VII. Using processors and security measures in the event of outsourcing to a processor

Where processing must be carried out on behalf of a controller, we only use processors offering sufficient guarantees that appropriate technical and organisational measures have been implemented in such a manner that the processing meets the requirements of this regulation and guarantee that your rights will be protected.

The processor does not recruit another processor without our prior, written specific or general permission. In the event of general written permission, the processor informs us of any planned change in relation to the addition or replacement of other processors thus offering us the opportunity to object to these changes.

Processing by a processor is governed by a contract or other legal document, under EU law or the law of a Member state, between the processor and ourselves, which sets out the object and time of processing, the nature and purpose of processing, the type of personal data and the categories of data subjects, as well as our rights and obligations.

This contract or legal document stipulates, in particular that the processor:

a) processes the personal data only on documented instructions from the controller, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation, unless required to do so by Union or Member State law to which the processor is subject; in such a 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;

b) ensures that persons authorised to process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality;

c) takes all measures required in relation to the security of processing;

d) respects the conditions referred to in the aforementioned paragraphs for engaging another processor;

e) taking into account the nature of the processing, assists us by appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of our obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject’s rights;

f) assists us in ensuring compliance with our obligations taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to the processor;

g) at the choice of the controller, deletes or returns all the personal data to the controller after the end of the provision of services relating to processing, and deletes existing copies unless Union or Member State law requires storage of the personal data and,

h) makes available to us all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in this Article and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the controller or another auditor mandated by the controller.

In this respect, the processor shall immediately inform us in writing if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes this Regulation or other Union or Member State data protection provisions.

VIII. Storage period

Personal data will be stored for the duration of the contractual relationship. At the end of this relationship the data will be erased.

However, certain data may be stored for a maximum of ten years from the end of the commercial relationship to enable AUTOMATIC SYSTEMS to comply with its legal and regulatory obligations as well as those relating to liability.
