OBLIGATIONS OF PROCESSOR

  • COMPLIANCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS: The parties acknowledge and agree that Customer is the Controller of Personal Data and Wheebox is the Processor of that data. Processor shall process and use the Personal Data only within the scope of Controller's Instructions. If the Processor believes that an Instruction of the Controller infringes the EU Data Protection Laws, it shall immediately inform the Controller without delay. If Processor cannot process Personal Data in accordance with the Instructions due to a legal requirement under the EU Data Protection Laws, Processor will (i) promptly notify the Controller of that legal requirement before the relevant Processing to the extent permitted by the EU Data Protection Laws; and (ii) cease all Processing (other than merely storing and maintaining the security of the affected Personal Data) until such time as the Controller issues new Instructions with which Processor is able to comply. If this provision is invoked, Processor will not be liable to the Controller under the Agreement for any failure to perform the Services until such time as the Controller issues new Instructions in regard to the Processing.
  • SECURITY: Processor shall take the appropriate technical and organizational measures to adequately protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data, described under Appendix 2 to the Standard Contractual Clauses. Such measures include, but are not be limited to:
    • 1. The prevention of unauthorized persons from gaining access to Personal Data Processing systems (physical access control).
      2. The prevention of Personal Data Processing systems from being used without authorization (logical access control).
      3. Ensuring that persons entitled to use a Personal Data Processing system gain access only to such Personal Data as they are entitled to accessing and for the time period as required in accordance with their access rights, and that, in the course of Processing or use and after storage, Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified or deleted without authorization (data access control)
      4. Ensuring that Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified or deleted without authorization during electronic transmission, transport or storage on storage media, and that the target entities for any transfer of Personal Data by means of data transmission facilities can be established and verified (data transfer control)
      5. Ensuring the establishment of an audit trail to document whether and by whom Personal Data has been entered, modified or removed from Personal Data Processing systems (entry control)
      6. Ensuring that Personal Data is Processed solely in accordance with the Instructions (control of instructions), and
      7. Ensuring that Personal Data is protected against accidental destruction or loss (availability control).

    Processor will also facilitate Controller's compliance with the Controller's obligation to implement security measures with respect to Personal Data under the EU Data Protection laws.

  • Processor shall ensure that any personnel whom Processor authorizes to process Personal Data on its behalf is subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to that Personal Data. The undertaking to confidentiality shall continue after the termination of the Processing activities.
  • PERSONAL DATA BREACHES: Processor will notify the Controller as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of any Personal Data Breach affecting any Personal Data. At the Controller's request, Processor will promptly provide the Controller with all reasonable assistance necessary to enable the Controller to notify relevant Personal Data Breaches to competent authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, if Controller is required to do so under the Data Protection Law. Processor shall also take necessary actions to mitigate the effects of Personal Data Breaches and prevent the recurrence of such breaches.
  • DATA SUBJECT REQUESTS: Processor will provide reasonable assistance, including by appropriate technical and organizational measures and taking into account the nature of the Processing, to enable Controller to respond to any request from Data Subjects seeking to exercise their rights under the EU Data Protection Laws with respect to Personal Data (including access, rectification, restriction, deletion or portability of Personal Data, as applicable), to the extent permitted by the law. If such request is made directly to Processor, Processor will promptly inform Controller and will advise Data Subjects to submit their request to the Controller. Controller shall be solely responsible for responding to any Data Subjects' requests. Controller shall reimburse Processor for the costs arising from this assistance.
  • SUB-PROCESSORS
    • 1. Processor shall be entitled to engage sub-Processors to fulfil Processor's obligations defined in the Agreement only with Controller's written consent. For these purposes, Controller consents to the engagement as sub-Processors of Processor's affiliated companies and the third parties listed in Appendix 3. For the avoidance of doubt, the above authorization constitutes Controller's prior written consent to the sub-Processing by Processor for purposes of Clause 11 of the Standard Contractual Clauses.
      2. If the Processor intends to instruct sub-Processors other than its affiliates or the companies listed in Appendix 3, the Processor will notify the Controller thereof in writing (email to the email address(es) on record in Processor's account information for Controller is sufficient) and will give the Controller the opportunity to object to the engagement of the new sub-Processors within 30 days after being notified. The objection must be based on reasonable grounds (e.g. if the Controller proves that significant risks for the protection of its Personal Data exist at the sub-Processor). If the Processor and Controller are unable to resolve such objection, either party may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to the other party.
      3. Where Processor engages sub-Processors, Processor will enter into a contract with the sub-Processor that imposes on the sub-Processor the same obligations that apply to Processor under this DPA. Where the sub-Processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, Processor will remain liable to the Controller for the performance of such sub-Processor's obligations.
      4. Where a sub-Processor is engaged, the Controller must be granted the right to monitor and inspect the sub-Processor's activities in accordance with this DPA and the EU Data Protection Laws, including to obtain information from the Processor, upon written request, on the substance of the contract and the implementation of the data protection obligations under the sub-Processing contract, where necessary by inspecting the relevant contract documents.
      5. The provisions of this Section 4 (f) shall apply if the Processor engages a sub-Processor in a country outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for Processing of Personal Data. If, in the performance of this DPA, Wheebox transfers any Personal Data to a sub-Processor located outside of the EEA, Wheebox shall, in advance of any such transfer, ensure that requisite safeguards are in place in respect of that Processing.
  • DATA TRANSFERS: Controller acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with the performance of the Services, Personal Data will be transferred to Wheebox servers outside the EEA. The Standard Contractual Clauses at Exhibit 1 will apply with respect to Personal Data that is transferred outside the EEA, either directly or via onward transfer, to any country not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data (as described in the EU Data Protection Laws).
  • DELETION OR RETRIEVAL OF PERSONAL DATA:
    • 1. Other than to the extent required to comply with EU Data Protection Laws or any other laws to which the Processor is subject, Processor will delete all Personal Data (including copies thereof) processed pursuant to this DPA upon completion of a period of 30 (thirty) days following termination or expiry of the Agreement. If Processor is unable to delete Personal Data for technical or other reasons, Processor will apply measures to ensure that Personal Data is blocked from any further Processing.
      2. Controller shall, upon termination or expiration of the Agreement and by way of issuing an Instruction, stipulate, within the aforesaid period of 30 (thirty) days, reasonable measures to return Personal Data or to delete stored Personal Data. Any additional cost arising in connection with the return or deletion of Personal Data after the termination or expiration of the Agreement shall be borne by Controller.
  • AUDITS
    • 1. Controller may, prior to the commencement of Processing, and at regular intervals thereafter, audit the technical and organizational measures taken by Processor. The cost associated with such audit, including cost of professional services from any third party, will be completely borne by the Controller. For such purpose, Controller may, e.g.,
      • obtain information from the Processor;
      • request Processor to submit to Controller an existing attestation or certificate by an independent professional expert; or
      • upon reasonable and timely advance agreement, during regular business hours and without interrupting Processor's business operations, conduct an on-site inspection of Processor's business operations or have the same conducted by a qualified third party which shall not be a competitor of Processor.
      2. Processor shall, upon Controller's written request and within a reasonable period of time, provide Controller with all information necessary for such audit, to the extent that such information is within Processor's control and Processor is not precluded from disclosing it by applicable law, a duty of confidentiality, or any other obligation owed to a third party.
  • INDEMNIFICATION
    • Controller shall defend, indemnify and hold Wheebox harmless against any claims, losses, damage, liabilities, expenses and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees), including against any claims by Data Subjects or actions by supervisory authorities under the EU Data Protection Laws, that Processor may incur or be subject to in relation to the Processing of Personal Data (i) so long as Processor is Processing the Personal Data as per the Instructions received; or (ii) where such claims, losses, damage, liabilities, expenses and costs have arisen due to Controller's breach of EU Data Protection Laws.
  • GENERAL PROVISIONS
    • 1. General provisions of the Agreement shall, in so far as they are not inconsistent herewith, apply to this DPA.
      2. In case of any conflict between the terms of this DPA and the Agreement, the terms of this DPA shall take precedence in so far as the subject matter to which it relates. Where individual provisions of this DPA are invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this DPA shall not be affected.

The authorization model in each of Wheebox's products is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access relevant features, views, and customization options. Authorization to data sets is performed through validating the user's permissions against the attributes associated with each data set.Application Programming Interface (API) access: Public product APIs may be accessed over secured socket layer (SSL) or Transport Layered Security (TLS) based HTTPS using and security API key only.
        . Preventing Unauthorized Product Use
        Wheebox implements industry standard access controls and detection capabilities for the internal networks that support its products. Access controls: Network access control mechanisms are designed to prevent network traffic using unauthorized protocols from reaching the product infrastructure. The technical measures implemented differ between infrastructure providers and include Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) implementations, security group assignment, and traditional firewall rules. Intrusion detection and prevention: As part of its commitment to protecting customer data and websites, access to Wheebox is aligned with best practice guidelines documented by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) in the OWASP Top 10 and similar recommendations. Protections from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are also incorporated, helping to ensure that customers' sites and other parts of the Wheebox products are available continuously. Wheebox is configured with a combination of industry standard and custom rules that are capable of automatically enabling and disabling appropriate controls to best protect our customers. We employ tools that actively monitor real-time traffic at the application layer with ability to alert or deny malicious behavior based on behavior type and rate.Static code analysis: Security reviews of code stored in Wheebox's source code repositories is performed, checking for coding best practices and identifiable software flaws. Penetration testing: Wheebox maintains relationships with industry recognized penetration testing service providers for penetration tests. The intent of the penetration tests is to identify and resolve foreseeable attack vectors and potential abuse scenarios.
        .Limitations of Privilege & Authorization Requirements Product access: A subset of Wheebox's employees have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to a subset of employees is to provide effective customer support, to troubleshoot potential problems, to detect and respond to security incidents and implement data security. Access is enabled through "just in time" requests for access; all such requests are logged.Background checks: All Wheebox employees undergo a third-party background check prior to being extended an employment offer, in accordance with the applicable laws. All employees are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with company guidelines, non-disclosure requirements, and ethical standards.
  • Transmission Control
    • In-transit: Wheebox makes HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) available on every one of its login interfaces. Wheebox's HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.

      All sensitive interactions with the Wheebox products (e.g., API calls, login, authenticated sessions to the customer's portal, etc.) are encrypted in-transit with TLS 1.2.

      Certain information is encrypted or hashed at rest, based on the sensitivity of the information. For instance, user passwords are hashed. Contact Data like Candidate information is encrypted at rest. Other information, like public web content, images, documents are not encrypted at rest.


  • Input Control
    • Detection: Wheebox designed its infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behavior, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregated log data and alert appropriate employees of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities. Wheebox personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel, are responsive to known incidents.

      Response and tracking: Wheebox maintains a security incident response and tracking mechanism. Suspected and confirmed security incidents are investigated by security, operations, or support personnel; and appropriate resolution steps are identified and documented. For any confirmed incidents, Wheebox will take appropriate steps to minimize product and Customer damage or unauthorized disclosure.

      Communication: If Wheebox becomes aware of unlawful access to customer data stored within its products, Wheebox will: 1) notify the affected customers of the incident; 2) provide a description of the steps Wheebox is taking to resolve the incident; and 3) provide status updates to the Customer contact, as Wheebox deems necessary. Notification(s) of incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of the Customer's contacts in a form Wheebox selects, which may include via email or telephone.

    • Wheebox maintains business continuity and disaster recovery plans focusing both on preventing outage through redundancy of telecommunications, systems and business operations, and on rapid recovery strategies in the event of an availability or performance issue. Whenever customer-impacting situations occur, Wheebox's goal is to quickly and transparently isolate and address the issue. Identified issues are published on Wheebox's status site and are subsequently updated until the issue is resolved.

      Business continuity testing is part of Wheebox normal processing. Wheebox recovery processes are validated continuously through normal maintenance and support processes. We follow continuous deployment principles and create or destroy many server instances as part of our regular daily maintenance and growth. We also use those procedures to recover from impaired instances and other failures, allowing us to practice our recovery process every day.

      Wheebox primarily relies on infrastructure redundancy, real time replication and backups. All Wheebox product services are built with full redundancy. Server infrastructure is strategically distributed across 2 distinct availability zones within our data center provider.

      Wheebox ensures data is replicated and backed up in multiple durable data-stores. The retention period of backups depends on the nature of the data. Data is also replicated across data-center availability zones in order to provide fault-tolerance within an availability zone as well as scalability and responsive recovery, when necessary. In addition, the following policies have been implemented and enforced for data resilience:

      • . Customer (production) data is backed up leveraging multiple online replicas of data for immediate data protection. All production databases have no less than 1 primary (master) and 1 replica (slave) copy of the data live at any given point in time. Ten days' worth of backups are kept for any database in a way that ensures restoration can occur easily.
        . Because we leverage private cloud services for hosting, backup and recovery, Wheebox does not implement physical infrastructure or physical storage media within its products. Wheebox does also not generally produce or use other kinds of hard copy media (e.g., paper, tape, etc.) as part of making our products available to our customers.
        . By default, all backups will be protected through access control restrictions on Wheebox product infrastructure networks, access control lists on the file systems storing the backup files and/or through database security protections.
