Data Processing Under Commission Agreement – Appendix 1 Technical and Organizational Measures
This agreement applies for data processing under commission for personal data to the use of software applications on the basis of Software as a Service (SaaS) by Bosch Software Innovations GmbH, Ullsteinstr. 128, 12109 Berlin,(hereinafter: “Provider (Data Processor)” to the customer (hereinafter: “Customer (Data Controller”). (Customer and Provider hereinafter collectively referred to as “Parties” and individually as “Party”). The following technical and organizational measures are implemented by the Provider and agreed with the Customer.
§1 Measures for the pseudonymization and encryption of personal data
Pseudonymization means processing personal data in such a manner that these data can no longer be allocated to a specific data subject without additional information, provided such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures ensuring that the personal data cannot be allocated to an identified or identifiable natural person.
