Data Processing Addendum

This Data Processing Addendum is also available for download (PDF) here.

This Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) forms a part of the Customer Terms of Service found here, unless Customer has entered into a superseding written master subscription agreement with Trevor, in which case, it forms a part of such written agreement (in either case, the “Agreement”).

The subject-matter of the data processing covered by this DPA is the Service ordered by Customer either through Trevor’s website or through an Ordering Document and provided by Trevor to Customer via www.trevor.io, or as additionally described in the Agreement or the DPA. Further details of the data processing are set out in Annex 1 hereto.

  1. Definitions

    Within this Data Processing Addendum, “GDPR” means the UK GDPR (as further explained in clause 2 below), and “Controller”, “Processor”, “Data Subject”, “Personal Data”, “Personal Data Breach” and “Processing” shall have the same meanings as are defined in the GDPR. “Processed” and “Process” shall be construed in accordance with the definition of “Processing”. All other defined terms herein shall have the same meanings as are defined elsewhere in this Agreement.
  2. UK GDPR

    The UK GDPR is the data privacy regulation that governs the processing of the personal data of residents in the United Kingdom. It is the UK’s version of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), implemented after UK’s exit from the EU (Brexit).
    The UK GDPR merges together two prior sets of data protection regulations namely, the EU GDPR and the DPA 2018. The UK GDPR became effective from 1 st January 2021. It is almost identical to the EU GDPR, and sets the same standards as required under the EU GDPR. It has been formally recognised by the EU Commission as providing appropriate data protection. The transfer of personal information from the EU to the UK has been specifically permitted under the ‘EU adequacy provisions’ and, similarly, under UK GDPR, the transfer of data from the UK to the EEA is also permitted.
  3. Data Processing
    i. In conducting its activities as Processor under this Agreement in relation to any Personal Data within Your Data (“Your Personal Data”), Trevor confirms that:

    a. the duration and purpose of the Processing shall be as specified in the Agreement;

    b. the categories of Data Subjects include your representatives, Users and any other
    individuals identified or identifiable by Your Personal Data;

    c. your obligations and rights as Controller in relation to Your Personal Data are as set out in this Agreement.

    ii. To the extent that Trevor Processes Your Personal Data under or in connection with the Agreement, Trevor shall:

    a. only Process Your Personal Data in accordance with your instructions as set out in this Agreement, including in respect of the transfer of Your Personal Data, and subject to any exceptions permitted by Article 28(3)(a) of the GDPR;

    b. ensure that those of its employees authorised to Process Your Personal Data under this Agreement have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality in relation to Your Personal Data;

    c. implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect Your Personal Data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, theft, alteration or disclosure.

    d. respect the conditions referred to below in Section 2(ii) of this Data Processing Addendum when appointing sub-Processors;

    e. at Customer’s request and cost, assist you by appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible through Trevor, to enable you to fulfil your obligations to respond to requests for the exercise of rights by a Data Subject under Chapter III of the GDPR;

    f. assist you in ensuring compliance with your obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 GDPR taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information which is available to Trevor;

    g. on termination of the Agreement, delete the Personal Data pursuant to the Agreement, unless European Union or Member State law requires Personal Data to be retained;

    h. notify Customer without undue delay if, in Trevor’s opinion, an instruction for the processing of personal data given by Customer infringes applicable Data Protection Legislation;

    ii. You authorise Trevor to subcontract its data Processing obligations under this Agreement to Trevor’s Affiliates, and to other third parties, a list of which is available here. Trevor shall do so only by way of a written agreement with such sub-Processor which imposes the same data protection obligations on the sub-Processor as are imposed on Trevor under this Agreement.

    iv. Trevor shall notify you without undue delay upon becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach relating to Your Personal Data. Such notice shall include, at the time of notification or as soon as possible after notification, relevant details of the Personal Data Breach where possible, including the number of your records affected, the category and approximate number of affected Users, anticipated consequences of the breach and any actual or proposed remedies, where appropriate, for mitigating the possible adverse effects of the breach.
  4. Transfer mechanisms
    For transfers of personal data under this DPA from the European Union, the European Economic Area, and/or their members states and Switzerland, to countries that do not ensure an adequate level of data protection, to the extent such transfers are subject to such applicable data protection laws, the Standard Contractual Clauses set forth in Exhibit A to this DPA apply. This DPA and the Customer Agreement are Customer's complete and final instructions at the time of execution for the processing of Personal Data.
  5. Controls for the Protection of Personal Data.
    Trevor shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures for protection of the security (including protection against unauthorized or unlawful Processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data), confidentiality and integrity of Personal Data, as set forth in the Security Practices section of the Customer Terms of Service. Trevor regularly monitors compliance with these measures. Trevor will not materially decrease the overall security of the Services during a subscription term.

    Customer may audit Trevor’s compliance with the terms of the Agreement and this DPA up to once per year.

    Customer may perform more frequent audits 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 Trevor 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. Trevor will review the audit plan and provide Customer with any concerns or questions (for example, any request for information that could compromise Trevor’s security, privacy, or employment policies). Before the commencement of any such audit, Customer and Trevor shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit, in addition to the reimbursement rate for which Customer shall be responsible.

2. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the Data Exporter, arising out of a breach by the Data Importer or his subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the Data Exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the Data Importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the Data Importer as if it were the Data Exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the Data Exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.

Clause 9


Governing Law


The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the Data Exporter is established.

Clause 12


Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services


1. The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the Data Importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the Data Exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the Data Exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the Data Exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the Data Importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the Data Importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
