Data Processing Agreement

Last Updated: Jan 25, 2021

This Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") is valid from the date Myphoner's Corporate Client starts using the service, hence having accepted and agreed with both the Terms of Service as also the terms of this "DPA", that acts as an addendum to those.

The scope of this "DPA" is therefore the Service described in those Terms of Service between:

Each Myphoner Corporate Client, hereinafter called "the Controller"

and

Myphoner AS, established at Stationsvej 1 DK-3390 Hundested, Denmark (hereinafter called "the Processor") while both also referred to as the "Parties".

The Processor enables a platform that allows users defined by the Controller (staff members) to communicate via VOIP; book meetings; record meeting conversations; exchange text messages with prospective customers, therefore reaching out to those natural persons who may become customers (prospects) or are already customers of the Controller.

This DPA, including its Annexes, bears the objective of defining and documenting a mutual commitment (by the "Parties") towards the assurance of secure and confidential Processing activities with regards to Personal Data pertaining to 3rd party natural persons (Data Subjects) who are either staff members; prospects or customers, in full compliance with the European Union Regulation 2016/679, General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR") plus other applicable Personal Data Protection Legislation, namely yet not limited), as per specific marketplace and country: CCPA (California U.S.); POPIA (South Africa); LGPD (Brazil); PDPA (Singapore).

Since the GDPR is, at present date, the most comprehensive piece of Personal Data Protection legislation enforceable on the globe and its ruling does not collide with the ruling of other existing Personal Data Protection legislation; by continuing to using the Myphoner platform the "Controller" (as also does so the "Processor"), understands and is acknowledging to have entered into this mutual commitment to the extent required under the "GDPR" by itself as well as in the name and on behalf of their "Authorized Affiliates"/ "Partner" companies towards which each party resorts as an enabler of/ contributor to the enablement of contracted "Personal Data Treatment" services between the "Parties" (inclusively as sub-Processors).

Both "Parties" agree therefore that "GDPR" is the "Personal Data" Protection Regulation which primarily determines the entire herein described contractual scope and inherent obligations since it bears, at present date, the most comprehensive and demanding set of rules and requirements towards the insurance of "Personal Data" Privacy, Security, and Confidentiality.

Both "Parties" agree that this DPA ruling overrules the content of existing agreement laid out by the "Terms of Service" that are published on Myphoner website, where applicable and in case of a dispute.

The Parties agree that both may resort to "Partners" that enable the provision of agreed "Services" towards the "Data Subject", hence entities that will proceed with "Personal Data Treatment" activities on behalf of that "Party" and are, therefore "Sub-processors" within this scope.

Both "Parties" commit to either have by themselves or having their "Affiliates" entered into a written agreement with each "Partner" that acts as "Sub-processor" containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this DPA with respect to the protection of "Personal Data" to the extent applicable to the nature of the "Services" provided by such "Sub-processor".

Such objection must clearly convey a valid motive for the objection which shall be limited to either having the complaining "Party" assessed that such "Sub-processor" does not operate in conformity with "GDPR" or the existence of relevant professional incompatible grounds between the complaining "Party" and that "Sub-processor", by means of unresolved corporate affairs or if the "Sub-processor" is a direct competitor of the complaining "Party", which would render its Corporate Core Business at risk by having one part (services, Corporate Data, Personal Data is treated by the complaining "Party", other) exposed to a competitor.

In the event one "Party" objects to a new "Sub-processor" nomination by the other "Party", as permitted and found legitimate under the preceding sentence, the "Party" which had nominated that "Sub-processor" will use reasonable efforts to make available to the complaining "Party" either a change in the "Services" or recommend a new "Sub-processor" or yet use of the "Services" in a manner that prevents "Personal Data Treatment" by the objected-to new "Sub-processor" without burdening the complaining "Party".

If the "Party" which has been informed of the objection by the other "Party" to such "Sub-processor" is unable to make the required change available within a reasonable period, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, the complaining "Party" may terminate the "Agreement" with justifiable cause.

ANNEX 3 - Specific Terms for those Corporate Clients that use the Refract Service

The Refract Service (https://www.refract.ai) is a service that allows the connection (via an API) to the segregated area of the Corporate Client in Myphoner and collects recordings for both transcription as well as analytics processing.

Refract will therefore collect information from Myphoner (that is likely to contain Personal Data pertaining to that Corporate Client customers and staff alike) and process it in an automated manner, returning a transcript and some analytics.

The Corporate Client will be sharing Myphoner's API with Refract so the connection can be established.

Since the Corporate Client is the Controller before Myphoner and Myphoner acts as a Processor, where the Corporate Client is onboarding a new Processor (Refract) this becomes a Processor before the Controller and not Myphoner; for Myphoner is NOT providing any processing instructions towards Refract, the Corporate Client is.

Given what is herein mentioned, it is up to the Corporate Client to ensure that those Data Subjects whose Personal Data will undergo processing by Refract are informed about that fact and that the Controller has a documented lawful basis for such processing activities, plus the Controller must establish a Data Processing Agreement with Refract that mirrors the commitment towards Personal Data Protection and the law.
