This Data Protection Agreement is an integral part of the Modjo General Terms and Conditions of Sales.
The Parties intend to comply with all applicable regulations regarding the Processing of Personal Data, and in particular the Law n°78-17 of January 6, 1978 (known as "Informatique et Libertés") as amended and the General Regulation on the Protection of Personal Data n°2016-679 dated April 27, 2016 ("GDPR").
The Parties have agreed to this Agreement in order to comply with the provisions of Article 28, in particular paragraphs 3 and 4, of the GDPR. This Agreement applies to the processing of personal data as specified in Article 1.
It is expressly agreed that the terms used in this Agreement with a capital letter (e.g. Controller, Personal Data, Service...) correspond to the definitions contained in the GDPR and in the T&Cs. This Agreement shall be read and interpreted in light of the provisions of the GDPR.
It is agreed as follows:
The details of the processing operations, in particular the categories of personal data and the purposes of processing for which the personal is processed on behalf of the Client, in its quality of Controller, are :
RINGO will only process personal data on the documented instruction of the Client and in accordance with the above provisions, unless it is required to do so under Union law or the law of the Member State to which it is subject. In this case, RINGO will inform the Client of this legal obligation prior to processing, unless it is prohibited by law on important grounds of public interest. Instructions may also be given subsequently by the Client throughout the processing of the personal data. These instructions must always be documented.
If RINGO believes that an instruction from the Client constitutes a violation of the applicable regulations on the protection of personal data, it will immediately inform the Client. RINGO is in no way responsible for the Client's instructions and decisions and their possible consequences.
The provisions of this Contract, as well as the activation by the Client, its Administrators or Users of the translation and AI Assistant features constitute documented instructions from the Client to RINGO.
RINGO shall process the Personal Data only for the purposes of the processing, as set out in Article 1, unless it receives further instructions from the Client.
RINGO will only process personal data for the period defined in Article 1 of this contract, unless RINGO receives other documented instructions from the Client.
RINGO undertakes to put in place appropriate technical and organisational security measures to ensure the security of the Personal Data it processes against any destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, or any other form of unauthorised processing. In assessing the appropriate level of security, RINGO takes due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing and the risks involved for the data subjects.
A description of these measures has been drawn up by RINGO in accordance with Article 32 of the GDPR and is available upon written request.
When the AI Assistant functionality is activated by the Customer, he accepts that the security measures implemented are those of the OpenAI security policy.
RINGO grants access to the personal data undergoing processing to members of its personnel only to the extent strictly necessary for implementing, managing and monitoring the Service. RINGO ensures that persons authorised to process the personal data received are under an appropriate contractual obligation of confidentiality.
RINGO shall make available to the Client all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations that are set out in this Contract and stem directly from GDPR.
At the request of the Client, RINGO shall also permit and contribute to audits of the processing activities covered by this Contract, at reasonable intervals or if there are indications of non-compliance.
The reasonable intervals mean that an audit may be carried out at the rate of one (1) time per calendar year, and with sixty (60) days' written notice to RINGO.
This audit must be conducted in a manner that respects the security and confidentiality of RINGO's documentation and procedures. It will last no more than one (1) day and will be held during normal business hours at RINGO's location.
The Controller may decide to carry out the audit itself or to appoint an independent auditor, chosen by mutual agreement between the parties and subject to an obligation of confidentiality.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Client shall be responsible for all costs and/or expenses incurred as a result of such visit.
The parties shall make available to the competent supervisory authority(ies), upon request, the information set forth in this clause, including the results of any audit.
RINGO has the Client’s general authorisation for the engagement of sub-processors enumerated in the agreed list (Annex 1).
RINGO undertakes to provide an updated list of its subcontractors and their processing activities upon request by the Client.
RINGO shall inform the Client of any intended changes of that list through the addition or replacement of sub-processors at least eight (8) days prior to the addition or the replacement date of the concerned sub-processor.
The Client may object to RINGO use of a new sub-processor by notifying RINGO promptly in writing (e.g., via email) and before the addition or the replacement date of the concerned sub-processor. In the event the Client objects, RINGO will use reasonable efforts to make available to the Client a change in the Service or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Client’s configuration or use of the Service to avoid process of Personal Data by the objected-to new sub-processor If RINGO is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, the Client may terminate the applicable Order Form with respect only to those services which cannot be provided by RINGO without the use of the objected-to new sub-processor by providing written notice to RINGO, with return receipt requested.
The absence of Client’s objections will be deemed as the Client’s acceptance of the changes affecting the sub-processors list.
Where RINGO engages a sub-processor for carrying out specific processing activities on behalf of the Client, the sub-processor of RINGO is obliged to fulfil, in substance, the same data protection obligations as the ones imposed on RINGO in accordance with this Contract It is the responsibility of RINGO to ensure that the sub-processor presents sufficient guarantees as to the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures so that the processing meets the requirements of GDPR.
RINGO remains fully responsible to the Client for the performance by its sub-processors of its obligations.
Some sub-processors only process Client data when the feature for which they are acting is activated by the Administrator or the Client's User.
Thus, the sub-processor OpenAI processes Client data only when the Administrator has activated the AI Assistant . When this feature is enabled, OpenAI will process Client data for the provision of intelligent summaries, chapters and scoring.
Similarly, the sub-processor Deepl only processes Customer data when the User activates the translation feature for a specific record. When this feature is activated, Deepl will process the Client's data related to this record in order to provide a translation.
The Client shall inform Data Subjects of the processing of their data and of their rights under the “Loi Informatique et Libertés” and GDPR (rights of access, information, opposition, etc.). In particular, the Client must inform its own employees and their correspondents of the recording of their telephone and video conversation and of the fact that they can at any time object to such recording. RINGO may not be held responsible for this obligation under any circumstances.
RINGO will notify the Client without delay of any request, including the exercise of rights, that it receives from the Data Subject. The Client undertakes to respond to requests from the Data Subject within one (1) month.
RINGO shall promptly notify the Client of any request it has received from the data subject. The Client undertakes to respond to requests from Data Subjects within one (1) month.
As a Processor, RINGO shall assist the Client in fulfilling its obligations to respond to data subjects’ requests to exercise their rights, taking into account the nature of the processing and the Client’s instructions. RINGO shall also assist the Client in ensuring its compliance with its following obligations, taking into account the nature of the data processing and the information available to RINGO :
In the event of an inspection, control or audit by a public authority, including a Control Authority, each Party undertakes to provide all necessary assistance to the other.
If the public authority considers that the processing carried out violates the applicable regulations on the protection of Personal Data, the Parties undertake to communicate and take the necessary measures immediately to remedy the violation.
In the event of a personal data breach, RINGO shall cooperate with and assist the Client in complying with the Client's obligations under Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to RINGO.
In the event of a breach of personal data not caused by the Client, RINGO undertakes to take immediate remedial action.
RINGO shall notify the Client of any breach as soon as possible after its discovery, by e-mail addressed to the Client.
Such notification shall contain all relevant information about the breach, in order to enable the Client, if necessary, to notify the relevant Supervisory Authority and/or the data subjects of the breach, in accordance with its obligations as a Controller.
The Parties undertake to cooperate fully to bring the breach to an end as soon as possible.
Personal data processed by RINGO on behalf of the Client and RINGO’s websites and databases are hosted by Amazon Web Services on servers located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
Any transfer of data to a third country or an international organisation by RINGO shall be done only on the basis of this Contract or in order to fulfil a specific requirement under Union or Member State law to which the processor is subject and shall take place in compliance with Chapter V of GDPR.
Prior to a transfer authorised by the Client, RINGO undertakes to put in place the necessary measures to ensure that the recipient located in the country outside the European Economic Area presents an adequate level of protection. When the Client has activated the AI Assistant feature, the Client agrees to the processing of its data by OpenAI in accordance with its processing terms and to the transfer of its data to the United States in accordance with the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission.
RINGO might transfer personal data to the permitted sub-processors identified in Annex 1 “List of Permitted sub-processor”. Such sub-processors might be located outside the European Union. In such a case, RINGO makes sure the sub-processor can ensure compliance with Chapter V of GDPR by presenting an adequate level of protection, such as using standard contractual clauses adopted by the Commissions or approved BCR.
A complete list and information on our subsequent subcontractors is provided in Appendix 1.
RINGO reserves the right to modify this PAD at any time. Customer will be notified of such changes by email (sent to the Modjo Administrator's email address) or at www.modjo.ai or on the Modjo conversational analytics business platform, as RINGO may decide.
Except for the use of sub-processors, as stated in Article 7 of this DPA, changes to this DPA will apply to the Client, even if it has registered before the change, eight (8) days after the information has been given to them. In the event the updated DPA would be of material detriment to the Client and the change is not required by applicable laws, regulations, directive, guidance or decision of an european data protection authority or a court order, the Client informs RINGO of the Client’s objection and its reason within eight (8) days of the information. If the Parties cannot reach an agreement within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the Client’s objection, the Client may terminate the Service affected by the change without penalty by written notice to RINGO. Any use of the Service after the information of the Client will be deemed as the Client’s acceptance of the updated DPA.
Following termination of the Contract, the Client will have a period of one (1) month to request in writing the return, in a raw file format and under its own responsibility, of its recordings; failing such a request within this period, RINGO may proceed with the definitive destruction of all data, including logs and back-ups.
