PhyStack Data Processing Addendum (DPA)

Background and Scope

1.1 This Data Processing Addendum (this "DPA") constitutes an agreement between a controller and a processor as required by the GDPR (as defined below) and consists of this main document and the Specification (as defined below). Where applicable and subject to Section 6, standard contractual clauses adopted by the EU Commission from time to time shall be deemed incorporated into this DPA by reference. This DPA and the Terms of Service jointly form the Agreement. PhyStack will, as part of the Service, process Covered Personal Data (as defined below) on behalf of Customer and thus be Customer's processor.

1.2 If Covered Personal Data includes personal data for which a third party is the data controller, Customer warrants and represents that it has been instructed by and obtained the mandate and authorization of all relevant data controllers to enter into this DPA with PhyStack on behalf of such third party data controller.

1.3 For the avoidance of doubt, Personal Data collected and processed by PhyStack as the data controller is not subject to this DPA. Please see PhyStack's Privacy Policy for further information.

Interpretation and Definitions

2.1 This DPA constitutes an addendum and an integrated part of the Agreement. In the event of inconsistencies between any section in other Agreement documents and this DPA in regards to PhyStack's processing of Covered Personal Data, this DPA shall prevail and apply in lieu of such inconsistent section in other Agreement documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, standard contractual clauses shall (if incorporated) have the highest priority in the event of any conflict or inconsistency with this DPA or other parts of the Agreement.

2.2 Terms that are legally defined in the GDPR, such as "controller", "processor", "personal data", "processing" and "data subject", shall be construed and applied in accordance with the GDPR.

2.3 Terms defined in the Terms of Service shall have the same meaning when used in this DPA with an initial capital letter.

Following disclosure of Covered Personal Data by PhyStack to an Approved Partner in accordance with this Section 4.2, the relevant personal data will subsequently be processed by the Approved Partner as a data controller (unless otherwise agreed between the Customer and the Approved Partner).

4.3 The Customer has the right to continuously instruct PhyStack in writing regarding the processing of Covered Personal Data ("Additional Instructions"), and PhyStack has a corresponding obligation to follow such Additional Instructions, provided that they are consistent with the terms and scope of the Agreement and this DPA.

Technical and Organizational Measures

5.1 PhyStack shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the processing of Covered Personal Data. The Customer agrees and acknowledges that technical and organizational measures are subject to technical progress and further development. Accordingly, PhyStack reserves the right to modify such measures provided that the functionality and security of the Service is not significantly degraded as a result of thereof. The Customer hereby discharges PhyStack of any obligation to notify and/or obtain prior approval from Customer of such changes. If the Customer so requests in writing, PhyStack shall provide information about the technical and organizational security measures which PhyStack has implemented, within fifteen (15) business days from Customer's request.

6.3 Regardless of PhyStack's choice of Transfer Mechanism, PhyStack shall take appropriate safeguards to ensure a level of protection for Covered Personal Data which is essentially equivalent to that of the GDPR.

6.4 If during the term of the DPA, the EU Commission issues new or revised standard contractual clauses, such updated clauses shall automatically be incorporated and supersede the prior standard contractual clauses under this DPA, unless otherwise notified to Customer in writing by PhyStack. Where deemed necessary by PhyStack, the Parties shall at their own cost take necessary actions (if any) to properly implement the updated standard contractual clauses.
