Subscriber specifically acknowledges that its use of the Services will not violate the rights of any Data Subject that has opted-out from sales or other disclosures of Personal Data, to the extent applicable under Data Protection Laws. Subscriber acknowledges that in no event will the Services or Documentation constitute legal advice from RideSuite and that, as between Subscriber and RideSuite, Subscriber bears all liability for its implementation and use of the Services, except as otherwise provided in this DPA or the Master Subscription Agreement.
4.3 RideSuite’s Processing of Personal Data. RideSuite shall treat Personal Data as confidential and shall only Process Personal Data on behalf of and in accordance with Subscriber’s documented instructions unless such Processing is required by Data Protection Laws. Subscriber instructs RideSuite (and authorises RideSuite to instruct each Sub-processor) to Process Personal Data for the following purposes: (i) Processing in accordance with the Master Subscription Agreement; (ii) Processing initiated by Subscriber’s End Users in their use of the Services; or (iii) Processing to comply with other documented reasonable instructions provided by Subscriber (e.g. via email) where such instructions are consistent with the terms of the Master Subscription Agreement.
4.4 Details of the Processing. The subject matter of Processing of Personal Data by RideSuite is the performance of the Services pursuant to the Master Subscription Agreement. The duration of the Processing, the nature and purpose of the Processing, the types of Personal Data Processed and the categories of Data Subjects for whom Personal Data is Processed are set forth in Schedule 1.
4.5 Confidentiality. RideSuite shall ensure that its personnel engaged in the Processing of Personal Data are informed of the confidential nature of the Personal Data, have received appropriate training on their responsibilities and have executed written confidentiality agreements.
4.6 Security Controls. RideSuite shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to maintain the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Personal Data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful Processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data.

RideSuite shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify Subscriber of any requests from Data Subjects seeking to exercise their rights under Data Protection Laws and, taking into account the nature of the Processing, assist Subscriber by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, to assist with Subscriber’s obligation to respond to such requests. To the extent that Personal Data is not accessible to Subscriber, in its use of the Services, RideSuite shall, where legally permitted and upon Subscriber’s request, provide commercially reasonable efforts to assist Subscriber in responding to such requests if responses to such requests are required by Data Protection Laws. To the extent legally permitted, Subscriber shall be responsible for any costs arising from RideSuite’s provision of such assistance.
4.8 Data Protection Impact Assessment. RideSuite shall, upon Subscriber’s written request and taking into account the nature of processing and information available, provide reasonable assistance to Subscriber in connection with obligations under Article 36 of the GDPR or equivalent provisions under Data Protection Laws.
4.9 Return or Deletion of Personal Data. Upon the termination of Controller’s access to and use of the Service, Processor will, up to thirty (30) days following such termination at the choice of the Controller either (a) permit Controller to export its Service Data, at its expense; or (b) delete all Service Data in accordance with the capabilities of the Service in accordance with Article 28 (3) (g) of the GDPR. Following such period, Processor shall delete all Service Data stored or Processed by Processor on behalf of Controller in accordance with Processor’s deletion policies and procedures. Controller expressly consents to such deletion, unless storage of the Personal Data is required by applicable Data Protection Laws.
4.10 Processor Point of Contact. If Subscriber has any questions related to Processing of Personal Data by RideSuite, Subscriber may send such questions to the following email: [email protected].
5. Sub-Processors
5.1 Current Sub-processors. Subscriber hereby agrees that RideSuite shall use the list of Sub-processors located at https://www.ridesuite.com/company/legal/sub-processor-policy/ to deliver the Services.
5.2 Appointment of Sub-processors. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that RideSuite may engage Sub-processors in connection with provision of the Services. RideSuite shall enter into a written agreement with any engaged Sub-processor that contains data protection obligations no less protective than those contained 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.
5.3 Notification of new Sub-processors. Subscribers may request to receive email notifications of updates to RideSuite’s Sub-processor Policy, including updates to the list of Sub-processors that are used or which RideSuite proposes to use to deliver its Services, by emailing [email protected]. If a Subscriber has requested to receive updates, RideSuite shall provide the Subscriber with notification of new Sub-processor(s) at least twenty (20) business days before authorising such new Sub-processor(s) to Process Personal Data in connection with the provision of the applicable Services.
5.4 Objection to new Sub-processors. Subscriber may object to RideSuite’s use of a new Sub-processor by notifying RideSuite in writing within ten (10) business days following receipt of RideSuite’s communication advising of the new Sub-processor. Such objection shall describe Subscriber’s legitimate reason(s) for objection. If Subscriber does not object during such time period, the new Sub-processor(s) shall be deemed accepted.
RideSuite shall have the right to cure the objection by using reasonable efforts to make available to Subscriber a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Subscriber’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening Subscriber.
If RideSuite is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period, which shall not exceed ninety (90) days, Subscriber may terminate the affected Services by providing written notice to RideSuite in accordance with Section 3 of the Master Subscription Agreement. RideSuite will refund Subscriber any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the applicable Subscription Term with respect to such terminated Services as of the effective date of termination, without imposing a penalty for such termination on Subscriber.
5.5 The Service provides links to integrations with Non-RideSuite Services, including, without limitation, certain Non-RideSuite Services which may be integrated directly into Controller’s account or instance in the Service. If Controller elects to enable, access, or use such Non-RideSuite Services, its access and use of such Non-RideSuite Services is governed solely by the terms and conditions and privacy policies of such Non-RideSuite Services, and Processor does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for, and makes no representations as to any aspect of such Non-RideSuite Services, including, without limitation, their content or the manner in which they handle Service Data (including Personal Data) or any interaction between Controller and the provider of such Non-RideSuite Services. The providers of Non-RideSuite Services shall not be deemed Sub-processors for any purpose under this DPA.
5.6 Liability. RideSuite shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors to the same extent RideSuite would be liable if performing the services of each Sub-processor directly under the terms of this DPA, except as otherwise set forth in the Master Subscription Agreement.
6. Personal Data Incidents
RideSuite shall notify Subscriber without undue delay after becoming aware of a Personal Data Incident. RideSuite shall make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of such Personal Data Incident and take those steps necessary and reasonable to remediate the cause of such a Personal Data Incident to the extent the remediation is within RideSuite’s reasonable control.

Subscriber agrees to allow transfer of Personal Data outside the country from which it was originally collected provided that such transfer is required in connection with the provision of Services under the Master Subscription Agreement and such transfers take place in accordance with Data Protection Laws, including, without limitation, completing any prior assessments required by Data Protection Laws.
7.2 European Specific Provisions. Where RideSuite transfers Personal Data collected in the European Economic Area to a country outside of the European Economic Area and without an adequacy finding under Article 45 of the GDPR, at least one of the transfer mechanisms listed below shall apply:
- Binding Corporate Rules. To the extent RideSuite has adopted Binding Corporate Rules, it shall maintain such rules and promptly notify Subscriber in the event that the rules are no longer a valid transfer mechanism between RideSuite and Subscriber.
- EU Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”).

To the extent there is any conflict between this DPA and the SCCs, the terms of the SCCs shall prevail.
8. Certifications and Audits
Upon written request, RideSuite, to the extent that it is acting as a Processor to Subscriber, shall make available to Subscriber that is not a competitor of RideSuite (or Subscriber’s independent, third-party auditor that is not a competitor of RideSuite) information regarding RideSuite’s compliance with the obligations set forth under Data Protection Laws, provided that RideSuite shall have no obligation to provide commercially confidential information. On no more than an annual basis, RideSuite shall, to the extent that it is acting as a Processor to Subscriber, following a request by Subscriber and at Subscriber’s expense, further allow for and contribute to audits and inspections by Subscriber or its authorised third-party auditor that shall not be a competitor of RideSuite. The scope, timing and duration of any such audits, including conditions of confidentiality, shall be mutually agreed upon by RideSuite and Subscriber prior to initiation. Subscriber shall promptly notify RideSuite with information regarding non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit, and RideSuite shall use commercially reasonable efforts to address any confirmed non-compliance.

8.3 The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any sub-processor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any sub-processor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).
Clause 9
Governing Law
The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
Clause 10
Variation of the contract
The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.
Clause 11
Sub-processing
11.1 The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the sub-processor which imposes the same obligations on the sub-processor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the sub-processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations under such agreement.
11.2 The prior written contract between the data importer and the sub-processor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
11.3 The provisions relating to data protection aspects for sub-processing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
11.4 The data exporter shall keep a list of sub-processing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5(j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter’s data protection supervisory authority.
Clause 12
Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services
12.1 The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the sub-processor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
12.2 The data importer and the sub-processor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.

Description of the technical and organisational security measures implemented by the data importer in accordance with Clauses 4(d) and 5(c) (or document/legislation attached):
As of the Effective Date of this DPA, our sub-processors, when Processing Personal Data on behalf of Controller, shall implement and maintain the following technical and organisational security measures for the Processing of such Personal Data:
- Physical Access Controls: our sub-processors shall take reasonable measures, such as security personnel and secured buildings, to prevent unauthorised persons from gaining physical access to Personal Data, or ensure third parties operating data centres on its behalf are adhering to such controls.
- System Access Controls: Processor shall take reasonable measures to prevent Personal Data from being used without authorisation. These controls shall vary based on the nature of the Processing undertaken and may include, among other controls, authentication via passwords and/or two-factor authentication, documented authorisation processes, documented change management processes and/or, logging of access on several levels.
- Data Access Controls: Processor shall take reasonable measures to provide that Personal Data is accessible and manageable only by properly authorised staff, direct database query access is restricted and application access rights are established and enforced to ensure that persons entitled to use a data processing system only have access to the Personal Data to which they have privilege of access; and, that Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified or removed without authorisation in the course of Processing.
- Transmission Controls: Processor shall take reasonable measures to ensure that it is possible to check and establish to which entities the transfer of Personal Data by means of data transmission facilities is envisaged so Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified or removed without authorisation during electronic transmission or transport.
- Input Controls: Processor shall take reasonable measures to provide that it is possible to check and establish whether and by whom Service Data has been entered into data processing systems, modified or removed; and, any transfer of Personal Data to a third-party service provider is made via a secure transmission.
- Data Protection: Reasonable measures are taken to ensure that Personal Data is protected against accidental destruction or loss.
- Logical Separation: Data from different Subscribers is logically segregated on systems managed by the Processor to ensure that Personal Data within Service Data that is collected by different Controllers is segregated from one another.
