APPENDIX 1 DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT 

This Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) is a part of the agreement for the provision of the Service whose terms and conditions have been laid out in the Service General Terms and Conditions or such other agreement (“Agreement”) that may have been specifically concluded between Hamina Wireless Oy (“Hamina Wireless”) and the customer (“Customer”). 

Hamina Wireless and Customer are each individually referred to as the Party and together as the Parties. 

  1. GENERAL 
    1. This DPA forms an integral part of the Agreement and shall apply to all processing of personal data under the Agreement. Where applicable and when this DPA does not explicitly state otherwise, the terms of the Agreement, such as governing law and dispute resolution, shall be applied to this DPA. If the Agreement or any other document regulating the relationship between Hamina Wireless and the Customer as set out in the Agreement contains provisions that conflict with this DPA, this DPA shall have precedence.  
    2. The Customer shall be considered the controller under the EU regulation 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (“GDPR”) and Hamina Wireless processes, by providing the Service to the Customer, the personal data on behalf of Customer as a processor for the purposes of the Agreement during the term thereof. If and to the extent the Customer acts as a processor in relation to other controllers, Hamina Wireless shall act as a subprocessor under this DPA. As used herein, personal data means such personal data that Hamina Wireless processes on behalf of the Customer as the Customer’s processor or subprocessor.  
    3. The Customer is responsible for the lawful processing and collection of personal data in compliance with the GDPR and other laws, regulations, and directives pertaining to the processing or collection of personal data. Hamina Wireless will not monitor the Customer’s processing or collection of personal data in the Service. The Customer shall be responsible for having the required rights and necessary permissions from third parties to use and disclose personal data for the purposes set out in the Agreement. The Customer shall ensure that the Customer is entitled to transfer the relevant personal data to Hamina Wireless so that Hamina Wireless may lawfully process, use and transfer the personal data in accordance with the Agreement and this DPA. 
    4. The subject matter, categories, and types of data as well as other details of the processing are specified in Schedule 1 of this DPA (Description of the Processing Operations). 
  2. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA 
    1. Hamina Wireless shall only process personal data in accordance with this DPA and documented instructions from Customer unless required to do otherwise under European Union or Member State law to which Hamina Wireless is subject. In such case, Hamina Wireless shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before processing unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest. 
    2. Hamina Wireless may not use the Customer’s personal data for any other uses than for the provision of the Services and as otherwise instructed by the Customer. Hamina Wireless shall process information disclosed to it by the Customer in accordance with the Agreement and according to written instructions or guidelines given to it by the Customer. The Customer’s instructions must be commercially reasonable, compliant with applicable data protection legislation and regulations, and consistent with the Agreement. In case Hamina Wireless detects that any instruction given by the Customer is non-compliant with European Union or member state law to which Hamina Wireless is subject, Hamina Wireless shall not be obliged to comply with such instruction and shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement. 
    3. In case the Customer’s instructions require additional measures or work to be performed by Hamina Wireless, Hamina Wireless has the right to charge an hourly consulting fee from the Customer for complying with such Customer’s instructions in accordance with Hamina Wireless’s then-current fee for consulting services, subject to the Customer’s prior approval of such additional costs. 
  3. DATA SECURITY 
    1. Hamina Wireless ensures that it shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data within its area of responsibility, in order to safeguard the personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing or access and against accidental loss, destruction of personal data, taking into account the costs of implementation as well as the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing of personal data carried out by Hamina Wireless hereunder as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Such measures shall include, where appropriate and relevant for each processing action: (i) the pseudonymization and encryption of personal data; (ii) the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and Service; (iii) the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; (iv) a process for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing; (v) the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, resilience, and restoration of all processing systems and services in which personal data is stored or processed; (vi) the pseudonymization and encryption of personal data and communications containing personal data when it is appropriate and necessary to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of the personal data. 
    2. Hamina Wireless also ensures that the persons processing personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality. 
  4. ASSISTANCE OBLIGATIONS 
    1. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Hamina Wireless shall assist the Customer with appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfillment of the Customer’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject’s rights under Chapter III of the GDPR. 
    2. Taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Hamina Wireless, Hamina Wireless shall further provide the Customer with assistance in ensuring compliance with the Customer’s obligations set out in Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR (e.g. to perform security and data protection impact assessments, breach notifications and prior consultations of the competent supervisory authority). 
    3. In case such assistance requires measures from Hamina Wireless, Hamina Wireless has the right to charge an hourly consulting fee from the Customer for handling such assistance requests in accordance with Hamina Wireless’s then-current fee for consulting services, subject to the Customer’s prior approval of such additional costs. 
  5. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS 
    1. The Customer accepts that Hamina Wireless may transfer personal data to its subprocessors outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) in the context of the provision of the Service. Before any personal data is transferred by Hamina Wireless from the EEA for processing in any country outside the EEA that is not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data, Hamina Wireless shall comply with Chapter V of the GDPR and use transfer tools which ensure appropriate safeguards for protection of the personal data, including (but not necessarily limited to) entering into the standard contractual clauses for processor-to-processor transfers adopted by the European Commission (by the implementing decision (EU) 2021/914 and as amended) and carrying out a transfer impact assessment. 
  6. AUDITS 
    1. The Customer or an auditor appointed by the Customer shall with the assistance of Hamina Wireless have the right to audit the processing activities of Hamina Wireless under this DPA to assess the compliance of Hamina Wireless with its contractual obligations under this DPA and applicable data protection legislation during ordinary business hours of Hamina Wireless and with 30 days prior written notice. If Hamina Wireless’s employees or other representatives participate in such audits at the request of the Customer, the Customer shall compensate Hamina Wireless for the expenses caused by such participation. Otherwise, each Party shall bear its own costs for any such audit. Where an audit may lead to the disclosure of business or trade secrets of Hamina Wireless or threaten intellectual property rights of Hamina Wireless, the Customer shall employ an independent expert to carry out the audit, and the expert shall agree to be bound by confidentiality to Hamina Wireless’s benefit. 
    2. Where an audit may, in Hamina Wireless’s sole opinion, lead to the disclosure of business or trade secrets of Hamina Wireless or threaten the intellectual property rights of Hamina Wireless, the Customer shall employ an independent auditor, that is not a competitor of Hamina Wireless, to carry out the audit, and the auditor shall agree to be bound to confidentiality to Hamina Wireless’s benefit. 
    3. Hamina Wireless makes available to the Customer, at the Customer’s request, information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR. In case the Customer’s request requires measures or work to be performed by Hamina Wireless, Hamina Wireless has the right to charge an hourly consulting fee in accordance with its then-current pricing for consulting services for handling such requests. 
  7. SUBPROCESSORS 
    1. The Customer gives its general authorization to allow Hamina Wireless to engage subcontractors as subprocessors to process personal data in connection with the provision of the Service. 
    2. Hamina Wireless is free to choose and change its subprocessors. Upon request, Hamina Wireless shall inform the Customer of the subprocessors currently involved. In case there is a later change of a subprocessor (addition or replacement), Hamina Wireless shall notify the Customer of such change, thereby allowing the Customer the opportunity to object to such change. If Hamina Wireless is not willing to change the subprocessor the Customer has objected to, both Parties shall have the right to terminate the Agreement and this DPA. 
    3. Where Hamina Wireless engages a subprocessor for carrying out specific processing activities on behalf of the Customer, the same data protection obligations as set out in this DPA shall be included in the DPA between Hamina Wireless and that subprocessor. Where a subprocessor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations, Hamina Wireless shall remain liable to the Customer for the performance of the subprocessor’s obligations as further stipulated in the Agreement.
