(a) clause 6.5 (Provision of Personal Data) describes the Buyer’s general obligations where it provides us with Buyer Personal Data (including where such data is provided by a third party such as the Buyer’s advertising client and/or nominated data provider or agency) and clauses 6.7 to 6.9 (Buyer Bring Your Own Data) describe how Buyer Personal Data are used in respect of data matching and agreed purposes (which may include modelling audiences, insights, targeting or negatively targeting audiences or users and/or advertising effectiveness) as part of the Services;
(b) where we act as a controller of Buyer Personal Data pursuant to clause 6.9, clause 6.10 (Data sharing arrangements) describes each party’s obligations with respect to those data;
(c) clause 6.11 (Buyer Data Sharing with Amobee) describes the Buyer’s option through the Platform to access other advertising platforms provided by Amobee Inc and/or its group companies;
(d) clauses 6.12 to 6.14 (Our Processing of Buyer Personal Data) describe the data processing particulars and each party’s obligations to the extent we process any Buyer Personal Data as processor in connection with the provision of the Platform and/or the Services; and
(e) clause 6.15 (Cookies and Tracking Technologies) describes the restrictions on the use of cookies and tracking technology by Buyer in connection with the Platform and/or the Services.
6.2 The parties agree to comply with Data Protection Laws.
6.3 The parties agree that we are the controller in respect of any Platform Personal Data. Buyer shall not access or attempt to access any Platform Personal Data or other Platform Data without our prior written consent
6.4 The Data Protection Officer for any of our group companies’ data processing activities can be contacted by email at privacy@tapl.tv.
Provision of Personal Data
6.5 Where a Buyer provides us with Buyer Personal Data, the following will apply unless expressly agreed otherwise:
(a) the Buyer will provide details of its key contact(s) responsible for data processing activities on request (which may include when uploading data);
(b) the Buyer agrees to implement such security measures and/or processes (which may include use of SFTP, encryption and/or hashing) as specified by us prior to transferring the Buyer Personal Data to us;
(c) the Buyer shall not provide any personal data relating to persons under 16 years of age or any special category personal data;
(d) the Buyer is responsible for ensuring that the Buyer Personal Data remains up to date during the period that it is held by us and, for any periods of activity which are over a month in duration, the Buyer will review and, if applicable, provide any updates to the Buyer Personal Data on at least a monthly basis. Where those data are being used for Buyer Peformance Data, we shall revise the matching to generate an updated set of Buyer Peformance Data which shall supersede the previous Buyer Peformance Data; and
(e) the Buyer will confirm to us whether it is relying on legitimate interests or consent or other lawful basis as the lawful basis for providing the Buyer Personal Data to us and (as between the parties) will be responsible for ensuring that it is lawfully able to share those Buyer Personal Data with us (whether via the Platform or otherwise) for the purposes contemplated in these Terms (including that data subjects included in the Buyer Personal Data have been provided with notices which cover the nature of the processing in relation to the Platform and/or the Services).
Bring Your Own Data
6.6 The Buyer may provide us with Buyer Personal Data for the purposes of enabling us to data match that Buyer Personal Data against Platform Personal Data and/or Publisher Personal Data (as applicable) as part of the Services, in order to generate a matched subset of the Platform Personal Data and/or the Publisher Personal Data (as applicable) which may also include targeting segments or other information provided by the Buyer (such subset to be the Buyer Performance Data) for the purposes of creating lookalike or other modelled audiences; for providing insights on Buyer’s customers; for targeting or avoidance of targeting advertising to specific End Users or audiences; and/or for advertising effectiveness purposes (in each case as selected by the Buyer in the Platform and/or approved by the Buyer in advance). Minimum criteria may apply and not all of these services will be available for all campaigns.
6.7 Without affecting clause 6.6, where the Buyer directly or indirectly provides us with Buyer Personal Data, the Buyer (or, where applicable, its client(s) or nominated third party data provider or agency) will remain the controller of the Buyer Personal Data and we will be a processor of the Buyer Personal Data and clauses 6.12 and 6.13 will apply accordingly. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ensure that the Buyer Personal Data is kept up to date. If the Buyer has provisioned Buyer Personal Data directly into the Platform or via the Amobee Platform, the Buyer Personal Data shall be deactivated and no longer available for campaigns in the Platform sixty (60) days after the last refresh by the Buyer of such data. We will deactivate the Buyer Personal Data but it is Buyer’s responsibility to ensure full deletion of any Buyer Personal Data when it is no longer needed and the Buyer will follow our instructions on how to manage this. For any other data provisioning mechanics (including via third party data matching services such as Infosum), the Buyer will comply with our directions on data provisioning and refreshes. For third party data matching mechanics, the Buyer may need to enter into a separate data processing agreement with the match provider and we will not be responsible for that relationship or for any processing done by that third party prior to the data match. Where a third party match provider is used, we will only have access to the resulting Buyer Performance Data and the matching will be based on the permissions set by the Buyer – it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the permissions set with the third party data provider reflect the agreed purposes.
6.8 Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Buyer Personal Data forms part of the Buyer Performance Data, the Buyer and either we or the Publisher will be independent controllers of that Buyer Personal Data in respect of the use of the resulting Buyer Performance Data for the agreed purposes (depending on whether the match was against the Platform Personal Data or Publisher Personal Data). The data matching processing and use of the Buyer Performance Data shall continue while the Buyer is available and actively maintained by the Buyer in accordance with clause 6.7. It will not apply to Buyer Personal Data which has not been refreshed in accordance with our instructions and/or which has been deactivated. If the Buyer Personal Data is not available due to any action or inaction of the Buyer (including any failure to refresh Buyer Personal Data) then we and/or the Publisher will be entitled to charge any fees for such campaign in full.
Data sharing arrangements
6.9 Where we act as a controller of Buyer Personal Data pursuant to clause 6.8, the following will apply with respect to the Buyer Personal Data (as applicable) that we control unless expressly agreed otherwise:
a) each part shall:
(i) comply with Data Protection Laws in respect of its own processing including without limitation ensuring that it has 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 and not transferring any Buyer Personal Data (as applicable) outside the European Economic Area unless it ensures that there are Appropriate Safeguards in place;(ii) be responsible for compliance with the rights of data subjects and have in place procedures for dealing with data subject access requests, complaints or queries and shall (where reasonably practicable) consult with the other party about data subject access requests in relation to the Buyer Personal Data (as applicable); and
(iii) provide the other party with reasonable assistance in complying with any data subject access request and/or regulatory codes of practice and in providing information in respect of compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Laws (by way of example in relation to data protection impact assessments and/or regulatory requests for information); and
b) if either party receives a data subject access request in relation to the Buyer Personal Data, that party will be responsible for ensuring that the data subject can easily access their personal data that is contained in the Buyer Personal Data.
Buyer Data Sharing with Amobee
6.10 Buyer may also have the optional ability through the Platform to access other advertising platforms provided by Amobee Inc and/or its group companies (“Amobee”), including through a single sign-on process. Such access may be subject to additional checks and requirements mandated by Amobee (such as credit checks and signing up to Amobee’s terms and conditions). The Buyer may (at its option) use functionality in the Platform to grant access to Buyer Personal Data to Amobee to process such data in connection with campaigns on those other platforms outside the Platform. Such use will be subject to separate terms between Amobee and the Buyer and we take no responsibility for use of Buyer Personal Data outside the campaigns run on the Platform and Amobee is not acting as our data processor in relation to such use.

Should the Buyer have any objections to such changes, it must inform us within two weeks and the parties will reasonably discuss the same. It is acknowledged by Buyer that in the event of objection we may still appoint such processor but shall not engage them on Services provided to the Buyer;
(e) if we engage another processor, we shall ensure that substantially the same data protection obligations as set out in the Terms shall be imposed on that other processor by way of a written contract, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of Data Protection Laws. We shall remain fully liable to the Buyer for the performance by such other processor of such obligations;
