The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) is a regulation in the European Union (EU) law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within EU. It comes into effect on May 25, 2018 and applies to all organizations which collect, store and/or process EU personal data.
At Certify, we value privacy and transparency and we want to let our customer know that Certify has taken complete measures to comply with these regulations. To that end we have created this Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") which describes our data processing practices.
This DPA forms a part of the Tallie Terms of Use Agreement found at Terms And Conditions, unless customer has entered into a superseding written Terms of Use Agreement, in which case, it forms a part of such written agreement (in either case, the "Agreement"). The customer enters into this DPA on behalf of itself and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, in the name and on behalf of its Company Affiliates (defined below). Parties agree to comply with the terms and conditions in this DPA in connection with the Personal Data Tallie may Process.
This Data Processing Addendum, including its Schedules and Appendices ("DPA") forms part of the Terms and Conditions or other written or electronic agreement for the purchase of Emburse services (the "Agreement"). This DPA applies to Personal Data processed by Emburse and its Subprocessors in connection with its provision of the Service.
By signing the Agreement, Customer enters into this DPA on behalf of itself and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, if and to the extent Emburse processes Personal Data for which such Authorized Affiliates qualify as the Controller. For purposes of this DPA only, and except where indicated otherwise, the term "Customer" shall include Customer and Authorized Affiliates. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Agreement.
If in the course of providing the Services to Customer pursuant to the Agreement, Emburse may Process Personal Data on behalf of Customer and the parties agree to comply with the following provisions with respect to any Personal Data, each acting reasonably and in good faith. For purposes of this DPA, the Emburse entity that is the party to the executed Order Form with Customer is the party to this DPA.
Emburse and its Sub-processors shall take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of any employee, agent or contractor who have access to Personal Data, ensuring in each case that access is strictly limited to those individuals who need to know or have access to the relevant Personal Data. Emburse shall ensure all such individuals are subject to confidentiality undertakings or professional or statutory obligations of confidentiality. Emburse and its Sub-processors will regularly train personnel having access to Personal Data in applicable data security and data privacy measures.
Emburse shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify Customer if Emburse receives a request from a Data Subject to exercise the Data Subject’s rights of access, rectification, restriction of Processing, erasure ("right to be forgotten"), data portability, or objection to the Processing (each a "Data Subject Request") without itself responding to such request. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Emburse shall reasonably cooperate with Customer and Controllers in dealing with Data Subject Requests by appropriate technical and organizational measures, in so far as this is possible.
If, pursuant to Data Protection Law, Emburse shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to fulfill Controller’s obligation to carry out a data protection impact assessment, or prior consultation with a Supervisory Authority, which are required under the GDPR or equivalent provisions of any other Data Protection Law solely in relation to Customer’s use of the Service and to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information and such information is available to Emburse.
Should any provision of this DPA be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this DPA shall remain valid and in force. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be either (i) amended as necessary to ensure its validity and enforceability, while preserving the parties’ intentions as closely as possible or, if this is not possible, (ii) construed in a manner as if the invalid or unenforceable part had never been contained therein.
