Data Processing Addendum for Organisers

Last Updated: 21/02/2020 

If you are an Organiser that is subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/EC/879) or “GDPR”), or an equivalent legislation, which includes any amending or replacement legislation (“Applicable Data Protection Laws” then this Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) applies. These include Organisers that due to the judications in which they reside or operate require Tournament Finder to process Personal Data on their behalf as part of the Organiser’s use of the Services.

In this DPA references to “we”, “us”, “our” and “Tournament Finder” means Tournament Finder Limited whereas references to “you” means the Organiser.

NOTE: To learn more about Tournament Finder’s Legal Terms, take a look here.

Overview.

All services agreements between you and us including but not limited to the Tournament Finder Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) incorporate the terms of this DPA. 

Over all other agreements this DPA will take precedence except where the Organiser and Tournament Finder have individually negotiated an agreement that meet the Applicable Data Protection Laws in full, then those negotiated terms will control. 

 

There are few a terms that ascribed meanings in their Applicable Data Protection Laws, including “Data Controller”, “Data Subject”, “Data Processor”, “Processing” and “Personal Data”, these terms will have the same meanings in this document unless otherwise assigned. Additionally, for sake of clarity we you like to highlight and assign the following definitions:


“Data Security Breach” this means a breach the Services security that leads to the accidental or unlawful destruction, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, loss of, or unauthorised access to, Personal Data that is stored, transmitted, or otherwise Processed; and 

“Technical and Organisational Security Measures” means the measures in security that are appropriate for the type of  Personal Data being Processed that Tournament Finder may implement against unauthorised or unlawful Processing as well as against the accidental loss, damage, destruction, alteration or disclosure.  

 

  1. Applicability of DPA and scope of data processing activities.

1.1 for purposes Applicable to Data Protection Laws and when using Tournament Finder the Organiser is the Data Controller of the Personal Data of the Consumers that register for their Tournament. The Organiser agrees to Process the Personal Data of the Consumers registering for their Tournament in accordance with Organiser’s obligations under Applicable Data Protection Laws. 

 


1.2 Where Personal Data of the Consumers is Processed on behalf of the Organiser By the Tournament Finder Services, we are the Data Processor while the Organiser is the Data Controller.  

Tournament Finder may also act as a Data Controller when Processing Consumers Data. This occurs when the Consumer use the Services beyond those that relate directly to the Organiser’s tournament, such as to conduct research to improve our Services.

Section 2 of this DPA will apply when Tournament Finder Processes Personal Data on behalf of the Organiser as a Data Processor. Conversely, Tournament Finder’s Processes is not Subject to this DPA when we are acting as a Data Controller of the Consumers’ Personal data. 



  1. Data processing clauses.

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, Tournament Finder shall inform Organiser of the legal requirement before Processing Personal Data other than in accordance with Organiser’s instructions. If we discover an instruction that in our opinion is in breach of Applicable Data Protection Laws, Tournament Finder will notify Organiser.

Objections of Organiser shall be sent to [email protected] with the subject line ‘Sub-Processor Objection’.

Providing the objection of Organiser includes sufficient detail (failure to provide, in our sole opinion,  sufficient supporting detail will result in the objection being deemed invalid) to support its objection and the objection concerns the ability of Tournament Finder to comply with its data protection obligations under this DPA while using the Replacement Sub-Processor, Tournament Finder will then use what its sole discretion believes is reasonable efforts to review and respond to Organiser’s objection within thirty (30) days of receiving the objection. 

If Tournament Finder it is sole discretion, determines that it cannot reasonably accommodate the objection of Organiser then Tournament Finder will provide notice after which Organiser may choose to terminate the Agreement in writing as outlined in method for termination in the Terms of Service. Should Organiser choose to terminate their contact due to objection to Sub-Processors then the Date of Termination will be the date that Tournament Finder receives the request for termination correspondence. Organiser will owe all outstanding debts and payments that it has incurred up to and including the Date of Termination.
