For the provision of the services detailed in the General Contracting Conditions, Adsviu, as Data Processor (“Processor”), shall access and process on behalf of the Client, who holds the position of Data Controller (“Controller”), personal data for the purpose of carrying out the contracted services.
These figures and their obligations are defined in Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (“GDPR”) and in Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights (“LOPDGDD”), laws under which the following Data Processing Agreement (“Data Processing Agreement”) is signed:
Unless expressly instructed otherwise in writing by the Controller to change this situation, the Data Processor may only carry out the following processing activities:
a) Collection (capturing information where personal data exists).
b) Recording (enter or record information in some kind of automated or non-automated system or device for subsequent processing).
c) Organization (arranging and structuring the information to facilitate its processing).
d) Retention (keeping the information for a certain period of time).
e) Extraction (obtaining the information from an original system or device for sending or transferring it to another system or device)
f) Query (searching for data within the system or device where it is registered).
g) Transmission by communication (sending the data to another recipient from its original system or device through electronic means).
h) Disclosure or any other form of making available, comparing, interconnecting, or communicating, (making the information registered in a system or device available to other users or recipients).
i) Deletion (erasing or making the information disappear from the system or device where it is originally registered).
The processing activities will be carried out on the identification data, contact data, and browsing data of the Controller’s users.
The Controller shall:
a) Provide the Processor with the personal data to be processed.
b) Communicate to the Processor any changes in the processing of personal data that may require a change in the applicable security measures.
c) Fulfill the obligations required of it due to its status, in accordance with the current regulations.
d) Supervise the processing and carry out inspections and audits when necessary.
The Processor shall:

b) Keep a record of processing activities when legally required to do so.
c) Not transfer personal data to third parties without the prior express consent of the Controller.
d) Inform the Controller when it considers that the instructions contravene the GDPR or LOPDGDD.
e) Make available to the Controller all necessary information to demonstrate compliance with its obligations.
f) Allow and actively cooperate in carrying out audits or inspections, with a maximum frequency of one per year, upon prior notice of at least 30 days, and the costs of which shall be borne by the Controller.

The Controller generally authorizes the Processor to subcontract third parties for services that involve the processing of personal data.
In any case, and whenever subcontracting takes place, the sub-processor is also obliged to comply with the obligations established in this Data Processing Agreement for the Processor. In the event of non-compliance, the initial Processor shall remain fully liable to the Controller for compliance with the obligations set forth in this document.
The Processor, or sub-processor, shall not transfer personal data to a third country outside the European Union or to an international organization unless it can guarantee that the data will have an adequate or similar level of protection in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, as well as the guidelines and opinions issued by the European Commission. This location affects not only to the headquarters of the Processor but also the location of each of the physical resources it uses to implement the service, whether directly or subcontracted.
The Processor shall indemnify the Controller for all damages (including fines and penalties imposed by the Spanish Data Protection Agency or other competent authorities) arising from a breach of this Data Processing Agreement by the Processor or any sub-processor.
If the Processor uses the data for purposes other than those stipulated, transfers them, or, in general, breaches the conditions of this agreement, it shall also be considered Data Controller, and shall be personally liable for the breaches that he/she may have incurred in accordance with the applicable legislation at any given time.
