Data Protection

When Bud Plug Processes Personal Data in the course of providing the Services, Bud Plug will:

  • Process the Personal Data as a Data Processor and/or Service Provider, only for the purpose of providing the Services in accordance with documented instructions from you (provided that such instructions are commensurate with the functionalities of the Services), and as may subsequently be agreed to by you. If Bud Plug is required by law to Process the Personal Data for any other purpose, Bud Plug will provide you with prior notice of this requirement, unless Bud Plug is prohibited by law from providing such notice.
  • As part of providing the Services, Bud Plug transfers Personal Data at your instruction to MaxMind, a fraud detection service that processes Personal Data to provide you with risk scores to help you avoid fraudulent transactions. In this capacity, MaxMind acts as an independent Data Controller with regards to any Customer Personal Data that they may process and we are not responsible for how they process such data. You can find more information about MaxMind’s privacy practices here: www.maxmind.com/en/privacy-policy;
  • Notify you if, in Bud Plug’s opinion, your instruction for the Processing of Personal Data infringes applicable Data Protection Legislation;
  • Notify you promptly, to the extent permitted by law, upon receiving an inquiry or complaint from a Supervisory Authority relating to Bud Plug’s Processing of the Personal Data;
  • Implement reasonable technical and organizational measures enabling you to execute Data Subject Requests that you are obligated to fulfil;
  • Implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, theft, alteration or disclosure. These measures shall be appropriate to the harm which might result from any unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, damage or theft of Personal Data and appropriate to the nature of the Personal Data which is to be protected;
  • Upon request, provide reasonable information to help the Customer complete the Customer’s data protection impact assessments.
  • Provide you, upon request, with up-to-date attestations, reports or extracts thereof where available from a source charged with auditing Bud Plug’s data protection practices (e.g. external auditors, internal audit, data protection auditors), or suitable certifications, to enable you to assess compliance with the terms of this Addendum;
  • Notify you without undue delay upon becoming aware of and confirming any accidental, unauthorized, or unlawful processing of, disclosure of, or access to the Personal Data;
  • Ensure that its personnel who access the Personal Data are subject to confidentiality obligations that restrict their ability to disclose the Customer Personal Data; and upon termination of the Agreement, Bud Plug will promptly initiate its purge process to delete or anonymize the Personal Data. If you request a copy of such Personal Data within 60 days of termination, Bud Plug will provide you with a copy of such Personal Data.

In the course of providing the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Bud Plug may use Subprocessors to Process the Personal Data. Bud Plug’s use of any specific Subprocessor to process the Personal Data must be in compliance with Data Protection Legislation and must be governed by a contract between Bud Plug and Subprocessor that requires comparable protections to this Data Processing Addendum. A current list of Subprocessors may be found online at: Bud Plug’s subprocessors. If you object to the appointment of a Subprocessor you may terminate this agreement in accordance with our Terms of Service and your Bud Plug Plus Agreement, if applicable.
