3. Processing Of User Personal Data

3.1. For purposes of this Addendum, Customer and ScaleMatrix agree that Customer is the Controller of User Personal Data and ScaleMatrix is the Processor of such data, except when Customer acts as a Processor of User Personal Data, in which case ScaleMatrix is a sub-Processor.

3.2. ScaleMatrix will only Process User Personal Data on behalf of and in accordance with the Customer’s prior written instructions and for no other purpose. ScaleMatrix is hereby instructed to Process User Personal Data to the extent necessary to enable ScaleMatrix to provide the ScaleMatrix Services in accordance with the Agreement.

Each of the Customer and ScaleMatrix will comply with their respective obligations under the GDPR, to the extent applicable to the Processing of any User Personal Data in the context of the provision of the ScaleMatrix Services. Customer will (i) comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws with respect to Customer’s Processing of User Personal Data and any Processing instructions that Customer issues to ScaleMatrix, and (ii) ensure that Customer has obtained (or will obtain) all consents and rights necessary for ScaleMatrix to Process User Personal Data in accordance with this Addendum.

  • inform Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of such sub-Processors, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, and Customer will have an opportunity to object to such changes on reasonable grounds within fifteen (15) business days after being notified.

  • keep the Customer informed if there is any change to the role or status of the sub-Processor; and
