only upon your written request.
