2.5 Nature of the Data. SV77 handles Customer Data provided by Customer. Such Customer Data may contain special categories of data depending on how the Services are used by Customer. The Customer Data may be subject to the following process activities: (i) registration and other processing necessary to provide, maintain and improve the Services provided to Customer; (ii) to provide customer and technical support to Customer; and (iii) disclosures as required by law or otherwise set forth in the Agreement.
2.6 SV77 Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement (including this DPA), Customer acknowledges that SV77 shall have a right to use and disclose data relating to and/or obtained in connection with the operation, support and/or use of the Services for its legitimate business purposes, such as billing, account management, technical support, product development and sales and marketing. To the extent any such data is considered personal data under Data Protection Laws, SV77 is the Controller of such data and accordingly shall process such data in compliance with Data Protection Laws.
1. Subprocessing
3.1 Authorized Sub-processors. Customer agrees that SV77 may engage Sub-processors to process Personal Data on Customer's behalf. The Sub-processors currently engaged by SV77 and authorized by Customer are listed in Annex A.

Customer may object in writing to SV77’s appointment of a new Sub-processor on reasonable grounds relating to data protection by notifying SV77 promptly in writing within five (5) calendar days of receipt of SV77’s notice in accordance with Section 3.3. Such notice shall explain the reasonable grounds for the objection. In such event, the parties shall discuss such concerns in good faith with a view to achieving commercially reasonable resolution. If this is not possible, either party may terminate the applicable Services that cannot be provided by SV77 without the use of the objected-to-new Sub-processor.

SV77 shall implement appropriate safeguards to protect the Personal Data, wherever it is processed, in accordance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws.
5.2 Transfer Mechanism:
Notwithstanding Section 5.1, to the extent SV77 processes or transfers (directly or via onward transfer) Personal Data under this DPA from the European Union, the European Economic Area and/or their member states and Switzerland (“EU Data”) in or to countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of applicable Data Protection Laws of the foregoing territories, the parties agree that SV77 shall be deemed to provide appropriate safeguards for such data by virtue of having certified its compliance with the Privacy Shield and SV77 shall process such data in compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles. Customer hereby authorises any transfer of EU Data to, or access to EU Data from, such destinations outside the EU subject to any of these measures having been taken.
1. Return or Deletion of Data
6.1 Upon deactivation of the Services, all Personal Data shall be deleted, save that this requirement shall not apply to the extent SV77 is required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Personal Data, or to Personal Data it has archived on back-up systems, which such Personal Data SV77 shall securely isolate and protect from any further processing, except to the extent required by applicable law.
2. Cooperation
8.1 To the extent that Customer is unable to independently access the relevant Personal Data within the Services, SV77 shall (at Customer's expense) taking into account the nature of the processing, provide reasonable cooperation to assist Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures, in so far as is possible, to respond to any requests from individuals or applicable data protection authorities relating to the processing of Personal Data under the Agreement. In the event that any such request is made directly to SV77, SV77 shall not respond to such communication directly without Customer's prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so. If SV77 is required to respond to such a request, SV77 shall promptly notify Customer and provide it with a copy of the request unless legally prohibited from doing so.

9.3 In no event shall any party limit its liability with respect to any individual's data protection rights under this DPA or otherwise.

SV77 INC.
Secure information storage
SV77 is firmly committed to the privacy of our customers and their data stored on the SV77 platform. You can read more about the privacy of your account information and data in our Privacy Policy.
In addition to the security of your account information, we also treat the data you store on our services with the utmost sensitivity.
Payment Data Security
Credit / debit card purchases for SV77 services are processed by the third-party vendor eCommpay. When our customers provide their credit / debit card information on our website the data is sent to eCommpay, i.e., the payment data is not stored in our systems.
For PayPal transactions, SV77 passes the request to PayPal and the transaction occurs directly on the PayPal website. Therefore, the payment data is not stored in our systems. Both eCommopay and PayPal power online financial transactions for thousands of businesses globally, and they are compliant with PCI-DSS standards for the storage and handling of payment information.
Communications
All communications with SV77 are transmitted over TLS (HTTPS) for all of our services. We provide connectivity to our customer via SSL Certificate, a standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser
Data Security
Physical Security
Our data centers are co-located in some of the most respected data center facility providers in the world. We leverage all of the capabilities of these providers including physical security and environmental controls to secure our infrastructure from physical threat or impact. Each site is staffed 24/7/365 with on-site physical security to protect against unauthorized entry. Security controls provided by our data center facilities includes but is not limited to:
A video-monitored, high-security perimeter surrounding the entire data center park. Entry is only possible via electronic access control terminals with a transponder key or admission card. All movements are recorded and documented. Ultra-modern surveillance cameras provide 24/7 monitoring of all access routes, entrances, security door interlocking systems and server rooms. Colocation rack clients have their own key and access code for the secure server rack. The administration interface Robot allows Colocation customers to set up their entry authorization in advance and allows them to make appointments for their first visit to the data center and/or for a service visit from an external company. A generated password enables on-site personnel to authenticate and issue a transponder key for the interlocking doors to the rack. The visit is logged, and the footage recorded is archived in the administration interface for monitoring purposes.
Infrastructure Security
SV77's infrastructure is secured through a defense-in-depth layered approach. Access to the management network infrastructure is provided through multi-factor authentication points which restrict network-level access to infrastructure based on job function utilizing the principle of least privilege. All access to the ingress points are closely monitored, and are subject to stringent change control mechanisms.
Systems are protected through key-based authentication and access is limited by Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). RBAC ensures that only the users who require access to a system are able to login. We consider any system which houses customer data that we collect, or systems which house the data customers store with us to be of the highest sensitivity. As such, access to these systems is extremely limited and closely monitored.
Additionally, hard drives and infrastructure are securely erased before being decommissioned or reused to ensure that your data remains secure.
Access Logging
Systems controlling the management network at SV77 log to our centralized logging environment to allow for performance and security monitoring. Our logging includes system actions as well as the logins and commands issued by our system administrators.
Security Monitoring
SV77's Security team utilizes monitoring and analytics capabilities to identify potentially malicious activity within our infrastructure. User and system behaviours are monitored for suspicious activity, and investigations are performed following our incident reporting and response procedures.
Employee Access
The security and data integrity of customer accounts is of the utmost importance at SV77. As a result, our technical support staff do not have access to the backend hypervisors where virtual servers reside nor direct access to the storage systems where snapshots and backup images reside. Only select engineering teams have direct access to the backend hypervisors based on their role.

Overview
Passed in 2016, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most significant legislative change in European data protection laws since the EU Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC) introduced in 1995. The GDPR, which becomes enforceable on May 25, 2018, seeks to strengthen the security and protection of personal data in the EU and serve as a single piece of legislation for all of the EU. It will replace the EU Data Protection Directive and all the local laws relating to it.
We support the GDPR and will ensure all SV77 services comply with its provisions by May 25, 2018. Not only is the GDPR an important step in protecting the fundamental right of privacy for European citizens, it also raises the bar for data protection, security and compliance in the industry.
GDPR FAQ
What is the GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new European privacy law that goes into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR will replace the EU Data Protection Directive, also known as Directive 95/46/EC, and will apply a single data protection law throughout the EU.
Data protection laws govern the way that businesses collect, use, and share personal data about individuals. Among other things, they require businesses to process an individual’s personal data fairly and lawfully, allow individuals to exercise legal rights in respect of their personal data (for example, to access, correct or delete their personal data), and ensure appropriate security protections are put in place to protect the personal data they process.
We have taken steps to ensure that we will be compliant with the GDPR by May 25, 2018.
Who does the GDPR apply to?
The GDPR applies to all entities and individuals based in the EU and to entities and individuals, whether or not based in the EU, that process the personal data of EU individuals. The GDPR defines personal data as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This is a broad definition and includes data that is obviously personal (such as an individual’s name or contact details) as well as data that can be used to identify an individual indirectly (such as an individual’s IP address).
What is SV77 role under GDPR?
We act as both a data processor and a data controller under the GDPR.
SV77 as a data processor: When customers use our products and services to process EU personal data, we act as a data processor.
SV77 as a data controller: We act as a data controller for the EU customer information we collect to provide our products and services and to provide timely customer support. This customer information includes things such as customer name and contact information.
What have we done to comply with GDPR?
We have conducted an extensive analysis of our operations to ensure we comply with the new requirements of the GDPR. We have reviewed our products and services, customer terms, privacy notices and arrangements with third parties for compliance with the GDPR. We can confirm we will be fully compliant with the GDPR by May 25, 2018.
What personal data do we collect and store from our customers?
We store data that customers have given us voluntarily. For example, in our role as data controller, we may collect and store contact information, such as name, email address, phone number, or physical address, when customers sign up for our products and services or seek support help. We also may collect other identifying information from our customers, such as IP address, Paypal ID for external services.
We separately act as a data processor when customers use our products and services to process EU personal data. Customers decide what personal data, if any, is uploaded to our products and services.
What is the SV77 Data Processing Agreement ("DPA")?
Customers that handle EU personal data are required to comply with the privacy and security requirements under the GDPR. As part of this, they must ensure that the vendors they use to process the EU personal data also have privacy and security protections in place. Our DPA outlines the privacy and security protections we have in place. We are committed to GDPR compliance and to helping our customers comply with the GDPR when they use our services. We have therefore made our DPA available to all our customers and it can be found here: Data Processing Agreement.
Are customers required to sign the SV77 DPA?
In order to use our products and services, you need to accept our DPA, which we have provided a link to on our website: Data Processing Agreement. By agreeing to our terms of service, you are automatically accepting our DPA and do not need to sign a separate document.
Can a customer share the SV77 DPA with its customers?
Yes. The DPA is a publicly available document and customers who wish to share it with their customers to confirm our security measures and other terms may feel free to do so.
Do customers need to notify anyone upon accepting our DPA?
No. You are not required to notify us or any third party upon accepting our DPA though, as mentioned above, you are free to do so.
Is there any unique DPA needs for certain countries?
The GDPR applies to all of the EU and we offer a DPA that is compliant to the GDPR in all EU countries.
Do we transfer data internationally?
The GDPR replicates the Data Protection Directive restrictions on transferring data outside the EU and prohibits the export of personal data outside of the EU to non-EU recipients unless the export meets certain criteria.
How do we handle delete instructions from customers?
Customers have the ability to remove or delete information they have uploaded to our store. Likewise, customers may deactivate their account and request that all personal data we have collected and is not processed or used. Log into your account at (cloud.sv77.com) for further instructions
