6.3 Operational clarifications (if and as the EU SCCs apply in accordance with Paragraph 4.2 of Annex 1):

  1. When complying with its transparency obligations under Clause 8.3 of the EU SCCs, Customer agrees that it shall not provide or otherwise make available, and shall take all appropriate steps to protect, Metadata’s and its licensors’ trade secrets, business secrets, confidential information and/or other commercially sensitive information.
  2. Where applicable, for the purposes of Clause 10(a) of Module Three of the EU SCCs, Customer acknowledges and agrees that there are no circumstances in which it would be appropriate for Metadata to notify any third-party controller of any Data Subject Request and that any such notification shall be the sole responsibility of Customer.

7. PERSONAL DATA BREACH

Breach notification and assistance 

7.1 Metadata shall notify Customer without undue delay upon Metadata’s discovery of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data. Metadata shall provide Customer with information (insofar as such information is within Metadata’s possession and knowledge and does not otherwise compromise the security of any Personal Data Processed by Metadata) to allow Customer to meet its obligations under the Applicable Data Protection Laws to report the Personal Data Breach. Metadata’s notification of or response to a Personal Data Breach shall not be construed as Metadata’s acknowledgement of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.

7.2 Metadata shall reasonably co-operate with Customer and take such commercially reasonable steps as may be directed by Customer to assist in the investigation of any such Personal Data Breach.

7.3 Customer is solely responsible for complying with notification laws applicable to Customer and fulfilling any third-party notification obligations related to any Personal Data Breaches.

7.4 Operational clarifications:

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, Customer shall be fully responsible for all time spent by Metadata (at Metadata’s then-current professional services rates) in Metadata’s cooperation and assistance provided to Customer under Section 7.2, and shall on demand reimburse Metadata any such costs incurred by Metadata.

Notification to Metadata

7.5 If Customer determines that a Personal Data Breach (whether related to Customer Personal Data or Metadata Personal Data) must be notified to any Supervisory Authority, any Data Subject(s), the public or others under Applicable Data Protection Laws, to the extent such notice directly or indirectly refers to or identifies Metadata, where permitted by applicable laws, Customer agrees to: 

  1. notify Metadata in advance; and 
  2. in good faith, consult with Metadata and consider any clarifications or corrections Metadata may reasonably recommend or request to any such notification, which: (i) relate to Metadata’s involvement in or relevance to such Personal Data Breach; and (ii) are consistent with applicable laws.

8. SUB-PROCESSORS

With respect to all Customer Personal Data except Customer Personal Data subject to Annex 1, Metadata may use Sub-Processors to Process such Customer Personal Data provided such Sub-Processors agree (i) to comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws, (ii) to take reasonable steps designed to protect and secure Customer Personal Data, and (iii) not to Process Customer Personal Data other than on behalf of Metadata. Metadata shall remain liable for any breach of this DPA caused by a Sub-Processor. A list of Sub-Processors engaged by Metadata as at the date of this DPA (as those Sub-Processors are shown, together with their respective functions and locations), is contained in the Sub-Processor list shown at https://metadata.io/subprocessors (the “Sub-Processor List”).

Metadata’s obligations with respect to Sub-Processors that Process Customer Personal Data subject to the GDPR are addressed in Annex 1.

9. RETURN AND DELETION

9.1 Subject to Paragraph 9.2 and 9.3, upon the date of cessation of any Company Services involving the Processing of Customer Personal Data (the “Cessation Date”), Metadata shall promptly cease all Processing of Customer Personal Data for any purpose other than for storage or as otherwise permitted or required under this DPA or the Agreement.

Subject to Paragraph 9.4, to the extent technically possible in the circumstances (as determined in Metadata’s sole discretion), on written request to Metadata (to be made no later than fourteen (14) days after the Cessation Date (“Post-cessation Storage Period”)), Metadata shall within fourteen (14) days of such request:

  1. return a complete copy of all Customer Personal Data within Metadata’s possession to Customer by secure file transfer, promptly following which Metadata shall delete or irreversibly anonymise all other copies of such Customer Personal Data; or 
  2. either (at its option) delete or irreversibly anonymise all Customer Personal Data within Metadata’s possession.

9.3 In the event that during the Post-cessation Storage Period, Customer does not instruct Metadata in writing to either delete or return Customer Personal Data pursuant to Paragraph 9.2, Metadata shall promptly after the expiry of the Post-cessation Storage Period either (at its option) delete; or irreversibly render anonymous, all Customer Personal Data then within Metadata possession to the fullest extent technically possible in the circumstances.

9.4 Metadata may retain Customer Personal Data where permitted or required by applicable law, for such period as may be required by such applicable law, provided that Metadata shall:

  1. maintain the confidentiality of all such Customer Personal Data, subject to applicable law; and 
  2. Process the Customer Personal Data only as necessary for the purpose(s) specified in the applicable law permitting or requiring such retention. 

9.5 Operational clarification: Certification of deletion of Customer Personal Data, including as described in Clauses 8.5 and 16(d) of the EU SCCs (if and as applicable), shall be provided only upon Customer’s written request.

10. AUDIT RIGHTS

10.1 Metadata shall make available to Customer on request, such information as Metadata (acting reasonably) considers appropriate in the circumstances to demonstrate its compliance with this DPA in relation to its Processing of Customer Personal Data. 

10.2 Subject to Paragraphs 10.3 to 10.8, in the event that Customer (acting reasonably) is able to provide documentary evidence that the information made available by Metadata pursuant to Paragraph 10.1 is not sufficient in the circumstances to demonstrate Metadata’s compliance with this DPA, Metadata shall allow for and contribute to audits  by Customer or an auditor mandated by Customer in relation to the Processing of Customer Personal Data by Metadata.

10.3 Customer shall give Metadata reasonable notice of any audit or inspection to be conducted under Paragraph 10.2 (which shall in no event be less than fourteen (14) days’ notice) and shall use its best efforts (and ensure that each of its mandated auditors uses its best efforts) to avoid causing any destruction, damage, injury or disruption to Metadata’s equipment, Personnel, data, and business (including any interference with the confidentiality or security of the data of Metadata’s other customers or the availability of Metadata’s services to such other customers).

10.4 Prior to conducting any audit, Customer must submit a detailed proposed audit plan providing for the confidential treatment of all information exchanged in connection with the audit and any reports regarding the results or findings thereof. The proposed audit plan must describe the proposed scope, duration, and start date of the audit. Metadata will review the proposed audit plan and provide Customer with any concerns or questions (for example, any request for information that could compromise Metadata security, privacy, employment or other relevant policies). Metadata will work cooperatively with Customer to agree on a final audit plan.  

10.5 If the controls or measures to be assessed in the requested audit are addressed in a SOC 2 Type 2, ISO, NIST or similar audit report performed by a qualified third-party auditor within twelve (12) months of Customer’s audit request (“Audit Report”) and Metadata has confirmed in writing that there are no known material changes in the controls audited and covered by such Audit Report(s), Customer agrees to accept provision of such Audit Report(s) in lieu of requesting an audit of such controls or measures.  

10.3 Metadata need not give access to its Personnel, equipment, data or other resources for the purposes of such an audit or inspection:

  1. where an Audit Report is provided in lieu of such controls or measures in accordance with Paragraph 5.5;

  3. to any auditor whom Metadata has not approved in advance (acting reasonably);
  4. to any individual who has not entered into a non-disclosure agreement with Metadata on terms acceptable to Metadata;
  5. outside normal business hours at those premises; or
  6. on more than one occasion in any calendar year during the term of the Agreement, except for any audits or inspections which Customer is required to carry out under Applicable Data Protection Law or by a Supervisory Authority or other governmental authority.

10.7 Nothing in this DPA shall require Metadata to furnish more information about its Sub-Processors in connection with such audits than such Sub-Processors make generally available to their customers.

10.8 Operational clarifications:

  1. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, Customer shall be fully responsible for all time spent by Metadata (at Metadata’s then-current professional services rates) in Metadata’s provision of any cooperation and assistance provided to Customer under this Paragraph 10 (excluding any costs incurred in the procurement, preparation or delivery of Audit Reports to Customer pursuant to Paragraph 10.5), and shall on demand reimburse Metadata any such costs incurred by Metadata.
  2. The audits described in Clauses 8.9(c) and 8.9(d) of the EU SCCs (if and as applicable) shall be subject to any relevant terms and conditions detailed in this Paragraph 5.

11. CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

11.1 Customer agrees that, without limiting Metadata’s obligations under Section 5 (Security), Customer is solely responsible for its use of the Company Services, including (a) making appropriate use of the Company Services to maintain a level of security appropriate to the risk in respect of the Customer Personal Data; (b) securing the account authentication credentials, systems and devices Customer uses to access the Company Services; (c) securing Customer’s systems and devices that Metadata uses to provide the Company Services; and (d) backing up Customer Personal Data.
