The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all activities related to the Main Agreement in which the Processor and its employees or persons authorized by the Processor come into contact with personal data originating from or collected for the Controller or otherwise processed on the Controller's behalf.

4. The term of this Agreement shall be based on the term of the Main Agreement, unless the following provisions give rise to obligations or rights of termination going beyond this. 

5. The provision of the contractually agreed data processing usually takes place in a member state of the European Union or another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Contractual Area (Decision 94/1/EC). If the Processor transfers Personal Data to subcontractors outside the EU or the EEA, they have previously agreed to comply with the standard data protection clauses pursuant to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4.6.2021 and thus ensure an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR.

§ 2 Type of data processed

The personal data to which the Processor will have access in the course of the performance of the Main Agreement are set out in Annex 1.  

§ 3 Controller’s right of instruction

1. The Processor may only collect, use or otherwise process data within the scope of the Main Agreement and in accordance with the instructions of the Controller; this applies in particular with regard to the transfer of personal data to a third country or to an international organization. If the Processor is required by the law of the European Union or the Member States to which it is subject to carry out further processing, it shall notify the Controller of these legal requirements prior to the processing. 

2. The instructions of the Controller are initially defined by this Agreement and may thereafter be amended, supplemented or replaced by the Controller by individual written instructions. The authorized contact persons of each Party and the communication channel to be used are shown in Annex 2. Any changes shall be taken into account in a timely manner. 

3. All instructions issued shall be documented by both the Controller and the Processor and shall be retained for the duration of their validity and subsequently for three additional full calendar years. 

4. If the Processor is of the opinion that an instruction of the Controller violates data protection provisions, it shall notify the Controller thereof without undue delay.

The obligations shall be proven to the Controller in an appropriate manner upon request. 

§ 5 Information obligations of the Processor 

1. In the event of disruptions, suspected data protection violations or breaches of contractual obligations of the Processor, suspected security related incidents or other irregularities in the processing of personal data by the Processor, by persons employed by it within the scope of the contract or by third parties, the Processor shall inform the Controller in writing without undue delay. The same shall apply to audits of the Processor by the data protection supervisory authority. The notification of a personal data breach shall contain the following information as far as possible: 

   1. a description of the nature of the personal data breach, including, to the extent possible, the categories and number of data subjects, the categories affected, and the number of personal data records affected;

The directory shall be made available to the Controller upon request.  

§ 6 Control rights of the Controller

1. The Processor shall demonstrate to the Controller compliance with the obligations set forth in this Agreement by appropriate means. 

2. If, in individual cases, inspections by the Controller or an auditor commissioned by the Controller are necessary, they shall be carried out during normal business hours without disrupting operations. The Processor may make the inspection dependent on prior notification with an appropriate lead time and on the signing of a confidentiality agreement regarding the data of other customers and the technical and organizational measures set up. If the auditor commissioned by the Controller is in a competitive relationship with the Processor, the Processor shall have a right of objection against him. 

3. In order to carry out the control, the Processor only needs to permit such a person who is under a special obligation to maintain confidentiality, in particular with regard to information about the Processor's operations, its equipment, the Processor's business secrets and security measures. If the control is not carried out by a person already known to the Processor, such person must prove his legitimation by the Controller in writing at least ten calendar days before the control is carried out.

The Processor shall carefully select subprocessors according to their suitability and reliability. The Processor shall oblige them in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and in doing so shall ensure that the Controller can exercise its rights under this Agreement, in particular its audit and control rights. Upon request, the Processor shall provide the Controller with evidence of the conclusion of the aforementioned agreements with its subprocessors. 

2. The subprocessors currently working for the Processor in accordance with Paragraph 1 are linked in Annex 3. The Processor will update the page and announce the new subprocessor at least 1 month before it is actively used. The Controller subscribe to the page mentioned in Annex 3 to get informed about any changes. The Controller may object within a reasonable period of time if an important reason under data protection law opposes the commissioning of the subprocessor. 

3. If subprocessors in a third country are to be involved, this shall only be done under the conditions specified in § 1 para. 5 sentence 2. 

4. A Subprocessor Relationship within the meaning of the above provisions does not exist if the Processor commissions third parties with services that are to be regarded as purely ancillary services. These include, for example, postal, transport and shipping services, security and cleaning services, as well as telecommunication services without any specific reference to services provided by the Processor to the Controller. 

§ 8 Requests and rights of data subjects

1. The Processor shall support the Controller as far as possible with appropriate technical and organizational measures in fulfilling the Controller's obligations pursuant to Articles 12 to 22 and Articles 32 and 36 GDPR. 

2. If a data subject asserts rights, such as the right to information, correction or deletion with regard to his/her data, directly against the Processor, the Processor shall forward the request to the Controller without undue delay, provided that an allocation to the Controller is possible according to the data subject. The Processor shall not be liable if the Data Subject's request is not answered, not answered correctly or not answered in a timely manner by the Controller. 

§ 9 Liability

1. The Controller and Processor are liable to data subjects in accordance with the provision set out in Art. 82 GDPR. The Processor shall coordinate any fulfillment of liability claims with the Controller. 

2. The Processor shall indemnify the Controller against all claims asserted by data subjects against the Controller due to the breach of an obligation imposed on the Processor by the GDPR or this Agreement or due to the noncompliance or breach of a lawful instruction separately issued by the Controller. 

3. The Processor does not have to indemnify the Controller if the data processing or measure giving rise to the Parties´ liability was carried out on the basis of instructions from the Controller. The same shall apply to measures that have been previously coordinated with the Controller. Coordination shall also be deemed to have taken place if a provision in this Agreement has been inserted at the request of the Controller. 

4. The Parties shall indemnify each other against liability to the extent that a Party proves that it is not responsible in any respect for the circumstance that caused the damage to a data subject. In all other respects, Art. 82(5) GDPR shall apply. 

§ 10 Termination of the Main Agreement and this Agreement

1. This Agreement shall remain valid after a termination of the Main Agreement for as long as the Processor has personal data which have been forwarded to him by the Controller or which he has collected for the Controller. 

2. The Processor shall return all documents, data and data carriers provided to it to the Controller after termination of the Main Agreement or at any time at the Controller's request or delete them at the Controller's request, unless there is an obligation to store the personal data under EU law or the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Processor shall provide documentary evidence of the proper deletion. 

3. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Main Agreement shall also terminate, provided that it cannot be performed without the processing of personal data. 

§ 11 Final provisions

1. Unless otherwise provided, declarations between the Parties shall be made in text form, whereby E mail shall suffice. 

2. The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with German law.
