In the course of the fulfillment of the contract between MindsetMaps International, Inc (the “Processor”) and the AUTHORIZED COACH (the “Controller”, together with the Processor the “Parties”) regarding the provision of the Processor’s webportal, materials and intellectual property to the Controller (the “Contract”), it is possible that the Processor deals with personal data i.e. any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (e.g. names, email addresses of persons who are the Controller’s customers), with regard to which the AUTHORIZED COACH acts as a controller pursuant to data protection law (the “Customer Data‟). This agreement (the “Agreement”) specifies the data protection obligations and rights of the Parties in connection with the Processor’s use of Customer Data to render the services under the Contract.
II. Applicable Law
“Applicable Law(s)” means all applicable laws, regulations, and other legal or regulatory requirements in any jurisdiction relating to privacy, data protection, security, or the processing of personal data, including without limitation (i) the California Consumer Privacy Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq. (“CCPA” and subsequent California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 “CPRA”), (ii) the General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), (iii) in respect of the United Kingdom, the Data Protection Act 2018 (“UK DPA 2018”) and the GDPR as saved into United Kingdom law by virtue of section 3 of the United Kingdom’s European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “UK GDPR”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Processor’s processing activities involving personal data are not within the scope of an Applicable Law, such law is not applicable for purposes of this DPA.
III. Scope of the Processing
1. The Processor shall process the Customer Data on behalf and in accordance with the instructions of the Controller within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR.
2. The processing of Customer Data by the Processor occurs in the manner and the scope and for the purpose determined in Annex 1 to this Agreement; the processing relates to the types of personal data and categories of data subjects specified therein. The duration of processing corresponds to the term of the Contract.
3. The Processor reserves the right to anonymize or aggregate the Customer Data in such a way that it is no longer possible to identify individual data subjects, and to use them in this form for the purpose of developing and optimizing as well as rendering of the services agreed as per the Contract. The Parties agree that anonymized and aggregated Customer Data are not considered Customer Data for the purposes of this Agreement.
4. The Processor may process and use the Customer Data for the Processor´s own purposes as controller to the extent legally permitted by data protection law. This Agreement does not apply to such data processing.
5. The Controller authorizes the Processor to make international transfers of Customer Data in accordance with this DPA and Applicable Law.
IV. Right of the Controller to Issue Instructions
1. The Processor processes the Customer Data in accordance with the instructions of the Controller unless the Processor is legally required to do otherwise. In the latter case, the Processor shall inform the Controller of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest.
2. The instructions of the Controller are in principle conclusively stipulated and documented in the provisions of the Agreement. Individual instructions which deviate from the stipulations of this Agreement or which impose additional requirements shall require the Processor’s consent.
3. The Processor shall ensure that the Customer Data is processed in accordance with the instructions given by the Controller. If the Processor is of the opinion that an instruction given by the Controller infringes this Agreement or applicable data protection law, the Processor is after correspondingly informing the Controller entitled to suspend the execution of the instruction until the Controller confirms the instruction. The Parties agree that the sole responsibility for the processing of the Customer Data in accordance with the instructions lies with the Controller
V. Legal Responsibility of the Controller
1. The Controller is solely responsible for the permissibility of the processing of the Customer Data and for safeguarding the rights of data subjects in the relationship between the Parties.

2. The Controller is responsible to provide the Processor with the Customer Data in time for the rendering of services according to the Contract and the Controller is responsible for the quality of the Customer Data.

VI. Requirements for Personnel and Systems

The Controller may have the right to review the technical and organizational measures according to Art. 32 GDPR.
VIII. Engagement of Further Processors
