Appendix I to Exhibit A – Technical and Organizational Security Measures;
Exhibit B – Jurisdiction Specific Terms; and
Appendix I to Exhibit B – Supplemental Clauses to the Standard Contractual Clauses.
3. Processing of Customer Personal Data.
Wash Agency will act as a Processor of Customer Personal Data. Customer will act as the Controller of Customer Personal Data. To the extent Customer acts as a Processor to other parties when processing Customer Personal Data, Wash Agency will act as the Sub-Processor to Customer.
Wash Agency shall:
Comply with all Applicable Data Protection Laws in the Processing of Customer Personal Data;
Not Process Customer Personal Data other than on Customer’s relevant documented instructions, including to provide and improve the Services set forth in the Agreement (for clarity, such instructions include authorization to anonymize, deidentify, or aggregate Customer Personal Data and to provide Wash Agency’s AI features used for the Services), unless such Processing is permitted or required by Applicable Data Protection Laws; and
immediately inform Customer in the event that, in Wash Agency’s reasonable opinion, a Processing instruction given by Customer may infringe Applicable Data Protection Laws.
All necessary information relating to the details of Processing is set out within Exhibit A.
Customer instructs Wash Agency (and authorizes Wash Agency to instruct each Contracted Processor it engages) to Process Customer Personal Data and, in particular, transfer Customer Personal Data to any country or territory, only as reasonably necessary for the provision of the Services and consistent with the Agreement and this Addendum.
4. Personnel. Wash Agency shall take reasonable steps to ensure:
the reliability of any employee, agent, or contractor who may have access to Customer Personal Data;
that access to Customer Personal Data is strictly limited to those individuals who need to know or access it, as strictly necessary to fulfil the documented instructions given to Wash Agency by Customer or to comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws; and
that all such individuals are subject to formal confidentiality undertakings, professional obligations of confidentiality, or statutory obligations of confidentiality.
5. Security of Processing. Wash Agency shall implement and maintain the administrative, technical, and organizational security measures identified within Appendix I to Exhibit A, which ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of Processing and take into account: the state of the art, costs of implementation, and the nature and purposes of Processing; the risk of varying likelihood and severity to the rights and freedoms of natural persons; and the risks presented by the Processing activities, particularly those risks related to Personal Data Breaches.
6. Contracted Processors.
Authorization for Existing Contracted Processors: Customer authorizes Wash Agency to continue using those Contracted Processors engaged as of the Effective Date and set out within Wash Agency’s website [https://www.thewashagency.com/sub-processors], and further authorizes Wash Agency and its Contracted Processors to appoint additional Contracted Processors, provided the obligations of this Section 6 (and the respective obligations of Exhibit B) are met.
Authorization for Appointment of Contracted Processors: To appoint an additional Contracted Processor, Wash Agency will provide Customer with written notice, which will include the details of Processing to be undertaken as described within Wash Agency’s website. Customer may subscribe to receive such notifications by clicking “Click here to receive notifications of any updates to this list” at the following address: https://www.thewashagency.com/sub-processors.
Objection to Contracted Processors:
Customer will be deemed to have consented to the additional Contracted Processor if no objection is received within thirty (30) days of Wash Agency’s notice. Customer may object to the appointment of a Contracted Processor by providing a written objection, which shall include the name of the objected-to Contracted Processor and a reasonable statement of objection.
If an objection is received, the Parties will work together in good faith with a view of achieving a commercially reasonable resolution. If no mutually agreeable resolution is available, Customer may terminate the Agreement immediately upon written notice to Wash Agency, with no further fees due, other than what has been accrued up to and including the date of termination. Upon notice of termination, Wash Agency shall cease Processing Customer Personal Data.
Requirements for Appointing Contracted Processors: With respect to each Contracted Processor, Wash Agency shall:
restrict the Contracted Processor’s access to Customer Personal Data only to what is necessary to assist Wash Agency in providing the Services, and prohibit the Contracted Processor from accessing Customer Personal Data for any other purpose; and
ensure that the arrangement between Wash Agency and the Contracted Processor is governed by a written contract that includes terms which offer at least the same level of protection for Customer Personal Data as those set out in this Addendum, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Contracted Processor.
Where any Contracted Processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written contract (or in the absence thereof, as the case may be), Wash Agency shall remain fully liable to Customer for the performance of the respective Contracted Processors’ data protection obligations under such contract and/or Applicable Data Protection Laws.
7. Rights of the Data Subjects.
Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Wash Agency shall assist Customer by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as possible, to respond to valid requests to exercise Rights of the Data Subjects under Applicable Data Protection Laws.
With regard to the Rights of the Data Subjects within the scope of this Section 7, Wash Agency shall:
promptly notify Customer if it or any of its Contracted Processors receive a request from a Data Subject with respect to Customer Personal Data;
not respond to that request, except on the documented instructions of Customer or as required by Applicable Data Protection Laws, in which case Wash Agency shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Data Protection Laws, inform Customer of such requirement before it responds to the request or directs its Contracted Processors to respond; and
promptly comply with any documented instructions from Customer regarding responding to a request to exercise Rights of a Data Subject.
8. Personal Data Breaches.
Breach Response. If Wash Agency discovers, is notified of, or has reason to suspect a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data under its or its Contracted Processors’ control, Wash Agency will (i) immediately implement measures to stop the unauthorized access; (ii) secure the Customer Personal Data; and (iii) notify Customer without undue delay and, in any event, within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of such suspected Personal Data Breach.
Breach Obligations. Immediately upon providing notice of a Personal Data Breach, Wash Agency shall:
describe to Customer in as much detail as reasonably possible: (i) the nature of the Personal Data Breach, (ii) where possible, the categories and approximate number of Data Subjects concerned and the categories and approximate number of Personal Data records concerned, (iii) the impact of such Personal Data Breach upon Customer and the affected Data Subjects, and (iv) the measures taken or proposed by Wash Agency to address the Personal Data Breach;
provide and supplement notifications as and when additional information becomes available;
assist Customer in meeting its respective obligations pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Laws, including any obligations to notify Supervisory Authorities or Data Subjects of a Personal Data Breach; and
use commercially reasonable efforts to investigate, mitigate, and remediate each such Personal Data Breach and prevent a recurrence of such Personal Data Breach.
No Acknowledgement of Fault. Wash Agency’s notification of or response to a Personal Data Breach under this Section will not be construed as an acknowledgement by Wash Agency of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.
9. Data Protection Assessment and Prior Consultation. Wash Agency shall provide Customer with relevant information and documentation, and assist Customer in complying with its obligations with regard to any data protection assessments or prior consultations with Supervisory Authorities when required pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Laws, but in each such case solely with regard to Customer Personal Data Processed by, and taking into account the nature of Processing and information available to, Wash Agency and its Contracted Processors.
10. Deletion or Return of Personal Data.
Wash Agency shall provide Customer with the technical means, consistent with the way the Services are provided, to request the deletion of Customer Personal Data, with the exception of any Customer Personal Data that may be retained pursuant to applicable laws.
If requested by Customer and following the cessation of Services, Wash Agency shall promptly delete or return all Customer Personal Data (including copies) to Customer, with the exception of any Customer Personal Data that may be retained pursuant to applicable laws.
Wash Agency shall also cause all Contracted Processors that have received Customer Personal Data to delete or return, as applicable, all such Customer Personal Data, with the exception of any Customer Personal Data that may be retained pursuant to applicable laws.
This Section 10 does not apply to Customer Personal Data that has been archived on back-up systems, which Wash Agency or its Contracted Processors, as applicable, shall securely isolate and protect from any further Processing, except to the extent required by applicable law.
11. Audit Rights. Wash Agency shall allow for and contribute to audits, including remote inspections, by Customer or an auditor mandated by Customer (on behalf of itself or its clients) with regard to the Processing of the Customer Personal Data by Wash Agency and its Contracted Processors. To the extent legally permitted, Customer shall reimburse Wash Agency for any time expended for any such audit at Wash Agency’s then-current professional services rates, which shall be made available to Customer upon request.
12. Jurisdiction Specific Terms. To the extent Wash Agency Processes Customer Personal Data originating from or protected by Applicable Data Protection Laws in a jurisdiction listed in Exhibit B, then the terms and definitions specified in Exhibit B with respect to the applicable jurisdiction shall apply in addition to the terms of this Addendum.
13. Restricted Transfers.
Restricted Transfers of Customer Personal Data within the scope of this Addendum shall be conducted in accordance with Exhibit B and Applicable Data Protection Laws.
If the relevant authorities adopt a new version of SCCs as a lawful mechanism for Restricted Transfers in a jurisdiction governing the processing of Customer Personal Data, the Parties are deemed to have agreed to the execution of the new version of the SCCs by signing this Addendum, and, if necessary, Wash Agency shall be entitled to update Exhibit A and Exhibit B (and their appendices) accordingly.
If an alternative transfer mechanism, such as Binding Corporate Rules, is adopted by Wash Agency during the term of the Agreement (an “Alternative Mechanism”), and Wash Agency notifies Customer that some or all Restricted Transfers can be conducted in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws pursuant to the Alternative Mechanism, the Parties will rely on the Alternative Mechanism instead of the transfer mechanisms in Exhibit B for Restricted Transfers to which the Alternative Mechanism applies.
In addition, Wash Agency is certified to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Wash Agency agrees to notify Customer if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the Data Privacy Framework principles.
14. No Selling of Customer Personal Data. Wash Agency acknowledges and confirms that it does not receive any Customer Personal Data as consideration for any Services or other items that Wash Agency provides to Customer. As between Customer and Wash Agency, Customer retains all rights and interests in Customer Personal Data. Wash Agency agrees to refrain from taking any action that would cause any transfers of Customer Personal Data to or from Wash Agency to qualify as selling Customer Personal Data under Applicable Data Protection Laws.
15. Amendment and Online Hosting.
Subject to the conditions specified in this Addendum, Wash Agency may host the content of the exhibits and appendices of this Addendum online, and further update the Addendum / such exhibits and appendices, provided that prior notice is given to Customer.
If no objection is received within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the notice, Customer will be deemed to have consented to the update. If Customer issues notice of non-acceptance, the Parties will cooperate and negotiate in good faith regarding any required updates.
If no mutually agreeable resolution is available, Customer may terminate the Agreement immediately upon written notice to Wash Agency, with no further fees due, other than what has been accrued up to and including the date of termination. Upon notice of termination, Wash Agency shall cease Processing Customer Personal Data.
To the extent that the Addendum / an exhibit or appendix is hosted online, the latest version online shall take precedence over the relevant exhibit or appendix within this Addendum.
