For questions about this DPA, GDPR compliance, data privacy, data transfers, or any other privacy issues please send an email to [email protected]
  • SUB-PROCESSORS
    1. Client acknowledges and agrees that (a) Lingble’s Affiliates may be retained as Sub- processors; and (b) Lingble and Lingble’s Affiliates respectively may engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Services. Lingble or a Lingble Affiliate has entered into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this DPA with respect to the protection of Client Data to the extent applicable to the nature of the Services provided by such Sub-processor.
    2. Lingble shall make available to Client upon written request the current list of Sub-processors for the Services. Such Sub-processor lists shall include the identities of those Sub-processors and their privacy documentation. Lingble, through electronic notification to the Client shall provide notice of any new Sub-processor(s) before authorizing any new Sub-processor(s) to Process Personal Data in connection with the provision of the applicable Services.
    3. Client may object to Lingble’s use of a new Sub-processor by notifying Lingble promptly in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of Lingble’s notice in accordance with the mechanism set out in Section 4.b, stating specific reasons why Client believes that the new Sub-processor lacks sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures so as to ensure that processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR and the protection of the rights of Data Subjects. In the event Client objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentence, Lingble will use reasonable efforts to make available to Client a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Client’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening Client. Where required by applicable law, if Lingble is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, Client may terminate only the Services in any applicable Order Form(s) which cannot be provided by Lingble without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor by providing written notice to Lingble.  This section only applies to new Sub-processors engaged during the term of the Agreement and does not apply to the list of pre-approved Sub-processors available upon request from Lingble.
    4. Lingble shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors to the same extent Lingble 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 Agreement.
  • INSTRUCTIONS
    This DPA and the Agreement are Client’s complete and final documented instructions at the time of signature of the Agreement to Lingble for the Processing of Personal Data. Any additional or alternate instructions must be agreed upon separately. The following are deemed instructions by the Client to process Personal Data: (a) Processing in accordance with the Agreement and applicable Order Form(s); (b) Processing initiated by Authorized Users in their use of the Services and (c) Processing to comply with other reasonable documented instructions provided by Client (e.g., via email, Administrative Panel, etc.) where such instructions are consistent with the terms of the Agreement.
  • AUTHORIZED AFFILIATES
    1. The parties acknowledge and agree that, by executing the Agreement, Client enters into the DPA on behalf of itself and, as applicable, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, thereby establishing a separate DPA between Lingble and each such Authorized Affiliate subject to the provisions of the Agreement and this Section 7) and Section 9)b). Each Authorized Affiliate agrees to be bound by the obligations under this DPA and, to the extent applicable, the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, an Authorized Affiliate is not and does not become a party to the Agreement, and is only a party to the DPA. All access to and use of the Services by Authorized Affiliates must comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and any violation of the terms and conditions of the Agreement by an Authorized Affiliate shall be deemed a violation by Client.
    2. The Client that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall remain responsible for coordinating all communication with Lingble under this DPA and be entitled to make and receive any communication in relation to this DPA on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates.
    3. Where an Authorized Affiliate becomes a party to the DPA with Lingble, it shall to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations be entitled to exercise the rights and seek remedies under this DPA, subject to the following:
      1. Except where applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations require the Authorized Affiliate to exercise a right or seek any remedy under this DPA against Lingble directly by itself, the parties agree that (i) solely the Client that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall exercise any such right or seek any such remedy on behalf of the Authorized Affiliate, and (ii) the Client that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall exercise any such rights under this DPA not separately for each Authorized Affiliate individually but in a combined manner for itself and all of its Authorized Affiliates together (as set forth, for example, in Section 7)c)i), below).
      2. The parties agree that the Client that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall, when carrying out an audit of the procedures relevant to the protection of Personal Data, take all reasonable measures to limit any impact on Lingble and its Sub-processors by combining, to the extent reasonably possible, several audit requests carried out on behalf of itself and all of its Authorized Affiliates in one single audit.
