This Data Processing Addendum (“Addendum”) supplements and amends the Master Agreement with regards to the processing of EU Personal Data. This Addendum applies to EAB’s processing of Personal Data provided by Organization to EAB. Except as expressly stated otherwise, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Addendum, including any policies or appendices referenced herein, and the Master Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall take precedence. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings given to them in the Master Agreement.

I. Definitions:

Data Protection Legislation: all applicable legislation relating to the protection and processing of Personal Data in any relevant jurisdiction, including (without limitation): the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679), the Data Protection Act 2018, the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, or any other legislation which implements any other current or future legal act of the European Union concerning the protection and processing of personal data and any national implementing or successor legislation), and including any amendment or re-enactment of the foregoing;
  2. Personal Data: has the meaning given to it in the Data Protection Legislation and relates only to personal data, or any part of such personal data, in respect of which EAB is a processor in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Master Agreement; and

  5. take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Data is accurate, complete and up to date, is limited to what is necessary for the purposes of the processing and is kept in a form which permits identification of Data Subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the Personal Data is processed, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted under applicable EU or Member State law;
  6. implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure, and to be able to demonstrate that the processing of Personal Data is performed in accordance with applicable Data Protection Legislation; and

IV. Obligations on EAB

In processing Personal Data on behalf of Organization, EAB acting as processor shall:

  1. only act on the instructions of Organization as set out in the Master Agreement or as otherwise documented by Organization, unless any EU or Member State law requires otherwise, in which case, EAB shall promptly notify Organization of such legislative requirement before processing Organization’s Personal Data (unless EAB is barred from notifying Organization under any EU or Member State law);
  2. implement and maintain at all times during the term of the Master Agreement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Organization’s Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against all other unlawful forms of processing, in each case, taking into account applicable requirements under the Data Protection Legislation, and shall continue to comply with them during the term of the Master Agreement;
  3. grant access to the Personal Data to persons authorized to process the Personal Data, including but not limited to: (i) employees who require access to the Personal Data to enable EAB to perform its obligations under the Master Agreement; and (ii) subject to Clause IV(e), EAB contractors, agents, outsourcers, and approved subcontractors who require access to the Personal Data to enable EAB to perform its obligations under the Master Agreement (the “Authorized Persons”) and, shall in each case, ensure such Authorized Persons have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality in respect of the Personal Data;
  4. transfer the Personal Data to, or process the Personal Data in, any country outside the European Economic Area where necessary to perform its obligations under the Master Agreement, and shall do so in accordance with Data Protection Legislation.

  5. not engage any sub-processor of the Personal Data without a general written authorization of Organization, attached hereto as Attachment A, and EAB shall inform Organization of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other sub-processors, to give Organization the opportunity to object;
  6. as requested by Organization, provide reasonable assistance to Organization (at Organization’s cost) with responding to any request from a Data Subject, and shall provide reasonable assistance to Organization in relation to Organization’s compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach notifications, data protection impact assessments and consultations with Supervisory Authorities;
  7. at Organization’s written request, EAB shall, and shall instruct all Authorized Persons to, (at Organization’s election), delete or return, to the extent technically possible, all Personal Data to Organization (and delete all existing copies), unless it is necessary for EAB to retain one copy of the Personal Data to comply with any EU or Member State law; and
