This Agreement forms part of the agreement between Customer and EventHQ Inc. covering Customerʼs use of the Services (as defined below).

Clause 1: Purpose and scope

(a) The purpose of this Agreement is to ensure compliance with Article 28(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.

(b) The controllers and processors listed in Appendix I have agreed to these Clauses in order to ensure compliance with Article 28(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

(c) These Clauses apply to the processing of personal data as specified in Appendix II.

(d) Appendixes I to III are an integral part of the Clauses.

(e) These Clauses are without prejudice to obligations to which the Customer is subject by virtue of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

(f) These Clauses do not by themselves ensure compliance with obligations related to international transfers in accordance with Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. They are herein completed by Standard Contractual Clauses for personal data transfers outside the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) if needed.

Clause 2: Invariability of the Clauses

(a) The Parties undertake not to modify the Clauses, except for adding information to the Appendixes or updating information in them.

(b) This does not prevent the Parties from including these Clauses in a broader contract, or from adding other clauses or additional safeguards provided that they do not directly or indirectly contradict the Clauses or detract from the fundamental rights or freedoms of data subjects.

Clause 3: Interpretation

(a) Where these Clauses use the terms defined in Regulation (EU) 2016/679, those terms have the same meaning as in that Regulation.

(b) These Clauses must be read and interpreted in the light of the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

(c) These Clauses are not to be interpreted in a way that runs counter to the rights and obligations provided for in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or in a way that prejudices the fundamental rights or freedoms of the data subjects.

Clause 4: Hierarchy

In the event of a contradiction between these Clauses and the provisions of related agreements between the Parties existing at the time when these Clauses are agreed or entered into thereafter, these Clauses will prevail.

Clause 5: Docking clause

(a) Any entity that is not a Party to these Clauses may, with the agreement of all the Parties, accede to these Clauses at any time as a controller or a processor by completing the Appendixes and signing Appendix I.

(b) Once the Appendixes in (a) are completed and signed, the acceding entity will be treated as a Party to these Clauses and have the rights and obligations of a controller or a processor, in accordance with its designation in Appendix I.

(c) The acceding entity will have no rights or obligations resulting from these Clauses from the period prior to becoming a Party.

Clause 6: Description of processing(s)

In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing and the risks involved for the data subjects.

(b) No provision of this Agreement includes the right to, and Customer may not, directly or indirectly, enable any person or entity other than authorized users to access or use the Services, or use (or permit others to use) the Services other than as described in the applicable Agreement.

(c) EventHQ Inc. grants access to the personal data undergoing processing to members of its personnel only to the extent strictly necessary for implementing, managing and monitoring the contract.

(c) The Customer acknowledges that certain sub-processors are essential to providing the Services and that objecting to the use of a sub-processor may prevent EventHQ Inc. from offering the Services to the Customer.

(d) Where EventHQ Inc. engages a sub-processor for carrying out specific processing activities (on behalf of the Customer), it will do so by way of a contract which imposes on the sub- processor, in substance, the same data protection obligations as the ones imposed on EventHQ Inc. in accordance with these Clauses.

(b) If the storage and/or processing of Personal Data as described in Appendix II involves a transfer of personal data to EventHQ Inc. outside of the EU/EEA, and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 applies to the transfer, then Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries (hereinafter “SCCs”) are to be incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement in accordance.
