- (d) “Personal Data” as used in this Addendum means information that relates to, or could reasonably be linked with, to an identifiable or identified Data Subject who visits or engages in transactions through your Store(s) (each, an “End User”), which Swell processes as a Data Processor or Service Provider in the course of providing you with the SaaS Services;
- (e) “Data Subject Request” as used in this Addendum means a request for access, erasure, rectification, or portability of your End User’s Personal Data; and
- (f) All other capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have the same definition as in the Agreement.
2. DATA PROTECTION
- (a) Where a Data Subject is located in the European Economic Area, such Data Subject’s Personal Data will be processed by Swell in the United States of America and may be transferred to other regions. Such transfers will be completed in compliance with the applicable Data Protection Legislation.
- (b) You understand and agree that you are acting as a Data Controller with respect to all Personal Data you input or upload to the Swell Platform in the course of using the SaaS Services and will observe all applicable Data Protection Legislation with respect to your collection and use of Personal Data.
- (c) When Swell processes Personal Data in the course of providing the SaaS Services, Swell will:
- process the Personal Data as a Data Processor or Sub-Processor and/or Service Provider, only for the purpose of providing the SaaS Services in 1 accordance with documented instructions from you (provided that such instructions are commensurate with the functionalities of the SaaS Services), and as may subsequently be agreed to by you. If Swell is required by applicable law to process the Personal Data for any other purpose, Swell will provide you with prior notice of this requirement,
- notify you if, in Swell’s opinion, your instruction for the processing of Personal Data infringes applicable Data Protection Legislation;
- notify you promptly, to the extent permitted by law, upon receiving an inquiry or complaint from a Supervisory Authority relating to Swell’s processing of the Personal Data;
- implement reasonable technical and organizational measures enabling you to execute Data Subject Requests that you are obligated to fulfill;
- implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, theft, alteration or disclosure. These measures shall be appropriate to the harm which might result from any unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, damage or theft of Personal Data and appropriate to the nature of the Personal Data which is to be protected;
- notify you without undue delay upon becoming aware of and confirming any accidental, unauthorized, or unlawful processing of, disclosure of, or access to the Personal Data;
- ensure that Swell’s personnel who access the Personal Data are subject to confidentiality duties or obligations that restrict their ability to disclose the End User’s Personal Data; and
- upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, Swell will promptly initiate its purge process to delete or anonymize the Personal Data in its possession and control. If you request a copy of such Personal Data within 30 days of termination, Swell will provide you with a copy of such Personal Data.
- (d) With respect to the SaaS Services, you acknowledge and agree that Swell may use sub-processors to process the Personal Data. Swell’s use of any specific sub-processor to process the Personal Data will be in compliance with the applicable Data Protection Legislation and must be governed by a contract between Swell and sub-processor that requires comparable protections to this Data Processing Addendum. A current list of sub-processors (other than general infrastructure providers, such as vendors and lessors of computer hardware, software, servers, networks and hosting and internet access services – which will not be deemed sub-processors for the purposes of this Data Processing Addendum) may be found below. If you object to the appointment of any sub-processor, you may terminate the Agreement by giving us a 30-day advance written notice specifying the nature of your objection and the name of the sub-processor.
