9.3 Mechanismen voor de doorgifte van persoonsgegevens van klanten. To the extent your use of the Services requires a cross border data transfer mechanism to lawfully export Customer Personal Data from a jurisdiction (e.g. the EEA, California, Singapore, Switzerland, the or the United Kingdom) to us located outside of that jurisdiction this section will apply. If, in the performance of the Services, Customer Personal Data that is subject to the GDPR or any other law relating to the protection or privacy of individuals that applies to this DPA is transferred to MessageBird located in countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of the Data Protection Legislation, the transfer mechanisms listed below shall apply to such transfers and can be directly enforced by the parties to the extent such transfers are subject to the Data Protection Legislation:

9.3.1 The parties agree that the Standard Contractual Clauses will apply to Customer Personal Data that is transferred via the Services from the EEA or Switzerland, either directly or via onward transfer, to a MessageBird entity located in a country outside the EEA or Switzerland that is not recognized by the European Commission (or, in the case of transfers from Switzerland, the competent authority for Switzerland) as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data.

9.3.1.1 Wanneer u optreedt als verwerkingsverantwoordelijke en MessageBird is een gegevensverwerker, zullen de EU Contractuele Standaardbepalingen voor Verwerkers van toepassing zijn op elke overdracht van persoonlijke klantgegevens vanuit de EER. Wanneer u optreedt als gegevensverwerker en MessageBird een subverwerker is, zijn de standaardcontractbepalingen voor verwerkers van toepassing op elke overdracht van persoonlijke gegevens van klanten vanuit de EER.

9.3.1.2 MessageBird wordt beschouwd als de gegevensimporteur en u als de gegevensexporteur onder de Standaard Contractuele Bepalingen. De ondertekening van deze DPA door beide partijen wordt beschouwd als ondertekening van de toepasselijke Algemene Voorwaarden, die geacht worden in deze DPA te zijn opgenomen. De krachtens bijlage 1 en bijlage 2 bij de modelcontractbepalingen vereiste details zijn beschikbaar in aanhangsel I en aanhangsel II bij deze DPA. In het geval van een conflict of inconsistentie tussen deze DPA en de modelcontractbepalingen, prevaleren de modelcontractbepalingen uitsluitend met betrekking tot een overdracht van persoonsgegevens van klanten vanuit de EER.

9.3.1.3 Waar de modelcontractbepalingen de partijen verplichten te kiezen tussen optionele clausules en informatie in te voeren, hebben de partijen dat gedaan zoals hieronder uiteengezet:

  • De facultatieve clausule 7 "Aanlegclausule" wordt niet aangenomen.

  • Voor bepaling 9 "Gebruik van subverwerkers" kiezen de partijen voor de volgende optie: "Optie 2 Algemene schriftelijke machtiging: de gegevensimporteur beschikt over de algemene machtiging van de verantwoordelijke voor de verwerking voor het inschakelen van subverwerker(s) uit een overeengekomen lijst. De gegevensimporteur stelt de verantwoordelijke voor de verwerking uitdrukkelijk schriftelijk op de hoogte van voorgenomen wijzigingen in die lijst door toevoeging of vervanging van subverwerkers, en wel ten minste tien werkdagen van tevoren, zodat de verantwoordelijke voor de verwerking voldoende tijd heeft om bezwaar te maken tegen dergelijke wijzigingen voordat de subverwerker(s) wordt/worden ingeschakeld. De gegevensimporteur verstrekt de gegevensexporteur de informatie die deze nodig heeft om zijn recht van bezwaar uit te oefenen. De gegevensimporteur stelt de gegevensexporteur in kennis van de inschakeling van de subverwerker(s).".

  • Voor clausule 11 a) "Verhaal" kiezen de partijen niet voor de optie.

  • Voor clausule 17 "Toepasselijk recht" kiezen de partijen de volgende optie: "Optie 1. Op deze clausules is het recht van een van de EU-lidstaten van toepassing, mits dat recht rechten van derden toelaat. De partijen komen overeen dat dit het recht van Nederland zal zijn."

  • Voor clausule 18 (b) "Forumkeuze en jurisdictie": "De partijen komen overeen dat dit de rechtbanken van Nederland zijn."


9.3.2 The parties agree that the UK Standaardcontractbepalingen voor verwerkingsverantwoordelijken will apply to Customer Personal Data that is transferred via the Services from the United Kingdom, either directly or via onward transfer, to a MessageBird entity located in a country outside the United Kingdom that is not recognized by the competent United Kingdom regulatory authority or governmental body for the United Kingdom as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data.

9.3.2.1 MessageBird wordt beschouwd als de gegevensimporteur en u als de gegevensexporteur volgens de UK Controller-to-Processor Standard Contractual Clauses. De ondertekening van deze DPA door beide partijen wordt beschouwd als ondertekening van de UK Controller-to-Processor Standard Contractual Clauses, die geacht worden in deze DPA te zijn opgenomen. De krachtens bijlage 1 en bijlage 2 bij de UK Controller-to-Processor Standard Contractual Clauses vereiste details zijn beschikbaar in aanhangsel I en aanhangsel II bij deze DPA. In het geval van een conflict of inconsistentie tussen deze DPA en de UK Controller-to-Processor Standard Contractual Clauses, prevaleren de UK Controller-to-Processor Standard Contractual Clauses uitsluitend met betrekking tot de overdracht van Persoonsgegevens van de Klant vanuit het Verenigd Koninkrijk.

10. Controle

10.1 Controleverslag. Our communication platform shall be regularly audited against the ISO 27001:2013 standard (or equivalent). The audit may, in our sole discretion, be an internal audit, or an audit performed by a third party. Upon written request, we will provide you with a summary of the audit report(s) (“Controleverslag”), so that you can verify our compliance with the audit standards and this DPA. Such Audit Reports, as well as any conclusions or findings specified therein, are our Confidential Information.

10.2 Verzoeken om informatie van klanten. We will make available to you all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in this DPA. We will provide written responses to reasonable requests for information made by you, including responses to information security and audit questionnaires that are reasonable in scope and necessary to confirm compliance with this DPA, provided that you (i) have first made a reasonable effort to obtain the requested information from the Documentatie, Audit Reports and other information provided or made public by us, and (ii) will not exercise this right more than once per year, unless a Personal Data Breach or significant change in our processing activities in relation to the Services require that an additional questionnaire is executed. All responses provided are our Confidential Information.

10.3 Klantcontrole. If an Audit Report provided by us to you gives you substantiated reasons to believe that we are in breach of our obligations under this DPA, related to the Customer Personal Data provided by you, we will allow an independent and qualified third party auditor appointed by you and approved by us, to audit the relevant applicable Personal Data processing activities, provided that the following requirements are met:

a. U dient ons ten minste zestig (60) dagen van tevoren in kennis te stellen van de uitoefening van het recht op controle;

Als u ons opdraagt Persoonsgegevens van Klanten te verwijderen, zullen Persoonsgegevens van Klanten die op onze back-upsystemen zijn gearchiveerd, tegen verdere verwerking worden beschermd en worden verwijderd wanneer de vereiste bewaarperiode is verstreken.

12. Communicatie en rechten van de klant

Het aangaan van deze DPA in naam en voor rekening van een gelieerde klant zoals uiteengezet in paragraaf 1.2 vormt een afzonderlijke DPA tussen ons en die gelieerde klant, met inachtneming van het volgende:

12.1. Communicatie. The Customer that is the contracting party to the Agreement shall remain responsible for coordinating all communication with us under this DPA and be entitled to make and receive any communication in relation to this DPA on behalf of its Customer Affiliates.

12.2 Rechten van gelieerde klanten. Where a Customer Affiliate becomes a party to the DPA with us, it shall to the extent required under Data Protection Legislation be entitled to exercise the rights and seek remedies under this DPA, subject to the following:

(i) Tenzij de wetgeving inzake gegevensbescherming vereist dat het Klantfiliaal zelf rechtstreeks een recht uitoefent of een rechtsmiddel aanwendt krachtens deze DPA tegen MessageBird, komen de partijen overeen dat (i) alleen de Klant die partij is bij de Overeenkomst een dergelijk recht uitoefent of een dergelijk rechtsmiddel aanwendt namens het Klantfiliaal, en (ii) de Klant die partij is bij de Overeenkomst een dergelijk recht krachtens deze DPA niet afzonderlijk voor elk Klantfiliaal afzonderlijk uitoefent, maar op een gecombineerde manier voor zichzelf en al zijn Klantfilialen samen.

(ii) De partijen komen overeen dat de Klant die de contracterende partij is bij de Overeenkomst, wanneer namens hem een on-site audit wordt uitgevoerd van de procedures die relevant zijn voor de bescherming van Persoonsgegevens van de Klant, zoals uiteengezet in Sectie 10.3 van deze DPA, alle redelijke maatregelen neemt om eventuele gevolgen voor ons te beperken door, voor zover redelijkerwijs mogelijk, verschillende auditverzoeken die namens hemzelf en al zijn met de Klant verbonden ondernemingen worden uitgevoerd, te combineren in één enkele audit.

Voor alle duidelijkheid, een gelieerde klant wordt geen partij bij de overeenkomst.

13. California Consumer Privacy Act

BIJLAGE II BIJ DE MODELCONTRACTBEPALINGEN

Where applicable, this Appendix II will serve as Annex II to the Standard Contractual Clauses. The following provides more information regarding our technical and organizational security measures set forth below.

Technische en organisatorische beveiligingsmaatregelen:
Measures of pseudonymization and protection of Personal Data in storage and transit: All Personal Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and, to the extent relevant from a security standpoint, treated as if it were classified as sensitive data. Information is always transmitted over TLS with up-to-date encryption methodologies by default.

Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, and availability and resilience of processing systems and services: we enter into agreements that contain confidentiality provisions with our employees, contractors, vendors, and Subprocessors. Our business continuity policy is to prepare our business and services in the event of extended outages caused by factors beyond our control and to restore services to the widest extent possible in a minimum time frame. We understand the services we provide are mission critical to our customers and therefore have very little tolerance for service disruptions. Our timeframes for recovery are designed to ensure we can meet our obligations to all of our customers.

Processes for regular testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures in order to ensure the security of processing: The goal of information security and our Information Security Management System (ISMS) is to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information to the organization, employees, partners, customers and the (authorized) information systems, and to minimize the risk of damage occurring by preventing security incidents and managing security threats and vulnerabilities. Our Wettelijk team, Data Protection Officer, and, Security and Compliance Team make sure that applicable regulations and standards are factored into our security frameworks.

Measures for user identification and authorization: We follow principles of “need to know“ and “least privilege”. We promote the use of role based access control. Provisioning and deprovisioning is overseen by the security team, with Single-Sign-On and 2FA by default. Owners have been defined for each information asset who are responsible for ensuring access to their systems are appropriate and reviewed on a regular basis. Whenever dealing with sensitive information or taking critical action, we use the four-eyes principle.

Measures for ensuring events logging: Audit logs are centrally stored and monitored on a regular basis for security events and are kept secure to avoid risk of tampering. The Incident Management Policy enforces the incident response plan and its procedures. These guidelines are being followed if any type of security or technical incident occurs. In the event that there are Security incidents, they will be reviewed regularly by the Security Steering Committee which consists of senior stakeholders from across the business.

Measures for ensuring systems configuration, including default configuration: We follow a consistent change management process for all the changes to the production environment of the Communication Platform as a Service. To elaborate further, all requests for changes (RFC) need to be approved by a designated party and executed according to the formal change control process. The control process ensures that changes proposed are reviewed, authorized, tested, implemented, and released in a controlled manner; and that the status of each proposed change is monitored. Configuration baselines are followed to securely configure the systems by following best-practices. Also, within the Engineering department, a tech radar is used to define which technologies (languages, platform tools, databases and data management tools) can be adopted or need to be avoided during development.

Measure for physical security: We actively promote a “Work from Anywhere” policy so our employees are free to work from any place they want. However, we still have our office premises. We have no secure areas/data center on our premises as we are a completely cloud-based company. Our office floors are protected by physical access controls, CCTV, and manned security.

Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management: We maintain a risk-based assessment security program, which includes administrative, organizational, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the Services and confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Customer Data. Our information security program is set up in a systematic and well organized way. In addition, legal and regulatory requirements apply to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information to the organization, employees, partners and customers. All these are translated into our information security policies, procedures and guidelines. We have a Security Steering Committee which is responsible for the tactical level of information security. This entails the coordination of information security activities and the translation of strategic activities to operational activities for our security, and our continuous maintenance of regulatory compliance. All employees are responsible for safeguarding company assets. All our employees are screened for expertise, experience, and integrity. Employees are informed about security and data protection aan de on-boarding stage, as well as by way of regular team-specific training, and other company-wide all-hands presentations about the importance of data protection and security compliance.MessageBird is ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified, the globally recognised information security standards for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).

All our hosting providers are ISO/IEC 27001:2013 compliant.

We are also registered with the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets. This means we’re always accountable and fully transparent with our clients.

We are an Associate Member of the Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA). The GSMA represents the interests of mobile operators across the globe.We are always up to the date with all applicable laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation.

Measures for certifications/assurance of processes and products: We undergo rigorous surveillance as well as certification audits as part of our ISO/IEC 27001:2013 compliance, and regularly execute application vulnerability and penetration testing. MessageBird takes a unified approach to patch and vulnerability management to ensure that our standard SLA timelines are maintained whether vulnerabilities exist in our underlying infrastructure, operating platforms, or source code.

Measures for application security: We ensure security of our applications during the design and development phase based on the MessageBird Secure Code Guidelines.

Appropriate corrections are implemented prior to release.

Code changes are reviewed by skilled individuals (who are familiar with code review and secure development) other than the originating developers.

Applications will undergo rigorous application security testing to identify any new threats and vulnerabilities at least annually (in accordance with industry standards and best practice).

All code changes for applications that are pushed to production environments are reviewed using manual and/or automated processes.

Penetration tests are conducted annually and case-by-case on new products/features. Automated source code analysis tools are being used to detect security defects in code prior to deployment, based on the language.

Measures for vulnerability disclosure: We appreciate security researchers who have found vulnerabilities on our platform to contact us and to send their findings to security@messagebird.com. We have a dedicated security team who follow-up and send invitations to our bug bounty program to investigate and remediate where necessary.

Measures for ensuring accountability: We implement information security and data protection policies in accordance with applicable laws and publish an overview of our ISMS relevant information (link). We have appointed a dedicated VP, Compliance and Information Security and a Data Protection Officer, and maintain documentation of our processing activities, including recording and reporting security incidents involving Personal Data where applicable.
