AMALIA immediately informs the Customer if, in their opinion, an instruction constitutes a violation of these regulations or of other provisions of Union law or of the law of the Member States relating to the protection of Personal Data.

It is understood that AMALIA cannot be held responsible for the decisions taken by the Client as data controller and that the object of these T&Cs is not the provision of legal advice.

The Customer undertakes to alert AMALIA without delay, in the event of changes in the Customer's requests, leading to or likely to lead to a change in the status of AMALIA with regard to the regulations.

    12.3 Obligations of the subcontractor

    12.3.1 Cooperation and assistance
    The Customer acknowledges that the following procedures satisfy AMALIA's obligation of cooperation and assistance to enable it to ensure compliance of the processing with the regulations, in particular with regard to :

    • notifications of violations, which will be sent by AMALIA as soon as possible after becoming aware of said violation (12.3.2 Security and confidentiality);
    • requests to exercise the rights of the Client's customers (access, rectification, opposition, portability). As a subcontractor, AMALIA limits itself to assisting the Client to enable him to fulfill his own obligations. Thus, AMALIA never responds on behalf of the Client to exercise requests addressed to it directly: in the event that AMALIA should receive such a request, AMALIA transmits it to the Client as soon as possible so that the latter can manage the follow-up to be given to it;
    • documents and information necessary for the data controller to fulfill his Accountability obligations.

    12.3.2 Security and confidentiality
    The Client acknowledges that the following procedures meet the security and confidentiality obligation necessary for the processing to comply with the regulations:

    • The Client's Tools and Data are hosted on AMALIA's own servers, hosted in the Google Cloud Platform infrastructure in Saint-Ghislain, Belgium (certified ISO / IEC 27001 ISO / IEC 27017, ISO / IEC 27018, ISO / IEC 27701, SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, PCI-DSS security, ISO 9001: 2008);
    • The security control of servers and updating of AMALIA operating software is carried out in real time;
    • AMALIA uses the TLS-SSL protocol to encrypt data transfers. This encryption process protects the data by systematically scrambling the information before it is transferred to AMALIA.
    • AMALIA only allows access to the Client's Tools and Data to persons specifically authorized by AMALIA and by the Client.
    • No AMALIA employee has access to Customer Data, unless access to this information is necessary for the Subscription or for the achievement of the object of these T & Cs. At the request of the Customer or Users and subject to Subscription to assistance services, AMALIA may connect remotely to their Accounts, after formalization of the User's agreement in a support ticket, to assist them in the configuration or use of the Tools.
    • Each AMALIA employee is bound by a commitment relating to the protection of Personal Data;
    • AMALIA will warn the Customer of any violation of the Personal Data entrusted to it by the Customer, as soon as possible after having taken cognizance of it, taking into account the notification period given to the data controller by articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR.
    • AMALIA will promptly investigate any Personal Data breach in order to remedy such breach.
    • AMALIA will promptly inform the Customer of the corrective measures and the measures put in place to remedy them.
    • AMALIA undertakes to assist the Customer in its process of setting up an impact study on privacy, within the limits of the subcontracting service and the information available to AMALIA, without its responsibility can be sought for this fact.

    12.3.3 Subsequent subcontracting
    The Customer accepts that AMALIA may call on subsequent subcontractors acting in its name and on its behalf, in order to assist it in the processing operations of the Customer's Personal Data.

    Thus, following service providers:

    • Google Cloud Platform (hosting)
    • Sendinblue (emailing)
    • Auth0 (authentification)
    • Totango (monitoring)
    • MixPanel (product usage monitoring)

    AMALIA takes all the necessary precautions when choosing its subcontractors to whom are entrusted the Personal Data of its Customers and informs the Customer of any planned change concerning the addition or replacement of a subsequent subcontractor by any written means at its convenience.

    The Customer may object to such an addition or replacement by notifying AMALIA in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice of addition or replacement sent by AMALIA. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that the absence of objection within the aforementioned period is equivalent to an acceptance on his part of a new subcontractor. In the event that the Client opposes the appointment of a subsequent subcontractor for a legitimate reason, the Parties agree that either Party may terminate the Subscription.

    AMALIA enters into a contract with any subsequent subcontractor containing the same obligations as those set out in these T&Cs, in particular by requiring the subsequent subcontractor to process the Customer's Personal Data only in accordance with AMALIA's written instructions.

    AMALIA remains fully responsible towards the Customer for any processing carried out by the subsequent subcontractor in violation of the obligations of these T&Cs.

    12.3.4 Audits
    If the Customer considers it necessary to carry out an audit to verify the compliance of the Software with the regulations and with these T&Cs, AMALIA agrees to submit to them under the following conditions:

    • AMALIA makes available to the Customer at his request and by email the necessary documentation to demonstrate compliance by AMALIA with its obligations as a subcontractor. If the Client considers that this documentation does not enable him to demonstrate compliance with the regulations, the Client submits a request for an on-site audit, justified and documented, by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt;
    • the audit must be carried out by an independent auditor of well-known reputation, not competing with the commercial activities of AMALIA. This independent auditor is chosen by the Client and accepted by AMALIA.

    He must have the required professional qualifications and is subject to a confidentiality agreement.

    The Parties acknowledge that all reports and information obtained as part of this audit are confidential information.

    The start date of the audit, the duration and the scope of the audit are defined by mutual agreement between the Parties with a minimum notice of 30 working days.

    The frequency of audits is limited to one audit per year and must not disrupt AMALIA's activity.

    The audit can only be carried out during the opening hours of AMALIA. The audit does not include access to information unrelated to processing carried out in accordance with these T&Cs, nor physical access to the servers on which the Software is saved.

    The Client bears all the costs and expenses incurred by the audit and reimburses AMALIA for all the costs incurred for this purpose, in particular, the time spent on the audit on the basis of the average hourly rate of AMALIA staff who collaborated on the audit.

    12.3.5 Location - Data transfers

    The Personal Data of Users are stored in Saint-Ghislain in Belgium on AMALIA's servers, which are hosted by the GOOGLE CLOUD PLATFORM Company.

    If AMALIA were to transfer Personal Data to other service providers established outside the EU, AMALIA will first ensure that they have adhered to the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

    12.3.6 Return, destruction of personal data
    At the Customer's choice and within 30 days of the Customer's request to AMALIA at the end of the Term, AMALIA will immediately return to the Customer all the Data to Personal Data and all copies thereof, or will securely delete or destroy Personal Data.

      XIII. Interoperability

      AMALIA will have two (2) months to send the requested information to the Customer. The information will be communicated for the sole purpose of fulfilling its legal obligations. Under no circumstances should this information be provided by the Customer to a third party, even free of charge.

      This penalty will be due for each employee of AMALIA who is hired by the Client or whose services are requested by the Client in any form whatsoever.
