Last Modified: August 14, 2024

This Data Processing Addendum (the Addendum) forms part of the Phasio Subscription Agreement (and any ancillary or related documentation), as updated or amended from time to time (the Agreement), between you, the Client (as defined below) and Phasio. All capitalized terms not defined in this Addendum have the meaning set out in the Agreement.


This Addendum only applies if and to the extent Phasio processes personal data on behalf of a Client that qualifies as a controller with respect to that personal data under Applicable Data Protection Law (as defined below). If the Client had entered into earlier data processing terms with Phasio, those terms are replaced by this Addendum.


1. Data protection

1.1 Definitions

In this Addendum, the following terms have the following meanings:


a) controller, processor, data subject, personal data, processing (and process) and special categories of personal data have the meanings given in Applicable Data Protection Law


b) Applicable Data Protection Law means the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679) (the GDPR) and/or the UK General Data Protection Regulation (the UK GDPR) and any EU Member State and/or UK laws made under or pursuant to the GDPR and/or UK GDPR


c) Client has the same meaning as in the Phasio Subscription Agreement


1.2 Relationship of the parties

The Client (the controller) appoints Phasio as a processor to process the personal data described in Annex B (the Data) only on the controller’s documented instructions (and as per the terms set out in this Addendum) for the purposes described in the Agreement or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties (the Permitted Purpose). Each party must comply with the obligations that apply to it under Applicable Data Protection Law.


1.3 Prohibited data

Unless explicitly requested by Phasio to do so, the Client will not disclose (and will not permit any data subject to disclose) any special categories of personal data to Phasio for processing.


1.4 International transfers

Phasio will not transfer the Data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) nor the United Kingdom (UK) unless it has taken such measures as are necessary to ensure the transfer is in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Law. Such measures may include (without limitation) transferring the Data to a recipient in a country that the European Commission and/or the UK Secretary of State (as applicable) has decided provides adequate protection for personal data or to a recipient that has executed standard contractual clauses adopted or approved by the European Commission and/or UK Secretary of State or UK Information Commissioner (as applicable). To this end, you authorize Phasio to enter into standard contractual clauses as your agent and on your behalf with any recipient of Data who is not located in an Adequate Country where this is necessary for compliance with Applicable Data Protection Law.


1.5 Confidentiality of processing

Phasio will ensure that any person it authorizes to process the Data (an Authorized Person) will protect the Data in accordance with Phasio’s confidentiality obligations under the Agreement.


1.6 Security

Phasio will implement technical and organizational measures, as set out in Annex A, which may be amended and updated from time to time, to protect the Data (i) from accidental or unlawful destruction, and (ii) loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to the Data (a Security Incident).


1.7 Subcontracting

The Client consents to Phasio engaging third-party sub-processors to process the Data for the Permitted Purpose provided that:


(i) Phasio maintains an up-to-date list of its subprocessors, which is available on its website at the Phasio sub-processors page, which it will update with details of any change in sub-processors at least 30 days prior to the change;


(ii) Phasio imposes data protection terms on any subprocessor it appoints that require it to protect the Data to the standard required by Applicable Data Protection Law; and


(iii) Phasio remains liable for any breach of this Addendum that is caused by an act, error or omission of its sub-processors. The Client may object to Phasio’s appointment or replacement of a sub-processors prior to its appointment or replacement, provided such objection is based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. In such an event, Phasio will either not appoint or replace the sub-processors or, if Phasio determines at its sole discretion that this is not reasonably possible, the Client may suspend or terminate the Agreement without penalty (without prejudice to any fees incurred by the Client up to and including the date of suspension or termination).


1.8 Cooperation and data subjects’ rights

Phasio will provide reasonable and timely assistance to the Client (at the Client’s expense) to enable the Client to respond to:


(i) any request from a data subject to exercise any of its rights under Applicable Data Protection Law; and


(ii) any other correspondence, enquiry or complaint received from a data subject, regulator or other third party in connection with the processing of the Data. If any such request, correspondence, enquiry or complaint is made directly to Phasio, Phasio will promptly inform the Client, providing full details.


1.9 Data protection impact assessment

1.10 Security incidents

If it becomes aware of a confirmed Security Incident, Phasio will inform the Client without undue delay and will provide reasonable information and cooperation to the Client so that they can fulfill any data breach reporting obligations they may have under (and in accordance with the timescales required by) Applicable Data Protection Law. Phasio will further take reasonably necessary measures and actions to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Security Incident and keep the Client informed of all material developments in connection with the Security Incident.


1.11 Deletion or return of data

Phasio will retain the Data for a period of up to 1 year after a subscription is terminated in case the Client later needs access to it. On expiry of this period or on the Client’s earlier request, Phasio will delete or return the Data in a manner and form decided by Phasio, acting reasonably. This requirement will not apply to the extent that Phasio is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Data, or to Data it has archived on back-up systems, which Data Phasio shall securely isolate and protect from any further processing.


1.12 Audit

The Client acknowledges that Phasio is regularly audited against SOC 2 standards by an independent third-party auditor. Upon the Client’s request, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set out in the Agreement, Phasio will make available to the Client (provided that they or their independent, third-party auditor are not a competitor of Phasio) a copy of Phasio’s SOC 2 report in the same manner and form that Phasio makes it generally available to customers.
