The Agreement, including this DPA, along with Customer’s configuration of any settings or options in the Services (as Customer may be able to modify from time to time), constitute Customer’s complete and final instructions to Miro regarding the Processing of Customer Personal Data, including for purposes of the Standard Contractual Clauses, as may be applicable.

Customer further agrees that it has provided notice and obtained all consents, permissions and rights necessary for Miro and its Sub-processors to lawfully process Customer Personal Data for the purposes contemplated by the Agreement (including this DPA). 

2.4 Miro shall promptly notify Customer if it makes a determination that Customer's instructions infringe Applicable Privacy Law(s) (but without obligation to actively monitor Customer's compliance with Applicable Privacy Law(s) and in such event, Miro shall not be obligated to undertake such Processing until such time as the Customer has updated its processing instructions and Miro has determined that the incidence of non-compliance has been resolved.

2.5 Details of Data Processing: 

2.5.1 Subject matter: The subject matter of the data processing under this DPA is the Customer Personal Data. 

2.5.2 Duration: As between Customer and Miro, the duration of the processing is the term of the Agreement plus any period after the termination or expiry of the Agreement during which Miro will process Customer Personal Data in accordance with the Agreement. 

2.5.3 Purpose: Miro will process Customer Personal Data as necessary to perform the Services pursuant to the Agreement, as further instructed by Customer in its use of the Services.

2.5.5 Types of Customer Personal Data: Any Customer Personal Data submitted to the Services under Customer's Miro account. 

2.5.6 Categories of data subjects: The data subjects could include Customer's employees, consultants, agents and third parties authorized to access and use the Services as Users under Customer's Miro account and any other data subjects whose Customer Personal Data is submitted to Miro by Customer and/or its Users through the Services.

3. Subprocessing

3.1 Customer grants Miro a general authorization to subcontract the processing of Customer Personal Data to Subprocessors, including those listed at: https://m.turbidity.top/static/legal/Miro-Current-Subprocessors-List.pdf (or such other successor URL) ("Subprocessor List").

3.2 If Miro engages a new or replacement Subproccessor, Miro will:

3.2.1 update the Subprocessor List;

3.2.2 impose substantially the same data protection terms on any Subprocessor it engages as contained in this DPA (including data transfer provisions, where applicable); and 

3.2.3 remain liable to Customer for any breach of this DPA caused by an act, error or omission of such Subprocessor. 

3.3 If Customer elects to be notified at least ten (10) days prior to Miro engaging a new or replacement Subprocessor, Customer must subscribe to such notifications via the customer notification portal here;

3.4 Customer may object to Miro’s  appointment  of any new or replacement Subprocessor promptly in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice in accordance with (3.2.1) and on reasonable grounds related to Subprocessor's ability to comply with Applicable Privacy Law(s). In such a case, the parties shall discuss Customer´s concerns in good faith with a view to achieving a commercially reasonable resolution. If the parties cannot reach such resolution, Miro shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to either not appoint the disputed Subprocessor, or permit Customer to suspend or terminate the applicable Order and/or the Agreement. These procedures are Customer’s exclusive remedy and Miro’s entire liability for resolving Customer’s objections to Miro’s appointment of Subprocessor’s under this DPA. 

4. Cooperation

4.1 Miro shall reasonably cooperate with Customer to enable Customer to respond to any requests, complaints or other communications from data subjects and regulatory or judicial bodies relating to the processing of Customer Personal Data, including requests from data subjects seeking to exercise their rights under Applicable Privacy Law(s).  In the event that any such request, complaint or communication is made directly to Miro, Miro shall, once it has identified the request is from or related to a data subject for whom the Customer is responsible, pass this onto Customer and shall not respond to such communication without Customer's express authorization (unless required to do so in order to comply with applicable law(s)).

4.2 To the extent Miro is required under Applicable Privacy Law(s), Miro will assist Customer to conduct a data protection impact assessment and, where legally required, consult with applicable data protection authorities in respect of any proposed processing activity that presents a high risk to data subjects.

4.3 Taking into account the nature of the processing, Customer agrees that it is unlikely that Miro would become aware that Customer Personal Data transferred under the DPF and/or Standard Contractual Clauses, as may be applicable, is inaccurate or outdated. Nonetheless, if Miro becomes aware that Customer Personal Data transferred under the DPF and/or Standard Contractual Clauses, as may be applicable, is inaccurate or outdated, it will inform Customer without undue delay. Miro will reasonably cooperate with Customer to erase or rectify inaccurate or outdated Customer Personal Data transferred hereunder.

5. Data Access & Security Measures

Customer acknowledges that the Security Measures are subject to technical progress and development and that Miro may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time, provided that such updates and modifications do not degrade or diminish overall security of the Services.

6. Security Incidents 

In the event of a Security Incident, Miro shall inform Customer without undue delay and will provide written details of the Security Incident to Customer, including the type of data affected and the identity of affected person(s), once such information becomes known or available to Miro.  Miro shall, to the extent possible, provide timely information and cooperation to Customer to allow Customer to fulfill its data breach reporting obligations under Applicable Privacy Law(s) and shall take reasonable steps to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Security Incident. The obligations herein shall not apply to Security Incidents that are caused by the Customer or its Users.

7. Security Reports & Inspections

7.1 Upon request, Miro shall provide copies of any certifications, audit report summaries and/or other relevant documentation it holds, where reasonably required by Customer to verify Miro's compliance with this DPA. 

7.2 While it is the parties' intention ordinarily to rely on Miro's obligations set forth in Section 7.1 to verify Miro's compliance with this DPA, following a confirmed Security Incident or where a data protection authority requires it, Customer may provide Miro with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice requesting that a third-party conduct an audit of Miro's operations and facilities ("Audit"); provided that: (i) any Audit shall be conducted at Customer’s expense; (ii) the parties shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing and duration of the Audit; (iii) the Audit shall not unreasonably impact Miro's regular operations.

7.3 Any written responses or Audit described in this Section 7 shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement.  The parties agree that any audit provisions described in Clause 8.9 of EU SCCs, where applicable, shall be carried out in accordance with this Section 7 (Security Reports & Instructions). 

8. International Data Transfers

8.1 Customer Personal Data that Miro processes under the Agreement may be processed in any country in which Miro, its Miro Subsidiaries and Sub-processors maintain facilities to perform the Services, as further detailed in the Subprocessor List. Miro shall not process or transfer Customer Personal Data (nor permit such data to be processed or transferred) outside of EEA, Switzerland or UK, unless it first takes such measures as are necessary to ensure the transfer is in compliance with Data Protection Law.

8.2 The parties agree that the DPF applies with respect to Restricted Transfers of Customer Personal Data to the US from the EEA and/or Switzerland as Miro is certified under the DPF program and complies with the DPF Principles when processing such Customer Personal Data. If Miro’s certification under the DPF is revoked or otherwise invalidated, Miro shall inform Customer where applicable and upon request, take reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate any unauthorized processing by providing an Alternative Transfer Mechanism (such as Standard Contractual Clauses), as outlined in this Section.
