Tebi shall process Personal Data only on the documented instructions of Customer.

Tebi shall assist and support Customer in the event of an investigation by a competent data protection authority, if and to the extent that such investigation relates to the processing of Personal Data under this DPA. Tebi shall promptly notify Customer if in Tebi’s view an instruction given by Customer infringes an applicable law or regulation, including data protection laws, or a change in the applicable laws and regulations is likely to have a substantially adverse effect on its ability to comply with its obligations under this DPA.

h. Disclosure requests.

i. Data breach.

Tebi shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) after becoming aware, notify Customer of any facts known to Tebi concerning any actual accidental or unauthorized access, disclosure or use, or accidental or unauthorized loss, damage or destruction of Personal Data by any current or former employee, contractor or agent of Tebi or by any other person or third party. Tebi shall cooperate fully with Customer in the event of any accidental or unauthorized access, disclosure or use, or accidental or unauthorized loss, damage or destruction of Personal Data by any current or former employee, contractor or agent of Tebi or by any other person or third party, in order to limit the unauthorized disclosure or use, seek the return of any Personal Data, and assist in providing notice to competent regulators and affected individuals if requested by Customer.

b.

Upon request by Customer, Tebi shall immediately cease to process Personal Data and shall promptly return all such Personal Data, or delete the same, in accordance with such instructions as may be given by Customer at that time, unless it is required to store the Personal Data under an applicable law or regulation to which Tebi is subject or unless explicitly agreed otherwise with Customer. The obligations set out in this clause B8 shall remain in force notwithstanding termination or expiration of this DPA.

b.

Tebi shall make the processing systems, facilities and supporting documentation relevant to the processing of Personal Data available for an audit by Customer or a qualified independent assessor selected by Customer and provide all assistance Customer may reasonably require for the audit no more than one time per 12-month period. If the audit demonstrates that Tebi has breached any obligation under the DPA, Tebi shall immediately cure that breach.

c.

In case of inspection or audits by a competent governmental authority relating to the processing of Personal Data, Tebi shall make available its relevant processing systems, facilities and supporting documentation to the relevant competent public authority for an inspection or audit if this is necessary to comply with applicable laws. In the event of any inspection or audit, each party shall provide all reasonable assistance to the other party in responding to that inspection or audit. If a competent public authority deems the processing of Personal Data under this DPA unlawful, the parties shall take immediate action to ensure future compliance with applicable data protection law. Instead of on-site inspections and controls, Tebi may refer Customer to an equivalent control by independent third parties (such as neutral data protection auditors), compliance with an approved code of conduct (as referred to in Article 40 GDPR) or suitable data protection or IT security certifications pursuant to Article 42 GDPR. This applies in particular if company and business secrets of Tebi or Personal Data of third parties would be endangered by the controls.

d.

Customer will reimburse Tebi for any reasonable costs incurred by Tebi in connection with any audit or inspection by (or on behalf of) Customer or a competent governmental authority, except where such audit or inspection reveals that Tebi has materially breached any of its obligations under the DPA.

The order of precedence of individual contractual agreements shall remain unaffected thereby. Tebi reserves the right to amend this DPA at any time with effect for the future. Amendments will only be made if the following objective reasons exist:

  1. if the amendment helps to bring the DPA in line with applicable law, in particular if the applicable legal situation changes;

  2. if the amendment enables Tebi to comply with mandatory judicial or administrative decisions;

  3. if the amendment reflects details of a new or updated Tebi Service or of new or updated technical or organizational processes and the existing contractual relationship with Customer is not affected to Customer’s detriment;

  4. if the amendment is solely to Customer’s advantage.

b. Severability.

If any provision of this DPA is or becomes invalid or impracticable in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

Tebi relies on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.

Physical and environmental security: Tebi hosts its product infrastructure with multi-tenant, outsourced infrastructure providers. The physical and environmental security controls of Tebi’s infrastructure providers are audited for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS compliance, among other certifications.

Authentication: Tebi implemented a strong authentication mechanism for Tebi users accessing its customer products.

Authorization: Customer data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to customers via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model in each of Tebi’s products is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access relevant features, views, and customization options. Authorization to data sets is performed through validating the user’s permissions against the attributes associated with each data set.

c. Incident Management Control

  1. Detection: Tebi designed its infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behavior, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregate log data and alert appropriate employees of, unintended, or anomalous activities. Tebi personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel are responsive to known incidents.

  2. Response and tracking: Tebi maintains a record of known security incidents that includes descriptions, dates and times of relevant activities, and incident remediation. Suspected and confirmed security incidents are investigated by security, operations or support personnel, and appropriate resolution steps are identified and documented. For any confirmed incidents, Tebi will take appropriate steps to minimize product and customer damage or unauthorized disclosure.

  3. Communication: If Tebi becomes aware of unlawful access to customer data stored within its products, Tebi will: (i) notify the affected customers of the incident; (ii) provide a description of the steps Tebi is taking to resolve the incident; (iii) provide status updates to the customer contact, as it deems necessary or is legally required. Notification of incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of the Customer’s contacts in a form Tebi selects, which may include via email or telephone.
