2. For purposes of this Agreement, Customer and Grapevine agree that Customer is the “Controller” of the Personal Data and Grapevine is the “Processor” of such data.

3. Taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the Controller shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that Processing is performed in accordance with the GDPR. Those measures shall include the implementation of appropriate data protection policies by the Controller. The measures shall be reviewed and updated where necessary.

4. In accordance with GDPR Article 28(1), Processor represents that it has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that its Processing of Personal Data will meet the requirements of the GDPR and ensure the protection of the rights of the data subjects.

5. In accordance with GDPR Article 28(2), the Processor shall not engage any Subprocessor without prior authorization of Customer.

6. In accordance with GDPR Article 28(3), the following terms are incorporated by reference into the Agreement:

(a) The Processor shall only process the Personal Data (i) as needed to provide the Services, (ii) in accordance with the specific reasonable instructions that it has received from Customer, including with regard to any Transfers, and (iii) as needed to comply with law (in which case, the Processor shall provide prior notice to Customer of such legal requirement, unless that law prohibits this disclosure);

(b) Processor shall ensure that persons authorized to process the Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality;

(c) Processor shall take all security measures required by GDPR Article 32, namely:

i. Taking into account 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, the Processor shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including inter alia as appropriate: (a) the pseudonymisation and encryption of Personal Data; (b) the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services; (c) the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; (d) a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing;

ii. In assessing the appropriate level of security account shall be taken in particular of the risks that are presented by processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

iii. The Processor shall take steps to ensure that any natural person acting under the authority of the Processor who has access to Personal Data does not process them except on instructions from Customer, unless he or she is required to do so by EEA Member State law.

(h) The Processor shall immediately inform Customer if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes the GDPR other Union or Member State data protection provisions. (The parties acknowledge that Processor relies on Customer to verify that the instructions given by Customer with respect to the Processing comply with applicable laws.)

7. The Processor shall not Transfer any Personal Data (and shall not permit its Subprocessors to Transfer any Personal Data) without the prior consent of Customer. The Processor understands that Customer must approve and document that adequate protection for the Personal Data will exist after the Transfer, using contracts that provide sufficient guarantees (such as standard contractual clauses) unless another legal basis for the Transfer exists.

8. The Processor will promptly and thoroughly investigate all allegations of unauthorized access to, use or disclosure of the Personal Data. Processor will notify Customer without undue delay of any Personal Data Breach.

9. The Processor shall maintain all records required by Article 30(2) of the GDPR, and (to the extent they are applicable to Processor’s activities for Customer) Processor shall make them available to Customer upon request.
