(b) you shall be the controller of and Ansarada shall be a processor of Content Data (unless (i) Ansarada is processing Content Data to comply with its own obligations under Applicable Law, or (ii) unless you are acting as a processor of Content Data on behalf of a third party, in which case you shall be a processor and Ansarada shall be sub-processor of the Content Data, but for the purposes of this Schedule you shall be treated as a controller and Ansarada shall be treated as a processor).
3. Controller obligations
3.1 Whenever a Party is acting in a capacity as a controller in relation to personal data, it shall comply in all respects with Data Protection Law in respect of such personal data, including:
(a) by processing personal data fairly and lawfully;
(b) by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data against Data Security Incidents;
(c) by obtaining any consents required for its processing of personal data, particularly where sensitive personal data or special categories of personal data are processed; and
(d) by complying with its obligations with respect to data subject rights in relation to the personal data.
3.2 As the controller with respect to Content Data:
(a) you accept full responsibility for obtaining all consents necessary for, and otherwise for having lawfully grounds to process, Content Data that is processed in connection with Ansarada’s performance of the Ansarada Services.;
(b) you confirm you have complied with your obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws in your engagement of Ansarada for the Ansarada Services; and
(c) you warrant on an ongoing basis that your instructions, and therefore the carrying out of the processing by us, comply with applicable Data Protection Laws.
4. Processor obligations
Where Ansarada is processing personal data on your behalf, whether as a processor or sub-processor, but not as a controller or joint controller, the following provisions shall apply:
4.1 Purpose limitation
Ansarada shall process the personal data as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement (the “Permitted Purpose”). In no event shall Ansarada process the personal data for its own purposes or those of any third party.
4.2 Documented instructions
Ansarada shall process the personal data only on documented instructions from you, which include: (a) the instructions set out in this agreement; and (b) your instructions specified via your use of the Ansarada Services (including account admin and other functionalities of the Products), and shall immediately inform you if it cannot process in accordance with your instructions because, in its opinion, the instruction infringes Applicable Law (unless such notice is prohibited by Applicable Law on important grounds of public interest).
4.3 Categories of personal data
The Parties agree that this Agreement sets out the categories of personal data, including Content Data, that are processed in connection with this Agreement. It is the controller’s responsibility to determine if any further details of Ansarada’s processing of such personal data need to be recorded in this Agreement to comply with Data Protection Law and Ansarada shall act in good faith to cooperate with any reasonable request to do so.
4.4 Confidentiality of processing
Ansarada shall ensure that any person that it authorises to process the personal data (including Ansarada’s staff, agents and sub-processors) (each an “Authorised Person”) shall be under an obligation (whether under contract or statute) to keep the personal data confidential.
4.5 Security
Ansarada shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data from Data Security Incidents. Such measures shall have regard to the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
4.6 Sub-processing
Ansarada shall be authorised to engage third parties to process personal data on behalf of the controller, provided that it notifies you of such engagement (each, an “Authorised Sub-Processor”). A list of Authorised Sub-Processors can be found at https://www.ansarada.com/subprocessors. Ansarada may change and update this list from time to time and you should check it regularly. You are given notice of all Authorised Sub-Processors on this list. This Agreement is a general written authorisation by the you to allow Ansarada to use the Authorised Sub-Processors to process personal data. Ansarada will ensure that there is in place a written contract between Ansarada and each Authorised Sub-Processor that specifies the Authorised Sub-Processor’s processing activities and imposes on the Authorised Sub-Processor equivalent terms as those imposed on Ansarada in this clause 4 (in the case of clause 4.12 subject to the provisions relating to Authorised Sub-Processors set out in that clause). Ansarada will remain responsible for the acts and omissions of Authorised Sub-Processors in respect of their processing of personal data as if they were its own. Where Ansarada is instructed by you to grant access to personal data to a third party who is contracted to you (a “Contracted Third Party”), the Contracted Third Party shall not be a sub-processor of Ansarada for the purposes of this clause 4.6 and you shall have sole responsibility for putting in place an appropriate data processing agreement with the Contracted Third Party that complies with Data Protection Law.
4.7 Cooperation
(a) Ansarada shall:
(i) taking into account the nature of the processing, assist you by appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the controller’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising data subjects’ rights, provided that Ansarada shall not be required to comply with any requests to access, amend, update, erase or restrict processing of any Content Data to the extent that you can access, amend, update, erase or restrict the processing of the Content Data using the functionality and settings made available in connection with the Ansarada Services;
(ii) assist the controller in implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures against Data Security Incidents, completing data protection impact assessments and notifying Data Security Incidents to the competent supervisory authority or to the data subjects concerned, as required by Data Protection Law and taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Ansarada.
(b) If compliance with this clause 4.7 or provisions referencing this clause 4.7 requires: (i) a change to the Ansarada Services, (ii) a change to this Agreement, or (iii) the expenditure of material effort or cost that is not provided in this Agreement, then either Party may raise this in accordance with the change control procedure or, in the absence of any such change control procedure, by discussing the same in good faith. For avoidance of doubt, Ansarada shall not be required to provide any assistance under this clause 4.7 that would result in any change or expenditure referred to in paragraph (i) to (iii) of this clause 4.7, except if and to the extent that a suitable change is agreed to this Agreement.
4.8 Data protection impact assessments

(a) Upon becoming aware of a Data Security Incident, Ansarada shall inform you without undue delay and shall provide such timely information and assistance in accordance with clause 4.7 as you may reasonably require in order to fulfil your data breach reporting obligations under Data Protection Law and to mitigate the effects of the Data Security Incident.

Ansarada shall be entitled to render such charges or recover such costs associated with destroying or returning personal data to the controller or joint controller (as appropriate) as provided in this Agreement or, if no such charges or costs are provided in this Agreement, such reasonable costs that Ansarada can evidence.
4.11 Deletion or return of personal data
Upon termination or expiry of this Agreement, Ansarada shall (at the other Party’s election) destroy or return to the other Party all personal data (including all copies of the personal data) in its possession or control (including any personal data that is processed by an Authorised Sub-Processor) or alternatively make such facilities available to you using the functionality or settings for the Ansarada Services to enable you to delete the personal data in question. This requirement shall not apply to the extent that Ansarada is required by any Applicable Law to retain some or all of the personal data, in which event Ansarada shall isolate and protect the personal data from any further processing except to the extent required by such Applicable Law. Ansarada shall be entitled to render such charges or recover such costs associated with destroying or returning personal data to the controller or joint controller (as appropriate) as provided in the Agreement or, if no such charges or costs are provided in the Agreement, such reasonable costs that Ansarada can evidence.
4.12 Information and audit
Ansarada shall make available to you all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set out in this clause 4 and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the controller or another auditor mandated by the controller, except if and to the extent that providing such information or permitting such an audit would place Ansarada in breach of Applicable Law or cause it to infringe the rights (including rights in intellectual property or confidential information) of any of Ansarada’s other customers. No more than one audit may be carried out in any calendar year, except if and when required by instruction of a competent data protection authority. Ansarada shall be entitled to recover its costs of complying with this clause 4.12. Where Ansarada has appointed a third party auditor to assess any of its technical or organisational measures to protect against Data Security Incidents for the purposes of any industry certification or otherwise (such as ISO 27001 compliance), Ansarada may share a copy of the auditor’s certificate and an executive summary of its findings. Ansarada shall not be required to comply with any requests for Content Data to the extent that such Content Data can be accessed using the Ansarada Services or the functionality or settings made available by Ansarada.
5. International transfers
5.1 The Parties acknowledge that Ansarada is located in a territory outside of the EEA and the United Kingdom that is not an Adequate Territory under the GDPR or the UK GDPR. Any personal data transfer from the EEA to a location outside the EEA in a country or territory that is not an Adequate Territory, shall be subject to the Model Clauses (Module I: Controller to Controller when Ansarada is controller, and Module II: Controller to Processor when Ansarada is processor). Any personal data transfer from the UK to a location outside the UK in a country or territory that is not an Adequate Territory, shall be subject to the Model Clauses as amended by the UK International Data Transfer Addendum. For the purposes of the Model Clauses, the Parties acknowledge and agree as follows:
(a) you will be the data exporter and will be deemed to have entered into the Model Clauses in its own name and on its own behalf in relation to the personal data disclosed to Ansarada;
(b) Ansarada will be deemed to have entered into the Model Clauses in its own name and on its own behalf in relation to the personal data disclosed to it by you and shall also be deemed to have entered into the Model Clauses on behalf of any related entities in its corporate group that are also located in a territory outside of the European Economic Area or UK that is not an Adequate Territory;
(c) the descriptions of the categories of personal data that are transferred in this agreement shall be incorporated based on the definitions in this agreement (that is, CRM Data, User Data and Content Data, as appropriate);
(d) the provisions of any security measures agreed in the agreement will be deemed to be set out in the Model Clauses;
(e) any optional illustrative indemnification clause will be deemed to have been deleted; and
(f) where and to the extent that the Model Clauses apply pursuant to this clause 5, if there is any conflict between this agreement and the Model Clauses, the Model Clauses will prevail.
5.2 Where Ansarada is acting as a processor, it shall not permit any onward transfer of personal data to a third country located outside the EEA or the UK (other than the place in which Ansarada is established) unless:
(a) Ansarada first puts in place adequate transfer mechanisms to ensure the transfer is in compliance with Data Protection Law;
(b) Ansarada or the relevant Authorised Sub-Processor is required to transfer the personal data to comply with Applicable Law, in which case Ansarada will notify you of such legal requirement prior to such transfer unless such Applicable Law prohibits such notice from being given to you;
(c) Ansarada is entitled to rely on a permitted derogation under Data Protection Law in order to transfer the personal data outside of the EEA or the UK, which may include circumstances where (among other things): (i) the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request; (ii) the transfer is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract concluded in the interest of the data subject between the controller and another person; or (iii) the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
(d) it is instructed by the Customer to do, including through the Customer, or its authorized users accessing the Content Data from such a third country, it being understood and acknowledged that in that case, it is the sole responsibility of the Customer to ensure compliance of the resulting international transfer with Data Protection Law.
5.3 Ansarada will be able to use the United Kingdom’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses as a transfer mechanism to comply with the requirement under Article 46 of the UK GDPR to provide appropriate safeguards for personal data when it is transferred from the United Kingdom to countries which are not covered by the United Kingdom’s adequacy regulations. For the avoidance of doubt: The United Kingdom has adequacy regulations in relation to the EEA. This Addendum can be found in Annex IV.
5.4 For the purposes of clause 5.2(a), the adequate transfer mechanisms may include: (i) transferring the personal data to a recipient in an Adequate Territory, (ii) transferring the personal data to a recipient that has achieved binding corporate rules authorisation in accordance with Data Protection Law, or (iii) transferring the personal data to a recipient that has executed the Model Clauses necessary for the relevant transfer to comply with Data Protection Law.
