Your responsibilities

You decide and control which type of Customer Personal Data is processed in the Service, which features and functionalities will be used, for which purposes and for how long. For this reason, you are the sole controller of the Customer Personal Data. As the sole controller, you are responsible for:

  • Making all contractual arrangements necessary for you to be able to act as the sole controller, for example with other entities in your company group. 

  • Ensuring that there is a legal basis for all processing of the Customer Personal Data. 

  • Ensuring that the data subjects get all information they are entitled to under Applicable Data Protection Law, for example through appropriate privacy notices. 

  • Ensuring that the processing of Customer Personal Data otherwise fulfills the requirements in Applicable Data Protection Law.  

  • Providing us with documented instructions on how to process the Customer Personal Data. You have done so by way of this DPA, and the rest of the Agreement. 

You can change or update your instructions to us on how to process Customer Personal Data. You do so by sending an email to legal@teamtailor.com, stating what change you want to make to the instructions and why, at least thirty (30) calendar days ahead of the Change Date. We will assess whether we can reasonably fulfill the new instruction and let you know whether that’s the case. If we are not able to solve the issue by the Change Date, the change will not take effect and either Party can, for a period of fourteen (14) calendar days after the Change Date, terminate the Agreement without any cost, penalty or liability. 

Our responsibilities 

We will act as your processor / service provider, and will not process, sell, retain, use, or disclose any Customer Personal Data for any other purpose than providing the Service in accordance with the Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that our access to Customer Personal Data is not part of the payment exchanged by the Parties under the Agreement.

In processing the Customer Personal Data, we will comply with your instructions, as described in this DPA and in the rest of the Agreement.

Security and confidentiality

You have assessed the risks involved with the processing of the Customer Personal Data in the Service, and concluded that the TOMS ensure a level of security that is appropriate to the risks involved. 

We will make sure that all our employees (and similar representatives) who have access to Customer Personal Data need to keep it confidential. 

Personal data breaches

We will notify you about any personal data breach affecting Customer Personal Data. The notice will be sent without undue delay, and at least within 48 hours of Teamtailor becoming aware of the personal data breach. The notice will be sent to the email address that you have provided for your “Privacy Manager” in the Service. 

If this information is available to us when sending the notice, the notice will include a description of: 

  • The nature of the breach, i.e. what has happened to the Customer Personal Data. 

  • What parts/type of Customer Personal Data is affected by the breach. 

  • Which categories of data subjects, and approximate number of data subjects, are affected by  the breach. 

  • Our assessment of the likely consequences of the breach. 

  • The measures that we have already taken and, if applicable, still plan to take to investigate and address the breach.

If we don’t have all of this information when first notifying you, we will execute the notification in phases - as relevant information becomes available. 

If you decide to notify a personal data breach affecting Customer Personal Data to  a Supervisory Authority, to the data subjects or the public, you will make reasonable efforts to provide us with advance copies of the notice(s), and give us an opportunity to provide any clarifications or corrections to them.

Subprocessors

We use subprocessors when providing the Service. A continuously up to date overview of the subprocessors we use, the function they perform in the Service, etc. is available in our List of Subprocessors for Aboard. 

You are aware of and instruct us to use the current subprocessors. You generally authorize us to use subprocessors when providing the Service, provided that we notify you before starting to use a new subprocessor or replacing an existing one, so that you can object to the change. 

We will notify you about a new / replaced subprocessor, and you can object to the change, using the process for material changes, as described in the Section “Changes to the Services” in the Terms. 

In case of extraordinary circumstances, for example a subprocessor’s bankruptcy or irreparable material breach of contract, we reserve the right to replace the relevant subprocessor with a shorter notice period than described above, or without any prior notice to you - but without undue delay. In that case, you can object to the use of the new subprocessor within fourteen (14) calendar days of receiving our notice, as described above. If we aren’t able to solve the issue within fourteen (14) calendar days of your objection, either Party can terminate the Agreement without any cost, penalty or liability. 

When engaging a subprocessor, we will make sure that the data protection obligations in this DPA are imposed on the subprocessor. If the subprocessor fails to fulfill these obligations, we will be liable towards you, in accordance with and subject to the limitations in this DPA.

Third Country Transfers

We are only allowed to make Third Country Transfers of Customer Personal Data when:

  • The Third Country Transfer is based on your written instruction and takes place in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Law, for example since the data exporter or the country in which it is based is subject to an adequacy decision, or by entering into the EU SCC or UK Transfer Addendum with the data importer; or when

  • We are obliged to do so by Union or Member State law, and have informed you of that legal requirement before the transfer starts, unless the relevant law prohibits us from doing so on important grounds of public interest.

Additional assistance 

Provided that we are able to do so, considering the information about and access to Customer Personal Data that we have in providing the Service, we will assist you in:

  • Providing information relevant for your data protection impact assessment and consultation with a Supervisory Authority.

  • Keeping a record of the processing activities that we do on your behalf.

  • Responding to Data Subject Requests. 

If we receive a Data Subject Request from the data subject him/herself, we will not act on it ourselves. Instead, we will encourage the data subject to contact you directly.

If you need our assistance with a Data Subject Request or any other process mentioned above, please contact our Customer Support and provide all information we need to understand the scope of the request, and assess what possibilities we have to assist in responding to it. 


Audits

We will allow you to audit our compliance with our obligations as your data processor / service provider under the Agreement. This will, as a first option, be done by providing the information and documentation that you reasonably ask for. If you think it’s necessary, we will also allow you (or another party assigned by you, provided that the other party is accepted by us and keeps the information it accesses confidential) to inspect our processing of the Customer Personal Data. 

You can request an audit once per year, for which each Party will cover its own costs. Additional audits (exceeding one per year) can also be requested, at your sole cost. 

Unless an audit is requested by a Supervisory Authority (in which case the circumstances will be adjusted to the Supervisory Authority’s request), you need to provide written notice thirty (30) days in advance of the audit. The audit will be conducted during our normal business hours. It will not involve physical access to the servers on which the Service is hosted; not involve disclosure of commercially sensitive parts of the agreements with our subprocessors; and must be performed so that it doesn’t compromise the security of our systems or premises.

All audits need to be performed in a way that complies with Applicable Data Protection law. We will immediately inform you if we believe that your instruction in connection with an audit doesn’t fulfill this requirement.  

Liability

To the extent permitted under Applicable Data Protection Law and other applicable laws, our liability towards you under this DPA is limited to what is described in the Section “Limitation of Liability” in the terms and conditions of the Agreement . 

Erasure and return of Customer Personal Data 

When the Agreement is terminated, you should - within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Agreement -  instruct us to return and/or destroy all Customer Personal Data from the Service. We will comply with this instruction as soon as reasonably practicable, and at least sixty (60) days after the termination of the Agreement. 

If you have not requested erasure or return of the Customer Personal Data within those thirty (30) days, we will delete all Customer Personal Data as soon as reasonably practicable, and at least sixty (60) days after the termination of the Agreement.

Appendix 2  - TOMS

The following document contains TOMs as implemented by the Supplier.

Measures to Ensure Confidentiality (Art. 32 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR)

Physical access control

Personal Data is stored in physical data centers certified according to ISO 27001. Physical access to the data center facilities is strictly controlled and limited to selected staff at the hosting provider. Protection against environmental hazards such as heat, fire and water damage is in place. There is no unauthorized physical access to data centers.

Logical access control

There is no unauthorized access to data processing systems. Logical access controls are designed to manage access to information and system functionality based on authority levels and job functions (granting access on a need-to-know and least privilege basis). All users have unique IDs and passwords, MFA is used where possible, granted system access is reviewed regularly and access is revoked/changed when employment terminates or changes in job functions occur. The Supplier’s staff do not access or interact with customer data as part of normal operations. Access is restricted to selected staff. All endpoint devices use strong passwords, local firewalls, automatic time based locking and encrypted storage.

Separation of control

Personal Data is processed in dedicated systems that are not shared with other services, applications, or corporate entities. Production and test environments are separated and do not share any data. Within individual databases, data is segregated with logical access control. Personal Data is not used for purposes other than what it has been collected for.

Human resource security

All employees and contractors are bound by confidentiality, non-disclosure provisions and undergo continuous security awareness training. Onboarding, offboarding procedures are in place. Segregation of duties is applied where it is practically possible.

Measures to Ensure integrity (Art. 32 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR)

Transfer control

All communication, over the internet and on internal networks, are encrypted with at least TLS version 1.2. Data stored in the Supplier application is encrypted at rest with at least file-system level encryption.

Change management

Change management procedures and tracking mechanisms are in place to test, approve and track all material changes to the Supplier’s platform. All changes are peer reviewed.

System monitoring

Application and infrastructure events are logged, monitored and automatically analysed to record and detect divergent user access and system activity. Logs are protected from loss and manipulation.

Measures to Ensure Availability and Resilience (Art. 32 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR)

Resilience

The Supplier’s infrastructure and components are designed to withstand intermittent and as well as high constant loads. Vulnerability screening, patch management and anti-malware protection are implemented to prevent, identify and mitigate against identified security threats, viruses and other malicious code.

Measures to Quickly Restore the Availability of Personal Data after a Physical or Technical Incident (Art. 32 para. 1 lit. c of the GDPR)

Disaster recovery plan

Disaster recovery plans are designed to maintain service and/or recovery from foreseeable emergencies or disasters. Backups are stored off-site, immutable and encrypted. Restore tests are done at least every 6 month.

Incident management

Incident management procedures are in place to ensure a systematic approach to identify, mitigate, learn and report incidents related to our technology and information assets.

Procedures for periodical review, assessment, and evaluation (Art. 32 para. 1 lit. d of the GDPR; Art. 25 para. 1 of the GDPR)

The Supplier runs an information security program with dedicated staff responsible for the development, implementation and maintenance of the program. 

Information risk assessments are used to systematically evaluate threats and vulnerabilities in terms of the impact they could imply and the probability to occur. Such assessments are performed at least annually or at major business changes.
