This Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) supplements any online or other Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy (together and individually, the “Agreement”) with clients (“Client” or “you”) insofar as they relate to processing of data subject to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). To the extent this DPA conflicts with our Terms and Conditions or our Privacy Policy, this DPA will control. Capitalized terms used in this DPA shall have the same meaning set forth for those terms in the GDPR, unless a different meaning is specified herein.
ResortPass (“ResortPass,” “we,” or “us”) is a software as a service provider, using our software, platforms, applications, and any other services (“Services”). As such, we act as a “Processor” under the GDPR. As one of our clients, you control the means and purposes for the processing of the data you gather using the Services, and thus, you are a Controller under the GDPR. Unless otherwise agreed between us in writing, those items the GDPR requires of Processors will be our responsibility, and those items required of Controllers will be your responsibility. Specifically, the parties agree as follows:
We have incorporated this DPA into any Terms and Conditions to which the DPA is attached, and it is also binding as a stand-alone document if we have not entered into any Terms and Conditions with you. Therefore, it is binding on both parties without further action on your part. Each provision of the DPA, including the provisions of the Standard Contractual Clauses attached hereto, is enforceable against the parties as if it had been separately signed.
When you use the Services, you may obtain Personal Data about your customers, employees, prospects, marketplace partners, vendors, suppliers, or other individuals with whom you interact, or about whom you gather personal data (“Your Personal Data”), using the Services (the individuals whose data is collected being collectively and individually referred to as “Your Data Subjects”). That Personal Data may be subject to the protections of the GDPR. For purposes of clarity, the parties agree that Your Personal Data does not include data that is anonymized or de-identified in a manner that prevents the tracking or identification of any specific individual. Acknowledging that certain of your obligations as a Controller must be passed along to any company or individual that Processes the Personal Data of Your Data Subjects, we agree to perform the following functions and to facilitate your compliance with the GDPR in the following ways:
1.1 Right of Access by Data Subject and Communication with Authorities and Your Data Subjects
We agree that, in order to assist you in your obligations as a Controller, we will implement the necessary technical and organizational measures to allow you to (1) respond to any request by any individual to exercise his or her rights under the GDPR, and (2) respond to correspondence, inquiries, or complaints from entitled third parties such as individuals, regulators, courts, and other authorities in connection with the processing of Personal Data. If any such requests or correspondence is received directly by us, we will forward you the request or correspondence and will wait for further direction from you before taking action. We will not communicate with authorities or Your Data Subjects without receiving your advance permission, except as required by applicable law. Upon documented request from you, we will correct, supplement, modify or delete any of Your Personal Data, except as required by applicable law.
1.2 Use Limitation
We agree that we will not use or process any of Your Personal Data for any purpose other than the purpose set forth in the Agreement or in a separate agreement with you, except to respond to specifically document requests from you regarding Your Personal Data. In no event will we process, use, or transfer any of Your Personal Data for our own purposes or for the purposes of any third party. In addition, we will delete all Your Personal Data from our systems thirty (30) days after termination of the Agreement, except as may be required by applicable law.
1.3 Standard Contractual Clauses, Privacy Shield, and International Transfers of Data
To the extent your transfer of Your Personal Data to us involves a transfer out of the EU, we agree to comply with the Standard Contractual Clauses attached hereto. We have not obtained certification under the Privacy Shield Framework (“Privacy Shield”) for the EU or Switzerland, but we agree to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and the Standard Contractual Clauses nonetheless.
In the event of any conflict between the Standard Contractual Clauses and this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall control and supersede. If the European Union or courts thereof decide that the Standard Contractual Clauses or Privacy Shield certification are insufficient protection for citizens of the EU, then the parties agree to work in good faith together to determine how a new valid method can be implemented to meet any new requirements. We agree that we will not process or transfer any of Your Personal Data originating from the European Economic Area in any country or territory that has been determined to offer an inadequate level of data protection unless it has first obtained your consent or ensured that a valid transfer mechanism similar to the Privacy Shield is in place with respect to such country or territory.
1.4 Processing Confidentiality and Agreements by Agents
We agree that we will keep Your Personal Data strictly confidential and that we will ensure that any of our employees, vendors, or other agents “Our Agents” who have access to Your Personal Data (1) are informed of and subject to this strict duty of confidentiality; (2) access and process only such of Your Personal Data as is strictly to perform our obligations under the Agreement; and (3) agree not to permit any person to process Your Personal Data who is not subject to the foregoing duties. We accept responsibility for the conduct of Our Agents in this regard, including their acts, errors and omissions.
1.5 Disposition of Your Personal Data Upon Request or Termination
At your request or at termination of the Agreement, whichever is sooner, we agree to delete or return to you all Your Personal Data, including any of Your Personal Data subcontracted to a third party for processing, except as required by applicable law. At that time, with respect to Your Personal Data that we are required by applicable law to retain, we will isolate and protect Your Personal Data from further processing, except as required by applicable law. We will ensure that any of our sub-processors who are in possession of Your Personal Data shall also comply with this provision.
1.6 Security Incidents and Security
We will at all times take reasonable measures to ensure that Your Personal Data is adequately protected in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR. To this end, we agree that we will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Your Personal Data from security incidents. These measures are described in Appendix 2 to the Standard Contractual Clauses attached to this DPA.
When we become aware of any security incident, which consists of the unpermitted, accidental, or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to any of Your Personal Data, we will inform you without any undue delay, and in no event longer than 72 hours after we discover the security incident. We will cooperate reasonably with you and provide you the information you need in order to fulfill your data breach obligations under the GDPR. We will also take other further measures and actions that are necessary to remedy or mitigate the effects of the security incident, and we will keep you informed of every material development connected with the security incident. Except as required by law, we will not take action to notify Your Data Subjects of any security incident.
1.7 Subprocessors
In the course of providing our Services, we may be required to contract with a third-party processor (“Subprocessor”) to perform a portion of the Services. We will disclose our Subprocessors to you upon request. We agree to impose the same data protection obligations upon each of our Subprocessors that we agree to in this DPA, and we agree to be fully responsible for any liability arising out of the acts and omissions of our Subprocessors. For the avoidance of doubt, the approval requirements as set out in this subsection will not apply in cases where we subcontract ancillary services to third parties without having access to Your Personal Data. Such ancillary services are not considered data processing.
1.8 Audits, Requests from Law Enforcement, and Impact Assessment
In certain instances, you as a Controller are required to submit to an audit to show that you are complying with the provisions of the GDPR. In any such instance, we agree to cooperate fully with such audit and to maintain a record of all processing activities that we carry out on your behalf. After reasonable notice, we will allow you or your auditors to audit our compliance with this DPA, to include communication with our staff and access to our systems and information; provided you conduct your audit during normal business hours and make reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to our business. If we are requested by law enforcement to disclose any of Your Personal Data, we will, unless prohibited by law, inform you of the request, attempt to re-direct the law enforcement agency to contact you directly, and only provide such information as required by law. In the event that you believe that our processing of Your Personal Data is likely to result in a high risk to the data protection rights and freedoms of citizens of the EU, we agree to assist you in a reasonable and timely manner to conduct a data protection impact assessment, which may include consulting with the relevant data protection authority.
As a Controller under the GDPR, you are required to carry out certain responsibilities and to comply with certain requirements. For example, and without intending to limit your obligations, you are required to comply with the privacy and confidentiality provisions of the GDPR, just as we are. You are also required in certain instances to ensure that the consent of Data Subjects is obtained and that collection of Your Personal Data is otherwise justified under the GDPR. We acknowledge that in doing so, you are required to ensure that your Processors also comply with certain requirements, and we agree to reasonably cooperate with your requests in this regard. However, if you make requests of us that go beyond our obligations set forth in the “ResortPass's GDPR Obligations” section of this DPA, we will comply with your requests at your expense.

The data importer agrees and warrants:
(a) to process the personal data only on behalf of the data exporter and in compliance with its instructions and the Clauses; if it cannot provide such compliance for whatever reasons, it agrees to inform promptly the data exporter of its inability to comply, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;(b) that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it prevents it from fulfilling the instructions received from the data exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by the Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as soon as it is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;(c) that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures specified in Appendix 2 before processing the personal data transferred;(d) that it will promptly notify the data exporter about:(i) any legally binding request fordisclosure of the personal data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited, such as a prohibition under criminal law to preserve the confidentiality of a law enforcement investigation,(ii) any accidental or unauthorised access, and(iii) any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it has been otherwise authorised to do so;(e) to deal promptly and properly with all inquiries from the data exporter relating to its processing of the personal data subject to the transfer and to abide by the advice of the supervisory authority with regard to the processing of the data transferred;(f) at the request of the data exporter to submit its data processing facilities for audit of the processing activities covered by the Clauses which shall be carried out by the data exporter or an inspection body composed of independent members and in possession of the required professional qualifications bound by a duty of confidentiality, selected by the data exporter, where applicable, in agreement with the supervisory authority;(g) to make available to the data subject upon request a copy of the Clauses, or any existing contract for subprocessing, unless the Clauses or contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information, with the exception of Appendix 2 which shall be replaced by a summary description of the security measures in those cases where the data subject is unable to obtain a copy from the data exporter;(h) that, in the event of subprocessing, it has previously informed the data exporter and obtained its prior written consent;(i) that the processing services by the subprocessor will be carried out in accordance with Clause 11;(j) to send promptly a copy of any subprocessor agreement it concludes under the Clauses to the data exporter.
