ADDENDUM TO THE STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES
Sovrn and Customer agree that the SCCs shall be modified and/or supplemented as follows:
- Transfers from Switzerland. If the SCCs apply to the Processing of Personal Data originating from Switzerland, the SCCs shall be modified as follows:
- the term “member state” shall not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude data subjects in Switzerland from suing for their rights in their place of habitual residence in accordance with Clause 18(c);
- the SCCs shall also protect the data of legal entities until the entry into force of the revised FDPA on or about 1 January 2023;
- references to the GDPR or other governing law contained in the SCCs shall also be interpreted to include the FDPA;
- the parties agree that the supervisory authority as indicated in Annex I.C shall be the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
- Transfers from the United Kingdom. If the SCCs apply to the Transfer of Personal Data originating from the United Kingdom, this Section shall apply to and modify the SCCs to the extent that UK Data Protection Laws apply to Customer’s Processing when making that Transfer. As used in this Section, “Approved Addendum” means the template addendum issued by the Information Commissioner and laid before Parliament in accordance with s119A of the Data Protection Act 2018 on 2 February 2022, as it is revised under Section 18 of such thereof. The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) the information required to be set forth in “Part 1: Tables of the Approved Addendum” shall be completed in accordance with the selections set forth in the table above; and (b) “Part 2: Mandatory Clauses” of the Approved Addendum, as it is revised under Section 18 thereof, is hereby incorporated herein by reference. For purposes of Section 19 of the Approved Addendum, Sovrn may end the Approved Addendum in accordance with Section 19 thereof.
- Supplemental Business-Related Clauses. In accordance with Clause 2 of the SCCs, the Parties wish to supplement the SCCs with business-related clauses, which shall neither be interpreted nor applied in such a way as to contradict the SCCs (whether directly or indirectly) or to prejudice the fundamental rights and freedoms of Data Subjects. The Parties therefore agree that the applicable terms of the Agreement and this DPA shall apply if, and to the extent that, they are permitted under the SCCs, including without limitation the following:
- The information required to be provided to Data Subjects under Clause 8.2(a) shall be provided by Customer using the relevant information provided by Sovrn in Annex I.
- In the event of a data subject request for a copy of the clauses in accordance with Clause 8.2(c), each Party agrees to make all redactions reasonably necessary to protect business secrets or other confidential information of the other Party.
- Sovrn shall be deemed in compliance with Clause 8.7 to the extent such onward transfers occur in accordance with Article 4 of the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021.
- The terms of the Agreement governing indemnification and limitation of liability, including Section 11 of the DPA, shall apply to each Party’s liability under Clauses 12(a), 12(c), and 12(d).
- The termination provision(s) of the Agreement shall apply to a termination pursuant to Clause 14(f) or Clause 16.
