- Each party shall be individually and separately responsible for complying with the obligations that apply to such party under applicable Data Protection Law. The Customer shall be exclusively responsible to ensure its Instructions are compliant with applicable Data Protection Laws and enable a lawful Processing of Customer Data, including by obtaining any required consent and providing any required disclosures under applicable Data Protection Laws.

ANNEX I
DETAILS OF PROCESSING
This Annex includes certain details of the Processing of Customer Data as required under the Data Protection Laws.
ANNEX II
TECHNICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL MEASURES
The following description reviews the technical and organizational measures implemented by Pic-Time as a Processor of Customer Data, to ensure an appropriate level of security, considering the nature, scope, context and purpose of the Processing, and the risks for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
As part of our data protection compliance process, Pic-Time has implemented technical, physical and administrative security measures to protect its Customer Data as explained below.
The security objectives of Pic-Time are identified and managed to maintain a high level of security and consist of the following (concerning all data assets and systems):
- Availability – information and associated assets should be accessible to authorized users when required. The computer network must be resilient. Pic-Time will detect and respond rapidly to incidents (such as viruses and other malware) that threaten the continued availability of assets, systems, and information.
- Confidentiality – ensuring that information is only accessible to those authorized to access it, on a need-to-know-basis.
- Integrity – safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information and processing methods and therefore requires preventing deliberate or accidental, partial or complete, destruction, or unauthorized modification, of electronic data.
System Access Control
Access to Pic-Time’s database is highly restricted in order to ensure that only the relevant personnel who have received prior approval can access the database. Pic-Time has also implemented appropriate safeguards related to remote access and wireless computing capabilities. Employees are assigned private passwords that allow strict access or use to Customer Data, all in accordance with such employee’s position, and solely to the extent such access or use is required. There is constant monitoring of access to the Customer Data and the passwords used to gain access. Pic-Time uses automated tools to identify non-human login attempts and rate-limiting login attempts to minimize the risk of a brute force attack.
Physical Access Control
Pic-Time ensures the protection of the data servers which store the Customer Data from unwanted physical access. Customer Data is stored on Microsoft Azure's servers, AWS servers, and MongoDB’s servers which are located in the EU, the US and Australia. Please see Azure’s security measures HERE, AWS security measures HERE, and MongoDB’s security measures HERE. When the Customer Data is transferred to the applicable servers it is always done in a secure and encrypted manner, encryption by default, at rest and in transit. Pic-Time also secures physical access to its offices by ensuring that only authorized individuals such as employees and authorized external parties (maintenance staff, visitors, etc.) can access Pic-Time's offices by using security locks and an alarm system, amongst other measures as well.
Data Access Control
User authentication measures have been put in place in order to ensure that access to Customer Data is restricted solely to those employees who have been given permission to access it and to ensure that the Customer Data is not accessed, modified, copied, used, transferred or deleted without specific authorization for such actions to be done. Any access to Customer Data, as well as any action performed involving the use of Customer Data requires a password and username, which is routinely changed, as well as blocked when applicable.
Each employee can perform actions solely in accordance with the permissions granted to them by Pic-Time. Each access is logged and monitored, and any unauthorized access is automatically reported.
