1. contact data (surname and name; user name; e-mail address; address; telephone number;),
2. user data (e.g., customer lifetime value),
3. potentially upon request GPS data showing current location,
4. and other personal data necessary for providing the Voucherify Services, including IP address, Customer’s Customers unique IDs.
3. Nature of the processing
- Voucherify collects and uses Customer Data in order to host promotions, loyalty programs, and such other features as described in the Documentation and initiated by the Customer from time to time.
- In the typical campaign flow, Voucherify enables its Customers to generate promotions, redeem them on mobile or web with client-side and backend Software Development Kits (SDKs), as well as fast-forward voucher functionality, having at the same time the security and scaling. Voucherify provides components to track and optimize Customer’s digital promotion performance, gives access to redemption history, monitors acquisition channels, compares performance, allowing at the same time to automate campaign management with the simple UI as well as streamline data analytics with CSV import and export to the benefit of the Customer.
- The Customer's Customers Data can be transferred to Voucherify to verify customer-oriented promotion rules.
4. Purpose(s) for which the personal data is processed on behalf of the controller
- The purpose of the data processing under this DPA is the provision of the Voucherify Services initiated by the Customer from time to time.
6. Duration of the processing
- As between Voucherify and Customer, the duration of the data processing under this DPA is determined by the main Agreement.
- If not requested by Customer, the Customer Data will be retained until 12 months after termination and expiry of the Agreement. Back-up copies will remain stored for 7 days or be removed immediately after they cease to be useful.
Annex 3
Technical and organisational measures including technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of the data.
The Security Measures applicable to the Services are described here (as updated from time to time in accordance with Section 6.4.1 above).
1. Measures of pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data
- The majority of Voucherify’s features do not require clear data, but can be operated with unique IDs. If Customer wants to leverage the coupons distribution function, either email addresses or phone numbers have to be stored. If Customer wishes to leverage discount validation rules based on address information, corresponding data will be transferred through API.
- Voucherify is a cloud-based Software as a Service platform that leverages Amazon AWS to host the Services. Voucherify uses strong encryption techniques for data security and fine-grained authorization to control access to data.
- Most Voucherify services operate on Amazon Web Services. All Voucherify components run within a secure AWS VPC and implement secure SSL-protected access, encryption at rest using an AES256 algorithm.
- Managing encryption keys effectively is vital for Voucherify Services. Therefore, Voucherify leverages the Key Management Service (KMS) from Amazon Web Services. AWS KMS is integrated with most other AWS services that encrypt collected data with encryption keys that Voucherify manages.
2. Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services
- Amazon’s data centers employ a set of advanced physical, network and software security measures to ensure the integrity and safety of customers’ data.
3. Measures for ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident
- Voucherify ensures that enterprises are provided with service around the clock. This involves making architectural changes at the application and infrastructural levels to add scalability and high availability. Our multi-tier architecture is adopted, supported by a load-balanced farm of application instances, running on a variable number of servers. Resiliency to hardware/software failures, as well as to denial of service attacks, is built from the ground up within the application.
- At the same time, an appropriate action plan for business continuity and disaster recovery is considered for any unplanned emergencies. This is essential to ensure the safety of the enterprise data and minimal downtime for enterprises.
- With AWS Voucherify Services are hosted on the Internet-scale, world-class infrastructure. Standard Distributed Denial of Service mitigation techniques such as syn cookies and connection limiting are used. To further mitigate the effect of potential DDoS attacks, Voucherify maintains internal bandwidth by implementing proper rate limiters.
- Voucherify ensures that all sensitive enterprise data is regularly backed up to facilitate quick recovery in case of disasters. Also, the use of strong encryption schemes to protect the backup data is recommended to prevent accidental leakage of sensitive information.
4. Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures in order to ensure the security of the processing
- The Voucherify platform is regularly a subject of penetration tests performed by a third-party vendor. In the course of the audit, particular emphasis is placed on the tests that had or could have had a negative impact on confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the data. The security tests are conducted in accordance with the best practices including OWASP Top 10 as well as internal methodologies of security testing prepared by a third-party vendor. The approach for tests includes manual tests based on methods listed previously and auditors’ experience as well as automatic tests using various tools, including Burp Suite Pro.
- Furthermore, Voucherify runs a PCI scan every quarter to maintain ongoing PCI compliance, adhering to stringent industry standards for storing, processing, and transmitting credit card information online. In addition, Voucherify ensures that customer payment information is encrypted at all times. Any uncovered vulnerability is prioritized, resolved, and deployed as soon as possible following discovery.
- As a system, Voucherify is built upon other third-party software components, sub-systems, services, open-source libraries, dependencies, packages, modules, operating systems, etc. Occasionally, a security vulnerability in such a third-party component is discovered and publicly disclosed, typically in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures registry (CVE), together with a severity score and potential impact information. In certain conditions, such vulnerabilities may also affect our servers. Therefore a solid and established process for managing vulnerabilities is vital for our company.
- To mitigate the risks of running a system that is out of date, on a periodic basis Voucherify runs an internal audit over all third-party software components, incl.
1. open-source libraries.
2. runtime environments.
3. Docker images.
4. AWS Services.
that are in use at Voucherify. - Moreover, automated scans are incorporated into our release build process. Voucherify also has automatic alerts and security-related notifications in place whenever a new vulnerability is detected among third-party components that our systems rely on.
- Once detected and confirmed, Voucherify strives to remediate the issues and patch the affected systems within a reasonable timeframe, depending on the issue's severity score. Issues that are considered critical, Voucherify addresses as soon as possible, within 30 days following discovery.
5. Measures for user identification and authorisation Measures for the protection of data during transmission Measures for the protection of data during storage
- To ensure compliance with internal and external data security standards of our organization, with user-level data security, Voucherify adds protective layers. Voucherify cloud service vendors provide role-based access control (RBAC) features, allowing user-specific access and editing permissions for Customers’ data. This system enables an access control-based, fine-grained, enforced segregation of duties within an organization. The access to data centers is limited with granular roles provided by AWS IAM (and a Salesforce counterpart). Two-factor authentication provides an extra layer of security to both identity access managers.
6. Measures for ensuring physical security of locations at which personal data are processed Measures for ensuring events logging
- AWS provides physical data center access only to approved employees. All employees who need data center access must first apply for access and provide a valid business justification. These requests are granted based on the principle of least privilege, where requests must specify to which layer of the data center the individual needs access, and are time-bound. Requests are reviewed and approved by authorized personnel, and access is revoked after the requested time expires. Once granted admittance, individuals are restricted to areas specified in their permissions.
- Voucherify does not maintain physical infrastructure to process data transferred by Customers. The entrusted data are not stored in physical form in Voucherify’s premises.
- Access to the system is available only from a closed VPN which is available only to the limited list of support staff and administrators. The Voucherify team uses a single-host-to-server VPN model for getting a connection with a secured IT system. Support staff and administrators use secured computers and follow policies for rotating private access keys to VPN. They use the Mac OS operating system and installed antivirus software. Moreover, they follow internal security policy and leverage disk encryption.
- Access via VPN is tracked in a dedicated logs repository (AWS CloudWatch) and can be audited by the management team.
- In particular cases, following Customer’s approval, support staff can access his account on Voucherify platform to perform maintenance or support checks. The access to the account is being granted case by case, for the minimum required time, following all security measures described above. The access is revoked once the support case is solved.
7. Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management Measures for certification/assurance of processes and products
- Voucherify uses a Linux based operating system for the application environment with a centrally managed configuration. Voucherify has established a policy to keep systems up to date with necessary security updates.
- The operations team maintains hardened standard server configurations. Systems are deployed and configured in a uniform manner using configuration management systems.
- All team members use the Mac OS operating system and installed antivirus software as well as disk encryption. Voucherify’s internal internet network is secured, there is a separate guest network.
- Voucherify follows change control procedures for all system and software configuration changes. These controls include, at a minimum, a documented impact for each change, change review, testing of operational functionality, and back-out procedures.
8. Measures for ensuring data minimisation Measures for ensuring data quality Measures for ensuring limited data retention Measures for ensuring accountability
- Voucherify designs and implements REST API interfaces for transferring personal data to make them adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed.
- Regarding consumers’ data, there is no need of storing them in Voucherify. This is optional and not required for using the vast majority of features. If Customer wants to leverage the coupons distribution function, either email addresses or phone numbers have to be stored. If Customer wishes to leverage discount validation rules based on address information, corresponding data will be transferred through API.
9. Measures for allowing data portability and ensuring erasure
- Voucherify introduced proper features to stay in line with data regulations for the right of portability, to be forgotten, and to rectification, see the section below for details and tutorials.
- Voucherify API and UI enable operators to export Data in CSV format.
10. Description of the specific technical and organisational measures to be taken by the processor to be able to provide assistance to the controller.
- Voucherify maintains an incident response process that includes direct participation and cooperation between support, security, and operations teams.
- The Voucherify incident response process includes notification, escalation, and reporting. When required, Customer notification is initiated through the Voucherify status page, Voucherify initiated reporting tickets, or direct email/phone communication to account contacts.
- Internally, Voucherify maintains an incident response plan that is tested on a regular basis. The plan addresses specific incident response procedures, data backup procedures, roles and responsibilities, customer communication, contact strategies, and legal and shareholder information flow.
- Voucherify maintains relationships with law enforcement to assist during incidents with criminal intent.
- Voucherify has relationships with third-party vendors to assist with forensics and investigations, as necessary.
- Each employee is required to take part in security and data protection training during the onboarding process. Employees and associates have specific data security responsibilities and authorizations specified in work regulations and employment contracts. The contracts contain confidentiality and general data security clauses as well as information on the personal data processed.
- The Customer can access and browse his customer’s data using Voucherify’s dashboard and access the data using Voucherify’s API calls.
- The Customer, at his own discretion, may decide to execute the following data processing procedures in his account in Voucherify:
1. Removing his account permanently from Voucherify.
2. Removing a team member permanently from Voucherify. - The Customer may decide to use the following features of Voucherify, using the Dashboard or API calls, to address data subject’s requests:

MODULE FOUR: Transfer processor to controller
8.1 Instructions
- The data exporter shall process the personal data only on documented instructions from the data importer acting as its controller.
- The data exporter shall immediately inform the data importer if it is unable to follow those instructions, including if such instructions infringe Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or other Union or Member State data protection law.

- After the end of the provision of the processing services, the data exporter shall, at the choice of the data importer, delete all personal data processed on behalf of the data importer and certify to the data importer that it has done so, or return to the data importer all personal data processed on its behalf and delete existing copies.
8.2 Security of processing
- The Parties shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of the data, including during transmission, and protection against a breach of security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access (hereinafter “personal data breach”). In assessing the appropriate level of security, they shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature of the personal data7, the nature, scope, context and purpose(s) of processing and the risks involved in the processing for the data subjects, and in particular consider having recourse to encryption or pseudonymisation, including during transmission, where the purpose of processing can be fulfilled in that manner.
- The data exporter shall assist the data importer in ensuring appropriate security of the data in accordance with paragraph (a). In case of a personal data breach concerning the personal data processed by the data exporter under these Clauses, the data exporter shall notify the data importer without undue delay after becoming aware of it and assist the data importer in addressing the breach.

SECTION III – LOCAL LAWS AND OBLIGATIONS IN CASE OF ACCESS BY PUBLIC AUTHORITIES
Clause 13
Supervision
N/A
Clause 14
Local laws and practices affecting compliance with the Clauses
MODULE FOUR: Transfer processor to controller (where the EU processor combines the personal data received from the third country-controller with personal data collected by the processor in the EU)
- The Parties warrant that they have no reason to believe that the laws and practices in the third country of destination applicable to the processing of the personal data by the data importer, including any requirements to disclose personal data or measures authorising access by public authorities, prevent the data importer from fulfilling its obligations under these Clauses. This is based on the understanding that laws and practices that respect the essence of the fundamental rights and freedoms and do not exceed what is necessary and proportionate in a democratic society to safeguard one of the objectives listed in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, are not in contradiction with these Clauses.
- The Parties declare that in providing the warranty in paragraph (a), they have taken due account in particular of the following elements:
1. the specific circumstances of the transfer, including the length of the processing chain, the number of actors involved and the transmission channels used; intended onward transfers; the type of recipient; the purpose of processing; the categories and format of the transferred personal data; the economic sector in which the transfer occurs; the storage location of the data transferred;
2. the laws and practices of the third country of destination– including those requiring the disclosure of data to public authorities or authorising access by such authorities – relevant in light of the specific circumstances of the transfer, and the applicable limitations and safeguards;
3. any relevant contractual, technical or organisational safeguards put in place to supplement the safeguards under these Clauses, including measures applied during transmission and to the processing of the personal data in the country of destination. - The data importer warrants that, in carrying out the assessment under paragraph (b), it has made its best efforts to provide the data exporter with relevant information and agrees that it will continue to cooperate with the data exporter in ensuring compliance with these Clauses.
- The Parties agree to document the assessment under paragraph (b) and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
- The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter promptly if, after having agreed to these Clauses and for the duration of the contract, it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or practices not in line with the requirements under paragraph (a), including following a change in the laws of the third country or a measure (such as a disclosure request) indicating an application of such laws in practice that is not in line with the requirements in paragraph (a).
- Following a notification pursuant to paragraph (e), or if the data exporter otherwise has reason to believe that the data importer can no longer fulfil its obligations under these Clauses, the data exporter shall promptly identify appropriate measures (e.g. technical or organisational measures to ensure security and confidentiality) to be adopted by the data exporter and/or data importer to address the situation. The data exporter shall suspend the data transfer if it considers that no appropriate safeguards for such transfer can be ensured, or if instructed bythe competent supervisory authority to do so. In this case, the data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses. If the contract involves more than two Parties, the data exporter may exercise this right to termination only with respect to the relevant Party, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise. Where the contract is terminated pursuant to this Clause, Clause 16(d) and (e) shall apply.
Clause 15
Obligations of the data importer in case of access by public authorities
MODULE FOUR: Transfer processor to controller (where the EU processor combines the personal data received from the third country-controller with personal data collected by the processor in the EU)
15.1 Notification
- The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter and, where possible, the data subject promptly (if necessary with the help of the data exporter) if it:
1. receives a legally binding request from a public authority, including judicial authorities, under the laws of the country of destination for the disclosure of personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses; such notification shall include information about the personal data requested, the requesting authority, the legal basis for the request and the response provided; or
2. becomes aware of any direct access by public authorities to personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses in accordance with the laws of the country of destination; such notification shall include all information available to the importer. - If the data importer is prohibited from notifying the data exporter and/or the data subject under the laws of the country of destination, the data importer agrees to use its best efforts to obtain a waiver of the prohibition, with a view to communicating as much information as possible, as soon as possible. The data importer agrees to document its best efforts in order to be able to demonstrate them on request of the data exporter.
- Where permissible under the laws of the country of destination, the data importer agrees to provide the data exporter, at regular intervals for the duration of the contract, with as much relevant information as possible on the requests received (in particular, number of requests, type of data requested, requesting authority/ies, whether requests have been challenged and the outcome of such challenges, etc.).
- The data importer agrees to preserve the information pursuant to paragraphs (a) to (c) for the duration of the contract and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
- Paragraphs (a) to (c) are without prejudice to the obligation of the data importer pursuant to Clause 14(e) and Clause 16 to inform the data exporter promptly where it is unable to comply with these Clauses.
15.2 Review of legality and data minimisation
- The data importer agrees to review the legality of the request for disclosure, in particular whether it remains within the powers granted to the requesting public authority, and to challenge the request if, after careful assessment, it concludes that there are reasonable grounds to consider that the request is unlawful under the laws of the country of destination, applicable obligations under international law and principles of international comity. The data importer shall, under the same conditions, pursue possibilities of appeal. When challenging a request, the data importer shall seek interim measures with a view to suspending the effects of the request until the competent judicial authority has decided on its merits. It shall not disclose the personal data requested until required to do so under the applicable procedural rules. These requirements are without prejudice to the obligations of the data importer under Clause 14(e).
- The data importer agrees to document its legal assessment and any challenge to the request for disclosure and, to the extent permissible under the laws of the country of destination, make the documentation available to the data exporter. It shall also make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
- The data importer agrees to provide the minimum amount of information permissible when responding to a request for disclosure, based on a reasonable interpretation of the request.
SECTION IV – FINAL PROVISIONS
Clause 16
Non-compliance with the Clauses and termination
- The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter if it is unable to comply with these Clauses, for whatever reason.
- In the event that the data importer is in breach of these Clauses or unable to comply with these Clauses, the data exporter shall suspend the transfer of personal data to the data importer until compliance is again ensured or the contract is terminated. This is without prejudice to Clause 14(f).
- The data exporter shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as it concerns the processing of personal data under these Clauses, where:
1. the data exporter has suspended the transfer of personal data to the data importer pursuant to paragraph (b) and compliance with these Clauses is not restored within a reasonable time and in any event within one month of suspension;
2. the data importer is in substantial or persistent breach of these Clauses; or
3. the data importer fails to comply with a binding decision of a competent court or supervisory authority regarding its obligations under these Clauses.
In these cases, it shall inform the competent supervisory authority of such non-compliance. Where the contract involves more than two Parties, the data exporter may exercise this right to termination only with respect to the relevant Party, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise. - Personal data collected by the data exporter in the EU that has been transferred prior to the termination of the contract pursuant to paragraph (c) shall immediately be deleted in its entirety, including any copy thereof. The data importer shall certify the deletion of the data to the data exporter. Until the data is deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses. In case of local laws applicable to the data importer that prohibit the return or deletion of the transferred personal data, the data importer warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and will only process the data to the extent and for as long as required under that local law.
- Either Party may revoke its agreement to be bound by these Clauses where (i) the European Commission adopts a decision pursuant to Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 that covers the transfer of personal data to which these Clauses apply; or (ii) Regulation (EU) 2016/679 becomes part of the legal framework of the country to which the personal data is transferred. This is without prejudice to other obligations applying to the processing in question under Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
Clause 17
Governing law
Transfer processor to controller
These Clauses shall be governed by the law of a country allowing for third-party beneficiary rights. The Parties agree that this shall be the law of Poland.
Clause 18
Choice of forum and jurisdiction
Transfer processor to controller
Any dispute arising from these Clauses shall be resolved by the courts of Poland.
APPENDIX
EXPLANATORY NOTE:
It must be possible to clearly distinguish the information applicable to each transfer or category of transfers and, in this regard, to determine the respective role(s) of the Parties as data exporter(s) and/or data importer(s). This does not necessarily require completing and signing separate appendices for each transfer/category of transfers and/or contractual relationship, where this transparency can [be] achieved through one appendix. However, where necessary to ensure sufficient clarity, separate appendices should be used.
