This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") forms part of the Terms and Conditions between Traista, Inc. ("Traista") and each organization that uses Traista (the "Organization"). It applies automatically when the Organization accepts the Terms. If the Organization has a separate signed agreement with Traista that covers data protection, that agreement prevails where the two conflict.
Other capitalised terms have the meaning given in the Terms.
For Organization Personal Data, the Organization is the business (or controller) and Traista is its service provider (or processor).
Claims that a person files with the Organization themselves through Traista are handled by Traista as described in its Privacy Policy, and shared with the Organization so it can handle the claim. The Organization may use them only to handle that claim, to return or dispose of the item, and to keep its own records.
Traista will:
Traista certifies that it understands and will comply with these restrictions.
Traista may create de-identified and aggregated data from the Services, as described in the Terms, and will not try to re-identify it.
The Organization will:
Traista keeps technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including:
Traista may update these measures as long as the overall level of protection does not decrease.
The Organization authorises Traista to use Sub-processors in the service categories described in section 12. The current list of Sub-processor names is available to the Organization on request at support@traista.com. Traista will:
Traista may add or replace Sub-processors to provide the Services, subject to Data Protection Laws and any separate signed agreement with the Organization. This DPA does not establish a fixed advance-notice period or routine change-notification emails. Where applicable law or a separate signed agreement requires notice, authorisation or an opportunity to object, Traista must meet those requirements.
If Traista receives a request from a person about Organization Personal Data (for example, to access or delete it), Traista will pass it to the Organization without undue delay and will not answer it itself, except to tell the person that it has been passed on, or as the law requires. Traista will help the Organization respond, through the features of the Services (such as exports) and, where those aren't enough, through support.
Traista will notify the Organization of a Security Incident affecting Organization Personal Data within the time required by Data Protection Laws or any separate signed agreement with the Organization. This DPA does not establish a blanket 72-hour notification deadline. The notice will describe, as far as Traista knows at the time, what happened, the data and people affected, the likely consequences, and what Traista is doing about it; Traista will send updates as it learns more. Traista will take reasonable steps to contain and remedy the incident and will help the Organization meet its own notification obligations. Unless the law requires Traista to, the Organization decides whether to notify the people affected or any authority. A notice is not an admission of fault.
Traista will provide information and cooperation required by Data Protection Laws or any separate signed agreement to demonstrate compliance with its data protection obligations. This DPA does not include an annual or post-incident security questionnaire service. Information disclosed under this section is subject to applicable confidentiality obligations, without limiting disclosures required by law.
Traista stores Organization Personal Data with cloud hosting and database service providers in the United States. Sub-processors may process it in the United States and other countries where they operate.
