Customer agrees that: (i) Customer has provided all necessary notice and choice, and secured all necessary rights, consents, privileges, and a lawful basis for the processing of Personal Data as contemplated under the Agreement (including by IDScan.net and its Subprocessors); (ii) Customer has complied (and will continue to comply) with all Data Protection Laws and applicable third party terms; (iii) Customer will not provide to IDScan.net or cause IDScan.net to process any sensitive category of Personal Data (such as data concerning health, finances, sex life or sexual orientation, children or teens, or other data defined as sensitive or a special category of data under Data Protection Law) unless expressly set out in Schedule 1 below; (iv) to the extent Customer uses the Services in a manner that involves the collection, use, storage, or other processing of biometric identifiers or biometric information (as defined under applicable law), Customer has provided all legally required notices and disclosures, obtained all required express or written consents, and complied with all applicable biometric privacy laws, including any applicable requirements relating to data retention and destruction; and (v) IDScan.net’s processing of Personal Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions will not violate or cause IDScan.net to violate any Data Protection Laws or applicable third party terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent permitted by Data Protection Law, IDScan.net may use and retain any deidentified or aggregate consumer information related to the Services for any purpose in accordance with Data Protection Law, including but not limited to developing analytics and improving the Services.

Section 3 : Security

IDScan.net shall implement and maintain security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the Personal Data designed to protect the Personal Data from a Security Incident. The minimum technical and organizational measures to be implemented by IDScan.net are set forth in Schedule 2. IDScan.net shall regularly monitor compliance with these measures, and shall not materially decrease the overall security of the Services with respect to Personal Data during its provision of the Services. IDScan.net shall ensure that persons authorized to carry out processing have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under the appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.

Section 4 : Security Incidents

IDScan.net shall notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of an accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data in possession or control of IDScan.net (a “Security Incident”). IDScan.net shall make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of such Security Incident and take steps as IDScan.net deems necessary and reasonable in order to remediate the cause of such Security Incident to the extent the remediation is within IDScan.net’s reasonable control and required by law.

Section 5 : Subprocessors

Customer provides general written authorization for IDScan.net to engage Subprocessors to process Personal Data in connection with the Services. A current list of IDScan.net’s Subprocessors is available in our Trust Center (the “Subprocessor List”). IDScan.net will enter into a written agreement with each Subprocessor containing data protection obligations no less protective than those in this DPA with respect to the protection of Personal Data. IDScan.net shall make available notice of any intended addition or replacement of a Subprocessor by updating the Subprocessor List.

IDScan.net will provide Customer with a reasonable opportunity to object to any new Subprocessor by providing written notice to IDScan.net within ten (10) days following the posting of the updated Subprocessor List. In the event Customer reasonably objects to the new Subprocessor, IDScan.net will use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services to avoid processing of Personal Data by the objected-to Subprocessor. If IDScan.net is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, Customer may terminate the applicable Services which cannot be provided by IDScan.net without the use of the objected-to new Subprocessor by providing written notice to IDScan.net. IDScan.net shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Subprocessors to the same extent IDScan.net would be liable if performing the services of each Subprocessor directly under the terms of this DPA.

Section 6 : Requests & Assistance

To the extent legally permitted, IDScan.net shall: (a) promptly notify Customer if IDScan.net receives a request from a Data Subject to exercise their rights under Data Protection Law or receives a request or complaint from a supervisory authority, regulator, or other third party (“Request”); and (b) not respond to the Request without written approval from Customer. Taking into account the nature of the processing, IDScan.net shall reasonably assist Customer in the fulfilment of Customer’s obligation to respond to the Request. Upon request by Customer, IDScan.net shall reasonably assist Customer as necessary to carry out data protection impact assessments related to Customer’s use of the Services, and in the cooperation or prior consultation with supervisory authorities or regulators in the performance of IDScan.net’s tasks relating to the data protection impact assessments. To the extent legally permitted, Customer shall be responsible for any costs arising from IDScan.net’s provision of assistance hereunder. Customer acknowledges that IDScan.net may not be able to fulfill Requests where doing so would interfere with IDScan.net’s ability to comply with applicable law or legal obligation, or protect its rights or those of a third party. Each party shall provide reasonable assistance to the other party as necessary for the other party to fulfill its obligations under Data Protection Law.

Section 7 : Return & Deletion

IDScan.net shall return or delete (at Customer’s discretion) all Personal Data when such Personal Data is no longer needed to perform the Services, or sixty (60) days following termination of the Agreement. IDScan.net may retain Personal Data where necessary for Customer to comply with applicable law or legal obligation, or protect its rights or those of a third party.

Section 8 : Audit

IDScan.net shall allow for and contribute to reasonable audits conducted by Customer or a third party auditor designated by Customer to ascertain IDScan.net’s compliance with this DPA to the extent required by Data Protection Law, provided that such audits shall be conducted upon request of Customer at reasonable intervals (no greater than once per year), be limited to any IDScan.net facilities where it processes Personal Data, require at least thirty (30) days prior notice, take place during normal business hours, and not require IDScan.net to provide access to systems or information relating to its other customers. Any third party auditor must be agreed upon by IDScan.net (not to be unreasonably withheld) and submit to a duty of confidentiality with respect to the audit. As an alternative to the foregoing at IDScan.net’s discretion, to the extent permitted by Data Protection Law, at least annually IDScan.net may arrange for a qualified and independent third party to conduct a comprehensive audit of IDScan.net’s policies and technical and organizational measures in support of its obligations under this DPA using an appropriate and accepted control standard or framework and audit procedure for such audits, and provide the results of such audit to Customer upon request of Customer. To the extent permitted by Data Protection Law, Customer is responsible for and shall reimburse IDScan.net for any expenses associated with this Section 8. Any information associated with this audit right shall be IDScan.net’s confidential information and subject to obligations of confidentiality. The parties agree that, to the extent permitted by Data Protection Law, any audits described in the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be carried out in accordance with this Section 8.
