This Personal Data Processing Agreement (PDPA) is a part of the main agreement (called the "Terms") between Awssome and the Publisher. It covers how Awssome will handle the Publisher's personal data as defined in the GDPR. Both parties agree that Awssome is a processor or subprocessor of the Publisher's personal data and that the Publisher, as a user of Awssome's solution, may also be a processor or subprocessor of the Publisher's personal data.Both parties will follow their GDPR obligations regarding the handling of this personal data. This PDPA will take effect on the start date and will end when Awssome deletes all of the Publisher's personal data. If the GDPR applies to the processing of the Publisher's personal data and the Publisher is acting as a subprocessor on behalf of a third party processor, the Publisher must have the third party's permission and provide evidence of this permission if requested by Awssome The Publisher instructs Awssome to handle the Publisher's personal data only in accordance with the GDPR, the Terms (including this PDPA), and any other lawful instructions from the Publisher. Awssome will not process, transfer, modify, or disclose the Publisher's personal data to any third party except in accordance with the Publisher's instructions. During the term of the agreement, the Publisher can request to delete their personal data from the solution in a way that is consistent with the solution's functionality. If the Publisher or a user uses the solution to delete the Publisher's personal data and it cannot be retrieved, this will be considered an instruction from the Publisher for Awssome to delete the data. Awssome will follow this instruction as soon as possible and within 90 days, unless the law requires the data to be retained for longer.At the end of the agreement (called the "Term"), the Publisher has 30 days to export any data they want to keep from the solution. Awssome will put in place appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Publisher's personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. These measures are described in appendix 2 and include measures to help ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of the solution and personal data, as well as regular testing of their effectiveness. Awssome may update or modify these measures, but they must not decrease the overall security of the solution. The Publisher's personal data will be hosted by a third party and most technical and organizational security measures will be the responsibility of Awssome. Awssome will make sure its employees, contractors, agents and subcontractors follow the security measures as appropriate for their role and have received appropriate training and confidentiality obligations. Awssome will help the Publisher ensure compliance with its obligations for the security of personal data and for data breaches, including in the event of a data incident, by implementing and maintaining security measures and complying with its obligations for data incidents. If Awssome becomes aware of a data incident, it will tell the Publisher promptly and take reasonable steps to minimize harm and secure the Publisher's data. The Publisher is responsible for complying with notification obligations under the GDPR and any third party notification obligations related to a data incident.The Publisher is also responsible for their own use of the solution, including ensuring that they have the necessary technical and organizational measures in place to protect their data and that they have a process in place to regularly test, assess and evaluate the effectiveness of these measures. The Publisher must also make sure that they have the necessary consents and permissions to transfer personal data to Awssome and that they comply with their own GDPR obligations. The Publisher must also tell Awssome if they become aware of a data incident affecting their personal data. Awssome is not responsible for the Publisher's failure to comply with their GDPR obligations or for any consequences of this failure. Publisher elects to conduct an audit as set forth above, Publisher shall notify Awssome in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to conducting the audit and shall bear all costs and expenses associated therewith, such as auditor fees, transportation costs, attorney fees, etc. In any event, any audit imposed by the Publisher pursuant to this Section 14 shall not interfere with or otherwise disrupt the normal course of the Provider's business. Publisher agrees that Awssome (taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to Awssome) shall provide reasonable assistance to Publisher to ensure Publisher's compliance with all of its obligations with respect to data protection impact assessments and prior consultations, including, where applicable, Publisher's obligations under Articles 35 and 36 of the GDPR, to the extent Awssome has the necessary information. Awssome will allow Publisher, in a manner consistent with the functionality of the Solution, to access, rectify or delete or limit the processing of Publisher's Personal Data, as appropriate, including through the deletion option offered by Awssome as set forth in Section 7 (Deletion during the Term), and to export Publisher's Personal Data, in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR. During the Term, if Awssome receives a request from a Data Subject regarding Publisher Personal Data, Awssome will advise the Data Subject to submit its request to Publisher or to submit such request directly to Publisher and it will be Publisher's responsibility to respond to such request. Publisher agrees that Awssome will provide reasonable assistance to comply with any obligation to respond to requests from Data Subjects, including, where applicable, Publisher's obligation to respond to requests to exercise the Data Subject's rights under Chapter III of the GDPR, consistent with the commitments set forth in this Section 16, to the extent Awssome is able to respond to such requests.During the term of the agreement, Awssome agrees that the Publisher's personal data will only be hosted within the European Union. The Publisher gives permission for Awssome to use affiliates as subcontractors and for other third parties listed in appendix 3 as subcontractors. Awssome will make sure that these subcontractors only access and process the Publisher's personal data as needed to fulfill their subcontracting responsibilities and that they follow the terms of the agreement, including the provisions in this data processing agreement. Awssome will also remain responsible for the subcontractors' actions and for any obligations that have been subcontracted to them. If a new subcontractor not listed in appendix 3 is used during the term, Awssome will tell the Publisher about it (including the subcontractor's name, location, and activities) by email at least 30 days before the subcontractor starts processing any of the Publisher's data. The Publisher can object to the new subcontractor by ending the terms immediately in writing within 30 days of being notified. This is the Publisher's only remedy if they object to a new subcontractor. The GDPR requires Awssome to collect certain information and keep records about the subcontractors it uses, including their names and contact details, and to make this information available to supervisory authorities. The liability cap in the terms covering the provision of the solution, of which this data processing agreement is a part, will apply to any breach of this agreement or any harm resulting from Awssome's failure to follow the GDPR. Neither party can assign their rights or obligations without the other party's written permission, except in the case of a reorganization or change of control affecting one of the parties.

Awssome will process the Publisher's Personal Data indicated above for the following purposes:
Duration of the ProcessingThe period during which Awssome will carry out its Processing activities The term of the Terms plus the period from the date of expiry of this Term until Awssome deletes all Publisher Personal Data in accordance with the Data Processing Agreement, including the application of an additional retention period (legal obligation to retain accounting records, 10 years)
As of the Date of Availability, Awssome will implement and maintain the Security Measures described in this Appendix 3 to the Data Processing Agreement. Awssome may periodically update or modify such Security Measures, provided that such updates and modifications do not result in the degradation of the overall security of Provider's Systems and the Services.Infrastructure security.Server security is provided by AWS. Computer access to the server is protected both by all access control measures implemented AWS, and by the authentication procedures detailed below.
Each employee of the Service Provider has a unique login ID, which is their email address on the Service Provider's Exchange Online domain. This email address, associated with a password (see below), allows him/her to access applications whose authentication is based on AWS Directory Single Sign On (AAD SSO).An access control system identifies each user and prevents unauthorized users from accessing or using the information resources, as shown below. All users' email addresses are verified at least twice a year and all inactive email addresses are revoked.Users are required to use a password to gain access to any electronic information at both the system and desktop levels. At the system level, to access the Provider's workspace and all applications that rely on AAD SSO for authentication, a password is required in combination with the Provider user's Google email address. This password must comply with the following rules:
At the desktop level, all of the Provider's workstations and physical systems are hardened before use. This includes:
Authentication of the Provider's employees and the Publisher's Users to the Solution
The Provider's employees' access to the Solution is protected by AAD SSO mechanism on the Provider's Exchange Online Domaine, whereby Microsoft acts as a trusted third party regarding security alerts for potential login attempts to any of the Provider's employee accounts. On the Publisher's side, Users can access the platform through AWS Active Directory Single-Sign On if they have a AWS account. If preferred Awssome can issue an identifier and passwords. When a User is inactive on the Solution for a certain period of time (two weeks), they are automatically logged out and must log back in using their username and password to access the Solution again. Passwords are stored encrypted with a 256-bit AES encryption algorithm. Encryption keys are deployed in accordance with good IT security practices to prevent fraud or malicious attacks.API Key Encryption Measurements and Encryption Key Management.The Solution's API keys are encrypted. The corresponding encryption keys are generated by the application code on Azure. In accordance with good cryptographic practice, Awssome prohibits extensive reuse of encryption keys and rotates keys regularly to generate new cryptographic material. In addition, access to encryption keys is strictly limited to developers who need access to the application in production. Access is limited ("need to know basis") by implementing a mandatory justification request form that individuals are asked to complete to prove that access is legitimate and secure. Organizational Measures. Awssome educates its employees about computer security through the use use of strong passwords, and the regular testing of employees for phishing risks. A security and privacy training is carried out with the Provider's employees on a regular basis in order to refine their knowledge of the fundamental principles of the applicable regulatory texts (in particular RGPD and DSP2). The use of the cryptographic system in the software is controlled by the whole team, the developers collaborating regularly in the respect of the good practices. Awssome regularly makes its developers aware of the high sensitivity of the data they are required to process, but also of the correct procedures to follow in the event of an alert being transmitted, particularly in the event of loss or theft of the company's computer equipment.Security at Subcontractors.Prior to engaging Third-Party Contractors, Awssome audits their security and privacy practices to ensure that they provide a level of security and privacy appropriate to their access to data and the scope of services they are asked to provide. Once Awssome has assessed the risks presented by the Subcontractor, the Subcontractor is then, subject always to the requirements set forth in Section 18 of this TSA, required to commit to appropriate contractual terms and conditions for security, confidentiality and privacy.
1. Service Availability Level
Awssome agrees to make the Solution available to Users for at least 99.9% of the time ("Solution Availability"). The Solution Availability will be calculated monthly by applying the following formula: Solution Availability = [(Actual Availability divided by Total Scheduled Availability) multiplied by 100%]. with the following definitions:"Actual Availability" means Total Scheduled Availability (in minutes) less Interruptions (in minutes)."interruption" refers to the time when the solution is unavailable, meaning that users cannot access it. Any partial or temporary malfunction of the solution that does not change its basic functions, as well as any unavailability due to the following events or factors ("Exclusions"), will not be considered an interruption: force majeure; the Publisher or any user using the solution in a way that goes against the terms or documentation; maintenance of the solution as defined in the terms; suspensions of access to the solution that are permitted by the terms; any unavailability caused by an event beyond Awssome's control, such as the failure of a third party technology or the Publisher's or a third party's environment (e.g. Publisher's internet network) to function properly; any unavailability caused by the Publisher's data. "Solution Maintenance" means the time (in minutes) that the Solution is not available to Publisher due to maintenance of the Solution, including maintenance and upgrade operations of the Solution and third party solutions used by Awssome to provide the Solution. Maintenance of the Solution includes scheduled maintenance and unscheduled emergency maintenance. To the extent possible, Awssome will provide Publisher with reasonable written notice of any scheduled or emergency maintenance."Total Scheduled Availability" means 7 days a week, 24 hours a day in minutes.2. SLA CreditsIf the availability of the Solution in a given month is less than 99.9%, Awssomewill grant Publisher an SLA credit as defined in the table below:Solution Availability SLA Credits< 99.9% ->= 99% 2% of the monthly price paid by the Publisher< 99% ->= 95% 5% of the monthly price paid by the Publisher< 95% 10% of the monthly price paid by the Publisher Awssome will apply the SLA credits as a reduction to the Solution Price on the next invoice issued to Publisher. The SLA credits are Publisher's sole and exclusive remedy and Awssome's sole and exclusive liability for breach of the SLA.
These Support Terms and Conditions for technical support services (the "Support Terms") apply to support services offered by Awssome in connection with the provision of the Solution under the Awssome Terms of Sale and Use. Capitalized terms have the meaning given to them in the Terms.The User may submit support requests by e-mail to getintouch@awssome.io To make a request for support, the user must provide diagnostic information necessary to process the request, such as a description of the problem, the Publisher's configuration and network, and any relevant Publisher data. The user may be asked to communicate (through chat or video) with Awssome's support team to answer questions and assist with the request as needed. If necessary, Awssome's support team and/or any authorized person may access Publisher data and/or impersonate the user to access the user's environment, but this access will be limited in time and used solely for the purpose of processing the request.If Awssome thinks a support request is actually a request for a new feature, it may redirect the request internally or ask the user to log the request with the product team for consideration to be added in a future update to the solution. Awssome will provide support services while the terms are in effect and will not be required to provide support services after the terms expire or are terminated.
Awssome relies on industry leading service providers for server, hosting and infrastructure management. The Awssome application and website are hosted by an external cloud provider (AWS) with a certified high availability infrastructure and a documented disaster recovery plan.
The servers used by this provider are located within the European Union. The use of AWS allows us to deploy new versions of our application, and to ensure that you always have access to the most secure and efficient version of Awssome. Your data processed by the Awssome application is stored by AWS on servers also hosted within the European Union.
These hosting services offer industry-leading scalability, data availability, security and performance, with a documented business continuity plan.
These hosting providers are certified to leading international standards, including ISO/IEC 27001, and are audited annually by an independent body. Their data centers have 24/7 physical security and some of the most advanced safeguards in the world. This means our data centers are secured by the best infrastructure professionals in the business. Using AWS gives us access to levels of security and quality of service that our application can reliably rely on. In addition, all key production systems are backed up and maintain redundancy. This backup service is provided by AWS and is physically located on AWS servers within the European Union in a different availability zone than the primary server in case of physical damage to the data center.
On AWS, all of your data is encrypted, which helps prevent unauthorized access to your data (including the host itself). This way, even someone who would have physical access to the servers could not read the data. All data flows are encrypted from end to end, whether they are between the application and you, the AWS servers, or our teams.
If you have a AWS account, AWS Active Directory Single Sign-On (SSO) is used to access the application to comply with your organization authentication governance. If preferred, Awssome can issue an identifier and password to access the application. An access control system identifies each user and prevents unauthorized users from accessing or using the information resources.
Passwords are stored encrypted with a 256-bit AES encryption algorithm. Encryption keys are deployed in accordance with good IT security practices to prevent fraud or malicious attacks.
We only process personal data of our users for the purpose of providing and improving the Awssome.io application and the provision of application maintenance and support. In accordance with the GDPR, these processing operations, their legal basis, duration, and purpose are detailed in the Data Processing Agreement attached to our general terms and conditions and in our Privacy Policy.The Data Processing Agreement concerns all processing of Personal Data for which the Customer determines the purpose and means of such processing and for which we are a subcontractor. The Privacy Policy covers all processing of Personal Data for which we are the data controller. Our subcontractor AWS is also subject to the requirements of the GDPR due to the fact that the data subjects whose data we process are European and that AWS acts as subcontractor of Awssome.io, a French company subject to the GDPR.
Our users' personal data is not used for commercial purposes and is not part of our business model. Our users keep control of their data and can at any time exercise their rights to access, modify or delete their personal data by writing to getintouch@awssome.io
The security of the application is regularly tested. Any vulnerabilities found are corrected as part of our iterative process of constantly improving the security of the application.
