3.1. WGS obligations as a Processor

In this context, WGS undertakes to provide Processor Services in compliance with the provisions of the Agreement and the Applicable Regulations.


Parties acknowledge and agree that for the provision of Processor Services, WGS will have access to and/or process Client’s Databases, Client’s Data as well as End-Users’ data which contain Personal Data and will implement a Processing whose specificities are described Section 3.3 of this DPA. WGS undertakes to retain Personal Data processed on behalf of Client for the duration of the Term or as otherwise instructed by Client. WGS shall, at the choice of Client, either return such Personal Data to Client in compliance with the provisions of the Agreement or delete such Personal Data. WGS also undertakes to destroy all copies of the Personal Data in WGS’s possession or control, unless legislation imposed upon WGS prevents the destruction of all or part of the Personal Data.


WGS, as a Processor, undertakes:

  • to process Personal Data for the sole purpose of providing the Processor Services and in general to only act in accordance with Client’s written and documented instructions;
  • to immediately inform the Client if WGS believes that Client’s instructions would infringe the Applicable Regulations. In such a case, WGS shall not proceed with the Processing of Personal Data unless and until (i) the Client issues new instructions, or (ii) if applicable, Client confirms in writing the previous instructions, it being specified that in such a case, should the instructions be held infringing the Applicable Regulation by a competent Supervisory Authority or a Court, WGS shall bear no liability in this respect;
  • to take all appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality and security of Personal Data and to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to comply with the Applicable Regulations and ensure the protection of Data Subjects’ rights and more specifically protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure or unauthorized access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data through a network, and against any form of unlawful Processing. These measures must ensure, given the state of the art and the cost of their implementation, an appropriate level of security in consideration of the risks of the Processing and the nature of Personal Data which is to be protected. These technical and organizational measures are documented under the following link: https://www.woosmap.com/policies/security-measures. WGS regularly monitors compliance with these measures and may update them from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement;
  • that the personnel authorized to process Client’s Personal Data is bound by a confidentiality obligation;
  • to the extent possible, taking into account the nature of the Processing, to answer, without undue delay and at the latest within ten (10) business days, to any request from Client relating to the Personal Data so that Client may respond within due time to any request from Data Subjects (right of access, to rectification, to erasure, to object, etc.);
  • to the extent reasonably possible, to cooperate and assist Client in case Client has to demonstrate compliance with the Applicable Regulations;
  • to the extent reasonably possible, cooperate and assist with Client for the completion of any formalities and for the performance of data protection impact assessments in accordance with Article 35 of the GDPR;

Client hereby acknowledges and agrees that WGS Affiliates and any other third party may be involved in the Processing of Personal Data for the provision of Processor Services (the “Sub-processors”).

The current list of Sub-processors approved by Client is available at the following link : https://www.woosmap.com/policies/authorized-subprocessors-list. WGS undertakes to keep such detailed list of all Sub-Processors that will be involved up-to-date and inform Client of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of Sub-Processors before such changes being effective, it being specified that Client may oppose such changes on reasonable legal grounds, based on a concrete provision of Applicable Regulation. In any case, subcontracting by WGS may only occur if Client has not objected to it within one (1) month following the notification of the change by WGS. Upon receipt of Client’s objection, WGS in its discretion may elect to cure the objection by: (i) not using the Sub-Processor; (ii) taking the corrective steps requested to continue using the Sub-Processor; or (iii) ceasing to provide the part or aspect of the Processor Service conducted by the Sub-Processor. If the objection has not been cured within one (1) month after WGS’s receipt of Client’s objection, either party may terminate Processor Services upon one (1) month’ written notice 


In case of sub processing, WGS undertakes to enter into an agreement with the Sub-processor which include obligations at least equivalent to those to which WGS is bound under this DPA. WGS shall be liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-processors to the same extent WGS would be liable if performing the services of each Sub-processor directly under the terms of the Agreement.


Client hereby acknowledges and agrees that WGS and/or its authorized Sub-Processors may transfer Personal Data outside the EEA. The current list of authorized transfers outside the EEA approved by Client is available at the following link : https://www.woosmap.com/policies/authorized-subprocessors-list. In this respect, WGS undertakes to inform the Client within one (1) month before the effective implementation of any new transfer and to either transfer Personal Data to a third country recognized as providing an adequate level of protection or to implement appropriate safeguards (including the execution of Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission Implementing Decision 2021/914 dated June 2021, under module 3; or to base such transfers on Sub-Processors’ Binding Corporate Rules) so that all appropriate guarantees aimed at ensuring the protection of the data in accordance with the Applicable Regulation are taken.


If WGS has reasons to believe or has become convinced of the existence of a Personal Data Breach, WGS undertakes:

  • to notify Client of the existence of the Personal Data Breach as soon as possible after becoming aware of it;
  • to provide Client with information allowing it to comply with its notification obligations with the Supervisory Authority and/or any other competent authorities in accordance with Article 33 of the GDPR.

WGS uses external auditors to verify the adequacy of the technical and organizational security measures on the infrastructure that is used to perform the Processor Services. This audit is performed, at least annually, by independent third-party security professionals, at WGS’s selection and expense. It will result in the generation of an audit report, which shall be considered as WGS’ Confidential Information. At Client’s written request, and provided that the parties have an applicable NDA in place, WGS will provide Client with a copy of such audit report so that Client can reasonably verify WGS’ compliance with its obligations under this DPA.

3.2. Client’s obligations as a Controller

For Processor Services, Client undertakes to :

  • document in writing any specific and additional instruction that would not be reflected in this DPA, it being specified that such instructions should be accepted by WGS to be binding;
  • inform End-Users of the Processing implemented with its Personal Data through the Processor Services, in accordance with Applicable Regulations;
  • obtain, where necessary, End-Users’ consent to process their Personal Data and/or make sure the Processing implemented through the Processor Services relies on an appropriate legal basis under the GDPR;
