5. International Data Transfer Policies

5.1 Data Processing Location:

Calilio confirms that all Personal Data processing under the DPA will occur within Calilio’s primary country of operation and in the specified locations listed in the Sub-Processor section.

Data transfer may extend beyond the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, and Switzerland to countries where data protection regulations differ. Calilio acknowledges that certain international locations, referred to as “Locations Subject to Appropriate Safeguards”, may not meet European Data Protection Law standards. In these cases, Calilio commits to implementing mandatory measures to ensure full compliance before transferring any personal data.

5.2 EU Standard Contractual Clauses

For personal data transfer from customers governed by EU GDPR or Swiss FADP, Calilio applies the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for Data Transfers to Third Countries. This ensures that the data protection standards remain the same, even if Calilio operates under different regional data protection frameworks.

The applicable modules for transfers under the EU Standard Contractual Clauses include:

Module One (Controller to Controller): Applicable to customers handling account usage data.
Module Two (Controller to Processor): This applies when the customer acts as the controller of their content.
Module Three (Processor to Processor): This applies when the customer processes their content as a processor.
Module Four (Processor to Controller): Applicable when the customer processes usage data as a processor.

Each relevant Module includes specific clauses to ensure data protection:

Clause 7 (Ducking Clause): Allows additional parties to join the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
Clause 9 (Sub-processor Changes): 10-business-day notice for sub-processor changes.
Clause 11 (Redress): Optional languages on data subject redress are excluded.
Clause 12 (Liability): No cap on liability for data subject rights.
Clause 17 (Governing Law): Governed by Singaporean Law.
Clause 18(b): The dispute will be resolved in Singapore courts.

The SCCs include several annexes where detailed information about the data transfer, security, measures, and sub-processors is provided:

Annex I, Part A: Contact information from the data exporter (Customer) and the data importer (Calilio), with Calilio’s contact as legal@calilio.com.
Annex I, Part B: Details the type of the data subjects involved (employees and users), purposes of the data transfer, and retention periods. It specifies why the data is collected, to whom it pertains, and how long it will be kept.
Annex I, Part C: Identifies the Singapore Data Protection Commission as the “Competent Supervisory Authority” to oversee Calilio’s compliance.
Annex II: Calilio employs to protect data, including encryption, access control, voice security, and other regular security audits, as discussed in Section B of the Agreement.
Annex III: List authorized sub-processors (third parties Calilio engages for data processing), as specified in the DPA.

5.3 UK Data Transfer

Here, we will explain how the UK International Data Transfer Addendum applies when personal details are transferred from a Customer subject to the UK GDPR to Calilio, which operates in a region with adequate safeguards but not governed by the UK GDPR.

In accordance with Clause 17 of the information, both the Customer and Calilio have agreed to adjust the format of part 1 as follows:

Party information in Table 1 of the UK Data Transfer Addendum is considered and is completely based on the details referenced in the Agreement, including Section 5.2 of this DPA.
For Table 2, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum is attached to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for Data Transfers as outlined in Section 5.2 of this Data Processing Agreement.
The information in Table 3 is regarded as complete, as shown by the data referenced in Section 5.2 of this DPA.
Either the data importer or data exporter may terminate this agreement, as set out in Clause 19, which provides an option for either party to initiate termination.

5.4 Singapore Data Transfer

5.5 Australian Data Transfers

Section 5.1 may include locations outside Australia where data protection measures do not meet the requirements of Australian Data Protection Laws. Accordingly, Calilio and its partners are restricted from transferring personal information governed by these laws outside Australia unless they reasonably assure that the recipient complies with a legal framework offering protections comparable to the Australian Privacy Principles.

5.6 US Data Transfers

Calilio is fully committed to adhering to US State Privacy Laws, including key legislations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, and Utah Consumer Privacy Act. We prioritize the safeguarding of personal data in every process.

Under the CCPA, Calilio regards “personal information” as defined by the law. Here’s how we ensure compliance:

Purpose-Limited Data Processing: Calilio processes personal information strictly for business purposes specified within the service agreement. We do not use customer data for any unrelated commercial activities.
Privacy Standards Maintenance: As a service provider, Calilio upholds the privacy standards mandated by the CCPA, delivering robust protection aligned with regulatory expectations.
Transparency and Assurance: Our customers can trust that Calilio handles personal information in line with their privacy responsibilities. Should we encounter challenges in maintaining these standards, we promptly inform our customers.

Sub-processor Compliance: Calilio verifies that any engaged sub-processors adhere to CCPA requirements, maintaining stringent standards throughout our data management ecosystem.
Data Integration Limits: We do not merge Customer Content with other personal information unless it is essential for permitted business purposes, as outlined by the CCPA.

5.7 Governing Law

Calilio aligns its data practices with all relevant data protection laws and acknowledges that these laws may have mandatory precedence. This Data Processing Addendum (DPA) will be governed and interpreted according to the governing law outlined in the main service agreement. Both parties agree to recognize the jurisdiction specified in the Agreement for any claims or issues arising under this DPA.

5.8 Conflict Resolution

If any inconsistencies arise between the terms of this DPA and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for Data Transfers to Third Countries, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses will prevail. For any disputes regarding the interpretation, execution, or termination of this DPA, Calilio and its customers commit to good-faith negotiations. Should a settlement not be reached within 30 days of receiving a dispute notification, the matter will be escalated to the appropriate court with jurisdiction, as specified in the Agreement.

6. Notification of Data Breach

If a personal data breach occurs, Calilio will actively support the Customer in meeting their responsibilities under Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR and Article 24 of the FADP, adapting our assistance to the processing context and available data insights.

Calilio will instantly inform the Customer of any identified Data Breach. If European Data Protection Laws apply, we commit to notifying the Customer within 24 hours of detection. Our team is prepared to provide full cooperation, sharing all pertinent details and support to ensure a transparent response.

The Customer, in turn, agrees to offer Calilio the necessary cooperation and relevant information about the breach, facilitating our compliance with Data Protection Laws and supporting an effective breach response process. This collaboration allows both parties to navigate data breach obligations efficiently and clearly.

7. Updates
