Scope and Roles
  • We have agreed to enter this DPA based on the Customer's belief that Customer Data may include Personal Data that originates from EU/EEA and/or that is otherwise subject to the GDPR. Accordingly, this DPA supplements the TOU and applies exclusively to our Processing of Customer Data in providing Services under the TOU to the Customer.
  • OneBanc agrees to comply with the following provisions with respect to any Personal Data Processed for the Customer in connection with the provision of the Services.
  • The Parties agree that regarding the Processing of Personal Data, we are the Data Controller and as well as Data Processor, acting on behalf of the Customer or the Bank, as further described in Annex 1 ("Details of Data Processing") of this DPA. Each Party will comply with its respective obligations under the Data Protection Law.
Processing of Personal Data
  • We are responsible for the control of Personal Data and must comply with our obligations as a Data Controller under the Data Protection Law, for justification of any transfer of Customer Data and our decisions and actions regarding the Processing and use of Personal Data.
  • We agree that it has provided notice and received all consents and rights necessary under the Data Protection Law to Process Customer Data and provide the Services.
Processing of Customer Data
  • By entering this DPA, the Customer instructs us to Process Customer Data to provide the Services in accordance with the features and functionality of the Services.
  • In connection with our delivery of the Services to the Customer, we shall Process certain categories and types of Customer Data, only for the purposes described in this DPA and only in accordance with the Customer's documented lawful instructions, including with regards to transfer of Customer data to a third country or an international organization, unless we are required to do so by EU or Member State of the EU law to which we are subject.

  • Ensuring no Personal Data relating to criminal convictions and offenses (GDPR Article 10) are submitted for Processing through the Services.
Security
Considering the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity of impact on the rights and freedoms of Data Subject, we shall in relation to Customer Data implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to that risk (including those outlined in Annex 2, "Security Measures"). In assessing the appropriate level of security, we shall consider the risks that are presented by Processing Customer Data including the risks presented by a Customer Data breach (as defined in the Customer Data Breach Management Section).

  • The Customer acknowledges and agrees that we may engage third-party sub-processors in connection with the provision of Services, and hereby share consent with us. As a condition to permitting a third-party sub-processor to Process Customer Data, we will enter into a written agreement with the sub-processor containing data protection obligations no less protective than those in this DPA with respect to Customer Data. We will restrict our sub-processors access to only what is necessary to maintain the Services or to provide the Services to Customers. Subject to this Section (Sub-Processors), we reserve the right to engage and substitute sub-processors as it deems appropriate, but shall:
    1. Remain responsible to the Customer for the provision of the Services.
    2. Be liable for the actions and omissions of our sub-processors undertaken in connection with our performance of this DPA to the same extent we would be liable if performing the Services directly.
  • Upon the Customer's request by email to compliance@onebanc.ai , we will provide the Customer with a list of then-current third-party sub-processors and the nature of the services they provide. The Customer may object to any new sub-processor on reasonable legal grounds (the "Objection Notice") relating to the protection of the Customer Data, in which case we shall have the right to satisfy the objection through one of the following:
    1. We will cancel our use of the sub-processor for Customer Data or will offer an alternative to provide the Services without such a sub-processor.
    2. We will take the corrective steps requested by the Customer in our Objection Notice (which removes the Customer's objection) and proceed to use the sub-processor for Customer Data.
    3. We may cease to provide, or the Customer may agree not to use (temporarily or permanently), the aspect of the Services that would involve the use of such sub-processor about Personal Data, subject to a mutual agreement of the Parties to adjust the remuneration for the Services considering their reduced scope.
  • All Objection Notices under the above sub-section must be submitted by email to us at compliance@onebanc.ai . If none of the options outlined in Clause (a), (b), or (c) of the above sub-section are reasonably available and the Customer's objection has not been resolved to the Parties' mutual satisfaction within 30 days of our receipt of the Objection Notice, either Party may terminate the affected Services and we will refund the service fee to the Customer on pro-rata basis.

We will promptly take all actions relating to our security measures (and those of our sub-processors) that it deems necessary and advisable to identify and remediate the cause of the Customer Data Breach. In addition, we will promptly provide the Customer with:

If the Customer decides to notify a supervisory authority, Data Subject, or the public of a Customer Data Breach, the Customer will provide us with advance copies of the proposed notices and, subject to applicable law (including any mandated deadlines under Data Protection Law), allow us an opportunity to provide any clarifications or corrections to those notices.
