SECTION I
Clause 1
Purpose and scope
- The purpose of this Revised Addendum is to ensure compliance with Article 28(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR).
- The controllers and processors listed in Annex I have agreed to the Revised Addendum in order to ensure compliance with Article 28(3) and (4) of the GDPR.
- The Revised Addendum applies to the processing of personal data as specified in Annex II.
- Annexes I to IV are an integral part of the Revised Addendum.
- The Revised Addendum is without prejudice to obligations to which the controller is subject by virtue of the GDPR.

Clause 2
Invariability
- The Parties undertake not to modify the Revised Addendum, except for adding information to the Annexes or updating information in them.
- This does not prevent the Parties from including the standard contractual clauses laid down in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021in a broader contract or from adding other provisions or additional safeguards provided that they do not directly or indirectly contradict the Revised Addendum or detract from the fundamental rights or freedoms of data subjects.
Clause 3
Interpretation
- Where the Revised Addendum uses the terms defined in the GDPR, those terms shall have the same meaning as in the GDPR. The term “European Laws” means (a) the GDPR, and (b) any other European Union (EU) or Member State data protection laws, regulations and secondary legislation implementing the GDPR, including the Federal Data Protection Act of 19 June 1992 (Switzerland) and the United Kingdom (UK) Data Protection Act 2018 and any replacement legislation implemented by the UK pursuant to the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. Any other capitalized terms have the meaning given them in the T&C.
- The Revised Addendum shall be read and interpreted in the light of the provisions of the GDPR.
- The Revised Addendum shall not be interpreted in a way that runs counter to the rights and obligations provided for in the GDPR or in a way that prejudices the fundamental rights or freedoms of the data subjects.

Obligations of the Parties
6.1. Instructions
- The processor shall process personal data only on documented instructions from the controller, unless required to do so by EU or Member State law to which the processor is subject. In this case, the processor shall inform the controller of that legal requirement before processing, unless the law prohibits this on important grounds of public interest. Subsequent instructions may also be given by the controller throughout the duration of the processing of personal data. These instructions shall always be documented.
- The processor shall immediately inform the controller if, in the processor’s opinion, instructions given by the controller infringe the GDPR or the applicable EU or Member State data protection provisions.

6.3. Duration of the processing of personal data
Processing by the processor shall only take place for the duration specified in Annex II.
6.4. Security of processing
- The processor shall at least implement the technical and organizational measures specified in Annex III to ensure the security of the personal data. This includes protecting the data against a breach of security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access to the data (personal data breach). In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, and the risks involved for the data subjects.
- The processor shall grant access to the personal data undergoing processing to members of its personnel only to the extent strictly necessary for implementing, managing, and monitoring of the contract. The processor shall ensure that persons authorized to process the personal data received have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
6.5. Sensitive data
If the processing involves personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or a person’s sex life or sexual orientation, or data relating to criminal convictions and offenses (“sensitive data”), the processor shall apply specific restrictions and/or additional safeguards.

- At the controller’s request, the processor shall provide a copy of such a sub-processor agreement and any subsequent amendments to the controller. To the extent necessary to protect business secret or other confidential information, including personal data, the processor may redact the text of the agreement prior to sharing the copy.
- The processor shall remain fully responsible to the controller for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations in accordance with its contract with the processor. The processor shall notify the controller of any failure by the sub-processor to fulfill its contractual obligations.
