This Agreement contains the provisions, in particular the data protection rights and obligations of the Parties, concerning the Processor’s handling of Customer Data for performance under the Main Agreement.
The order covers the service described in the Main Agreement .
(2) Without prejudice to (3) below, the Processor shall process the personal data exclusively in a Member State of the European Union or in a state that is a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
(3) If the Processor has the processing of personal data handled in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union or a state that is a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area), it shall require the Controller’s prior written or electronically documented consent and shall only occur to the extent that the special requirements of Article 44 et seq . of the GDPR are met.
(1) The Processor shall process Customer Data only on behalf of (§1 (1) hereof) and upon documented instructions from the Controller as defined by Article 28 paragraph 3(a) GDPR. The respective Main Agreement is the basis of the processing operations to be carried out by the Processor. By installing the respective product, the Processor issues the instructions for data processing. Additional instructions are sent via the communication channel in Annex 3.
(2) The Processor shall exclusively process the Customer Data as described in Annex 2 hereto, in terms of nature, scope and purpose. The processing of Customer Data by the Processor relates exclusively to the categories of data subjects subsequently described in Annex 2 hereto. The Processor is prohibited from any Customer Data processing that deviates from or extends beyond this, in particular use of the Customer Data for its own purposes. In view of the nature of the Agreement, the Controller acknowledges that the Processor can neither maintain nor review the table referred to in Annex 2. The Controller is obliged to notify the Processor of all required changes to the list in Annex 2 via the specified communication channel (Annex 3). The Controller is also obliged not to provide the Processor any personal data not covered by Annex 2 until the table has been updated accordingly.
(1) The Processor shall exclusively process the Customer Data in accordance with the provisions contained in this Agreement and other instructions from the Controller.
(2) The Controller shall issue all instructions and orders in writing or documented electronic format.
(3) The Controller is obliged to confidentially treat all knowledge of the Processor’s business secrets and data security measures acquired within the framework of the contractual relationship. This obligation shall remain in force even after termination of this Agreement.
(4) Those authorized and entitled by the Controller are specified in Annex 3. For the issuance of instructions, the communication channel specified in Annex 3 shall be used.
(5) As a rule, instructions are to be issued by the Controller’s authorized representative or substitute.

(7) If the Processor is reasonably of the opinion that an instruction from the Controller infringes this Agreement or the applicable data protection law (see Article 28 paragraph 3 sentence 2 GDPR), it must notify the Controller immediately. After timely prior notification to the Controller of at least a 14-day period, the Processor is to suspend implementation of the instruction pending confirmation or change of instruction by the Controller.

This shall not apply if the Processor is obliged to perform other processing under the law of the EU or of Member States to which the Processor is subject (e.g. investigations by state authorities or law enforcement agencies). In this case, the Processor shall notify the Controller of these legal requirements prior to processing, unless the law in question prohibits such notification due to a significant public interest (see Article 28 paragraph 3 (a) GDPR).
(2) The Processor shall not use the Customer Data provided by the Controller for processing for any other purpose, in particular for its own purposes.
