Last Update: April 22nd 2024
This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") and the schedules to this DPA apply to the Processing of Client Personal Data on behalf of Client as identified on the Master Services Agreement (the "Client") in order to provide Services Client may have ordered from Rainmaker Bots.
This DPA forms part of the Master Services Agreement available at https://www.rainmakerbots.ai or such other location as the Master Services Agreement may be posted from time-to-time or such alternative agreement Client may have entered into with Rainmaker Bots pursuant to which Client has accessed Rainmaker Bots's Services, as defined in the applicable agreement (the "Agreement"). In the event of a conflict between the terms of this DPA and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this DPA will prevail, unless the Agreement explicitly provides otherwise, identifying the relevant portion of the DPA that it is superseding.
For purposes of this DPA, Client and Rainmaker Bots agree that Client may be a Data Controller of Client Personal Data and Rainmaker Bots may be a Data Processor of such data, except when Client acts as a Data Processor of Client Personal Data, in which case Rainmaker Bots is a subprocessor. In the course of providing Services to Client pursuant to the Agreement, Rainmaker Bots may Process Client Personal Data on behalf of Client. Rainmaker Bots agrees to comply with the following provisions with respect to any Client Personal Data submitted by or on behalf of Client for the Services or collected and Processed through the Services.
Any capitalized term used but not defined in this DPA has the meaning provided to it in the Agreement or in the Applicable Data Protection Law.
Rainmaker Bots will in the course of providing Services, including with regard to Transfers of Personal Data to a third country, Process Client Personal Data only on behalf of and under the documented Instructions of Client unless required to do so otherwise under Applicable Data Protection Law; in such a case, Rainmaker Bots will inform Client of that legal requirement before Processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest.
Client is responsible for ensuring that:
Client appoints Rainmaker Bots as a Data Processor to Process Client Personal Data on behalf of, and in accordance with, Client's instructions:
Client will ensure that its instructions comply with Applicable Data Protection Law. Client acknowledges that Rainmaker Bots is not responsible for determining which laws are applicable to Client's business nor whether Rainmaker Bots's provision of the Services meets or will meet the requirements of such laws.
Rainmaker Bots will ensure that its employees (including subprocessors) who Process Client Personal Data for Rainmaker Bots or who have access to Client Personal Data are authorized to Process this Personal Data, and have undertaken to, or are contractually bound to observe confidentiality.
Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of Natural Persons, Rainmaker Bots will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, as required by Art. 32 GDPR. This may include:
Client agrees that Rainmaker Bots may use subprocessors to fulfill its contractual obligations under the Agreement.
Where Rainmaker Bots authorizes any subprocessor as described in this Section 4, Rainmaker Bots agrees to impose data protection terms on any subprocessor it appoints that require it to protect Client Personal Data to the standard required by Applicable Data Protection Law, such as including the same data protection obligations referred to in Article 28(3) of the GDPR.
Client provides a general consent for Rainmaker Bots to engage onward subprocessors, conditional on the following requirements:
Rainmaker Bots's Services provide Client with a number of self-service features, including the ability to rectify, delete, obtain a copy of, or restrict use of Client Personal Data, which may be used by Client to assist in complying with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law with respect to responding to requests from data subjects via the Rainmaker Bots Services at no additional cost.
In addition, upon Client's request, Rainmaker Bots will provide reasonable additional and timely assistance (at Client's expense only if complying with Client's request will require Rainmaker Bots to assign significant resources to that effort) to assist Client in complying with its data protection obligations with respect to data subject rights under Applicable Data Protection Law.
In the event that any request, correspondence, enquiry or complaint from a data subject, regulatory or third party, including, but not limited to law enforcement, is made directly to Rainmaker Bots in connection with Rainmaker Bots's Processing of Client Personal Data, Rainmaker Bots will inform Client providing details of the same, to the extent legally permitted. Unless legally obligated to do so, Rainmaker Bots will not respond to any such request, inquiry or complaint without Client's prior consent.
Upon becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach, Rainmaker Bots will without undue delay and within forty-eight (48) hours inform Client and provide written details of the Personal Data Breach reasonably required to fulfill Client's notification obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law. Where possible, such details will include:
Rainmaker Bots will provide reasonable assistance to Client in connection with data protection impact assessments, and prior consultations with Supervisory Authorities, which Client reasonably considers to be required of Client by Article 35 or 36 of the GDPR, with regards to Processing of Client Personal Data by Rainmaker Bots.
Within two (2) months after the expiry or termination of the Agreement, Rainmaker Bots will, upon Client's request return all Client Personal Data to Client. Following the earlier of such request or the two (2) month period, Rainmaker Bots will destroy any Client Personal Data and any copies in Rainmaker Bots's control or possession and provide written confirmation once returned or destroyed.
"De-identified Data" means Client Personal Data that has been Processed such it can no longer be linked to an identified or identifiable Natural Person, or a device linked to such person. Rainmaker Bots may Process Client Personal Data to create de-identified data for Rainmaker Bots's legitimate business purposes. De-identified data will not be considered Client Personal Data and Rainmaker Bots may retain such data at its discretion.
Rainmaker Bots will make available information to Client at Client's request which is necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and allow for any audits, including inspections, conducted by Client or another auditor, as requested by Client on reasonable, legitimate grounds for suspecting a breach of this DPA.
Client authorizes Rainmaker Bots and its subprocessors to Transfer Client Personal Data across international borders, including from the UK or European Economic Area to the United States. Any international Transfer of Client Personal Data from the UK or European Economic Area to a Third Country must be supported by an approved EU adequacy mechanism. Rainmaker Bots and Client will use the Standard Contractual Clauses described in Schedule 2 as the adequacy mechanism supporting the Transfer and Processing of Client Personal Data.
Where Rainmaker Bots Processes Client Personal Data protected by Applicable Data Protection Law in one of the jurisdictions listed in Schedule 3, the terms specified in Schedule 3 with respect to the applicable jurisdiction(s) ("Jurisdiction Specific Terms") apply in addition to the terms of this DPA. In case of any conflict or ambiguity between the Jurisdiction Specific Terms and any other terms of this DPA, the applicable Jurisdiction Specific Terms will take precedence.
Client and Rainmaker Bots will each be separately liable to the other party for damages it causes by any breach of the clauses in this DPA. Liability as between the parties is limited to actual damage suffered. Punitive damages (i.e. damages intended to punish a party for its outrageous conduct) are specifically excluded. Each party will be liable to data subjects for damages it causes by any breach of third party rights under these clauses. This does not affect the liability of the data exporter under its Applicable Data Protection Law.
In the event that changes in law or regulation render performance of this DPA impossible or commercially unreasonable, the Parties may renegotiate this DPA in good faith. If renegotiation would not cure the impossibility, or the Parties cannot reach an agreement, the Parties may terminate the Agreement in accordance with the Agreement's termination provisions.
Rainmaker Bots may update the terms of this DPA from time to time; provided, however, Rainmaker Bots will provide at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Client when an update is required as a result of (a) the release of new products or services or material changes to any of the existing Services; (b) changes in Applicable Data Protection Law; or (c) a merger, acquisition, or other similar transaction. The then-current terms of this DPA are available at https://www.rainmakerbots.ai.
This DPA will become legally binding upon the Effective Date of the Agreement or upon the date that the Parties sign this DPA if it is completed after the effective date of the Agreement. Rainmaker Bots will Process Client Personal Data until the relationship terminates as specified in the Agreement. Any obligation imposed on Rainmaker Bots under this DPA in relation to the Processing of Client Personal Data will terminate when Rainmaker Bots no longer Processes Client Personal Data.
