This appendix is an integral and indivisible part of Hopoti’s general terms of agreement for Sellers (hereinafter referred to as “Agreement”). This appendix and these conditions for data protection shall apply in the event that and insofar as Hopoti fulfils the role of a processor of personal data and the Seller has outsourced a certain portion of the processing of the personal data it possesses as a controller, as defined in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679), to Hopoti.

1. Definitions

The terms used in this appendix shall have the same meaning as given to them in the European Union regulation 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter referred to as “General Data Protection Regulation” or “GDPR”). Such key terms include controller, processor of personal data, personal data, data subject, processing and personal data breach.

2. The purpose of the processing of data

Hopoti provides Sellers with a booking service that includes a Stable-specific website for the Seller’s stable. The Seller has outsourced the Stable-specific website to be hosted by Hopoti (hereinafter referred to as “Hosting service”). This appendix states that the parties agree that Hopoti shall be the processor of personal data with regard to the Stable-specific website (hereinafter referred to as “Data processor”) and that it shall process personal data on behalf of the Seller, the Controller, for the duration of the validity of the Agreement.

The Data processor shall have the right to process Personal data only for the purposes of providing Hosting services in accordance with this Agreement and any instructions provided by the Seller.

Subcontractors shall be obligated to comply with the principles of data processing and obligations defined in this Agreement. Subcontractors shall be provided with written instructions regarding the processing of personal data by the Data processor, and the Data processor shall be as responsible for the work performed by subcontractors as for the work performed by the Data processor. The Data processor shall provide the Controller with a written notification before the Data processor changes or acquires new subcontractors that participate in the processing of personal data without undue delay. In the event that the Controller does not approve changing or acquiring new subcontractors, the Data processor shall have the right to terminate the Agreement with a notice period of thirty (30) days.

4. Transferring the data outside the EU

Personal data may be transferred outside the European Union or the European Economic Area in accordance with data protection legislation.

The Controller shall have the right to obtain information regarding the location of the processing of personal data from the Data processor at any time.

5. Confidentiality

All personal data processed by the processor of personal data on behalf of the Controller shall be considered confidential, and the processor of personal data agrees that it shall maintain the confidentiality of the data and that it shall not transfer or disclose these data to a third party or use the data for other purposes than the agreed purposes. The processor of personal data also agrees that it shall not transfer or disclose the personal data to other employees or persons within its organisation (including any possible subcontractors) than those for whom the said data is necessary to be disclosed or transferred to for the purpose of fulfilling the agreed purpose or those who are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of the data due to a service or another agreement or legislation. The confidentiality clauses shall remain valid even in the event that the Agreement is terminated.

6. Data security


The Data processor agrees that it shall ensure that it implements all the appropriate technical and organisational measures aimed to prevent the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data.

The measures must be designed with due regard to the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

The Data processor shall grant the Controller the rights necessary for compliance with data protection law to perform audits on the Data processor. Both parties shall bear the costs of inspections for their own part.

7. Measures in the case of a personal data breach
