DATA PROTECTION

In this paragraph the followings words shall have the following meanings:

  • “Data Protection Legislation” shall mean any law, statute, regulation, rule or other binding restriction regarding the protection of individuals with regards to the processing of their personal data to which a party is subject, including the DPA, any other European Union legislation which apply to a party and any code of practice or guidance published by the Information Commissioner’s Office from time to time;
  • “DPA” shall mean the Data Protect Act 2018;
  • “process”, “personal data”, “data processor”, “data controller”, “data subject” shall have the terms given to them in the Data Protection Legislation.

If and to the extent that LockSub processes any personal data in connection with Jobs uploaded to the App, the parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, the Subcontractor and/or the Locksmith (as applicable) is the data controller (“Data Controller”) and LockSub is the data processor (“Data Processor”). All parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. The Data Processing Appendix sets out the scope, nature and purpose of processing by the Data Processor, the duration of the processing and the types of personal data and categories of data subject in relation to Jobs.

The Data Controller will:

  • Provide complete, accurate and lawful written instructions to the Data Processor to govern the processing of personal data as initially set out in the Data Processing Appendix;
  • Ensure that Data Controller has all necessary appropriate consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of the personal data to the Data Processor for the duration and purposes of the processing;
  • Notify the Data Processor without undue delay on becoming aware of a personal data breach which has or may have an impact on the processing carried out by the Data Processor or the written instructions for processing.

The Data Processor shall, in relation to any personal data processed in connection with the performance by the Data Processor of its obligations under these Terms:

  • Process that personal data only on the written instructions of the Data Controller as set out in the Data Processing Appendix unless the Data Processor is required by the laws of England or by the laws of the European Union (for so long as and to the extent that they apply to the Data Processor) to process personal data (“Applicable Laws”). Where the Data Processor is relying on Applicable Laws as the basis for processing personal data, the Data Processor shall promptly notify the Data Controller of this before performing the processing required by the Applicable Laws unless those Applicable Laws prohibit the Data Processor from so notifying the Data Controller;
  • Ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data, appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures (those measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting personal data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to personal data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organisational measures adopted by it);
  • Ensure that all Data Processor personnel who have access to and/or process personal data are obliged to keep the personal data confidential;
  • not transfer any personal data outside of the European Economic Area (which includes the United Kingdom for the purposes of this Agreement) unless the prior written consent of the Data Controller has been obtained and the following conditions are fulfilled:
    • The Data Controller or the Data Processor has provided appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer; o the data subject has enforceable rights and effective legal remedies; o the Data Processor complies with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation by providing an adequate level of protection to any personal data that is transferred; and o at the Data Controller’s cost, the Data Processor complies with reasonable instructions notified to it in advance by the Data Controller with respect to the processing of the personal data;
    • Assist the Data Controller, at the Data Controller’s cost, in responding to any request from a data subject and in ensuring compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators;
    • Notify the Data Controller without undue delay on becoming aware of a personal data breach;
    • At the written direction of the Data Controller, delete or return personal data and copies thereof to the Data Controller on termination of the agreement unless required by Applicable Law to store the personal data; and
    • Maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate its compliance with this paragraph.

The Data Controller consents to the Data Processor appointing third-party processors of personal data under these terms and the Data Processor shall provide the Data Controller with a list of current sub-processors on request. The Data Processor confirms that it has with the third-party processor entered into a written agreement substantially on that third party’s standard terms of business. Prior to appointing any other sub-processors, the Data Processor shall give the Data Controller 30 days’ prior notice after which time the Data Controller shall have 90 days’ to terminate the agreement if the Data Controller does not agree to the appointment. As between the Data Controller and the Data Processor, the Data Processor shall remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any third-party processor appointed by it pursuant to this provision.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
