Data Processing Agreement
​​
How this Data Processing Agreement applies
​
This Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) forms part of your Agreement with Formly Ltd and contains certain terms relating to data protection, privacy, and security in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation, where applicable. In the event (and to the extent only) that there is a conflict between the different Data Protection Legislation laws and regulations, the parties shall comply with the more onerous requirement or higher standard which shall, in the event of a dispute in that regard, be determined solely by Formly Ltd.
​
This Data Processing Agreement entered into between you (“Customers”) and Formly Ltd (the “Formly”, “Company”, “we”, or “us”) regulates the particularities of data processing in connection with your use of both the platform accessible through the “getformly.com” and “getformly.app” domain names (the “Site”) and the services we may offer through the Site from time to time, consisting in ‘Formly’ forms and other services (indistinctly referred to as the “Services”).
​
Please, note that ‘Data controller’, ‘data processor’, ‘data subject’, ‘personal data’, ‘processing’ will have the meaning set forth in the GDPR or in any other applicable European data protection law. 'GDPR' shall be understood as (i) the Regulation (EU) 2016/679, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data; (ii) the GDPR as it forms part of UK law by virtue of section 3 of the UK European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (together, “UK Data Protection Laws”); (iii) any future laws that may amend them or complement them in the future.
​
For clarification purposes, under this DPA (i) the processing of data regulated hereunder shall take place for as long as there is a service agreement in place between you and we, or until you decide to terminate said agreement; (ii) the nature and purposes of the processing shall be the collection, saving, organization, hosting, and deletion of data, as well as making it available to you upon your request; and (iii) the types of personal data and the categories of data subjects that are likely to be
used in our product are name, surname, email address, telephone number, other ID details belonging to employees, candidates, prospects, and clients.
​
1. Processing of data
We will process any personal data we may have access to because of the provision of the Services in accordance with the documented instructions provided by you from time to time. Should a Union or Member State law to which we are subject requires us to process personal data —including the international transfer of personal data—, we will inform you of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest.
Should we have reasonable grounds to believe that a documented instruction given by you infringes the GDPR or any other applicable EU data protection law or regulation, we will put said instruction on hold and immediately notify you. At your sole risk and without us being responsible or liable to you for any losses, you will be entitled to order us to perform any such instruction despite the concerns raised by us, as long as you reconfirm your instruction in writing.
For purposes of this DPA, it will be understood that a ‘documented instruction’ includes, without limitation, (i) any instruction delivered by you by means of any durable media, such as a letter or email; (ii) any instruction electronically sent by you when using the software provided as part of the Services (i.e. by using the interface part of the software and the features made available through it); or (iii) the provisions of the DPA.
For clarification purposes and given your position of data controller, you warrant and represent that you will timely and sufficiently perform your obligations under the applicable privacy laws, such as inform data subjects (e. g. respondents to the forms, etc.) and obtain their consent (where appropriate). This enumeration is for illustration purposes only, in the sense that you will still be required to satisfy the obligations you are subject under the GDPR, such as making sure, in general, that the processing satisfies the requirements of the GDPR, you have the right and obligation to decide about the purpose and means of said processing, or making sure that there is a legal basis for the processing.
​
2. Confidentiality duty
We will ensure that all employees authorized to process personal data have committed to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
​
3. Sub-processors
Sub-processing. Customer provides a general authorization to Formly to engage onward sub-processors, subject to compliance with the requirements in this Section 3.
Sub-processor List. Formly will, subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement or otherwise imposed by Formly:
(a) make available to Customer a list of the Formly subcontractors who are involved in processing or sub-processing Customer Personal Data in connection with the provision of the Services (“Sub-processors”), together with a description of the nature of services provided by each Sub-processor (“Sub-processor List”). A copy of this Sub-processor List may be requested at support@getformly.com
(b) ensure that all Sub-processors on the Sub-processor List are bound by contractual terms that are in all material respects no less onerous than those contained in this DPA; and
(c) be liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors to the same extent Formly would be liable if performing the services of each of those Sub-processors directly under the terms of this DPA, except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement.
New / Replacement Sub-processors. Formly will provide Customer with written notice of the addition of any new Sub-processor or replacement of an existing Sub processor at any time during the term of the Agreement (“New Sub-processor Notice”). The Customer will sign up to a mailing list made available by Formly
through which such notices will be delivered by email. If Customer has a reasonable basis to object to Formly’s use of a new or replacement Sub-processor, Customer will notify Formly promptly in writing and in any event within 30 days after receipt of a New Sub-processor Notice. In the event of such reasonable objection, either Customer or Formly may terminate the portion of any Agreement relating to the Services that cannot be reasonably provided without the objected-to new Sub processor (which may, at Formly's discretion and election, involve termination of the entire Agreement) with immediate effect by providing written notice to the other party. Such termination will be without a right of refund for any fees prepaid by Customer for the period following termination.
​
4. Data subjects’ rights
Taking into account the nature of the processing, we will assist you by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of your obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject's rights, if applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, we will send to you any request data subjects may address directly to us together with all relevant information, if any, so that you can formally contact and answer to data subjects.
​
5. Security measures
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. Taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to us, we will reasonably assist you in compliance with the security obligations set forth by Article 32 of the GDPR.
​
6. Assistance and data breaches
In addition to the duty set forth in Section 5 above, we will also provide, subject to the nature of processing and information available to us, assistance in complying with obligations set forth in Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR, if applicable.
With respect to data breaches, we will notify you without undue delay upon we
becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting personal data and, in any event, within the deadlines set forth under the GDPR. We will provide you with sufficient information to allow it to meet any obligations to report or inform competent authorities or data subjects. We will reasonably cooperate with you and take such reasonable commercial steps as are directed by you to assist in the investigation, mitigation and remediation of each such data breach. For the avoidance of doubt, you will be the only Party responsible for both filing any reports required under applicable law and notifying data subjects, and you will defend, indemnify and hold us harmless of any and all costs (including attorney’s fines), fines or sanctions, or any damages that lack of action on your side may cause.
​
7. Termination
You will decide whether you want us to delete or return personal data, unless Union or Member State law requires storage of the personal data. To this end, you acknowledge that deletion of the account provided as part of the Services will always result in deletion of personal data, and its request to delete the account will be understood as a request to delete data under this Section 7.
Cancelling your paid subscription shall not result in a termination of the Services and, therefore, a termination of this DPA. You will still be able to keep using our Services under a free plan, but some of the functionalities offered to you may not be fully available. This includes the ability to access and download pre-collected responses - for clarification purposes, you will still be able to ask us to download and send you a copy of these responses and we will perform this action as soon as possible and, in any event, within fifteen (15) days.
​
8. Audit rights
Where Formly is processing Customer Personal Data for Customer as a processor (only), the Customer will provide Formly with at least one month's prior written notice of any audit, which may be conducted by Customer or an independent auditor appointed by Customer (provided that no person conducting the audit shall be, or
shall act on behalf of, a competitor of Formly) (“Auditor”). The scope of an audit will be as follows:
(a) Customer will only be entitled to conduct an audit once per subscription year unless otherwise legally compelled or required by a regulator with established authority over the Customer to perform or facilitate the performance of more than 1 audit in that same year (in which circumstances Customer and Formly will, in advance of any such audits, agree upon a reasonable reimbursement rate for Formly’s audit expenses).
(b) Formly agrees, subject to any appropriate and reasonable confidentiality restrictions, to provide evidence of any certifications and compliance standards it maintains.
(c) The scope of an audit will be limited to Formly systems, processes, and documentation relevant to the processing and protection of Customer Personal Data, and Auditors will conduct audits subject to any appropriate and reasonable confidentiality restrictions requested by Formly.
(d) Customer will promptly notify and provide Formly on a confidential basis with full details regarding any perceived non-compliance or security concerns discovered during the course of an audit.
The parties agree that, except as otherwise required by order or other binding decree of a supervisory authority or regulator with authority over the Customer, this Section 8 sets out the entire scope of the Customer’s audit rights as against Formly.
​
9. International transfer of personal data
In the event that the you are neither subject to the GDPR, nor located in the EEA, nor the transfer can be legally performed in accordance with the GDPR (because such transfer falls under an adequacy decision passed by the European Commission or can be otherwise performed under the GDPR on the basis of BCR, a certification mechanism or under a legally binding instrument), you and us enter into the standard contractual clauses (SCCs), as a mechanism to ensure the adequate protection of personal data being transferred outside the EEA.
You authorize to the transfer of data to the sub-processors listed in Section 3 above, it being understood that any such transfer will be performed to the extent that we enter into a written contract with the sub-processors setting forth the obligations to be implemented by the sub-processors in respect of the transfer of data and you have the right to oppose any future changes or amendments of the sub-processors by following the same steps mentioned in Section 3 above. Should you exercise any such right, we will be entitled to early terminate the contractual relationship set forth for the provision of the Services.
​
10. General Provisions
Liability for data processing. Each party's aggregate liability for any and all claims whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise arising out of or in connection with this DPA shall be as set out in the Agreement, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.
​
Conflict. In the case of conflict or ambiguity between: (i) the terms of this DPA and the terms of the Agreement, with respect to the subject matter of this DPA, the terms of this DPA shall prevail; (ii) the terms of any provision contained in this DPA and any provision contained in the Standard Contractual Clauses, the provision in the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail.
Independent Processing. Customer remains exclusively liable for its own compliance with Data Protection Legislation with respect to any independent collection and processing of personal data unrelated to the Services. Customer will provide its own clear and conspicuous privacy notices that accurately describe how it does this and Formly will not be liable for any treatment of personal data by Customer in those circumstances. Customer hereby indemnifies Formly in full for any and all claims or liability arising as a result of such collection and use of personal data by it in those circumstances.
​
Entire Agreement. The Agreement (which incorporates this DPA) and any Order Form represent the entire agreement between the parties and it supersedes any other prior or contemporaneous agreements or terms and conditions, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. Each of the parties confirms that it has not relied upon any representations not recorded in the Agreement inducing it to enter into the Agreement.
Severance. If any provision of this DPA is determined to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed and the remainder of terms will remain in full effect. Nothing in this DPA is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership or joint venture between any of the parties, nor authorize any part to may or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of any other party except as expressly provided herein.
​
Governing Law. This DPA shall be governed by the laws of United Kingdom (UK) and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the UK courts in relation to all contractual and non-contractual disputes.
​
Formly may amend this Agreement at any time and is expressly committed to ensuring that any amendment complies with applicable ethical principles and legislation (including the Regulation). Amendments will be effective thirty (30) days following their publication through a written notification. Following this period, the Customer will be considered to have tacitly accepted the changes. The most recent version of this Agreement will always be available on Formly website for easy access and review.
