10. Processors of the Data Processor

The Data Processor, in order to maintain their operational efficiency, establishes contracts with other entities that may process certain personal data, identifying a list of these sub-processors in Annex III to this Agreement. The Data Controller gives general authorization to the Data Processor to subcontract the entities identified in Annex III for the processing of personal data arising from this Agreement. Whenever it subcontracts another entity, the Data Processor guarantees that they will comply with the provisions of the Data Protection Regime and other applicable legislation by entering into a written contract with such entities that it subcontracts, reflecting the same data protection obligations set out in this Agreement.

The Data Processor undertakes to inform the Data Controller of any intended changes to the number or replacement of the subprocessors it uses, and the Data Controller may oppose such changes in writing. If the Data Controller opposes the changes and does not agree with the arguments put forward and decides to keep the data processor listed, the Data Controller will be given the opportunity to terminate the subscription with immediate effect, without prejudice to the payment of a pro-rata amount corresponding to the subscription period already used.

If the data is processed by the Data Processor's subprocessor outside the European Union/European Economic Area, the requirements for international data transfers set out in the GDPR must be complied with before such processing begins.

The Data Processor’s liability towards subprocessors provided for in the preceding paragraphs covers any entities acting as subprocessors in a subcontracting chain with the Data Processor, regardless of whether their link with the Data Processor is direct or indirect.

11. Liability

The Data Processor shall be liable for all damages caused to the Data Controller that are directly and effectively attributed to it as a result of the processing by it and/or its employees, service providers or subprocessors [pursuant to clause 10 (Subprocessors of the Data Processor)] of personal data in violation of the applicable legal rules and/or the provisions of this agreement.

12. Notification of personal data breaches

The Data Processor is obliged to notify the Data Controller of any breach that potentially compromises the security of personal data concerning it, such as accidental, unauthorized or unlawful transfer, access, loss, alteration or disclosure to third parties, in violation of this Agreement or the Data Protection Regime, or any incident which directly or indirectly affects, or is likely to affect, the confidentiality, integrity or authenticity of the data as soon as possible in the circumstances and without undue delay, in any event no later than 72 hours after the Data Processor becomes aware of the fact.

The notification under the previous paragraph must include all relevant information regarding the personal data affected, namely:

  1. The nature of the personal data breached, including the categories and number of data subjects affected, as well as the categories and number of personal data records concerned;
  2. The name and contact details of the Data Protection Officer or other contact point where further information can be obtained;
  3. A description of the foreseeable consequences of the personal data breach; and
  4. The measures adopted or proposed by the Data Controller to remedy the personal data breach and to mitigate its possible negative effects.

In the event of a breach or incident, the Data Processor shall investigate the incident or breach of personal data, take appropriate measures to ensure the security of personal data and to mitigate its possible negative effects on the affected data subjects and prevent any future incidents or breaches of personal data.

13. Audits

The Data Processor will carry out security audits of their infrastructure and the computing environment it uses to process personal data, as follows:

  1. Where a standard or framework provides for audits, an audit of that standard or control framework will be initiated at least annually.
  2. Each audit will be carried out in accordance with the standards and rules of the regulatory or accreditation body for each applicable standard or control framework.
  3. Each audit will be carried out by qualified and independent third-party security auditors at the Data Processor’s expense and selection.

Each audit will result in the generation of an audit report, which the Data Processor will make available on their website or elsewhere identified by it. The report will be considered Healthium Confidential Information and will clearly disclose any material findings of the auditor. The Data Processor shall promptly correct any problems raised in any report to the satisfaction of the auditor. If requested by the Data Controller, the Data Processor will provide the Data Controller with each report.

Reports may be subject to non-disclosure and distribution limitations by Healthium and the auditor.

To the extent that the Data Controller's audit requirements under the respective Data Protection laws cannot reasonably be satisfied through audit reports, documentation or compliance information that the Data Processor makes generally available to their customers, the Data Processor shall respond to the Data Controller's additional audit instructions. Prior to the commencement of an audit, the Data Processor and the Data Controller shall mutually agree on the scope, timing, duration, control and evidence requirements and fees of the audit, provided that such agreement requirement shall not allow the Data Processor to unreasonably delay the execution of the audit. To the extent necessary to carry out the audit, the Data Processor shall make available the processing systems, facilities and supporting documentation relevant to the processing of Personal Data by the Data Processor and their Subprocessors. Such audit shall be conducted by an independent and accredited audit firm, during normal business hours, with reasonable notice to the Data Processor and subject to reasonable confidentiality procedures. The Data Controller shall be responsible for all costs and fees related to such audit, including all reasonable costs and fees for any and all time that the Data Processor spends on such audit, in addition to fees for services performed by the Data Processor. If the audit report generated as a result of the Data Controller’s audit includes any finding of material non-compliance, the Data Controller shall share such audit report with the Data Processor and the Data Processor shall promptly remedy any such material non-compliance.

Nothing in this section of this Agreement varies or modifies the terms of the GDPR or affects the rights of any supervisory authority or data subject under the respective Data Protection laws.
