If the personal data is only processed via Campaign Accounts, removal of access rights to such Campaign Accounts is compliant with previous sentence.
  3. Nature of processing. The nature of personal data processing under this DPA is determined by the nature of Services provided by SuperScale with the following characteristics: (i) the business model of SuperScale is not based on data monetization techniques like brokerage of data or databases or selling of data to third parties (there will be no sale of personal data under California Consumer Privacy Act); (ii) SuperScale respects ownership-like rights regarding the personal data by the Client and/or data subjects, where such personal data falls under the Client Data; (iii) processing of personal data shall only be made as far as necessary to provide the Services; (iv) SuperScale does not have a direct MSAual relationship with data subjects; (v) the processing should generally appear as done by the Client as the principal / data controller; (vi) SuperScale does not have access to all data held by the Client or third party, which can be used for the potential identification of users pursuant to the recital 26 of the GDPR.
  4. Purposes of personal data processing. The Client appoints SuperScale to process the personal data for the following purposes of processing undertaken by the Client: (i) product improvement purposes, e.g. improvement, development, maintenance and testing of the app/software (the Game) and its new features or updates; (ii) direct marketing communication, conducting marketing campaigns and related marketing analytics; and (iii) raising awareness about the organization, its products and services online including via social media, as necessary to provide the Services.
  5. Types of personal data. Parties do not foresee processing of special categories of personal data pursuant to the Article 9 of the GDPR or personal data about criminal convictions pursuant to the Article 10 of the GDPR. SuperScale is entrusted to process any standard type of personal data it deems necessary to provide the Services. Depending of the type of Services provided by SuperScale, types of personal data processed by SuperScale may include data such as online gaming or advertising identifiers, Game usage data (such as IAP, Game installs), operating system, device, location, session details (duration, frequency), ads or campaign served, user profile/segment and similar types of personal data which do not allow SuperScale to directly identify the data subject but in the context most likely qualifying as personal data under the GDPR. The above description relates to data processed via Campaign Accounts. It might be possible that SuperScale will not have access to any raw data.
  6. Categories of data subjects. The personal data processed by SuperScale will primarily relate to users, potential users of the Game, visitors or potential visitors of the Client’s websites, games and social media profiles. As far as the communication regarding the MSA performance is concerned, SuperScale will also process personal data of the Client’s staff, directors, employees or Representatives (email addresses and business communication) in line with its own privacy policy available at https://old.superscale.com/privacy-policy/.
  7. Sub-processors. As a data processor, SuperScale is not entitled to appoint another sub-processor or a third party to process the personal data without the Client’s prior consent or general authorization. The Client gives a consent to the use of SuperScale Group Companies, SuperScale Personnel and approved sub-contractors under the MSAs (list of which is provided and updated at https://old.superscale.com/privacy-policy/) provided SuperScale ensures that the data processing agreement is adequate with this DPA is concluded with such sub-processors. Under these conditions, Clients gives SuperScale general authorization to appoint new sub-processors after which the list shall be updated.
  8. Campaign Accounts. In case SuperScale is granted access to the Client’s Campaign Accounts (which may or may not include processing of Personal Data) it remains responsibility of the Client to comply with Article 26 or 28 of the GDPR and to conclude a data processing agreement with such 3rd party provider of Campaign Account (e.g. Facebook), if required. In such case, SuperScale is entitled to share data with such 3rd party Campaign Account providers without a data processing agreement with such 3rd parties based on the Client’s instruction or general authorization pursuant to this DPA. However, where the Client instructs SuperScale as per the MSA to use SuperScale’s own Campaign Account, the Client hereby warrants, agrees and acknowledges that such an instruction is an instruction of the Client as a data controller pursuant to Art. 29 of the GDPR addressed to SuperScale as a processor and even if SuperScale concluded data processing agreement with such 3rd party Campaign Account provider as a controller, it acts as a processor of the Client and 3rd party Campaign Account provider therefore acts as the Client’s sub-processor. Therefore, this DPA applies equally to situations where Client’s or SuperScale’s Campaign Accounts are used, meaning that the Client remains liable for having a sufficient legal basis for processing of personal data as well as for any other controller’s obligations pursuant to the Applicable Privacy and Data Protection Laws. In case of conflict between 3rd party Campaign Accounts providers’ terms or agreements (even if concluded by SuperScale) and conditions and this DPA, parties will apply terms of this DPA.
  9. Cross-Border Transfers. As a data processor, SuperScale is not entitled to transfer the Personal Data outside the European Economic Area without the Client’s prior consent. If the Client’s consent is obtained, it remains the responsibility of SuperScale to ensure that Articles 44-50 of the GDPR in respect to any such potential cross-border transfers are complied with. Subject to these conditions, the Client hereby gives SuperScale a general written authorization / documented instruction to transfer the personal data from the European Economic Area to the United States of America or the United Kingdom or other 3rd countries where the approved sub-processors are located. List of the approved sub-processor is available and updated at https://old.superscale.com/privacy-policy/. Where the Client is established outside the European Economic Area, parties agree to conclude specific EU standard contractual clauses separately.
  10. Documented Instructions. SuperScale shall process the personal data only in accordance with documented instructions by the Client. Certain general authorizations and documented instructions are already contained in this DPA which are hereby given by the Client to SuperScale. Any other general authorizations or documented instructions of the Client can be given to SuperScale in writing, orally, by email, by post, by telephone or by similar means, provided such means can be documented. It remains the responsibility of the Client to record or document such instructions. SuperScale is obliged to inform the Client if it believes that the Client’s instruction would infringe the GDPR or other law.
  11. Local Law. The Client shall inform SuperScale about any local deviances or country specific provisions of the Applicable Privacy and Data Protection Laws where such provisions do not explicitly stem, are contrary or are different to those in the GDPR and/or ePrivacy directive. Unless SuperScale receives such information from the Client sufficiently upfront, it shall not be obliged to comply with such a requirement.
  12. Data Subject Rights. According to Article 28(3)(e) of the GDPR, SuperScale acting as a data processor shall insofar as this is possible and taking into account the nature of the processing, assist the Client as a data controller, with the fulfilment of the controller’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject’s rights under the GDPR. SuperScale will comply with this obligation by providing supporting information available to it upon request of the Client. Such supporting information may include an updated list of sub-processors, recipients and respective third countries. However, SuperScale shall not be obliged or requested to handle or respond to the data subject request regarding the Client’s purposes of processing, such requests should be handled and responded to exclusively by the Client. Should SuperScale receive a data subject request that is related to this DPA, SuperScale will forward such request to the Client without undue delay.
  13. Legal Grounds. The legal grounds for processing of the personal data pursuant to this DPA are determined by the Client and are subject to change mainly due to a possibility of a different regulatory approach by different EU supervisory authorities. The Client relies on the legal ground of legitimate interest under the Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, performance of MSA under the Article 6 Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and/or data subject’s consent under the Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR where required. It remains the sole responsibility of the Client to comply with Article 6 GDPR and to obtain consent of the data subjects, where required. SuperScale relies on the Client to have sufficient legal grounds to undertake processing via SuperScale foreseen by this DPA.
  14. Transparent Information. Every data controller has a general obligation to provide certain information to data subjects pursuant to  Article 13 or Article 14 of the GDPR. The Client is responsible for providing this information in respect to the purposes of processing contemplated herein as well as for complying with any transparency principles and obligations towards data subjects under Applicable Privacy and Data Protection Law.
  15. Confidentiality. SuperScale shall implement such organizational measures that ensure that ensure all SuperScale Personnel is committed to the confidentiality in respect to the personal data processed under this DPA either MSAually, by law or by internal policies.
  16. Security. SuperScale will maintain, implement and enforce safety and security procedures in performing the Services that are compliant with Article 32 GDPR.
  17. Security incidents.  If it becomes aware of a confirmed Security Incident, SuperScale shall inform the Client without undue delay and shall provide reasonable information and cooperation to the Client so that the Client can fulfil any data breach reporting obligations it may have under (and in accordance with the timescales required by) Applicable Privacy and Data Protection Laws.  SuperScale shall further take such any reasonably necessary measures and actions to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Security Incident and shall keep the Client informed of all material developments in connection with the Security Incident.
  18. Audits. SuperScale shall make available to the Client all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in Article 28 of the GDPR and the Client may request, upon 20 days’ prior written notice to SuperScale auditing SuperScale’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA and the GDPR. Audits shall be subject to all applicable confidentiality obligations agreed to by the Client and SuperScale and shall be conducted in a manner that minimizes any disruption of SuperScale’s performance of Services and its normal business operations. Audits shall not uncover or lead to disclosing any Confidential Information. Any costs for undertaking audits or making available to the Client all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with Article 28 of the GDPR shall be borne by the Client including reasonable attorney fees expended by SuperScale.
  19. Data Protection Impact Assessment. Client remains solely responsible for conducting the data protection impact assessment pursuant to Article 35 of the GDPR and prior consultation pursuant to Article 36 of the GDPR with respect to its own purposes of processing. SuperScale agrees to reasonably assist the Client when conducting its own DPIA.
