3.6 We will not Process Patient or Client Data other than on your Instructions unless required by any law to which we are subject, in which case we will to the extent permitted by applicable law inform you of that legal requirement before we Process that Patient or Client Data.

3.7 As required by article 28(3) of the GDPR (and, if applicable, equivalent requirements of other Applicable Data Protection Laws), the nature and purpose of the Processing, the types of Patient or Client Data and categories of Data Subjects Processed under this Addendum are set out in Schedule 1.

Our obligations in relation to Processing will continue until the Patient or Client Data has been properly deleted or returned to you in accordance with clause 11 of this Addendum.

It is also your responsibility to enter into data processing agreements with other relevant Data Controllers in order to allow us and our Sub-Processors to Process Patient or Client Data in accordance with this Addendum.

b) ensure that access to Patient or Client Data is limited to our Personnel who require that access as strictly necessary for the purposes of exercising our rights and performing our obligations under the Terms;

c) ensure that our Personnel engaged in Processing Patient or Client Data are subject to confidentiality undertakings or professional or statutory obligations of confidentiality; and

d) ensure that our Personnel engaged in Processing Patient or Client Data are informed of the confidential nature of the Patient or Client Data and receive appropriate training on their responsibilities.

6.2 We have entered into (and will, for any new Sub-Processor, enter into) written agreements with each Sub-Processor containing data protection obligations which offer at least the same level of protection for Patient or Client Data as set out in this Addendum and that meet the requirements of Article 28(3) of the GDPR, as applicable to the nature of the services provided by that Sub-Processor.

6.3 You may request copies of our written agreements with Sub-Processors (which may be redacted to remove confidential information not relevant to this Addendum).

6.4 A list of current Sub-Processors for the Services is set out in Schedule 2. We may update the list of Sub-Processors from time to time and, subject to clause 6.5, we will give prior written notice of any new Sub-Processor.

6.5 We may engage Sub-Processors as needed to serve as an Emergency Replacement to maintain and support the Services. Emergency Replacement means a sudden replacement of a Sub-Processor where a change is outside our reasonable control. In this case, we will inform you of the replacement Sub-Processor as soon as reasonably practicable.

6.6 If you object to any new Sub-Processor, you may, despite anything to the contrary in the Terms, terminate these Terms and your right to access and use the Service without penalty on written notice, provided (in the case of a new Sub-Processor notified under clause 6.4) your notice of termination is received by us before the effective date of our notice under clause 6.4 or (in the case of a new Sub-Processor notified under clause 6.5) your notice of termination is received by us within 30 days of our notice of the new Sub-Processor. If you do not terminate these Terms and your right to access and use the Service in accordance with this clause, you are deemed to have agreed to the new Sub-Processor.

6.7 We are liable for the acts and omissions of our Sub-Processors to the same extent we would be liable if performing the services of each Sub-Processor directly under the terms of this Addendum, except as otherwise set out in this Addendum.

We will maintain technical and organisational measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity and security (including protection against unauthorised or unlawful Processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, Data) of Patient or Client Data, and to manage data security incidents affecting Patient or Client Data, in accordance with Appendix 2 of the Standard Contractual Clauses.

8.1 We will comply with all applicable laws requiring notification to you of any accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to Patient or Client Data Processed by us or our Sub-Processors of which we become aware (Breach Incident).

8.2 We will make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of that Breach Incident, notify you within a timely manner to allow you to meet your obligations to report a Breach Incident, and take steps we consider necessary and reasonable to remediate the cause of the Breach Incident, to the extent remediation is within our reasonable control.

Upon your written request, we will provide you with reasonable assistance needed to fulfill your obligation under the GDPR to carry out a data protection impact assessment relating to your use of the Service, to the extent you do not otherwise have access to the relevant information.

Upon your written request, we will submit to your audits and inspections, and provide you all information necessary, to demonstrate that both you and we are complying with our respective obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws (including our respective obligations under Article 28 of the GDPR).

11.1 Subject to clauses 11.2 and 11.3, following termination of the Terms we will, to the extent we Process Patient or Client Data, delete all Patient or Client Data within 6 months from termination of the Terms.

11.2 Subject to clause 11.3, you may submit a written request to us within 10 working days of the termination of the Terms requiring us, within 20 working days of your written request, to:

a) return a complete copy of all Patient or Client Data Processed by us by secure file transfer in a common format; and

b) delete all other copies of Patient or Client Data Processed by us or any Sub-Processor.

11.3 We, or each Sub-Processor, may retain Patient or Client Data to the extent that it is required by applicable laws, provided that we ensure the confidentiality of all such Patient or Client Data and ensure that such Patient or Client Data is only processed as necessary for the purposes required under applicable laws requiring its Processing and for no other purpose.

11.4 With the exception of patient photos and signatures (which must, where deletion is required under this clause 11, be completely and permanently deleted), you agree that we may satisfy any requirement to delete Patient or Client Data under this clause 11 by anonymising the Patient or Client Data so that it is no longer Personal Data.

11.5 You are responsible for deletion of Patient or Client Data held locally in the Finger-Ink App in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Law.
​

12.1 We may on prior written notice to you from time to time, make any variations to this Addendum (including to the Standard Contractual Clauses), which we consider (acting reasonable) are required as a result of any change in, or decision of a competent authority under, Applicable Data Protection Law, to allow transfers and Processing of Patient or Client Data to continue without breach of Applicable Data Protection Law.

12.2 If you object to any variation under clause 12.1, you may, despite anything to the contrary in the Terms, terminate these Terms and your right to access and use the Service without penalty on written notice, provided your notice of termination is received by us before the effective date of our notice. If you do not terminate these Terms and your right to access and use the Service in accordance with this clause, you are deemed to have agreed to the variation.

The liability of each party to the other party under or in connection with this Addendum is subject to the limitations and exclusions set out in the Terms, and any reference in the Terms to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party under the Terms and this Addendum together.

If any provision of this Addendum is, or becomes unenforceable, illegal or invalid for any reason, the relevant provision is deemed to be varied to the extent necessary to remedy the unenforceability, illegality or invalidity. If variation is not possible, the provision must be treated as severed from this Addendum without affecting any other provisions of this Addendum.

We will Process Patient or Client Data as necessary to provide the Service in accordance with the Terms, as further specified in our online documentation relating to the Services, and as further instructed by you and your Personnel and other end users you allow to use the Service through the use of the Service.

Subject to clause 11 of this Addendum, we will Process Patient or Client Data for the duration of the Terms and for a period of not more than 6 months after termination of the Terms, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

You may submit Patient or Client Data to the Service, the extent of which is determined and controlled by you in your sole discretion, and which may include, but is not limited to, Patient or Client Data relating to the following categories of data subjects:

You may submit Patient or Client Data to the Service, the extent of which is determined and controlled by you in your sole discretion, and which may include, but is not limited to, the following categories of personal data:

Some of the Patient or Client Data may be categorised as special categories of personal data under the GDPR. Processing of special categories of personal data is prohibited unless the data subject has given explicit consent to the processing of that personal data for one or more specified purposes. As required under the Terms, you are responsible for obtaining all necessary consents to our processing of special categories of data.
