Appendix 1
Data Processing Agreement
-
Background:
- This Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is an integral part of the contract (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Contract’) between the Client and Wealth Beacon, concerning access to and use of the Platform and our services. Any terms not defined in this DPA will have the meanings assigned to them in the Terms of Service.
- Wealth Beacon and the Client are committed to adhering to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 27 April 2016 – and all other relevant data protection laws (collectively known as Data Protection Laws).
- In this DPA, terms such as ‘controller’, ‘processor’, ‘personal data’, ‘data subject’, and ‘personal data breach’ will have the meanings provided in the GDPR. The term ‘Sub-processor’ refers to any other processor engaged by Wealth Beacon to process personal data on the Platform or in relation to our services.
-
Purpose:
- Wealth Beacon offers data hosting and maintenance services through the Platform. It’s up to the Client to decide what content, including personal data, they want to process on the Platform. In this context, Wealth Beacon processes personal data solely to provide the Platform and our services. In doing so, Wealth Beacon acts as a data processor for this personal data, while the Client acts as a data controller.
-
Processing of Personal Data:
- Wealth Beacon processes personal data on behalf of Clients who sign up and use the Platform. The personal data processed by Wealth Beacon includes:
- Contact information (names, email addresses).
- Communication data (emails, messages sent to us).
- Any personal data related to using the Platform and our services, including content.
- Wealth Beacon will:
- Process personal data only based on lawful instructions from the Client, specifically for providing the Platform and services, unless Data Protection Laws require otherwise. If so, we will inform the Client in advance unless prohibited by Legal Acts.
- Ensure all individuals processing personal data commit to confidentiality.
- Alert the Client if their instructions seem to violate Data Protection Laws.
- We take appropriate technical and organisational security measures, considering the latest technology, implementation costs, processing nature, context, and purposes, and the risks to data subjects. These measures include encrypted storage and access controls, assuming that the Platform and services are used for intended purposes like financial portfolio visualisation.
- In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify the Client promptly via email and cooperate with them regarding the breach. The Client can use the information about the breach only to comply with or demonstrate compliance with Data Protection Laws and must keep this information confidential unless required to disclose it by Legal Acts.
- Wealth Beacon processes personal data on behalf of Clients who sign up and use the Platform. The personal data processed by Wealth Beacon includes:
-
Using Sub-processors
- The Client gives Wealth Beacon permission to use sub-processors as described in this section of the DPA. We’ll make sure these sub-processors agree in writing to provide the same level of data protection that we’re committed to under this DPA. We will inform the Client about any planned changes regarding new or replacement sub-processors at least 10 days before replacing or taking on another sub-processor. The Client can object to our choice of a sub-processor by letting us know in writing within 5 working days after they receive our notice. If the Client doesn’t agree with the new sub-processor, we’ll try to provide our Platform and services without using them. If this isn’t feasible, the Client may choose to terminate the Contract. We will require our sub-processors to adhere to the same data protection obligations as outlined in this agreement.
- Wealth Beacon and its sub-processors may transfer personal data outside the EU only where they have a lawful basis to do so, including to a recipient who is: (i) in a country which provides an adequate level of protection for personal data; or (ii) under appropriate safeguards that cover the EU requirements for the transfer of personal data to data processors outside the EU. More specific information about transferring personal data outside the EU is available upon request.
-
Audit rights:
- When the Client requests in writing, Wealth Beacon will provide information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and Article 28 of the GDPR, as long as we possess or control the requested information. If the Client needs more assurance, we’ll cooperate, including supporting reasonable audits or inspections initiated by the Client or their chosen and our accepted auditor. The specifics of these audits will be mutually agreed upon, but the following conditions apply:
- We’ll only provide information, records, and documents that are reasonably needed to show our compliance with this DPA and Article 28 of the GDPR in relation to personal data processed for the Client.
- We won’t disclose information that contains our business secrets.
- We won’t share any information that would violate our confidentiality obligations under laws or agreements with other Clients or individuals.
- We won’t provide details related to any ongoing, pending, or potential legal disputes between the Client and Wealth Beacon.
- Any information we provide under this section must be treated as confidential by the Client.
- The Client can conduct an audit like this once per calendar year, unless they have reasonable doubts about our compliance.
- The Client will bear the audit costs. However, if the audit uncovers any breaches or violations of this DPA by us or our sub-processors, Wealth Beacon will cover the audit costs and fix the breach.
- When the Client requests in writing, Wealth Beacon will provide information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA and Article 28 of the GDPR, as long as we possess or control the requested information. If the Client needs more assurance, we’ll cooperate, including supporting reasonable audits or inspections initiated by the Client or their chosen and our accepted auditor. The specifics of these audits will be mutually agreed upon, but the following conditions apply:
-
Liability:
- If Wealth Beacon or our sub-processors are at fault, we will be responsible for any damage caused to the Client due to processing that goes against this DPA. This includes situations where the Client has had to compensate a data subject or pay administrative fines imposed by authorities. Our liability in these cases is limited as outlined in section 6 of the Terms of Service.
-
Term and termination
- This DPA is valid as long as Wealth Beacon processes personal data on behalf of the Client. The processing of personal data will end when one of the following happens:
- The Client asks Wealth Beacon to delete or return the personal data and to stop processing it.
- Wealth Beacon’s obligation to provide the Platform and services to the Client ends permanently, either because the contract is terminated or expires.
- When the processing of personal data ends, the data will, as per the Client’s choice, either be returned to them, to the extent possible, or deleted. This is unless any Legal Acts requires Wealth Beacon to retain the personal data. The Client instructs Wealth Beacon to retain content added to the Platform for up to 75 days after the contract or trial version ends.
- Any obligations from this DPA that should logically continue after it ends (eg. confidentiality duties) will remain in effect.
- This DPA is valid as long as Wealth Beacon processes personal data on behalf of the Client. The processing of personal data will end when one of the following happens:
-
Miscellaneous
- The laws governing this DPA and how disputes are resolved are outlined in the Terms of Service.
- Any changes to this DPA must be agreed upon by the Client.
- If any part of this DPA is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the DPA will still be valid and enforceable. The invalid or unenforceable part will be either (i) modified to make it valid and enforceable, while keeping as close as possible to the original intentions, or, if that’s not possible, (ii) treated as if it was never part of the DPA. This also applies if the DPA misses any points.
- If there’s a conflict between the DPA and the Terms of Service, the terms of this DPA will take precedence.
