Zensend’s privacy policy (http://www.zensend.io/privacy) provides for any personal information that is processed by the Services or Sites. We take information security and protection of data very seriously.

In this Clause, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

"controller", "processor", "data subject", "personal data", "processing" (and "process") and "special categories of personal data" shall have the meanings given in Applicable Data Protection Law; and "Applicable Data Protection Law" shall mean: (i) prior to 25 May 2018, the EU Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC); and (ii) on and after 25 May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679).

You (the controller) appoint Zensend as a processor to process the personal data described in these Terms (the "Data") for the purposes described, and the terms set out, in these Terms, including, for the avoidance of doubt, to provide you with, and update and improve, our services (or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties) (the “Permitted Purpose”). Each party shall comply with the obligations that apply to it under Applicable Data Protection Law.

Unless explicitly requested by Zensend to do so, you shall not disclose (and shall not permit any data subject to disclose) any special categories of personal data to Zensend for processing.

Zensend shall not transfer the Data outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA") unless it has taken such measures as are necessary to ensure the transfer is in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Law. Such measures may include (without limitation) transferring the Data to a recipient in a country that the European Commission has decided provides adequate protection for personal data, to a recipient in the United States that has certified its compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield, or to a recipient that has executed standard contractual clauses adopted or approved by the European Commission.

Zensend shall ensure that any person it authorises to process the Data (an "Authorised Person") shall protect the Data in accordance with Zensend’s confidentiality obligations under these Terms.

Zensend shall implement technical and organisational measures to protect the Data (i) from accidental or unlawful destruction, and (ii) loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to the Data (a "Security Incident").

You consent to Zensend engaging third party subprocessors to process the Data for the Permitted Purpose provided that: (i) Zensend maintains an up-to-date list of its subprocessors, which shall be available on its website on or before 25 May 2018, which it shall update with details of any change in subprocessors at least 30 days prior to the change; (ii) Zensend imposes data protection terms on any subprocessor it appoints that require it to protect the Data to the standard required by Applicable Data Protection Law; and (iii) Zensend remains liable for any breach of this Clause that is caused by an act, error or omission of its subprocessor. You may object to Zensend’s appointment or replacement of a subprocessor prior to its appointment or replacement, provided such objection is based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. In such event, Zensend will either not appoint or replace the subprocessor or, if this is not reasonably possible in Zensend’s sole discretion, you may suspend or terminate the Service and these Terms (without prejudice to any fees incurred by you up to and including the date of suspension or termination).

Zensend shall provide reasonable and timely assistance to you (at your expense) to enable you to respond to: (i) any request from a data subject to exercise any of its rights under Applicable Data Protection Law; and (ii) any other correspondence, enquiry or complaint received from a data subject, regulator or other third party in connection with the processing of the Data. In the event that any such request, correspondence, enquiry or complaint is made directly to Zensend, Zensend shall promptly inform you providing full details of the same.

If Zensend believes or becomes aware that its processing of the Data is likely to result in a high risk to the data protection rights and freedoms of data subjects, it shall inform you and provide reasonable cooperation to you in connection with any data protection impact assessment that may be required under Applicable Data Protection Law.

If it becomes aware of a confirmed Security Incident, Zensend shall inform you without undue delay and shall provide reasonable information and cooperation to you so that you can fulfil any data breach reporting obligations you may have under (and in accordance with the timescales required by) Applicable Data Protection Law. Zensend shall further take reasonably necessary measures and actions to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Security Incident and keep you informed of all material developments in connection with the Security Incident.

Upon termination or expiry of these Terms, Zensend will, on your explicit request, delete or return the Data in its possession or control (in a manner and form decided by Zensend, acting reasonably). This requirement shall not apply to the extent that Zensend is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Data, or to Data it has archived on back-up systems, which Data Zensend shall securely isolate and protect from any further processing.

Zensend shall on reasonable prior notice and at your expense and subject to the confidentiality obligations set out in these Terms, submit to audits and inspections and provide information reasonably required in order to assess and verify compliance with the provisions of this Clause and the requirements of the Applicable Data Protection Law.
