1.2 Where used in this Schedule, the terms Data Controller, Data Processor, Data Subject, Personal Data and processing and Special Category Data all have the meanings given to those terms in the Data Protection Legislation.

1.3 This Schedule is intended to be legally binding and shall prevail over all other agreements, arrangements and understandings between the Parties relating to the Data Sharing, whether made before or after the date of this Schedule and notwithstanding any wording to the contrary in such agreements, arrangements and understandings between the Parties.

1.4 In case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Schedule and the main terms of the Agreement, the provisions contained in this Schedule shall prevail.

1.5 A reference to a statute or statutory provision includes all subordinate legislation made under it from time to time, and is a reference to it as amended, extended or re-enacted from time to time (“Replacement Law”). References to terms defined in a statute or statutory provision shall be replaced with or incorporate (as the case may be) references to the equivalent terms defined in any Replacement Laws, once in force and applicable.

1.6 To the extent that a term of this Schedule requires the performance by a party of an obligation “in accordance with Data Protection Legislation” (or similar), unless otherwise expressly agreed in this Schedule, this requires performance in accordance with the relevant requirements of such Data Protection Legislation as is in force and applicable at the time of performance (if any).

  1. PURPOSE

2.1 In relation to the Shared Personal Data, each of the Parties agrees that it is a Data Controller.

2.2 During the term of this Agreement, the Parties shall share with each other certain Personal Data as detailed in the Privacy Notice. The Data Sharing is necessary to support the Agreed Purposes of both Parties.

2.3 The parties shall only use the Shared Personal Data for lawful purposes in connection with the Agreed Purpose and not process the Shared Personal Data in a way that is incompatible with the Agreed Purpose or Data Protection Legislation.

  1. DATA PROTECTION COMPLIANCE

3.1 Each Party shall comply with all the obligations imposed on a controller under the Data Protection Legislation. Any material breach of the Data Protection Legislation by a Party in connection with the Data Sharing shall constitute a material breach of this Schedule.

3.2 Each Party shall:

  1. process the Shared Personal Data fairly and lawfully, each of them as a Data Controller;
  2. for each Agreed Purpose, ensure that it processes the Shared Personal Data on the basis of one of the legal grounds set out in Article 6 of the GDPR (Lawfulness of Processing) or Article 9 of the GDPR (Processing of special categories of personal data) (as applicable);

  5. if legally required, inform the other Party without delay if a Data Subject requests the erasure of any Shared Personal Data.
