Once the Creations are approved by the Customer, any requested changes to the images or the Wiggli Profile that are not due to technical errors by Wiggli (such as sound recording issues) must receive Wiggli's prior approval and may result in extra charges for the Customer. By way of example, any adaptations requested by the Customer concerning the appearance, dress, behaviour and speech of the Individuals interviewed do not constitute technical faults.

If a Creation becomes outdated (e.g., due to an Individual’s role change or departure), the Customer can notify Wiggli of this fact. The outdated Creation can be removed from the Wiggli Platform upon the Customer's request. Producing a new replacement Creation will require an additional video service, for which a cost estimate will be prepared. This will be governed by a separate Order Form.

Data Processing Schedule (DPA)

1. Definitions

Applicable Privacy Laws: any applicable privacy, e-privacy or data protection laws, including without limitation, any European Union legislation relating to Protected Data including the United Kingdom’s Data Protection Act 2018 as amended, the Belgian Data Protection Act as amended, the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”) and as retained in United Kingdom Law (“UK GDPR”) and any other national implementing legislation, and only to the extent applicable to a party, a Data Subject, the Protected Data or the processing and the Services contemplated under the Contract.

For the purposes of this Data Processing Schedule, the following terms: “Controller”, “Data Subject”, “International Organisation”, “Personal Data”, “Personal Data Breach”, “processing”, “Processor” and “Joint-Controller”, shall have the meanings given to them at Article 4 of the GDPR. The following terms shall have the meanings:

  • Protected Data: means Personal Data received from or on behalf of Customer as submitted in the Platform under the Contract in respect of which Wiggli is a Processor; and

  • Sub-Processor: means any agent, subcontractor or other third party (excluding its employees) engaged by Wiggli for carrying out any processing activities on behalf of Customer in respect of the Protected Data.

Any other capitalised terms in this Data Processing Schedule (the “Schedule”) shall have the meanings set out in the relevant contract documents (the “Contract”).

2. Compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws. 

The parties agree that save where expressly stated, Customer is a Controller and Wiggli is a Processor for the purposes of processing Protected Data pursuant to the Contract. Customer shall at all times comply with all Applicable Privacy Laws in connection with the processing of Protected Data. Customer shall ensure all instructions given by it to Wiggli in respect of Protected Data (including the terms of this DPA) shall at all times be in accordance with Applicable Privacy Laws. Customer warrants that it has put in place all applicable notices regarding data processing and the transfer of Protected Data to Wiggli under the Contract, and that where applicable, it has obtained valid consent from the relevant Data Subjects. Nothing in this DPA relieves either party of any responsibilities or liabilities under the Applicable Privacy Laws.

3. Wiggli’s compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws. 

(a) Wiggli as a Processor. 

Wiggli shall process Protected Data in compliance with the obligations placed on it as a Processor under Applicable Privacy Laws and the terms of this DPA. 

(b) Wiggli as a Controller. 

Where Wiggli processes Personal Data of, or provided by, Customer for the purposes of providing Wiggli’s business and services (including for Customer and account management, the provision of support services and any related marketing activities as well as provision of access to the Wiggli staffing marketplace or where Data Subjects create accounts with Wiggli), Wiggli is acting as an independent Controller of such Personal Data which will be processed at all times pursuant to Wiggli’s Privacy Policy (as amended from time to time and as available via the link set out in Part A of this DPA). In such cases, the parties acknowledge and agree that Wiggli and Customer act as independent Controllers in respect of their respective processing of such Personal Data.

4. Instructions. 

Wiggli shall only process (and shall ensure that it’s personnel and Sub-Processors only process) the Protected Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions set out at Part A of this DPA and the terms of this DPA, except to the extent: 

(i) that alternative processing instructions are agreed between the parties in writing; or 

(ii) as otherwise required by applicable law (and Wiggli shall inform Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless applicable law prevents it doing so on important grounds of public interest). If Wiggli believes that any instruction received by it from Customer is likely to infringe the Applicable Privacy Laws it shall be entitled to cease to provide the relevant Services under the Contract until the parties have agreed appropriate, amended instructions which are not infringing. 

5. Security. 

To protect the Protected Data against accidental, unauthorised or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access, Wiggli shall implement and maintain the technical and organisational measures in accordance with Wiggli’s security commitment set out in Part B of this DPA. 

6. Sub-processing. 

(a) Wiggli shall maintain and make available a list of its authorised Sub-Processors which may be updated by Wiggli in its discretion from time to time. The current list of Sub-Processors is set out at Part A of this DPA. Such Sub-processor lists shall include the identities of those Sub-processors and their country of location. Customer may reasonably object to Wiggli’s appointment of new or replacement of a Sub-Processor by notifying Wiggli promptly in writing, and in any case, within ten (10) business days after receipt of Wiggli’s notification. Past this timeframe, Customer shall be deemed to have accepted any such new or replacement Sub-Processors. If Customer wishes to object, it shall provide in its notification to Wiggli the reasonable grounds for the objection, which must relate to compliance with Applicable Privacy Laws. 

(b) In the event Customer reasonably objects to the replacement or use of a new Sub-Processor, as permitted in section 6(a), Wiggli will use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Wiggli Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Wiggli Services to avoid processing of Protected Data by the objected-to replacement or new Sub-Processor. If Wiggli does not, or is unable to make available, such change within a reasonable period of time Customer may terminate the applicable part of the Services which cannot be provided by Wiggli without the use of the objected-to replacement or new Sub-Processor, upon providing no less than thirty (30) business days written notice to Wiggli. Such termination will be for Customer’s convenience and shall not be for breach by Wiggli. Customer’s termination under this Section 6(b) will not relieve Customer of its payment obligations under the Contract. 

(c) Prior to the relevant Sub-Processor carrying out any processing activities in respect of the Protected Data, Wiggli shall ensure that each Sub-Processor is bound by a written contract containing materially similar obligations as those set out under this DPA. Wiggli shall: 

  • (i) remain fully liable to Customer under this DPA for all the acts and omissions of each Sub-Processor as if they were committed by Wiggli (but not to a greater extent than that); and 

  • (ii) ensure that all persons authorised by Wiggli (including Wiggli’s personnel) or any Sub-Processor to process Protected Data are subject to a binding written contractual obligation to keep the Protected Data confidential. 

7. Assistance. 

Wiggli shall (at Customer’s cost) assist Customer in ensuring compliance with Customer’s obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR (and any similar obligations under the Applicable Privacy Laws) taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Wiggli. Wiggli shall (at Customer’s cost) taking into account the nature of the processing, assist Customer (by appropriate technical and organisational measures), insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligations to respond to requests for exercising the Data Subjects’ rights under Chapter III of the GDPR (and any similar obligations under Applicable Privacy Laws) in respect of any Protected Data. 

8. International transfers. 

Wiggli shall not process and/or transfer, or otherwise directly or indirectly disclose, any Protected Data in or to countries outside  the United Kingdom or European Economic Area or to any International Organisation without the prior written authorisation of Customer, unless  Wiggli has implemented one of the safeguards set out in Chapter V (Articles 44-50) of the GDPR (including use of the Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK Addendum where applicable) prior to such processing/transfer where required by Applicable Privacy Laws.

9. Audits and processing. 

Wiggli shall, in accordance with Applicable Privacy Laws, make available to Customer such information that is in its possession or control as is necessary to demonstrate Wiggli’s compliance with the obligations placed on it under this DPA and to demonstrate compliance with the obligations on each party imposed by Article 28 of the GDPR (and under any equivalent Applicable Privacy Laws equivalent to that Article 28), and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, by Customer (or another auditor mandated by Customer) for this purpose (subject to a maximum of one audit request in any 12 month period, and provided that such audit is conducted on reasonable notice, during normal business hours in Belgium,  and results in minimal disruption to Wiggli’s business, except where the audit relates to or follows a Personal Data Breach).  

10. Personal Data Breach. 

Wiggli shall notify Customer without undue delay and in writing on becoming aware of any Personal Data Breach in respect of any Protected Data.  

11. Deletion/Return. 

Upon termination of provision of the services under the Contract relating to the processing of Protected Data due to (i) Customer’s written notice of termination or (ii) the occurrence of an event of automatic termination under the terms and conditions governing the services, whichever is sooner, at Customer’s cost and Customer’s option, Wiggli shall either return all of the Protected Data to Customer or securely dispose of the Protected Data (and thereafter promptly delete all existing copies of it) except to the extent that any applicable law requires Wiggli to store such Protected Data. If Customer does not exercise its return option under this Section 11 within thirty (30) calendar days following termination or expiry of the Agreement for whatever reason, Wiggli shall have no obligation to keep any Protected Data and will proceed to automatic deletion of such Protected Data. The deletion/return requirement shall not apply to Wiggli to the extent that: (a) Wiggli is the Controller of any Personal Data (in such case, such Personal Data shall be retained in accordance with Wiggli’s Privacy Policy); (b) any Protected Data  has been anonymised   or aggregated so that Data Subjects or Customer cannot be personally and individually identified (“Aggregated Data”). Such Aggregated Data is not Personal Data for the purposes of Applicable Privacy  Laws and Customer expressly acknowledges that Wiggli may process such Aggregated Data as it sees fit, including for its own business and product improvement.  

12. Liability.  

When acting as separate Controllers (or where the parties are deemed to be Joint Controllers) of any Protected Data or any Personal Data hereunder, each party shall only be liable for its own breach of the Applicable Privacy Laws or of this DPA and shall not be jointly and/or severally liable with the other party for the other party’s breach. Accordingly, each party (“Party A”) agrees to hold harmless and to indemnify the other party (“Party B”) for any losses incurred by Party B due to the breach of the Applicable Privacy Laws by Party A arising out of or in connection with a party’s processing activity of Personal Data or Protected Data.  In all cases, whether acting as Processor, Controller or Joint Controller, Wiggli’s liability arising out of or in connection with this DPA and Applicable Privacy Laws shall not exceed the cap on its liability as set forth in the General Terms and Conditions.
