The Controller also will be entitled, upon written request, to receive copies of the relevant terms of Scalingo’s agreement with Subprocessors that may process Personal Data, unless the agreement contains confidential information, in which case the Scalingo may provide a redacted version of the agreement.

Accordingly, Scalingo will implement the following measures:

  • a) To prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to data processing systems in which Personal Data are Processed (physical access control), Scalingo shall take measures to prevent physical access, such as security personnel and secured buildings and factory premises.

  • c) To ensure that persons entitled to use a data processing system only have access to the Personal Data to which they have privilege of access, and that Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified or removed without authorization in the course of Processing and/or after storage (data access control), Personal Data is accessible and manageable only by properly authorized staff, direct database query access is restricted, and application access rights are established and enforced.

    In addition to the access control rules set forth above, Scalingo implements an access policy under which Data Controller controls access to its Cloud Services environment and to Personal Data and other data by its authorized personnel.

Data Controller is solely responsible for the results of its decision to use non-encrypted communications or transmissions.

  • f) To ensure that Personal Data is protected against accidental destruction or loss: backups are taken on a regular basis; backups are encrypted and are secured.

  • g) To ensure that Personal Data which is collected for different purposes may be Processed separately, data from different Data Controllers’ environments is logically segregated on Scalingo’s systems.

11. Audit Rights

The Customer may audit Scalingo’s compliance with the terms of the Agreement and this Data Processing Agreement up to once per year.

The Customer may perform more frequent audits of the Service computer systems that Process Personal Data to the extent required by laws applicable to the Customer. If a third party is to conduct the audit, the third party must be mutually agreed to by both parties and must execute a written confidentiality agreement acceptable to Scalingo before conducting the audit.

To request an audit, the Customer must submit a detailed audit plan at least 4 weeks in advance of the proposed audit date describing the proposed scope, duration, and start date of the audit.

Scalingo evaluates and responds to incidents that create suspicion of unauthorized access to or handling of Personal Data.

The Customer is informed of such incidents and, depending on the nature of the activity, defines escalation paths and response teams to address those incidents. Scalingo will work with the Customer, with the appropriate technical teams and, where necessary, with outside law enforcement to respond to the incident. The goal of the incident response will be to restore the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Services environment, and to establish root causes and remediation steps.

Scalingo operations staff is instructed on responding to incidents where handling of personal data may have been unauthorized.

Scalingo shall notify the Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach.

At Customer’s request, Scalingo will provide reasonable information in its possession that may be responsive to the demand and any assistance reasonably required for the Customer to respond to the demand in a timely manner. The Customer acknowledges that Scalingo has no responsibility to interact directly with the entity making the demand.

14. Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services

The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, Scalingo will make available for retrieval or otherwise will return Customer’s Personal Data stored in the Platform environment, unless legislation imposed upon the parties prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred.
