  2. For transfers of Personal Data from the UK to a non-Adequate Jurisdiction, the UK Controller-to-Processor SCCs are deemed incorporated into this DPA in their entirety and without alteration, except as noted below. For reference, the UK Controller-to-Processor Standard Contractual Clauses are available at the following link: https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/documents/2620100/uk-sccs-c-p-202107.docx or any subsequent link published by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

 

The parties’ signature to this DPA shall be considered as a signature for the Standard Contractual Clauses.

 

II. Adjustments to the SCCs for Personal Data Transfers from Switzerland

 

1. To the extent that the data exporter transfers Personal Data related only to Swiss data subjects to a Non-Adequate Jurisdiction, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection of 19 June 1992 (“FADP”) applies to the transfers of the Personal Data and, therefore, the following adjustments to the SCCs shall apply to ensure an adequate level of protection for the transfers of Personal Data outside Switzerland in accordance with the FADP:

 

i. Annex I.C under Clause 13 of the SCCs:

 

The competent supervisory authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (“FDPIC”);

ii. Clause 17 of the SCCs:

 

The law governing the Standard Contractual Clauses is Swiss law;

iii. The use of the term ‘EU Member State’ in the SCCs must not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude data subjects in Switzerland from the possibility of suing for their rights in their place of habitual residence (Switzerland) in accordance with Clause 18 of the SCCs;

iv. References to the GDPR in the SCCs are to be understood as references to the FADP; and

v. The SCCs also protect the data of legal entities until the entry into force of the revised FADP (scheduled to come into force in the second half of 2022).

 

2. To the extent that the data exporter transfers Personal Data related to Swiss and EEA data subjects or if the transfers of Personal Data are otherwise subject to the extraterritoriality provisions of the EU GDPR (Article 3), the FADP and the GDPR apply in parallel to the transfers of Personal Data. In this case, the Parties agree that the GDPR standard will apply to the transfers of Personal Data because the GDPR provides adequate protection and data subjects are consequently not disadvantaged as a result of the transfers. The following adjustments to the SCCs shall apply:

 

  1. Annex I.C under Clause 13 of the SCCs: The competent supervisory authorities are the FDPIC, insofar as the transfers of Personal Data are governed by the FADP, and the EEA competent supervisory authority as indicated in Annex I.C of the SCCs, insofar as the transfers of Personal Data are governed by the GDPR;

  2. the use of the term ‘EU Member State’ in the SCCs must not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude data subjects in Switzerland from the possibility of suing for their rights in their place of habitual residence (Switzerland) in accordance with Clause 18 of the SCCs; and

  3. the SCCs also protect the data of legal entities until the entry into force of the revised FADP (scheduled to come into force in the second half of 2022).

 

III. UK SCCs

 

When a data exporter processes Personal Data from the UK to a non-Adequate Jurisdiction and the data exporter acts as a Controller and the data importer processes Personal Data in its capacity as a Processor, the UK Controller-to-Processor SCCs apply. With respect to the UK Controller-to-Processor SCCs, the Parties hereby further agree that the details of the processing and the description of the technical and organizational security measures are set forth in Schedule 1 of this DPA (Details of Processing) and Schedule B (Technical and Organizational measures) of this DPA.
