Basis of Processing
In the provision of the Services, Ethixbase360 may process Owner Personal Data. If Ethixbase360 processes Owner Personal Data under the Order and Terms, for the purposes of the relevant Data Protection Legislation, Owner is the Controller of Owner Personal Data and Ethixbase360 is the Processor of Owner Personal Data.
Owner alone will exercise all rights under this DPA on its own behalf and on behalf of Owner Affiliates that are permitted by Ethixbase360 to use the Services under Owner’s Order.
If the Owner authorises the release of a Collaborative Report to an Authorised Recipient, that Authorised Recipient becomes an independent Controller of the Collaborative Report. Ethixbase360 has no control over the use of a Collaborative Report or any Personal Data contained within it by a Third Party Recipient. Prior to authorising disclosure, it is the responsibility of Owner to ensure appropriate arrangements are in place with Third Party Recipient governing the confidentiality of a Collaborative Report and the Processing of Personal Data within it.
The subject-matter, duration, nature, purpose of processing, types of Owner Personal Data and categories of Data Subjects processed under this DPA are set out in the Schedule to this DPA.
Instructions
Ethixbase360 will process Owner Personal Data for the purpose of and the duration as is necessary to perform its obligations under the Order and the Terms only, or otherwise in accordance with Owner’s written instructions. Such instructions will be reasonable, given in good faith and consistent with Ethixbase360’s obligations under an Order and the Terms.
Ethixbase360 may also process Owner Personal Data if required to do so by applicable law. Ethixbase360 will inform Owner of any such legal requirement before processing unless the law prohibits it from doing so.
Compliance with Data Protection Legislation
Each party will comply with the Data Protection Legislation applicable to it.
Ethixbase360 will notify Owner prior to carrying out any instruction from Owner that Ethixbase360 is aware would result in a breach of Data Protection Legislation.
Technical Requirements
Taking into account the state of technical development and the nature of processing, Ethixbase360 shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to meet the requirements of Data Protection Legislation.
Owner will determine whether the technical and organisational measures provided by the Services enable Owner to meet Owner’s obligations under the Data Protection Legislation.
Owner is solely responsible for ensuring the secure use of the Services by its Users.
Ethixbase360 will notify Owner if Ethixbase360 ceases to be ISO 27001 certified.
Sub-processing
Ethixbase360 will provide Owner with a list of its then current sub-processors on request. Sub-processors may be outside the UK or EEA.
Ethixbase360 has Owner’s general authorisation under this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses to appoint sub-processors and authorise them to process Owner Personal Data to the extent necessary for Ethixbase360 to provide Services. Ethixbase360 shall only allow processing of Owner Personal Data using a sub-processor if:
- Ethixbase360 has appointed that sub-processor under a written agreement containing, in substance, the same data protection obligations as this DPA;
- Ethixbase360 is responsible for each sub-processor’s compliance with Ethixbase360 obligations under this DPA;
- the conditions of paragraph “International Transfer” below have been met whenever Owner Personal Data is transferred from the EEA or the UK to any country outside the EEA or UK.
Ethixbase360 will notify Owner of any proposed changes to its sub-processors. Acting reasonably and in good faith, Owner may object to such changes on data protection grounds within 10 days of Ethixbase360’s notification to Owner. If Owner does notify Ethixbase360 of such reasonable objections, the parties will discuss Owner’s concerns in good faith with a view to achieving a commercially reasonable resolution within a reasonable period of time, but in any event within 30 days of Owner being informed of the proposed new sub-processor. Ethixbase360 may suspend the provision of the Services pending such resolution and may appoint such new sub-processor. If no objection is received within such 10 day period, Owner will be deemed to have no objections, If Ethixbase360 is unable to resolve the objection to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction within this timeframe, Owner may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate the Order or, at its option, the affected Services, immediately on notice given within such 30 day period.
Ethixbase360 Personnel
Ethixbase360 shall ensure that those of its personnel who are engaged or involved in the processing of Owner Personal Data to provide the Services:
- are informed of the confidential nature of Owner Personal Data and are subject to a binding written contractual obligation to keep Owner Personal Data confidential;

- security of processing;
- data protection impact assessments;
- prior consultation with a supervisory authority regarding high risk processing; and
- any remedial action and/or notifications to be taken in response to any personal data breach and/or any complaint or request relating to either party’s obligations under Data Protection Legislation relevant to this DPA, including (subject in each case to Owner’s prior written authorisation) regarding any notification of the personal data breach to supervisory authorities and/or communication to any affected Data Subjects.
Ethixbase360 may (acting reasonably) charge Owner at its standard professional services rates for any support, co-operation or assistance it provides under the DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses that cannot be provided within the scope of the Services. This paragraph shall not apply in relation to any support, co-operation or assistance (a) that is a direct legal obligation of Ethixbase360 under the Data Protection Legislation; or (b) required due to a breach of Ethixbase360’s obligations under this DPA or the Standard Contractual Clauses.
