PART A - Updated Standard Contractual Clauses (2021)

Replaces: Annex 2 of the GoldFynch Data Processing Addendum (Directive 95/46/EC SCCs) Legal basis: Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021


A1. Module Selection and Application

The following Module applies to GoldFynch's processing of Company Personal Data:

Module Description Applicable Scenario
Module 2 Controller to Processor Company (Controller) → GoldFynch (Processor) - primary module
Module 3 Processor to Processor Where Company itself acts as Processor for a third-party Controller

For the purposes of this Part A, Module 2 applies by default unless the Company notifies GoldFynch in writing that Module 3 applies to its use case.


A2. Clause 1 - Purpose and Scope

These Standard Contractual Clauses ("Clauses") set out appropriate safeguards, including enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies, pursuant to Article 46(1) and Article 46(2)(c) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, for the transfer by the data exporter to the data importer of the personal data as specified in Annex I.


A3. Clause 2 - Effect and Invariability

These Clauses set out appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to a third country (the United States), which does not ensure an adequate level of protection. These Clauses shall not be modified except to select the appropriate Module(s) or to add or update information in the Annexes.


A4. Clause 3 - Third-Party Beneficiaries

Data subjects may invoke and enforce these Clauses as third-party beneficiaries against the data exporter and/or data importer, including where data subjects' rights have been infringed as a result of the processing of their personal data.


A5. Clause 7 - Docking Clause

An entity that is not a party to these Clauses may, with the agreement of the parties, accede to these Clauses at any time, either as a data exporter or data importer by completing the Annexes and signing Annex I.A.


A6. Clause 8 - Data Protection Obligations (Module 2 Summary)

GoldFynch, as data importer, shall:

  • Process Company Personal Data only on documented instructions from Company
  • Inform Company immediately if it believes instructions infringe applicable data protection law
  • Ensure persons authorised to process data are subject to confidentiality obligations
  • Implement appropriate technical and organisational measures (see Annex II and Part D)
  • Assist Company in ensuring compliance with data subject rights obligations
  • Delete or return all personal data at the choice of Company after end of services
  • Make available to Company all information necessary to demonstrate compliance
  • Allow for and contribute to audits conducted by Company or a mandated auditor

A7. Clause 9 - Sub-Processors (Module 2)

  • Option 2 (General Written Authorisation) applies: Company provides general authorisation to GoldFynch to engage sub-processors listed in the Sub-processors Register (DPA Annex 1, Appendix 1)
  • GoldFynch will give Company at least 14 days' prior written notice of any intended addition or replacement of sub-processors
  • Company may object on reasonable grounds within that period; resolution procedure as per DPA section 6.3

A8. Clause 13 - Supervision

The competent supervisory authority is determined as follows:

Transfer Context Supervisory Authority
EEA transfers (where data exporter is EU-established) The supervisory authority of the Member State where the data exporter is established
UK transfers UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) (via UK IDTA - see Part B)

A9. Clause 14 - Local Laws and Practices Assessment

Both parties warrant, as of the date of these Clauses, that they have no reason to believe that the laws and practices applicable to the processing by the data importer - including any requirements to disclose personal data or measures authorising public authorities' access - prevent the data importer from fulfilling its obligations under these Clauses.

GoldFynch's formal assessment of US law is set out in full in Part C (Transfer Impact Assessment) of this Compliance Pack.


A10. Clause 15 - Government Access Obligations

GoldFynch commits to:

  • Notify Company of any legally binding request for access to Company Personal Data by a public authority as soon as legally permissible
  • Notify Company of any direct access by public authorities to Company Personal Data
  • Challenge any government access request it reasonably considers unlawful or disproportionate before complying
  • Publish an annual transparency report disclosing aggregate information on government access requests received (to the extent permitted by law)

A11. Clause 17 - Governing Law

These Clauses shall be governed by the law of one of the EU Member States, provided such law allows for third-party beneficiary rights. The parties select the law of the Republic of Ireland.

(Note: For UK transfers, Clause 17 is amended by the UK IDTA (Part B) to refer to the law of England and Wales.)


A12. Clause 18 - Choice of Forum and Jurisdiction
