We do not monitor Your Data posted or provided as part of the Service. You are solely responsible for all the data you enter or upload using the Service (“Your Data”), and any intellectual property rights in Your Data will be owned by you. We will comply with our Privacy Policy in relation to use of Your Data and will follow our archiving procedures for Your Data.

In the event of any loss or damage to Your Data, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be for us to use reasonable commercial endeavours to restore the lost or damaged data from the latest back-up under our archiving procedure.

It is your responsibility to either export and/or copy Your Data prior to the expiry or termination date, or request a copy from us within 12 months days of such date.

Data Protection

If Your Data includes any personal data (as that term is defined in the Data Protection Legislation), then you acknowledge that we shall be deemed the data processor and you are the data controller in respect of any such personal data (where “controller”, “processor” and “personal data” have the meanings as defined in Data Protection Legislation).

We shall comply with our, and you shall comply with your, respective obligations under the Data Protection Legislation (where “Data Protection Legislation” means (i) unless and until it is no longer directly applicable in the UK, the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) and any national implementing laws, regulations and secondary legislation, as amended or updated from time to time, in the UK; and (ii) any successor legislation to the GDPR or the Data Protection Act 1998 from time to time in force in the UK. This section is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, your or our obligations under Data Protection Legislation.

The scope, nature and purpose of processing by us is the provision of our Service. The type of personal data will be set out in any data you upload using the Service and the categories of data subjects are any individuals that may be referred to within such data. The duration of the processing is that of our retention period, which is a maximum of 12 months from expiry or termination of your Account.

You must ensure that you have all necessary consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of any personal data to us for the duration and purposes of this Contract.

We shall, in relation to any personal data processed in connection with the performance by us of our obligations under this Contract:

• process the personal data only on your written instructions (unless otherwise required by applicable law);
• maintain records of any processing of personal data that we carry out on your behalf;
• ensure that we have in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data;
• ensure that all personnel who have access to and/or process personal data are obliged to keep the personal data confidential;
• assist you, at your cost, in responding to any request from a data subject and in ensuring compliance with your obligations under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators;
• notify you without undue delay on becoming aware of a personal data breach; and
• at your written direction, delete or return personal data and copies thereof to you on termination of this Contract (unless required by applicable law(s) to store the personal data).

You consent to us appointing third-party processors of personal data who assist with web-hosting under this Contract.

We confirm that we have entered, or will enter (as the case may be), a written agreement with any such third-party processor incorporating terms which are substantially similar to those set out in this section.

You warrant that:

• you are not aware of any circumstances likely to give rise to breach of the Data Protection Legislation (including any personal data breach);
• you have a lawful basis under the Data Protection Legislation to transfer the personal data to us for processing under this Contract and such use will comply with all Data Protection Legislation;
• you will promptly notify us of any action we must take to assist you with ensuring compliance with your obligations under Data Protection Legislation, including with request to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators; and
• the personal data is necessary, adequate, relevant, accurate and up-to-date and you will notify us promptly of any changes to the personal data.
