This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") is incorporated into and forms part of the Terms of Service or any other master services agreement (the "Agreement") between the customer subscribing to the Services ("Customer" or "Controller") and ScanSewa, a software initiative developed and powered by Lacspace ("ScanSewa," "we," "us," or "Processor").
This DPA applies to the processing of Personal Data that is subject to Data Protection Laws, where Customer is the Controller and ScanSewa is the Processor. It reflects the parties' agreement with regard to the processing of Customer's Personal Data in connection with the Services provided by ScanSewa.
For the purposes of this DPA, the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Agreement.
The parties agree that with respect to the processing of Personal Data, Customer is the Controller and ScanSewa is the Processor. ScanSewa will process Personal Data only on behalf of the Customer and in accordance with the Customer's documented instructions, including the terms of this DPA and the Agreement.
ScanSewa will, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify Customer if it receives a request from a Data Subject to exercise their rights under Data Protection Laws (e.g., access, rectification, erasure, portability). Taking into account the nature of the processing, ScanSewa shall assist Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfillment of Customer's obligation to respond to such requests.
ScanSewa shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect Personal Data from security incidents and to preserve the security and confidentiality of the Personal Data. These measures include, but are not limited to, encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls, regular security assessments, and a security incident response plan. A detailed overview of our security measures can be provided upon request.
Customer provides a general authorization for ScanSewa to engage third-party sub-processors to process Personal Data on Customer's behalf. ScanSewa will maintain a list of its sub-processors, which can be made available to the Customer upon request. ScanSewa shall enter into a written agreement with each sub-processor containing data protection obligations no less protective than those in this DPA. ScanSewa remains fully liable to the Customer for the performance of the sub-processor's data protection obligations.
ScanSewa will not transfer Personal Data to a country outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, or the United Kingdom without appropriate safeguards as required by Data Protection Laws. If such a transfer is required, it will be done in compliance with mechanisms such as the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
ScanSewa shall make available to the Customer all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in this DPA and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the Customer or another auditor mandated by the Customer, subject to reasonable notice and confidentiality obligations.
In the event of a Personal Data Breach, ScanSewa will notify the Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of the breach. The notification will include details of the breach, the potential impact, and the corrective actions taken. ScanSewa will provide reasonable assistance to the Customer in its handling of the breach, including any notifications to Supervisory Authorities or Data Subjects.
Upon termination of the Agreement, ScanSewa shall, at the Customer's choice, delete or return all Personal Data to the Customer and delete existing copies unless applicable law requires storage of the Personal Data.
