This Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) is entered into between 4Seller Technology (America) Co., Ltd (“Company”, “us”, “our”, “we”) and the customer (“Customer”) for the purchase of online services (“Services”) from Company and reflect the parties agreement with regards to Processing of Personal Data.
Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 are both incorporated into, and form part of, this DPA. Appendix 1 sets out the agreed subject-matter, the nature and purpose of the processing, the type of Personal Data, categories of data subjects and Appendix 2 sets out the applicable technical and organizational measures. The technical and organizational measures apply to Company under this DPA and also to the Standard Contractual Clauses.
The terms “Personal Data”, “Controller”, “Data Subject”, “Processor” and “Processing” shall have the meaning given to them in the Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament.
“End-User” means any individual consumer who purchases products or services from Customer on a third-party e-commerce platform.
“End-User Data” means any Personal Data relating to an End-User that Company processes on behalf of Customer via the Service.
“Data Protection Law” means the applicable legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of persons and their right to privacy with regard to the processing of Personal Data under the Agreement.
“Subprocessor” means our Affiliates and third parties engaged by our Affiliates in connection with our Service and which process Personal Data in accordance with this DPA.
The parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the processing of End-User Data, Customer is Data Controller and Company is Data Processor acting on behalf of Customer.
Company shall process End-User Data only in accordance with Customer’s instructions as set forth in this DPA, as necessary to comply with applicable law.
Customer represents and warrants that (i) it has all notices and policies required to inform End-User about the Processing and their rights provided by Data Protection laws; (ii) it has collected all consents and confirmations required for processing of End-User Data by Company pursuant to this DPA; and it has complied, and will continue to comply, with all applicable laws, including Data Protection Laws, in respect of its processing of End-User Data and any processing instructions it issues to Company.
Customer shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and legality of End-User Data and the means by which Customer acquired End-User Data.
We will process Personal Data only in accordance with documented instructions from Customer. The Agreement (including this DPA) constitutes such documented initial instructions and each use of the Service then constitutes further instructions. We will use reasonable efforts to follow any other Customer instructions, as long as they are required by Data Protection Law, technically feasible and do not require changes to the Service. If any of the before-mentioned exceptions apply, or we otherwise cannot comply with an instruction or we are of the opinion that an instruction infringes Data Protection Law, we will immediately notify Customer (email permitted).
We may also process Personal Data where required to do so by applicable law. In such a case, Company shall inform Customer of that legal requirement before processing unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest.
To process Personal Data, we and our Sub-processors shall only grant access to authorized personnel who have committed themselves to confidentiality. We and our Sub-processors will regularly train personnel having access to Personal Data in applicable data security and data privacy measures.
At Customer’s request, Company will reasonably cooperate with Customer in dealing with requests from Data Subjects or regulatory authorities regarding our processing of Personal Data or any Personal Data breach.
If we receive a request from a Data Subject in relation to the Personal Data processing hereunder, we will promptly notify Customer (where the Data Subject has provided information to identify the Customer) via e-mail and shall not respond to such request itself but instead ask the Data Subject to redirect its request to Customer.
In the event of a dispute with a Data Subject as it relates to our processing of Personal Data under this DPA, the Parties shall keep each other informed and, where appropriate, reasonably co-operate with the aim of resolving the dispute amicably with the Data Subject.
Company shall provide functionality for production systems that supports Customer’s ability to correct, delete or anonymize Personal Data from Service, or restrict its processing in line with Data Protection Law. Where such functionality is not provided, we will correct, delete or anonymize any Personal Data, or restrict its processing, in accordance with the Customer’s instruction and Data Protection Law.
Company will notify Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of any Personal Data Breach and provide reasonable information in its possession to assist Customer to meet Customer’s obligations to report a Personal Data Breach as required under Data Protection Law. Company may provide such information in phases as it becomes available. Such notification shall not be interpreted or construed as an admission of fault or liability by Company.
Company shall respond to all requests for information made by Customer to confirm our compliance with this DPA. This includes but is not limited to provision of information regarding security measures implemented, conducting of due diligence, and answering to audit questionnaires, provided that Customer shall not exercise this right more than once per calendar year.
End-User Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required for performance of the contract between Company and Customer until such a contract has been fully performed or terminated. Upon expiration of the contract, End-User Data shall be deleted, unless it should be retained according to applicable Data Protection Laws, or due to a request from an authorized authority, prosecution body or court.
Customer or its independent third party auditor reasonably acceptable to Company (which shall not include any third party auditors who are either a competitor of Company or not suitably qualified or independent) may audit Company’s control environment and security practices relevant to Personal Data processed by Company only if:
Customer shall provide at least 60 days advance notice of any audit unless mandatory Data Protection Law or a competent data protection authority requires shorter notice. The frequency and scope of any audits shall be mutually agreed between the parties acting reasonably and in good faith. Customer audits shall be limited in time to a maximum of 3 business days. Beyond such restrictions, the parties will use current certifications or other audit reports to avoid or minimize repetitive audits. Customer shall provide the results of any audit to Company.
Customer shall bear the costs of any audit. If an audit determines that Company has breached its obligations under the DPA, Company will promptly remedy the breach at its own cost.
Company is granted a general authorization to subcontract the processing of Personal Data to Subprocessors, provided that:
Company’s use of Subprocessors is at its discretion, provided that Customer may object to such changes as set out in Section 6.3.
If Customer has a legitimate reason under Data Protection Law to object to the new Subprocessors’ processing of Personal Data, Customer may terminate the Agreement (limited to the Cloud Service for which the new Subprocessor is intended to be used) on written notice to Company.
Any termination under this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to be without fault by either party and shall be subject to the terms of the Agreement.
Company shall be entitled to process Personal Data, including by using Subprocessors, in accordance with this DPA outside the country in which the Customer is located as permitted under Data Protection Law.
Where a Controller’s Personal Data Processing is undertaken outside of the European Union, and such processing requires a means of adequate data protection under the laws of the country of the Controller and that data protection requirement is, or can be, met by the parties entering into Standard Contractual Clauses, then:
