1.2. For the purposes of providing the Services under the Agreement, Famly will Process Customer Data throughout the Term of this DPA. This DPA applies to any and all activities associated with the Agreement, in whose scope Famly’s employees or agents Process the Customer Data on behalf of the Customer. 


2. Responsibilities and Instructions

2.1. The parties agree that under this DPA the Customer is the Controller of the Customer Data and Famly is the Processor of the Customer Data. The Customer agrees that this DPA, and not Famly’s Privacy Policy, applies to Famly’s processing of Customer Data as a Processor. 

2.2. The Customer is responsible for compliance with the Applicable Data Protection Laws, including but not limited, to the lawfulness of disclosing Customer Data to Famly and the lawfulness of having the Customer Data Processed by Famly on behalf of the Customer. The Customer warrants that it is lawfully authorised to Process and disclose the Customer Data to Famly. The Customer is responsible for maintaining and updating its respective privacy policy, notices and statements, including to mention Famly in it as its Processor. 

2.3. Famly shall process Customer Data only on documented instructions from the Customer, unless required to do so by the Applicable Data Protection Laws or any other applicable law to which Famly is subject. Such instructions shall be specified in this DPA and Appendices A and C. Subsequent instructions can also be given by the Customer throughout the duration of Processing of Customer Data, but such instructions shall always be documented and kept in writing, including electronically, in connection with this DPA.

2.4. Famly shall immediately inform the Customer if instructions given by the Customer, in the opinion of Famly, contravene the Applicable Data Protection Laws. Famly is entitled to suspend performance on such instruction until the Customer confirms or modifies such instruction. 

2.5. Famly may access Customer Data on a limited and need-to-know basis for the purposes of providing support, troubleshooting and maintaining the Platform, provided that such access is solely for the purpose of delivering the Services in accordance with the Agreement and DPA. 


3. Details of Processing

3.1. The subject matter and nature of Famly’s Processing of Customer Data are the performance of the Services pursuant to the Agreement and the purposes set forth in this DPA. The Customer and/or its Authorised Users upload/insert the Customer Data to the Platform, and the types of Customer Data Processed depend on the Customer use of the Services. The purpose of Processing, the types of Customer Data and categories of Data Subjects that may be Processed under this DPA is further specified in Appendix A. 

3.2. The Processing of Customer Data shall continue for the duration of the Agreement and this DPA and for 60 days after termination, unless the Customer requests earlier deletion, performs a deletion themselves, or as otherwise specified in Appendix A. 

3.3. Appendix D (Additional Data Protection Legislation) to this DPA applies only if and to the extent Famly’s Processing of Customer Data under the Agreement is subject to (i) the Swiss new Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP), (ii) the CCPA with respect to which Customer is a “business” as defined in the CCPA, or (iii) the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act. 


4. Security of Processing 

4.1. Famly is responsible for implementing technical and organisational measures to ensure the adequate protection of the Customer Data, which measures must fulfil the requirements of the Applicable Data Protection Laws and ensure ongoing security, confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and Services. Such measures are described in Appendix C of this DPA. 

4.2. Famly shall regularly review, assess and update, as necessary, these measures to address evolving security risks, industry standards, technological advancements, and regulatory changes. Famly reserves the right to modify the measures and safeguards implemented, provided that the level of security is not less protective than initially agreed upon. In the event of considerable changes to the measures, Famly shall notify the Customer of the changes. 

4.3. Famly warrants that the company fulfils its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws to implement a process for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.

4.4. The Customer is familiar with the technical and organisational measures set out in Appendix C, and it shall be the Customer’s responsibility that such measures ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.


5. Confidentiality 

5.1. Famly will keep the Customer Data confidential. This obligation persists without time limitation and will survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement and this DPA. 

5.2. Famly shall only grant access to the Customer Data being processed on behalf of the Customer to persons under Famly’s authority who have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality and only on a need to know basis. The list of persons to whom access has been granted shall be kept under periodic review. On the basis of this review, such access to personal data can be withdrawn, if access is no longer necessary, and Customer Data consequently not be accessible anymore to those persons. 

5.3. Famly shall at the request of the Customer demonstrate that the concerned persons under Famly’s authority are subject to the abovementioned confidentiality. 


6. Sub-Processing

6.1. Customer generally authorises Famly to appoint and engage Sub-Processors in accordance with this Clause 6. The Customer acknowledges that Famly uses subcontractors that act as Sub-Processors on behalf of the Customer (“Sub-Processor”).

6.2. The Customer agrees that the Sub-Processors listed in Appendix B are authorised for the purpose of the Processing of the Customer Data under this DPA, giving affirmative consent thereto.

6.3. Famly will, prior to the use of new Sub-Processor or a replacement of Sub-Processor, inform the Customer Point of Contact thereof with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. The Customer is entitled to object in writing within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the notice from Famly, provided that such objection is based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. Famly will evaluate the concerns and discuss possible solutions with the Customer. If these solutions are not reasonably possible in Famly’s discretion and the Customer continues to not approve the change (such approval may not be unreasonably withheld), the Customer may terminate the Agreement by giving fourteen (14) days’ written notice after having received Famly’s aforementioned decision. If the Customer does not terminate the Agreement within this timeframe, the Customer is deemed to have accepted the respective Sub-Processor. The Customer will receive a refund of any prepaid fees for the period following the effective date of termination in respect of such terminated services. No other claims of the Customer against Famly or of Famly against the Customer may be based on such termination.

6.4. The Customer accepts that an exchange of a Sub-Processor may be required in cases where the reason for the change is outside of Famly’s reasonable control (so-called emergency replacement). Famly will notify the Customer of such change. If the Customer reasonably objects to the use of this Sub-Processor, the Customer may exercise its right to terminate the Agreement as described in the Clause above.

6.5. Where Famly engages Sub-Processors, Famly is responsible for ensuring that Famly’s obligations on data protection resulting from the Agreement and this DPA are, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Sub-Processor, valid and binding upon subcontracting. Famly will enter into written agreement and will restrict the Sub-Processor (and any new Sub-Processors) access to Customer Data only to what is necessary to provide or maintain the Services in accordance with the Agreement and this DPA. 

6.6. If the Sub-Processor does not fulfil its data protection obligations, Famly will remain fully liable to the Customer as regards the fulfilment of the obligations of the Sub-Processors.  Famly’s liability will be to the same extent as if Famly were directly performing those services, but within limitations of liability set out in this DPA and Agreement. 


7. Location of Customer Data and Third Country Transfer

7.1. The location(s) of the Customer Data is set out in Appendix B to this DPA.

7.2. Subject to Authorised Sub-Processors in Appendix B, Famly will not transfer the Customer Data outside the EEA, the UK and/or Switzerland without following the notification and objection process set out in Clause 6.3.

7.3. Customer Data may be transferred from the EEA, the UK and/or Switzerland to countries that have been recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection, either through an adequacy decision by the European Commission or by the relevant data protection authorities of the UK and Switzerland (“Adequacy Decisons”), as applicable, without any further safeguards being necessary.

7.4. If the processing of the Customer Data includes a transfer from the EEA, the UK and/or Switzerland to other countries which have not been subject to relevant Adequacy Decision (“Third Country Transfer”), the transfer shall be secured following the undertaking by Famly of a transfer risk assessment/transfer impact assessment (under EU, UK, and/or Swiss law as applicable to the Customer), through the implementation, and negotiation if applicable, of an agreement incorporating the appropriate Transfer Mechanism. If the Transfer Mechanism is insufficient to safeguard the transferred Customer Data, supplementary measures will be implemented to ensure the Customer Data is protected to the same standard as required under Applicable Data Protection Laws, including those set out in Appendix D. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Famly has incorporated the appropriate Transfer Mechanism into all agreements with Sub-Processors in third countries, where Adequacy Decision is not in place, ensuring that such Third Country Transfer comply with the Applicable Data Protection Legislation. 


8. Deletion, correction or return of Customer Data 

8.1. Customer may delete Customer Data using the functionality provided by the Services. Where the Customer is unable to perform the deletion and/or correction of the Customer Data, Famly must perform the action if so instructed by the Customer and permitted under Applicable Data Protection Laws. Where a deletion request relating to Customer Data, consistent with Applicable Data Protection Laws or a corresponding restriction of Processing is impossible, Famly will, based on the Customer’s instructions, and unless agreed upon differently in the Agreement, destroy or otherwise put out of use if so instructed, in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws, all Customer Data or return the same to the Customer. 

8.2. Within 60 days following the termination of the Agreement, Famly shall, upon the Customer’s instructions, return all Customer Data to the Customer or delete the same, unless required otherwise by the Applicable Data Protection Laws. The Customer Data shall be irreversibly deleted and cannot be retrieved and provided to the Customer after such 60 days. In specific cases designated by the Customer, Customer Data will be stored. The associated remuneration and protective measures will be agreed upon separately, unless already agreed upon in the Agreement.

Where a Data Subject asserts claims for rectification, erasure, objection or access (“Data Subject Request”) against Famly, and where Famly is able to correlate the Data Subject to the Customer, based on the information provided by the Data Subject, Famly will without undue delay refer such Data Subject to contact the Customer directly. 

9.2. Famly will, based upon the Customer’s instructions, support the Customer to the extent reasonably possible in fulfilling a Data Subject Request, where the Customer cannot do so without Famly’s assistance.

10. Data Breaches 

10.1.

To the extent that the required information is available to Famly, and the Customer does not otherwise have access to the required information, Famly will, upon written request, provide reasonable assistance to the Customer with any data protection impact assessment, and prior consultations with applicable Supervisory Authorities or the extent required under Applicable Data Protection Laws.

The documentation is Famly’s confidential information and must be treated as such.

12.3. The Customer agrees to exercise its audit and inspection rights by instructing Famly to share the audit report described in clause 12.2 of this DPA. If the Customer reasonably concludes that  an onsite audit or inspection is necessary to monitor the compliance with the technical and organisational measures in an individual case or compliance with this DPA, the Customer has the right to carry out respective onsite audits or inspections in individual cases or to have them carried out by an auditor (that is no competitor of Famly) provided that such audits or inspections will be conducted (i) during regular business hours, and (ii) without disproportionately interfering with Famly’ business operations, (iii) upon prior reasonable notice and further consultation with Famly, (iv) all subject to (if not covered already by the Agreement) the execution of a confidentiality undertaking, in particular to protect the confidentiality of the technical and organisational measures and safeguards implemented.

Justification of unannounced audit or inspection must be provided at the time of arrival.  

12.4. In case of an onsite audit or inspection the Customer will bear its own expenses and compensate Famly the cost for its internal resources required to conduct the onsite audit or inspection (based on time and material according to the then current price list).

Appendix C - Technical and Organisational Security Measures

Famly has in place certain technical and organisational security measures to ensure compliance with the Applicable Data Protection Laws. Those measures are set in place to prevent improper destruction, alteration, disclosure, access, and other improper form of processing of Customer Data.

Famly reserves the right to modify the measures and safeguards implemented, provided that the level of security is not less protective than initially agreed upon. In the event of considerable changes to the measures, Famly shall notify the Customer of such changes.

1. Confidentiality (Article 32 Paragraph 1 Point b GDPR) 

Physical Access Control

Unauthorized access (in the physical sense) must be prevented.

Technical and organizational measures to control access to premises and facilities, particularly to  check authorization:

  • Famly’s offices are protected with fire detection as well as electronic security and intrusion alarms. No customer data is stored at Famly’s offices or on local employee computers. All data is accessed by Famly employees via secure encrypted connections with the Data Centres.
  • The Data Centres used by Famly are state of the art. The Data Centre providers have many years of experience in designing, constructing, and operating largescale data centres. This experience has been applied to the platform and infrastructure. Data Centres are housed in nondescript facilities. Physical access is strictly controlled both at the perimeter and at building ingress points by professional security staff utilizing video surveillance, intrusion detection systems, and other electronic means. Authorized staff must pass two-factor authentication a minimum of two times to access data center floors. All visitors and contractors are required to present identification and are signed in and continually escorted by authorized staff. All physical access to Data Centers is logged and audited routinely.
  • Physical Media: Physical media (e.g. transcripts) that contains personal data from the Famly Platform shall be stored in locked cabinets when they are not in use and up to the time of destruction, cf. the section on Physical Media below. Only employees with a specific requirement may access such physical media.

Electronic Access Control

Unauthorized access to IT systems must be prevented.

Technical and organisational measures for user identification and authentication:

  • Firewalls: Updated firewalls are applied to protect the network at Famly's office against unauthorized access. The same standards are applied at the Data Centres, where firewalls and other technical methods are used to protect the Data Centres network against unauthorized access.
  • Anti-virus/anti-malware: IT devices used by Famly to access Personal Data on the Famly Platform, including servers that are used in the operation are, to the extent possible and relevant, protected with updated anti-virus- and anti-malware software.
  • Encryption: In relation to the transfer of data within the Famly Platform through public communication connections, including when the Famly Platform is accessed by users, secure encryption is applied, based on generally recognized algorithms that as a minimum will be equivalent to SSL 256bit. All WIFI connections used at the Famly office and in the Data Centres are secured through use of encryption in the form of WPA or better.
  • Famly’s Remote Access: When Famly's employees access the Famly Platform through remote access, such connections are secured through encryption e.g. in the form of VPN. Any access to the Famly Platform requires that the Famly employees register a username, password and two-factor. Famly complies with the conditions in this Data Processing Agreement, irrespective of the use of remote access.
  • Famly’s Password Policy: Famly Employees with access to the Famly Platform are covered by a strict password policy. Passwords must be minimum 10 characters and contain: Upper case as well as lower case letters, numerals, and special characters. Passwords are required to be changed periodically. Passwords must not contain any names or usernames.
  • Penetration Testing: Famly has penetration tests performed on the Famly Platform by an external agency according to industry standards on a regular basis.

Internal Access Control

Activities in IT systems not covered by the allocated access rights must be prevented.

Requirements-driven definition of the authorization scheme and access rights, and monitoring and logging of accesses:

a) Authorization

  • All Famly employees with access to Personal Data are authorized by Famly. Such authorizations specify which access and for what purpose each employee can access the Personal Data. The Famly employees are solely authorized to access the Customer's Personal Data for operational or technical purposes. The Famly employees do not have access to Personal Data that is not included in their authorization. All access to Personal Data by Famly employees is logged.
  • Famly checks and updates all employee authorizations on a regular basis, as a minimum semi-annually. The authorizations are adapted or revoked in relation to employees changing job positions, responsibilities or termination of employment. 
  • The Famly Platform is configured so that the Customer can authorize its employees based on access roles. The Customer assigns its employee authorizations through the web or app module provided by Famly.
  • All Famly employees with access to Personal Data are informed of this Data Processing Agreement and are obliged to comply with the employee targeted requirements of this Data Processing Agreement.
  • Data security and privacy awareness training is conducted for all new Famly employees and a refresher training is conducted for all Famly employees at least annually.
  • All Famly employees with access to Personal Data have their criminal record checked by Famly in connection with their employment and checked again at least annually during their employment.
  • All product development and bug fixing activities are to the extent possible done on dummy test data and not on actual Customer Data. 

b) Login, Username and Passwords

  • All employees at Famly and at the Data Centres have unique usernames and passwords. Usernames and passwords are created and altered from generally recognized principles and no username is reused within a period of at least six months since the username was last in use. Provided that a Famly employee has not used their username within a period of three months, the username will automatically be suspended. 
  • After multiple successive failed login-attempts with the same username, the login with the respective username will be blocked. This applies to both employees of Famly and the Customer. The blocking of access in the previously mentioned scenarios can not cause any liability towards Famly. In case a block of a Famly employee account occurs, Famly will conduct a follow-up on the matter as soon as possible.
  • It is not possible to log into the Famly Platform by using an anonymous user account or guest account.

c) Confidentiality

  • All Famly employees with access to Personal Data are subject to strict confidentiality throughout their employment contracts and all employees within the Data Centre are subject to confidentiality.
  • The confidentiality is maintained beyond the termination of the Agreement or if the Agreement with Data Sub-processors ceases. Famly employees are also subject to the confidentiality obligation upon cessation of their employment.

Isolation Control

Data collected for different purposes must also be processed separately.

Measures to provide for separate processing (storage, amendment, deletion, transmission) of data for different purposes:

  • Storing of Data: Within the Famly Platform, all Data is stored in the Data Centres. The Customer's Data is stored logically separated from other Customers' Data for whom Famly is carrying out data processing for. All Data is tagged with unique ids which can identify which end-user or Customer the data belongs to.

2. Integrity (Article 32 Paragraph 1 Point b GDPR)

Data Transfer Control 

Aspects of the disclosure of Personal Data must be controlled: electronic transfer, data transmission, etc.

Measures to transport, transmit and communicate or store data on data media (manual or electronic) and for subsequent checking:

  • IT Storage Media: In case of recycling, discarding, repairs or service on storage media used for Personal Data, it is ensured that third parties cannot gain access to data on such media. Such security procedures are conducted either through encryption or by thorough deletion or overwriting to ensure that all previously stored Personal Data cannot be recovered by using a generally recognized specification (e.g. DOD 5220-22-M).
  • Physical Media: All physical media that may contain Personal Data from the Customer's IT solution (e.g. prints), will be discarded in a safe manner when the physical media has fulfilled its purpose. This can be executed through shredding or through other means that ensures that access to Personal Data is not possible.
  • Virtual Private Network: When Famly's employees access the Famly Platform, such connections are secured through encryption e.g. in the form of VPN. Any access to the Famly Platform requires that the Famly employees register a username, password and two-factor.
  • Electronic Signature: Famly uses 256-bit SSL certificates to the authenticity of Famly towards the end-users.
  • Transport Security: Famly utilizes end-to-end SSL encryption from end-user devices all the way to the database in the Data Centres as well as between internal services on the servers in the Data Centres.

Data Entry Control

Full documentation of data management and maintenance must be maintained.

Measures for subsequent checking whether data have been entered, changed or removed (deleted), and by whom:

  • Any access to Personal Data related to the use of the Famly Platform is automatically logged in the Application Log. By logging the time, username, type of application and the person that the data is concerning, or the used search criteria is registered. The log is kept for a minimum of six months and is deleted after a maximum of seven months. 
  • The Customer can gain access to specific information from the Application Log by special request to Famly.
  • Provided that access to the Famly Platform is made in connection with technical issues e.g. support, error correction or other technical causes, such access will be logged in the Application Log.

3. Availability and Resilience (Article 32 Paragraph 1 Point b and c GDPR)

Availability Control 

The data must be protected against accidental destruction or loss. 

Measures to assure data security:

  • Fire, Power Outages: Famly's office and Data Centres are secured in the usual manner to protect against fire. The Data Centres are furthermore secured so that the operations can continue even during power outages of a certain duration, protection against loss of communicative connections to the Data Centres has also been established.
  • Backups: Famly secures Data stored in the Famly Platform through continuous backups of Data several times daily. The backup is conducted as a mix of full backup and incremental (whereby the changes are stored) backup. Famly regularly conducts restore-tests of previously completed backups to make sure that the backup routines function as intended. Backups are for extra safety reasons also duplicated and stored in another Data Centre from a different provider. 
  • Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS): The Data Centre electrical power systems are designed to be fully redundant and maintainable without impact to operations, 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units provide back-up power in the event of an electrical failure for critical and essential loads in the facility. Data Centres use generators to provide back-up power for the entire facility. 
  • Climate and Temperature: Climate control is required to maintain a constant operating temperature for servers and other hardware, which prevents overheating and reduces the possibility of service outages. Data centres are conditioned to maintain atmospheric conditions at optimal levels. Personnel and systems monitor and control temperature and humidity at appropriate levels. Electrical, mechanical, and life support systems and equipment are monitored so that any issues are immediately identified. Preventative maintenance is performed to maintain the continued operability of equipment. 

Rapid Recovery

  • In case of a major incident Famly has the ability to quickly recover access to Personal Data by restoring recent backed up files to production environments on new booted servers. This can be done in a matter of hours and ensures that any potential downtime is minimised.

4. Procedures for regular testing, assessment, and evaluation (Article 32 Paragraph 1 Point d GDPR; Article 25 Paragraph 1 GDPR)

Incident Response Management

Security Breach Procedure

  • Provided that Famly detects a security breach or threat hereof in relation to the Famly Platform, Famly will seek to locate and identify such breach or threat as well as the scope of the issue as soon as possible, seek to limit the potential or occurred damage to the extent possible, seek to hinder such a security breach in the future and to the extent possible, restore any lost Data. 
  • In the case of a security breach where unauthorized people gain access to the Customer's Data or where loss of Data has occurred, Famly will, when possible, notify the Customer in a written notice about the security breach. Such notifications will contain information about which Data Famly deems to have been accessed unauthorized, whether Famly has initiated special precautions, and the notification will inform whether the Customer, according to Famly's evaluation, must take special precautions. 

Order or Contract Control 

  • Famly has entered into market standard data processing agreements with Data Sub-processors in order to comply with the terms under this Data Processing Agreement.
