(1) The Controller shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of data protection law, in particular for the lawfulness of the transfer of data to the Processor and for the lawfulness of the data processing (Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR). The Processor shall not use the data for any purposes other than those specified in this data processing agreement as well as the main Agreement and, in particular, is not authorised to pass them on to third parties not covered by § 6 of this agreement. Copies and duplicates will not be made without the knowledge of the Controller. Anything to the contrary shall only apply to the extent specified in § 3 (2) of this agreement.

(2) The Processor shall process personal data only on the documented instructions of the Controller, unless there is another obligation under Union law or the law of the Member State to which the Processor is subject. In the event of another obligation, the Processor shall inform the Controller of the corresponding legal requirements without delay prior to such processing, if legally permitted.

(3) If the Processor is of the opinion that an instruction of the Controller violates data protection regulations, it shall inform the Controller immediately in accordance with Art. 28 (3) GDPR.

(4) Changes to the object of processing must be jointly agreed and documented. The Processor may only provide information to third parties or the data subject with the prior written consent of the Controller.

§ 4 Confidentiality

The Processor shall only give access to Controller personal data to employees who have been bound to confidentiality in accordance with Art. 28 (3) (b) GDPR and who have received dedicated training on the data protection provisions relevant to them. The Processor and any person subordinate to the Processor who has access to personal data may only process this data in accordance with the Controller's instructions, including the authorisations granted in this Data Processing Agreement, unless they are legally obliged to do so.

§ 5 Data security

(1) The contracting parties agree on the specific data security measures set out in Appendix 2 "Technical and organisational measures" to this agreement in accordance with Art. 28 (3) (c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 32 (1) GDPR in order to ensure the security of the processing on behalf.

The state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope and purposes of the processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects  within the meaning of Art. 32 (1) GDPR will be taken into account by the Processor when implementing such measures.

(2) Appendix 2 is an integral part of this agreement.

(3) The Processor shall observe the principles of proper data processing. It shall guarantee the contractually agreed and legally required data security measures. The technical and organisational measures are subject to technical progress and further development. In this respect, the Processor is permitted to implement alternative adequate measures. In doing so, the security level of the defined measures must not be undercut. Significant changes must be documented and communicated to the Controller in writing.  

(4) In the event of a personal data breach, the Processor shall cooperate with and assist the Controller to enable the Controller to comply with its obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to the Processor.

(5) In the event of a personal data breach in connection with the data processed by the Processor, the Processor shall notify the Controller without undue delay after becoming aware of the breach. This notification shall contain at least the following information:

  • contact details of a contact point where further information about the personal data breach can be obtained;
  • the likely consequences and the measures taken or proposed to address the personal data breach, including measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.

If and to the extent that not all such information can be provided at the same time, the initial notification will contain the information available at that time and further information will be provided as soon as it becomes available without undue delay thereafter.

§ 6 Inclusion of further Processors (subcontractors)

(1) For the purposes of this agreement, subcontractors are further Processors whose services are directly related to the provision of the main service. This does not include ancillary services which the Processor utilises, e.g. as telecommunications services, postal/transport services and cleaning. However, the Processor is obliged to take appropriate and legally compliant contractual agreements and control measures to ensure the data protection and data security of the Controller's data, even in the case of outsourced ancillary services.

(2) The use of subcontractors or the change of the existing subcontractor is permitted, provided that:

  • the Processor notifies the Controller of such outsourcing to subcontractors 14 calendar days in advance in writing or in text form, and
  • the Controller does not object to the planned outsourcing in writing or in text form to the Processor by the time the data is transferred.

(3) A contractual agreement shall be concluded with the subcontractor in accordance with Art. 28 (3) and (4) GDPR.

(4) The transfer of personal data of the Controller to the subcontractor and the subcontractor's initial activities are only permitted once all legal requirements for subcontracting have been met. The subcontractors authorised by the Controller at the time the contract are listed in Appendix 3.

(1) The Processor is obliged to support the Controller with appropriate technical and organisational measures, where possible, to comply with the obligations to respond to requests of data subjects exercising their rights under Art. 12 to 22 GDPR (Art. 28 (3) (e) GDPR).

(2) Insofar as the data subject has a right to data portability vis-à-vis the Controller, the Processor shall ensure that the Controller can receive the personal data processed in the Processor's area of responsibility in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.    

(3) The Processor may only disclose, rectify, erase or restrict the processing of personal data in accordance with documented instructions from the Controller (Art. 28 (3) (g) GDPR).

(2) The Processor shall support the Controller in complying with the obligations set out in Art. 32 - 36 GDPR regarding the security of personal data, reporting obligations in the event of data breaches, data protection impact assessments and prior consultations. This includes in particular

  • ensuring an adequate level of protection through technical and organisational measures that take into account the circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the predicted likelihood and severity of a potential breach through security vulnerabilities and enable the immediate detection of relevant breach events
  • the obligation to inform the Controller without undue delay if the Processor becomes aware of a personal data breach (Art. 28 (3) (f), Art. 33 (2) GDPR);
  • the obligation to support the Controller in the context of his duty to inform the data subject and to provide him with all relevant information in this context without delay;
  • the support of the Controller for its data protection impact assessment;
  • the support of the Controller in the context of prior consultations with the supervisory authority.

§ 9 Control rights of the Controller, Art. 28 para. 3 sentence 2 lit. h GDPR

(1) The Processor undertakes to provide the Controller, upon written request and within a reasonable period of time, with all information and evidence necessary to carry out a written inspection.

(2) The Controller shall verify the technical and organisational measures of the Processor before commencing data processing and thereafter on a regular basis. This shall primarily be done by

  • Obtaining information from the Processor, or
  • Independent test reports and certifications

take place.

If the Controller can assert justified doubts about the accuracy of the test reports or certifications on the basis of factual evidence, if there are incidents within the meaning of Art. 33 para. 1 GDPR in connection with the performance of data processing, or if documents submitted in advance do not provide the necessary evidence in full, the controller may carry out on-site inspections. The Processor must be notified of these in writing in good time in advance, but generally at least 14 calendar days (exception e.g. in the case of special incidents). The same applies to causeless on-site inspections. On-site inspections without cause can be carried out a maximum of once a year. The exercise of the right of inspection must not unduly disrupt the business operations of the Processor or be abusive. The Controller shall bear the actual costs caused by unprovoked on-site inspections of the Processor.

(3) A record of the inspection and its results shall be drawn up by the person responsible.

§ 10 Liability

(1) The liability of the parties shall be governed by Art. 82 GDPR. This shall not affect the Processor’s liability to the Controller for breach of obligations under this contract or the main contract.

(2) The parties shall release each other from liability if one party proves that it is not responsible in any respect for the circumstance that caused the damage to a data subject. § 10 (2) sentence 1 shall apply accordingly in the event of a fine imposed on a party, whereby the indemnification shall be made to the extent that the respective other party bears a share of the responsibility for the breach sanctioned by the fine.

§ 11 Non-compliance with the clauses and termination of the contract (Art. 28 (3) (g) GDPR)

(1) Without prejudice to any provisions of the GDPR, in the event that the Processor is in breach of its obligations under these Clauses, the controller may instruct the Processor to suspend the processing of personal data until the latter complies with these Clauses or the contract is terminated. The Processor shall promptly inform the controller in case it is unable to comply with these Clauses, for whatever reason.

(2) The controller shall be entitled to terminate the contract insofar as it concerns processing of personal data in accordance with these Clauses if:

  • the processing of personal data by the Processor has been suspended by the controller pursuant to point (a) and if compliance with these Clauses is not restored within a reasonable time and in any event within one month following suspension;
  • the Processor is in persistent breach of these Clauses or its obligations under the GDPR;
  • the Processor fails to comply with a binding decision of a competent court or the competent supervisory authorities regarding its obligations pursuant to these Clauses or the GDPR.

(3) The Processor shall be entitled to terminate the contract insofar as it concerns processing of personal data under these Clauses where, after having informed the controller that its instructions infringe applicable legal requirements in accordance with Clause 7.1 (b), the controller insists on compliance with the instructions.

(4) Upon completion of the provision of the processing services, the Processor shall either delete or return all personal data at the discretion of the Controller, unless there is a legal obligation to store the personal data.

(5) In this case, the Processor shall confirm to the Controller in text form, stating the date and without further request, that it has returned to the Controller or destroyed or securely erased all data carriers and other documents that may have been provided to it and has therefore not retained any data of the Controller.

(6) Documentation that serves as proof of proper data processing shall be retained by the Processor beyond the end of the contract in accordance with the respective retention periods.

§ 12 Final provisions

(1) Data carriers and data records provided shall remain the property of the Controller.

(2) Should one or more provisions of this agreement be invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In the event of the invalidity of one or more provisions, the contracting parties shall immediately replace the invalid provision with a provision that most closely corresponds to the invalid provision in economic terms and in terms of data protection law.

(3) The contracting parties agree that Processor’s defense of the right of retention within the meaning of § 273 BGB (German Civil Code) with regard to the data to be processed and the associated data carriers is excluded.

(4) Insofar as other agreements at the time of the conclusion of this contract contain provisions to the contrary or contradict this contract, the contents of this contract shall take precedence.
