Data Processing Terms

Version dated: 9th of December 2024

0.1 Overview

These data processing terms (the "Data Processing Terms") sets out the terms and conditions applicable to Wenn Property AS's ("WP") Processing of Personal Data on behalf of the Customer under the Agreement. The Data Processing Terms shall take precedence over the Agreement, including any terms incorporated therein, for matters pertaining to WP's Processing of Personal Data on behalf of the Customer.

0.2 Customer's role

Customer is either a controller or a processor of the Personal Data processed under these Data Processing Terms. When Customer is a data controller, WP is a data processor. When Customer is a data processor, WP is a sub-processor. These Data Processing Terms covers both situations.

WP understands that if the Customer is considered a data processor in its agreement with its customer, see section 0.2 above, the Customer acts on behalf of another legal controller of the Personal Data processed under these Data Processing Terms, and that WP shall be subject to similar obligations as the Customer is required by its customer in accordance with Article 28(4) of the GDPR.

All rights of the Controller under these Data Processing Terms also apply to the Customer's customers when they are the legal controller of the Personal Data. Unless otherwise specified, WP shall only be in direct contact with and follow the instructions from the Customer, even if there is another legal controller of the Personal Data processed under these Data Processing Terms.

These Data Processing Terms include the Data Processing Specification attached as Attachment 1 hereto.

Subject to Clause 13 below, these Data Processing Terms apply as of the date set out above.

1. Background and purpose

Under the terms of the Agreement, WP will have access to and process Personal Data on behalf of the Controller.

These Data Processing Terms set forth the rights and obligations of the parties pursuant to regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (the "GDPR"), and the applicable national data protection legislation implementing the GDPR (jointly, the "Applicable Data Protection Law").

2. Definitions and Interpretation

For the purposes of these Data Processing Terms, "Controller", "Data Subject", "Member State(s)", "Processor", "Processing", "Personal Data", "Personal Data Breach", "Third Countries" and "Supervisory Authority" shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Applicable Data Protection Law.

Other capitalised terms and expressions used in these Data Processing Terms shall have the meaning set out in the Agreement and as defined herein, including in Clause 15 below.

3. Description and purpose of the Processing

The Processing carried out by WP on behalf of the Customer under these Data Processing Terms, including its nature and purpose, relevant Processing operations, categories of Personal Data and Data Subjects involved, is further described in the Data Processing Specification.

4. Requirements for the Processing

4.1 General requirements

WP shall only Process the Personal Data in accordance with these Data Processing Terms, the Agreement, instructions from the Customer and Applicable Data Protection Law, and not process Personal Data for any other purposes.

The restrictions set out in Clause 4.1.1 shall not apply where WP is obligated to Process the Personal Data pursuant to Member State or EU/EEA law. In the event of any such obligation, WP shall notify the Customer unless prohibited from disclosing this information by the relevant laws.

If, in WP's opinion, an instruction from the Customer is in violation of Applicable Data Protection Law or other mandatory national or EU/EEA law, WP shall notify the Customer thereof.

WP shall ensure that measures are implemented in accordance with the requirements of the Applicable Data Protection Law in order to ensure confidentiality (i.e. that Personal Data are not disclosed to unauthorized persons or parties), integrity (i.e. that the Personal Data is not unintentionally changed in relation to the Processing) and availability (i.e. that the persons that are required have access to the Personal Data, have the necessary access) in relation to the Processing of Personal Data.

4.2 Transfers of Personal Data to Third Countries

WP shall (and shall procure that any WP personnel shall) not Process or cause the Personal Data to be Processed outside the EEA without the Customer's prior written consent, and provided that the necessary measures to ensure an adequate level of protection for the Personal Data in accordance with the Applicable Data Protection Law are in place. In the event that an approved transfer of Personal Data outside the EEA requires that Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCC") pursuant to Commission Implementing Decision 2021/914/EU of 4 June 2021 (or any successor thereto) are entered into with the Third Country recipient of the Personal Data, WP shall enter into such SCCs with the Third Country recipient in its own name.

By entering into the Agreement, the Customer consents to the transfers of Personal Data identified in Data Processing Specification attached to these Data Processing Terms.

4.3 Personnel requirements

WP shall ensure that the Personal Data are Processed solely by reliable personnel who are:

  • granted access to the Personal Data on a need-to-know basis;
  • familiar with the Applicable Data Protection Law provisions applicable to the Processor's Processing of Personal Data;
  • trained in the care, protection and handling of Personal Data;
  • authorised to Process the Personal Data only as necessary for the purposes set out in these Data Processing Terms; and
  • subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

1. Description and purpose of the Processing

1.1 Purposes and nature of the Processing

The overall purpose of the Processing is to fulfil the purposes and provide the services set out in the Agreement. The operation of WP's solution and the provisioning of an optimized tool to the Customer, requires certain processing of personal data.

Under these Data Processing Terms, WP will store Personal Data of the Customer (as described in section 1.4 below) in the tenant storage, to enable the relevant data flow, to allow the Customer to utilize WP's solution in its business operations, and to establish a damage assessment report on behalf of the Customer.

1.2 Processing of Personal Data outside the scope of these Data Processing Terms

Appendix 3 to the Agreement sets out the Conceptual Data Architecture of WP, including a description of the relevant scenarios of data processing and the parties' roles and responsibilities in this regard.

WP intends to anonymize certain Personal Data provided by the Customer for use in machine learning and data analytics. Once the Personal Data has been anonymized in accordance with GDPR requirements, such that the data subjects can no longer be identified directly or indirectly, the resulting anonymized data falls outside the scope of these Data Processing Terms and GDPR. WP will be free to process such anonymized data for machine learning and analytics purposes without the constraints of these Data Processing Terms.

Where Appendix 3 appoint WP as the Controller for a specific processing operation, WP's Processing of Personal Data is outside the scope of these Data Processing Terms.

The Processing of the Personal Data for the purposes described in Clause 1.1 above will involve such Processing operations as are necessary in pursuit of the stated purposes, including, inter alia, the following basic Processing operations such as data collection, disclosure, access, storage and structuring, as well as deletion.

Some operations may be wholly or partially automated. Additional Processing operations may also be performed subject to the Customer's instructions or be required to accommodate changes to the Pilot from time-to-time.

1.4 Categories of Personal Data

As a Processor the processing may involve, inter alia, the following categories of Personal Data: insurance policy information, names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, IDs of the reports created by WP, and the report itself.
