Controller shall ensure that its instructions comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable in relation to the Personal Data, and that the Processing of Personal Data in accordance with Controller’s instructions will not cause Processor to be in breach of the Data Protection Laws. Controller is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of (i) the Personal Data provided to Processor by or on behalf of Controller, (ii) the means by which Controller acquired any such Personal Data, and (iii) the instructions it provides to Processor regarding the Processing of such Personal Data. Controller shall not provide or make available to Processor any Personal Data in violation of the Terms of Service or otherwise inappropriate for the nature of the Services, and shall indemnify Processor from all claims and losses in connection therewith. This Addendum does not apply to Personal Data for which Processor is a controller.

2.2 Processor shall not Process Personal Data (i) for purposes other than those set forth in the Terms of Service and/or Exhibit A, (ii) in a manner inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this Addendum or any other documented instructions provided by Controller, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organization, unless required to do so by Supervisory Authority to which the Processor is subject; in such a case, the Processor shall inform the Controller of that legal requirement before Processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest and (iii) in violation of the GDPR. Controller hereby instructs Processor to Process Personal Data in accordance with the foregoing and as part of any Processing initiated by Controller in its use of the Services.

2.3 The subject matter, nature, purpose, and duration of this Processing, as well as the types of Personal Data collected and categories of Data Subjects, are described in Exhibit A to this Addendum.

2.4 Following completion of the Services, at Controller’s choice, Processor shall return or delete the Personal Data, unless further storage of Personal Data is required or authorized by applicable law. If return or destruction is impracticable or prohibited by law, rule or regulation, Processor shall take measures to block such Personal Data from any further Processing (except to the extent necessary for its continued hosting or Processing required by law, rule or regulation) and shall continue to appropriately protect the Personal Data remaining in its possession, custody, or control. If Controller and Processor have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses as described in Section 6 (Transfers of Personal Data), the parties agree that the certification of deletion of Personal Data that is described in Clause 12(1) of the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be provided by Processor to Controller only upon Controller’s request.

3. Authorized Employees

3.1 Processor shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure the reliability and appropriate training of any Authorized Employee.

4.2 A list of Processor’s current Authorized Sub-Processors (the “List”) is available at pory.io/legal/subprocessors. Such List which may be updated by Processor from time to time. The List may provide a mechanism to subscribe to notifications of new Authorized Sub-Processors and Controller agrees to subscribe to such notifications where available. At least ten (10) days before enabling any third party other than Authorized Sub-Processors to access or participate in the Processing of Personal Data, Processor will add such third party to the List. Controller may reasonably object to such an engagement on legitimate grounds by informing Processor in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of the aforementioned notice by Controller. Controller acknowledges that certain sub-processors are essential to providing the Services and that objecting to the use of a sub-processor may prevent Processor from offering the Services to Controller.

4.3 If Controller reasonably objects to an engagement in accordance with Section 4.2, and Processor cannot provide a commercially reasonable alternative within a reasonable period of time, Processor may terminate this Addendum. Termination shall not relieve Controller of any fees owed to Processor under the Terms of Service.

4.4 If Controller does not object to the engagement of a third party in accordance with Section 4.2 within ten (10) days of notice by Processor, that third party will be deemed an Authorized Sub-Processor for the purposes of this Addendum.

4.5 Processor will enter into a written agreement with the Authorized Sub-Processor imposing on the Authorized Sub-Processor data protection obligations comparable to those imposed on Processor under this Addendum with respect to the protection of Personal Data. In case an Authorized Sub-Processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement with Processor, Processor will remain liable to Controller for the performance of the Authorized Sub-Processor’s obligations under such agreement

4.6 The above authorizations will constitute Controller’s prior written consent to the subcontracting by Processor of the processing of Personal Data if such consent is required under the Standard Contractual Clauses, and the parties agree that the copies of the agreements with Authorized Sub-Processors that must be provided by Processor to Controller pursuant to Clause 5(j) of the Standard Contractual Clauses may have commercial information, or information unrelated to the Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent, removed by the Processor beforehand, and that such copies will be provided by the Processor only upon request by Controller.

5. Security of Personal Data.

Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Processor shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of Processing Personal Data.

6. Transfers of Personal Data

6.1 The parties agree that Processor may transfer Personal Data processed under this Addendum outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland as necessary to provide the Services. If Processor transfers Personal Data protected under this Addendum to a jurisdiction for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, Processor will ensure that appropriate safeguards have been implemented for the transfer of Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Laws.

6.2 Where required, any transfer of Personal Data made subject to this Addendum to any countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection shall be undertaken by Processor through the Standard Contractual Clauses set forth in Exhibit B to this Addendum, or, if available, an alternative compliance mechanism authorized pursuant to Data Protection Laws or subsequent guidance from EEA or United Kingdom regulators, as applicable.

If Processor receives a Data Subject Request in relation to Controller’s data, Processor will advise the Data Subject to submit their request to Controller and Controller will be responsible for responding to such request, including, where necessary, by using the functionality of the Services. Controller is solely responsible for ensuring that Data Subject Requests for erasure, restriction or cessation of Processing, or withdrawal of consent to Processing of any Personal Data are communicated to Processor, and, if applicable, for ensuring that a record of consent to Processing is maintained with respect to each Data Subject

7.2 Processor shall, at the request of the Controller, and taking into account the nature of the Processing applicable to any Data Subject Request, apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to assist Controller in complying with Controller’s obligation to respond to such Data Subject Request and/or in demonstrating such compliance, where possible, provided that (i) Controller is itself unable to respond without Processor’s assistance and (ii) Processor is able to do so in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

Controller shall be responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by Processor.

8.2 Processor shall, taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Processor, provide Controller with reasonable cooperation and assistance with respect to Controller’s cooperation and/or prior consultation with any Supervisory Authority, where necessary and where required by the GDPR.

8.4 Upon Controller’s request, Processor shall, no more than once per calendar year, either (i) make available for Controller’s review copies of certifications or reports demonstrating Processor’s compliance with prevailing data security standards applicable to the Processing of Controller’s Personal Data, or (ii) if the provision of reports or certifications pursuant to (i) is not reasonably sufficient under Data Protection Laws, allow Controller or its authorized representative, upon reasonable notice and at a mutually agreeable date and time, to conduct an audit or inspection of Processor’s data security infrastructure and procedures that is sufficient to demonstrate Processor’s compliance with its obligations under this Addendum, provided that Controller shall provide reasonable prior notice of any such request for an audit and such inspection shall not be unreasonably disruptive to Processor’s business. Controller shall be responsible for the costs of any such audits or inspections, including without limitation a reimbursement to Processor for any time expended for on-site audits. **The parties agree that the audits described in Clause 5(f) and Clause 12(2) of the Standard Contractual Clauses shall be carried out in accordance with this Section 8.4.

8.5 Processor shall immediately notify Controller if an instruction, in the Processor’s opinion, infringes the Data Protection Laws or Supervisory Authority.

8.6 In the event of a Personal Data Breach, Processor shall, without undue delay, inform Controller of the Personal Data Breach and take such steps as Processor in its sole discretion deems necessary and reasonable to remediate such violation (to the extent that remediation is within Processor’s reasonable control).

8.7 In the event of a Personal Data Breach, Processor shall, taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Processor, provide Controller with reasonable cooperation and assistance necessary for Controller to comply with its obligations under the GDPR with respect to notifying (i) the relevant Supervisory Authority and (ii) Data Subjects affected by such Personal Data Breach without undue delay.

8.8 The obligations described in Sections 8.5 and 8.6 shall not apply in the event that a Personal Data Breach results from the actions or omissions of Controller. Processor’s obligation to report or respond to a Personal Data Breach under Sections 8.5 and 8.6 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Processor of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.
