DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM

In this Addendum, the following words and expressions have the following meanings:

2.1 In order to provide services under the MSA and enable the Controller to access and use the TalentLyft Platform, the Processor may Process Personal Data on behalf of the Controller. This Addendum is therefore incorporated into the MSA and regulates the rights and obligations between the Parties in relation to such Processing of Personal Data.

2.2 The scope of Processing and the Controller's Personal Data involved in such Processing is specified in Appendix No. 1 hereto. By using the TalentLyft Platform for his business purposes, the Controller sets and controls the purpose of Processing this Personal Data. Any further reference to Personal Data means solely Personal Data described in Appendix no. 1 hereto unless explicitly stated otherwise.

2.3 In case of changes to the TalentLyft Platform that have an effect on the categories of Personal Data being Processed, the Processor is to inform the Controller about the changes upfront and provide the updated Appendix No. 1.

3.1 The Controller is to ensure an adequate legal basis for Processing Personal Data and that the Data Subjects are duly informed about the Processing. The controller should use the TalentLyft Platform for Processing Personal Data only when these conditions are met.

3.2 In the absence of separate Instructions, the Controller agrees they shall be Processed in a manner consistent with the functioning of the TalentLyft Platform, i.e. as described in the General Terms of Use and/or other documentation for the TalentLyft Platform (e.g. FAQs).

3.3 Controller has the right at any point in time to independently execute corrections, deletion and/or transfer of the Personal Data or, if it cannot, request the same from the Processor.

4.1 Processor accepts all the duties foreseen for the processors in the Regulation, Article 28 and which are in more detail explained hereafter.

4.2 Processor undertakes to Process Personal Data solely for the purposes foreseen by the MSA. The processor will apply the technical and organizational measures stated in Point 5 below to this Processing.

4.3 Processor may be in a position of a separate controller in case when he has separate legal basis for Processing Personal Data. For example when Processing Personal Data is necessary to achieve any of the following:

4.4 Processor undertakes to reasonably support Controller, on his request, in complying with the provisions of the Regulation. In particular, in case of any of the Data Subject's requests which may include, but are not limited to, any requests regarding the access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and transfer of Personal Data of an individual Data Subject, the Processor will forward any such request to Controller without delay and in case Controller seeks assistance with any such request, Processor will respond no later than within the next 3 (three) working days.

4.5 Processor has obliged all its employees, and other persons involved in Processing Personal Data to maintain the confidentiality of Personal Data on a permanent basis. Processor undertakes to inform its employees and all other persons involved in the Processing of Personal Data about its obligations hereunder.

4.6 In case of a suspected or established Personal Data Breach, the Processor shall notify the Controller without delay, no later than within the next 24 (twenty-four) hours. The notification will include information on the time and nature of the event (including information on Data Subjects, data in question, categories of Personal Data, and an estimated number of Data Subjects impacted by the Personal Data Breach), system and processing, time of detection, potential consequences as well as measures taken or proposed by Processor to resolve or reduce the impact of the Personal Data Breach. Processor shall analyze and document the cause of the Personal Data Breach immediately after becoming aware of it and submit it to Controller upon his request.

4.7 The Controller has the right to audit the Processing of Personal Data conducted within the TalentLyft Platform once in every 24 (twenty-four) months, and always upon the request of a national data protection supervisory authority. In order to exercise his right to audit, the Controller shall notify the Processor of the planned audit in writing. Within 15 (fifteen) days of receiving such a request, the Processor shall respond to the Controller and enable him to conduct an audit. Controller undertakes to complete the audit within 15 (fifteen) days from the day of its commencement. The controller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of the audit, including any expenses incurred by the Processor in connection with the audit unless otherwise agreed in writing.

5.1 Processor guarantees that it has carried out and continues to carry out the appropriate technical and organizational measures so that the Processing meets the standards set by the Regulation and in particular the requirements listed in Appendix No. 2.

5.2 Processor has the right to update Appendix No. 2 at any time during the term of this Addendum, with prior notice sent to Controller at least 60 (sixty) days in advance. If the Controller is unable or unwilling to accept the Processor's updates, he has the right to terminate the MSA and this Addendum before the amendments enter into force.

6.1 Processor is hereby given general authorization by Controller to engage sub-processors to Process Personal Data. The list of the approved sub-processors is provided in Appendix No. 3. The Controller is informed that the sub-processors under Section “Integral” are necessary for TalentLyft Platform to duly operate while sub-processors under Section “Optional” will process Personal Data only if and when Controller decides to use the relevant function/module of the TalentLyft Platform.

6.2 Processor did and does regular data privacy impact assessments of its sub-processors and the way they Process this Personal Data. Only if such assessment shows low risk resulting from this Processing, will the Processor engage or continue to engage the relevant sub-processors.

6.3 Processor and sub-processors enter into separate agreements governing the Processing of Personal Data. Thereby the sub-processors accept at least the same level of care in relation to the Personal Data as foreseen by this Addendum (in part in which it refers to the Processor).

6.4 Processor reserves the right to amend the appointed sub-processors (replace the existing ones or add new ones) by amending Appendix No. 3 and notifying the Controller about these amendments in advance. Within the next 14 days, the Controller has the right to object to the intended amendments in case he believes that one or more of the new sub-processors are unable to guarantee the same level of protection. If no objection is filed, it shall be deemed that the Controller agreed with the amendments i.e. approved the new list of the sub-processors. In case the Controller does not waive his lodged objection or the Parties do not resolve the objection otherwise, the Processor has the right to terminate the MSA and this Addendum.

7.1 Processor shall not transfer or provide access to Personal Data to persons located in third countries (non-EU and EEA countries) without obtaining the prior written consent of Controller. It is deemed that the Controller gave his prior written consent for the transfer to any sub-processor listed in Appendix No. 3.

7.2 If the Controller is located outside the EEA or otherwise instructs the Processor to transfer the Personal Data outside the EEA, the Standard Contractual Clauses – Module 4 (“SCCs”) adopted by the European Commission shall apply in a version provided as Appendix No. 4. In case of discrepancies between provisions of the SCCs and provisions of this Addendum and/or the MSA, the provisions of the SCCs shall prevail.

8.1 Processor shall be liable for damages caused by Processing Personal Data only where it has not complied with obligations of the Regulation specifically directed to processors or where Processor has acted outside or contrary to lawful instructions of Controller.

8.2 Processor will be released from any liability in case he was not duly informed about the potential breach of the Regulation and/or this Addendum and did not receive proper opportunity to defend itself (and Controller) against the alleged breach.

9.1 The duration of this Addendum shall correspond to the duration of the MSA.

10.1 Once the MSA expires or on prior request of the Controller, the Processor shall delete Personal Data related to the Controller (or to any of his Data Subjects). The processor is under no duty to keep this or any other data related to the Controller once the MSA expires. It is up to the Controller to organize the timely transfer of such data before the MSA expires.

10.2 This is of no effect to any Personal Data Processed by the Processor as the controller.

11.1 The Appendices form an integral part of this Addendum. In case of discrepancies between the provisions of this Addendum and the MSA, the provisions of this Addendum shall prevail.

11.2 By signing the Purchase Order, the Controller also accepts the then relevant version of the Addendum.

11.3 This Addendum and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter, whether of a contractual or non-contractual nature, shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Croatia, excluding the Croatian international private law provisions governing conflicts. The competent court is the court at the Processor’s registered seat.

(i) the specific circumstances of the transfer, including the length of the processing chain, the number of actors involved and the transmission channels used; intended onward transfers; the type of recipient; the purpose of processing; the categories and format of the transferred personal data; the economic sector in which the transfer occurs; the storage location of the data transferred;

(ii) the laws and practices of the third country of destination– including those requiring the disclosure of data to public authorities or authorizing access by such authorities – relevant in light of the specific circumstances of the transfer, and the applicable limitations and safeguards;

(iii) any relevant contractual, technical, or organizational safeguards put in place to supplement the safeguards under these Clauses, including measures applied during transmission and to the processing of the personal data in the country of destination.

It shall also make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.

(c) The data importer agrees to provide the minimum amount of information permissible when responding to a request for disclosure, based on a reasonable interpretation of the request.

(a) The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter if it is unable to comply with these Clauses, for whatever reason.

(b) In the event that the data importer is in breach of these Clauses or unable to comply with these Clauses, the data exporter shall suspend the transfer of personal data to the data importer until compliance is again ensured or the contract is terminated. This is without prejudice to Clause 14(f).

(c) The data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses, where:

(i) the data exporter has suspended the transfer of personal data to the data importer pursuant to paragraph (b) and compliance with these Clauses is not restored within a reasonable time and in any event within one month of suspension;

(ii) the data importer is in substantial or persistent breach of these Clauses; or

(iii) the data importer fails to comply with a binding decision of a competent court or supervisory authority regarding its obligations under these Clauses.

In these cases, it shall inform the competent supervisory authority of such non-compliance. Where the contract involves more than two Parties, the data exporter may exercise this right to termination only with respect to the relevant Party, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise.

(d) Personal data collected by the data exporter in the EU that has been transferred prior to the termination of the contract pursuant to paragraph (c) shall immediately be deleted in its entirety, including any copy thereof. The data importer shall certify the deletion of the data to the data exporter. Until the data is deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses. In case of local laws applicable to the data importer that prohibit the return or deletion of the transferred personal data, the data importer warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and will only process the data to the extent and for as long as required under that local law.

(e) Either Party may revoke its agreement to be bound by these Clauses where (i) the European Commission adopts a decision pursuant to Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 that covers the transfer of personal data to which these Clauses apply; or (ii) Regulation (EU) 2016/679 becomes part of the legal framework of the country to which the personal data is transferred.
