Contract data processing agreement
This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) supplements the MANSIO Terms of Use regarding the MANSIO Software and the MANSIO internet portal available at https://app.mansio-logistics.com/, as updated from time to time between Customer and MANSIO, or other agreement between Customer and MANSIO governing Customer’s use of the MANSIO services (the “Agreement”). This DPA is an agreement between you and the entity you represent (“Customer”, “you” or “your”) and MANSIO GmbH, Bismarckstr. 2-8, 52066 Aachen (“MANSIO”). Unless otherwise defined in this DPA or in the Agreement, all capitalized terms used in this DPA will have the meanings given to them in Section 16 of this DPA.
- Data Processing.
1.1 Scope and Roles. This DPA applies when Customer Data is processed by MANSIO. In this context, MANSIO will act as processor to Customer, who can act either as controller or processor of Customer Data.
1.2 Details of Data Processing.
1.2.1 Subject matter. The subject matter of the data processing under this DPA is Customer Data.
1.2.2 Duration. As between MANSIO and Customer, the duration of the data processing under this DPA is determined by Customer.
1.2.3 Purpose. The purpose of the data processing under this DPA is the provision of the Services initiated by Customer from time to time.
1.2.4 Nature of the processing. Compute, storage and such other services as described in the Documentation and initiated by Customer from time to time.
1.2.5 Type of Customer Data. Customer Data uploaded to the Services under Customer’s MANSIO accounts.
1.2.6 Categories of data subjects. The data subjects could include Customer’s customers, employees, suppliers and End Users.
1.3 Compliance with Laws. Each party will comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to it and binding on it in the performance of this DPA, including Applicable Data Protection Law such as the GDPR.
2. Customer Instructions. The parties agree that this DPA and the Agreement (including Customer providing instructions via configuration tools and APIs made available by MANSIO for its Services) constitute Customer’s documented instructions regarding MANSIO’s processing of Customer Data (“Documented Instructions”). MANSIO will process Customer Data only in accordance with Documented Instructions (which if Customer is acting as a processor, could be based on the instructions of its controllers). Additional instructions outside the scope of the Documented Instructions (if any) require prior written agreement between MANSIO and Customer, including agreement on any additional fees payable by Customer to MANSIO for carrying out such instructions. Customer is entitled to terminate this DPA and the Agreement if MANSIO declines to follow instructions requested by Customer that are outside the scope of, or changed from, those given or agreed to be given in this DPA. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Customer agrees that it is unlikely MANSIO can form an opinion on whether Documented Instructions infringe Applicable Data Protection Law. If MANSIO forms such an opinion, it will immediately inform Customer, in which case, Customer is entitled to withdraw or modify its Documented Instructions.
3. Confidentiality of Customer Data. MANSIO will not access or use, or disclose to any third party, any Customer Data, except, in each case, as necessary to maintain or provide the Services, or as necessary to comply with the law or a valid and binding order of a governmental body (such as a subpoena or court order). If a governmental body sends MANSIO a demand for Customer Data, MANSIO will attempt to redirect the governmental body to request that data directly from Customer. As part of this effort, MANSIO may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the governmental body. If compelled to disclose Customer Data to a governmental body, then MANSIO will give Customer reasonable notice of the demand to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless MANSIO is legally prohibited from doing so.
4. Confidentiality Obligations of MANSIO Personnel. MANSIO restricts its personnel from processing Customer Data without authorization by MANSIO as described in the Security Standards. MANSIO imposes appropriate contractual obligations upon its personnel, including relevant obligations regarding confidentiality, data protection and data security.
5. Security of Data Processing.
5.1 MANSIO has implemented and will maintain the technical and organizational measures as described in the Security Standards and this section. In particular, MANSIO uses AWS and the AWS Network as its sub-processor regarding the processing of Customer Data. AWS has implemented and will maintain the following technical and organizational measures:
(a) security of the AWS Network as set out in Section 1.1 of the Security Standards;
(b) physical security of the facilities as set out in Section 1.2 of the Security Standards;
(c) measures to control access rights for authorized personnel to the AWS Network as set out in Section 1.3 of the Security Standards; and
(d) processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organizational measures implemented by AWS as described in Section 2 of the Security Standards.
5.2 Customer can elect to implement technical and organizational measures to protect Customer Data. Such technical and organizational measures include the following, which can be obtained by Customer from MANSIO as described in the Documentation, or directly from a third-party supplier:
(a) pseudonymization and encryption to ensure an appropriate level of security;
(b) measures to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of the processing systems and services that are operated by Customer; measures to allow Customer to back up and archive appropriately in order to restore availability and access to Customer Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and
(c) processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organizational measures implemented by Customer.
6. Sub-processing.
6.1 Authorized Sub-processors. Customer provides general authorization to MANSIO’s use of sub-processors to provide processing activities on Customer Data on behalf of Customer (“Sub-processors”) in accordance with this Section. The MANSIO website (currently posted at https://mansio-logistics.com/en-us/cdpa/) lists Sub-processors that are currently engaged by MANSIO. At least 30 days before MANSIO engages a Sub-processor, MANSIO will update the applicable website and provide Customer with a mechanism to obtain notice of that update. To object to a Sub-processor, Customer can: (i) terminate the Agreement pursuant to its terms; (ii) cease using the Service for which MANSIO has engaged the Sub-processor.
6.2 Sub-processor Obligations. Where MANSIO authorizes a Sub-processor as described in Section 6.1:
(i) MANSIO will restrict the Sub-processor’s access to Customer Data only to what is necessary to provide or maintain the Services in accordance with the Documentation, and MANSIO will prohibit the Sub-processor from accessing Customer Data for any other purpose;
(ii) MANSIO will enter into a written agreement with the Sub-processor and, to the extent that the Sub-processor performs the same data processing services provided by MANSIO under this DPA, MANSIO will impose on the Sub-processor the same contractual obligations that MANSIO has under this DPA; and
(iii) MANSIO will remain responsible for its compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of the Sub-processor that cause MANSIO to breach any of MANSIO’s obligations under this DPA.
7. MANSIO Assistance with Data Subject Requests. Taking into account the nature of the processing, MANSIO will assist Customer in fulfilling Customer’s obligations to respond to data subjects’ requests under Applicable Data Protection Law. If a data subject makes a request to MANSIO, MANSIO will promptly forward such request to Customer once MANSIO has identified that the request is from a data subject for whom Customer is responsible. Customer authorizes on its behalf, and on behalf of its controllers when Customer is acting as a processor, MANSIO to respond to any data subject who makes a request to MANSIO, to confirm that MANSIO has forwarded the request to Customer. The parties agree that MANSIO forwarding data subjects’ requests to Customer in accordance with this Section, represent the scope and extent of Customer’s required assistance.
8. Security Incident Notification.
8.1 Security Incident. MANSIO will (a) notify Customer of a Security Incident without undue delay after becoming aware of the Security Incident, and (b) take appropriate measures to address the Security Incident, including measures to mitigate any adverse effects resulting from the Security Incident.
8.2 MANSIO Assistance. To enable Customer to notify a Security Incident to supervisory authorities or data subjects (as applicable), MANSIO will cooperate with and assist Customer by including in the notification under Section 8.1(a) such information about the Security Incident as MANSIO is able to disclose to Customer, taking into account the nature of the processing, the information available to MANSIO, and any restrictions on disclosing the information, such as confidentiality. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Customer agrees that it is best able to determine the likely consequences of a Security Incident.
8.3 Unsuccessful Security Incidents. Customer agrees that:
(i) an unsuccessful Security Incident will not be subject to this Section 8. An unsuccessful Security Incident is one that results in no unauthorized access to Customer Data or to any of MANSIO’s equipment or facilities storing Customer Data, and could include, without limitation, pings and other broadcast attacks on firewalls or edge servers, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts, denial of service attacks, packet sniffing (or other unauthorized access to traffic data that does not result in access beyond headers) or similar incidents; and
(ii) MANSIO’s obligation to report or respond to a Security Incident under this Section 8 is not and will not be construed as an acknowledgement by MANSIO of any fault or liability of MANSIO with respect to the Security Incident.
8.4 Communication. Notification(s) of Security Incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of Customer’s administrators by any means MANSIO selects, including via email. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure Customer’s administrators maintain accurate contact information on the MANSIO platform and secure transmission at all times.
8.5 Notification Obligations. If MANSIO notifies Customer of a Security Incident, or Customer otherwise becomes aware of any accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Customer Data, Customer will be responsible for (a) determining if there is any resulting notification or other obligation under Applicable Data Protection Law and (b) taking necessary action to comply with those obligations. This does not limit MANSIO’s obligations under this Section 8.
9. AWS Certifications and Audits.
9.1 AWS ISO-Certification and SOC Reports. In addition to the information contained in this DPA, upon Customer’s request, and provided that the parties have an applicable NDA in place, MANSIO will make available the following AWS documents and information:
(i) the certificates issued for the ISO 27001 certification, the ISO 27017 certification, the ISO 27018 certification, and the ISO 27701 certification (or the certifications or other documentation evidencing compliance with such alternative standards as are substantially equivalent to ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, and ISO 27701); and
(ii) the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 Report, the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Report and the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 3 Report (or the reports or other documentation describing the controls implemented by AWS that replace or are substantially equivalent to the SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3).
9.2 AWS Audits. AWS uses external auditors to verify the adequacy of its security measures, including the security of the physical data centers from which AWS provides its services. This audit: (a) will be performed at least annually; (b) will be performed according to ISO 27001 standards or such other alternative standards that are substantially equivalent to ISO 27001; (c) will be performed by independent third-party security professionals at AWS’s selection and expense; and (d) will result in the generation of an audit report (“Report”), which will be AWS’s Confidential Information.
9.3 Audit Reports. At Customer’s written request, and provided that the parties have an applicable NDA in place, MANSIO will provide Customer with a copy of the Report so that Customer can reasonably verify MANSIO’s respectively AWS’s compliance with its obligations under this DPA.
9.4 Privacy Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation. Taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to AWS, MANSIO will assist Customer with the help of AWS in complying with Customer’s obligations in respect of data protection impact assessments and prior consultation, by providing the information AWS makes available under this Section 9.
10. Customer Audits. If Customer chooses to conduct any audit, including any inspection, it has the right to request or mandate on its own behalf, and on behalf of its controllers when Customer is acting as a processor, under Applicable Data Protection Law or the Standard Contractual Clauses, by instructing MANSIO to carry out the audit described in Section 10. If Customer wishes to change this instruction regarding the audit, then Customer has the right to request a change to this instruction by sending MANSIO written notice as provided for in the Agreement. If MANSIO declines to follow any instruction requested by Customer regarding audits, including inspections, Customer is entitled to terminate the Agreement in accordance with its terms.
11. Transfers of Personal Data.
11.1 Regions. MANSIO can specify the location(s) where Customer Data will be processed within the AWS Network (each a “Region”), including Regions in the EEA. Once MANSIO has made its choice, AWS will not transfer Customer Data from Customer’s selected Region(s) except as necessary to provide the Services initiated by Customer, or as necessary to comply with the law or valid and binding order of a governmental body.
11.2 Application of Standard Contractual Clauses. The Standard Contractual Clauses will only apply to Customer Data subject to the GDPR that is transferred, either directly or via onward transfer, to any Third Country (each a “Data Transfer”).
11.2.1 When Customer is acting as a controller, the Controller-to-Processor Clauses will apply to a Data Transfer.
11.2.2 When Customer is acting as a processor, the Processor-to-Processor Clauses will apply to a Data Transfer. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Customer agrees that it is unlikely that MANSIO will know the identity of Customer’s controllers because MANSIO has no direct relationship with Customer’s controllers and therefore, Customer will fulfil MANSIO’s obligations to Customer’s controllers under the Processor-to-Processor Clauses.
12. Termination of the DPA. This DPA will continue in force until the termination of the Agreement (the “Termination Date”).
13. Return or Deletion of Customer Data. At any time up to the Termination Date, and for 90 days following the Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, MANSIO will return or delete Customer Data when Customer requests such return or deletion. No later than the end of this 90-day period, Customer will close all MANSIO accounts containing Customer Data.
14. Duties to Inform. Where Customer Data becomes subject to confiscation during bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, or similar measures by third parties while being processed by MANSIO, MANSIO will inform Customer without undue delay. MANSIO will, without undue delay, notify all relevant parties in such action (for example, creditors, bankruptcy trustee) that any Customer Data subjected to those proceedings is Customer’s property and area of responsibility and that Customer Data is at Customer’s sole disposition.
15. Entire Agreement; Conflict. This DPA incorporates the Standard Contractual Clauses by reference. Except as amended by this DPA, the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If there is a conflict between the Agreement and this DPA, the terms of this DPA will control, except that the Service Terms will control over this DPA.

Annex 1 AWS Security Standards
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this document have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
1 Information Security Program. AWS will maintain an information security program designed to (a) enable Customer to secure Customer Data against accidental or unlawful loss, access, or disclosure, (b) identify reasonably foreseeable risks to the security and availability of the AWS Network, and (c) minimize physical and logical security risks to the AWS Network, including through regular risk assessment and testing. AWS will designate one or more employees to coordinate and be accountable for the information security program.
AWS’s information security program will include the following measures:
1.1 Logical Security.
A. Access Controls. AWS will make the AWS Network accessible only to authorized personnel, and only as necessary to maintain and provide the Services. AWS will maintain access controls and policies to manage authorizations for access to the AWS Network from each network connection and user, including through the use of firewalls or functionally equivalent technology and authentication controls. AWS will maintain access controls designed to (i) restrict unauthorized access to data, and (ii) segregate each customer’s data from other customers’ data.
B. Restricted User Access. AWS will (i) provision and restrict user access to the AWS Network in accordance with least privilege principles based on personnel job functions, (ii) require review and approval prior to provisioning access to the AWS Network above least privileged principles, including administrator accounts; (iii) require at least quarterly review of AWS Network access privileges and, where necessary, revoke AWS Network access privileges in a timely manner, and (iv) require two- factor authentication for access to the AWS Network from remote locations.
C. Vulnerability Assessments. AWS will perform regular external vulnerability assessments and penetration testing of the AWS Network, and will investigate identified issues and track them to resolution in a timely manner.
D. Application Security. Before publicly launching new Services or significant new features of Services, AWS will perform application security reviews designed to identify, mitigate and remediate security risks.
E. Change Management. AWS will maintain controls designed to log, authorize, test, approve and document changes to existing AWS Network resources, and will document change details within its change management or deployment tools. AWS will test changes according to its change management standards prior to migration to production. AWS will maintain processes designed to detect unauthorized changes to the AWS Network and track identified issues to a resolution.
F. Data Integrity. AWS will maintain controls designed to provide data integrity during transmission, storage and processing within the AWS Network. AWS will provide Customer the ability to delete Customer Data from the AWS Network.
G. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. AWS will maintain a formal risk management program designed to support the continuity of its critical business functions (“Business Continuity Program”). The Business Continuity Program includes processes and procedures for identification of, response to, and recovery from, events that could prevent or materially impair AWS’s provision of the Services (a “BCP Event”). The Business Continuity Program includes a three-phased approach that AWS will follow to manage BCP Events:
(i) Activation & Notification Phase. As AWS identifies issues likely to result in a BCP Event, AWS will escalate, validate and investigate those issues. During this phase, AWS will analyze the root cause of the BCP Event.
(ii) Recovery Phase. AWS assigns responsibility to the appropriate teams to take steps to restore normal system functionality or stabilize the affected Services.
(iii) Reconstitution Phase. AWS leadership reviews actions taken and confirms that the recovery effort is complete and the affected portions of the Services and AWS Network have been restored. Following such confirmation, AWS conducts a post-mortem analysis of the BCP Event.
H. Incident Management. AWS will maintain corrective action plans and incident response plans to respond to potential security threats to the AWS Network. AWS incident response plans will have defined processes to detect, mitigate, investigate, and report security incidents. The AWS incident response plans include incident verification, attack analysis, containment, data collection, and problem remediation. AWS will maintain an AWS Security Bulletin (as of the Effective Date, http://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/) which publishes and communicates security related information that may affect the Services and provides guidance to mitigate the risks identified.
I. Storage Media Decommissioning. AWS will maintain a media decommissioning process that is conducted prior to final disposal of storage media used to store Customer Data. Prior to final disposal, storage media that was used to store Customer Data will be degaussed, erased, purged, physically destroyed, or otherwise sanitized in accordance with industry standard practices designed to ensure that the Customer Data cannot be retrieved from the applicable type of storage media.
1.2 Physical Security.
A. Access Controls. AWS will (i) implement and maintain physical safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized physical access, damage, or interference to the AWS Network, (ii) use appropriate control devices to restrict physical access to the AWS Network to only authorized personnel who have a legitimate business need for such access, (iii) monitor physical access to the AWS Network using intrusion detection systems designed to monitor, detect, and alert appropriate personnel of security incidents, (iv) log and regularly audit physical access to the AWS Network, and (v) perform periodic reviews to validate adherence with these standards.
B. Availability. AWS will (i) implement redundant systems for the AWS Network designed to minimize the effect of a malfunction on the AWS Network, (ii) design the AWS Network to anticipate and tolerate hardware failures, and (iii) implement automated processes designed to move customer data traffic away from the affected area in the case of hardware failure.
1.3 AWS Employees.
A. Employee Security Training. AWS will implement and maintain employee security training programs regarding AWS information security requirements. The security awareness training programs will be reviewed and updated at least annually.
B. Background Checks. Where permitted by law, and to the extent available from applicable governmental authorities, AWS will require that each employee undergo a background investigation that is reasonable and appropriate for that employee’s position and level of access to the AWS Network.
2. Continued Evaluation. AWS will conduct periodic reviews of the information security program for the AWS Network. AWS will update or alter its information security program as necessary to respond to new security risks and to take advantage of new technologies.
