·Salesforce, Inc. and its affiliates are committed to achieving and maintaining customer trust. Integral to this mission is providing a robust security and privacy program that carefully considers data protection matters.
·In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and, as applicable, the Swiss Data Protection Laws and Regulations, the Salesforce Processor BCR (as defined below) is intended to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data during international transfers within the Salesforce Group made on behalf of Customers and under their instructions. 1
11 For clarity, a Customer (as defined in Section 2) may be a Controller or a Processor of Personal Data. Where a Customer is a Processor of Personal Data, the Salesforce Group shall process Personal Data as Sub-processors on behalf of the Controller. Instructions from the Controller regarding the processing Personal Data shall be given through the Processor.
·The purpose of the Salesforce Processor BCR is to govern international transfers of Personal Data to and between members of the Salesforce Group, and to third-party Sub-processors (in accordance with written agreements with any such third-party Sub-processors) when acting as Processors and/or Sub-processors on behalf and under the documented instructions of Customers.
·The Salesforce Processor BCR applies to Personal Data submitted to the Services by:
·The Salesforce Group may update the Salesforce Processor BCR with approval from the Salesforce Group's appointed privacy leader, general counsel and compliance officer. All changes to the Salesforce Processor BCR shall be communicated to members of the Salesforce Group.
·The Salesforce Group's appointed privacy leader shall be responsible for keeping a fully updated list of the members of the Salesforce Group and third-party Sub-processors and making appropriate notifications to Customers and the French data protection authority ("CNIL") in its capacity as competent Supervisory Authority for the Salesforce Processor BCR. The Salesforce Group shall not transfer Personal Data to a new member of the Salesforce Group until such member is appropriately bound by and complies with the Salesforce Processor BCR.
·The Salesforce Group shall make the most current version of the Salesforce Processor BCR, including the members of the Salesforce Group, available here. Significant changes to the Salesforce Processor BCR and/or the list of members of the Salesforce Group will be reported (a) in a timely fashion to Customers and (b) once per year to the relevant Supervisory Authorities via the CNIL in its capacity as competent Supervisory Authority for the Salesforce Processor BCR accompanied by a brief explanation of the changes.
·When the changes to the Salesforce Processor BCR affect the processing conditions, the Salesforce Group shall inform the Customer in such a timely fashion that Customer has the possibility to object to the change or to terminate the contract before the modification is made.
·The categories of Personal Data, the types of processing and its purposes, the types of Data Subjects affected and the identification of the recipients in the third countries are set out in Section 5 below.
·It shall be the responsibility of a Customer to apply the Salesforce Processor BCR to:
·The Salesforce Group and its employees shall comply with the Salesforce Processor BCR, process Personal Data only upon a Customer's documented instruction and shall have a duty to respect Customer's instructions regarding the data processing and the security and confidentiality of Personal Data, pursuant to the measures provided in the contracts executed with Customers.
·The Salesforce Group shall immediately inform the Customer if in its opinion an instruction infringes the GDPR or other EU or EU member state law or, as applicable, Swiss data protection provisions.
·The Salesforce Group undertakes to be transparent regarding its Personal Data processing activities and to provide Customers with reasonable cooperation and assistance within a reasonable period of time to help facilitate their respective data protection obligations regarding Personal Data, to the extent Customer, in its use of the Services, does not have the reasonable ability to address such obligations.
·Members of the Salesforce Group act as Processors on behalf of Customers. As between the Salesforce Group and Customers, Customers have the primary responsibility for interacting with Data Subjects, and the role of the Salesforce Group is generally limited to assisting Customers as needed.
·The Salesforce Group shall promptly notify Customer if the Salesforce Group receives a request from a Data Subject to exercise the Data Subject's right of access, right to rectification, restriction of processing, erasure ("right to be forgotten"), data portability, object to the processing, or its right not to be subject to an automated individual decision making ("Data Subject Request"). Taking into account the nature of the processing, the Salesforce Group shall assist Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Customer's obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under the GDPR or, as applicable, an equivalent obligation under Swiss Data Protection Laws and Regulations. In addition, to the extent Customer, in its use of the Services, does not have the ability to address a Data Subject Request, the Salesforce Group shall upon Customer's request provide commercially reasonable efforts to assist Customer in responding to such Data Subject Request, to the
·extent the response to such Data Subject Request is required under the GDPR or, as applicable, an equivalent obligation under Swiss Data Protection Laws and Regulations. To the extent legally permitted, Customer shall be responsible for any costs arising from the Salesforce Group's provision of such assistance.
·The Salesforce Group's Privacy department shall be responsible for handling complaints related to compliance with the Salesforce Processor BCR.
·Data Subjects may lodge a complaint about processing of their respective Personal Data that is incompatible with the Salesforce Processor BCR by contacting the relevant Customer or the Salesforce Group's Privacy department at the email address privacy@salesforce.com. The Salesforce Group shall without undue delay communicate the complaint to the Customer to whom the Personal Data relates without obligation to handle it (except if it has been agreed otherwise with Customer).
·Customers shall be responsible for responding to all Data Subject complaints forwarded by the Salesforce Group except in cases where a Customer has disappeared factually or has ceased to exist in law or become insolvent. Where the Salesforce Group is aware of such a case, it undertakes to respond directly to Data Subjects' complaints within one (1) month, including the consequences of the complaint and further actions Data Subjects may take if they are unsatisfied by the reply (such as lodging a complaint before the relevant Supervisory Authority). Taking into account the complexity and number of requests, this period of one (1) month can be extended by two (2) further months in which case the Salesforce Group will inform the Data Subjects accordingly.
·The Salesforce Group shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify a Customer if the Salesforce Group receives an inquiry or complaint from a Supervisory Authority in which that Customer is specifically named. Upon a Customer's request, the Salesforce Group shall provide the Customer with cooperation and assistance in a reasonable period of time and to the extent reasonably possible in relation to any regulatory inquiry or complaint involving the Salesforce Group's processing of Personal Data.
·Upon Customer's request, the Salesforce Group shall provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance needed to fulfil Customer's obligation under the GDPR (or, as applicable, under the Swiss Data Protection Laws and Regulations) to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to Customer's use of the Services, to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to the Salesforce Group. The Salesforce Group shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer in the cooperation or prior consultation with the Supervisory Authority in the performance of its tasks relating to this Section 4 E. of the Salesforce Processor BCR to the extent required under the GDPR (or, as applicable, under the Swiss Data Protection Laws and Regulations).
·As required by data protection laws and regulations, the Salesforce Group shall maintain a record of all categories of processing activities carried out on behalf of each Customer.
·The Salesforce Group shall only process Personal Data on behalf of and in accordance with Customer's documented instructions for the following purposes: (i) processing in accordance with a Customer's instructions set forth in the Customer's contract with a member of the Salesforce Group including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country (unless the Salesforce Group is legally required to do so by EU or EU member state law, or, as applicable, Swiss law, in which case prior information will be provided by the Salesforce Group to Customer unless such information is legally prohibited); and (ii) processing initiated by the Customer in its use of the Services. If the Salesforce Group cannot comply with such purpose limitation, a member of the Salesforce Group shall promptly notify the relevant Customer, and such Customer shall be entitled to suspend the transfer of Personal Data and/or terminate the applicable order form(s) in respect to only those Services which cannot be provided by the Salesforce Group in accordance with such Customer's instructions. On the termination of the provision of such Services, the Salesforce Group and third-party Sub-processors shall, at the choice of the Customer, return the Personal Data to the Customer and/or delete the Personal Data as set forth in the applicable customer contract and upon request from Customer, the Salesforce Group shall certify that it has done so. The only exception to this is if the law applicable to the Salesforce Group and its third-party Sub-processors requires the Salesforce Group and its third-party Sub-processors to retain the data that has been transferred in which case the Salesforce Group will inform the Customer and warrant that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the Personal Data transferred and will not actively process the Personal Data transferred anymore.
·The Salesforce Processor BCR will apply to Personal Data submitted by Customers to the Services. The Salesforce Group's Customers determine what Personal Data, if any, is submitted to the Services under the conditions set out in the contract.
·The following types of Personal Data are oftentimes submitted to the Services. First and last name Title Position Employer
·These types of Personal Data oftentimes relate to the following categories of data subjects:
·Customers are allowed to submit sensitive personal data or special categories of Personal Data to some Services under the conditions set out in the contract.
·The Salesforce Group does not choose or determine the categories of Data Subjects that relate to the Personal Data submitted to the Services. The Salesforce Group's Customers solely determine the Data Subjects whose Personal Data is submitted to the Services.
·The countries where the Salesforce affiliate Sub-processors of Personal Data are located are listed in the Infrastructure and Sub-processor documentation for each Service covered by the Salesforce Processor BCR, available here.
·Customers have access to, and control of, Personal Data in their use of the Services. To the extent a Customer, in its use of the Services, does not have the ability to anonymize, correct, amend, update or delete Personal Data, as required by applicable laws, the Salesforce Group shall comply with any request by a Customer in a reasonable period of time and to the extent reasonably possible to facilitate such actions by executing any measures necessary to comply with the law, in a reasonable period of time and to the extent reasonably possible to the extent the Salesforce Group is legally permitted to do so. The Salesforce Group will, to the extent reasonably required for this purpose, inform each member of the Salesforce Group to whom the Personal Data may be stored of any anonymization, rectification, amendment, update or deletion of such data. If any such anonymization, correction, amendment, update or deletion request is applicable to a third-party Sub-processor's processing of Personal Data, the Salesforce Group shall communicate such request to the applicable third-party Sub-processor(s).
·As set forth in applicable contracts with Customers, members of the Salesforce Group may be retained as Sub-processors of Personal Data, and depending on the location of the Salesforce Group member, processing of Personal Data by such Sub-processors may involve transfers of Personal Data. The Salesforce Processor BCR extends to all members of the Salesforce Group. The Salesforce Processor BCR is incorporated by reference into the Salesforce Group's code of conduct which is available here.
·As set forth in applicable contracts with Customers, members of the Salesforce Group may retain third-party Sub-processors, and depending on the location of the third-party Sub-processor, processing of Personal Data by such Sub-processors may involve transfers of Personal Data. Such third-party Sub-processors shall process Personal Data only: (i) in accordance with the Customer's instructions set forth in the Customer's contract with a member of the Salesforce Group; or (ii) if processing is initiated by the Customer in its use of the Services. The current list of third-party Sub-processors engaged in processing Personal Data, including a description of their processing activities, is available in the Infrastructure and Sub-processor documentation for each Service covered by the Salesforce Processor
·BCR, available here. Such third-party Sub-processors have entered into written agreements with a member of the Salesforce Group in accordance with the applicable requirements of Articles 28, 29, 32, 45, 46 and 47 of the GDPR, or, as applicable, corresponding provisions of the Swiss Data Protection Laws and Regulations, as well as the relevant sections of the Salesforce Processor BCR as applicable to the third-party Sub-processor's processing activities.
·As set forth in applicable contracts with Customers, the Salesforce Group shall provide Customers with prior notification before a new Sub-processor begins processing Personal Data. Within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice, a Customer may object to Salesforce Group's use of a new Sub-processor by notifying the Salesforce Group in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Customer's contract. In the event Customer objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentence, the Salesforce Group will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer's configuration or use of the Services to avoid processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Customer. If the Salesforce Group is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed sixty (60) days, Customer may terminate the applicable order form(s) with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by the Salesforce Group without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor by providing written notice to the Salesforce Group. The Salesforce Group will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of such order form(s) following the effective date of termination with respect to such terminated Services, without imposing a penalty for such termination on Customer.
·The Salesforce Group shall ensure that its personnel engaged in the processing of Personal Data are informed of the confidential nature of the Personal Data, have executed written confidentiality agreements and have received appropriate training on their responsibilities. Additionally, the Salesforce Group shall ensure that its personnel responsible for the development of the tools used to process Personal Data have received appropriate training on their responsibilities. The Salesforce Group shall also ensure that its personnel engaged in the processing of Personal Data are limited to those personnel who require such access to perform the Salesforce Group's obligations under applicable contracts with Customers.
·The Salesforce Group shall maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical measures for protection of the security (including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data), confidentiality and integrity of Personal Data, as set forth in applicable contracts with Customers. The Salesforce Group shall implement technical and organizational measures which at least meet the requirements of the GDPR or, as applicable, Swiss Data Protection Laws and Regulations and any existing particular measure specified in the contract with the Customer. The Salesforce Group regularly monitors compliance with these measures. The Salesforce Group will not materially decrease the overall security of the Services during a Customer's applicable subscription term.
·In the event a member of the Salesforce Group becomes aware of the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data, transmitted, stored or otherwise processed by the Salesforce Group or its Sub-processors (a "Personal Data Incident") the Salesforce Group will without undue delay after becoming aware notify affected Customers. The Salesforce Group shall make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of such Personal Data Incident and take those steps as the Salesforce Group deems necessary and reasonable in order to remediate the cause of such a Personal Data Incident to the extent the remediation is within the Salesforce Group's reasonable control. The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents that are caused by Customer or Customer's users.
