ExcluServ Acting as a Data Processor

In this context you are the data controller, with the relationship with the data subject and we are the data processor

Responsibilities

Our responsibilities (Data Processor)

ExcluServ will process all data in accordance with the instructions explicitly provided by the data controller. We will establish processes and procedures that keep the data secure and we will not share it with any other third parties, nor use it for any other purposes except as required by law.

Where we act as a processor, consistent with Article 28 UK GDPR our processing will be governed by a written contract and/or data processing agreement that sets out the required terms, including any use of sub-processors. 

We will work with you fully to support any GDPR compliance requirements, and where appropriate change our working practice to meet your needs. Per the terms of the governing contract or data processing agreement and consistent with Article 28(3)(h) UK GDPR, we will advise you of areas that we become aware of within your own processing, that in our opinion compromise adherence to relevant data protection legislation.

We will not use the data outside of the intended and agreed purpose.

We will only retain the data in line with our stated retention policy.

Your responsibilities (Data Controller)

It remains your responsibility, as the data controller, to comply fully with GDPR in relation to this data, including:

  • You must ensure you are authorised to disclose such information and for it to be processed by ExcluServ in the manner requested.
  • You must ensure that the individuals concerned are aware that their personal information is being collected and for what purpose, who the intended recipients of the information are and of their right to obtain access to that information.
  • You must ensure that your own systems and processes in relation to such data are compliant.

Data Subject Rights under GDPR

The data subjects whose data you instruct us to process, have rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, etc). These rights are exercised between the data subject and you as the data controller.

Where you are the data controller who has the primary relationship with the data subject, and we act as a processor:

  1. All Data Subject Access Requests (or exercising of other rights) should be directed to you, as the data controller.
  2. When we receive a request directly from an individual in relation to personal data we process on your behalf:
  • we will notify you without undue delay
  • we will not respond to the request unless instructed by you or required by law.

Data Breach

In the unlikely event that a breach of data privacy occurs, ExcluServ will inform you without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting personal data we process on your behalf.

Where the breach affects data that is owned by you as the data controller it will be your responsibility to notify the data subjects affected and where required, the appropriate supervisory authority such as the Information Commissioner’s Office.
