ANNEX A

DESCRIPTION OF PROCESSING

1. Nature and Purposes of Processing

Teamup provides a cloud-based calendar service aimed at facilitating the collaboration of groups. The service is accessible through a web client, a native client for iOS devices, a native client for Android devices, and an application programming interface.

Teamup is used in a broad range of use cases. Examples are event calendars, reservation of resources, scheduling and dispatching of resources, absence and availability calendars, etc.

Teamup offers features to:

  • enter, update, and delete calendar appointments.
  • view, print, search, and filter calendar appointments in various ways.
  • receive notifications about changes to the calendar and upcoming events. Notifications are delivered by email, Slack notifications, mobile push notifications, and other transports.
  • share calendar appointments with other calendaring applications.
  • export and import calendar data.
  • synchronize calendar data with other calendaring products.

The content of the calendar is determined by the Customer at its sole discretion.

2. Categories of Data Subjects

Teamup collects Personal Data from three categories of Data Subjects:

  • Calendar administrators: Calendar administrators create calendars, configure calendars, determine which other users have access to the calendar, and determine the use case of the calendar. Calendar administrators select the subscription plan and for paid subscriptions arrange the payment using a credit card, bank transfer, or other online payment system.
  • Calendar users: Calendar users are invited by calendar administrators to use the calendars. They receive the necessary credentials to access the calendar from the calendar administrator. Calendar users use the calendar for the use case determined by the calendar administrator.
  • Other users: The calendar may be used to collect Personal Data of users that are not themselves using the calendar.

3. Categories of Data

Teamup in its role as Controller collects the following Personal Data:

  • From calendar administrators if using the free plan: Email address, name (optional), image (optional).
  • From calendar administrators if using a paid plan: Email address, name, address, organization name (optional), credit card details, image (optional).
  • From calendar users: Email address (optional), name (optional), image (optional).

Teamup in its role as Data Processor processes the following data:

  • Any Personal Data that the Customer chooses to enter into the calendar. Teamup has no control over the type, volume, and sensitivity of Personal Data collected by the Customer.

4. Special Category Data

Teamup does not collect or process any Special Category Data in the provision of its service.

Under this DPA, Customer agrees not to provide Special Category Data to Teamup at any time.

5. Duration of Processing

The Personal Data will be processed for the term of the ToS, or as otherwise required by law or
agreed between the parties.

 

 

ANNEX B

TEAMUP SECURITY MEASURES

1. Data Protection

The protection of Customer data is our highest priority. We have built a fully redundant, highly available, secure, and state-of-the-art technical infrastructure to host your data.

Our servers are hosted in data centers operated by Amazon Web Services. Read more.

2. Encryption

Whenever your data is in transit between you and us, everything is encrypted and sent using HTTPS. Data at rest (stored on disk) is encrypted. Any files which you upload to us are stored and encrypted at rest. Our backups of your data are encrypted.

Data in active use in our database is not encrypted. Access to the database is highly restricted to the server administration personnel needed to maintain systems.

3. Redundancy

Our servers operate at full redundancy. This includes power supplies, disks, Internet connections, cooling systems, entire servers, data center buildings, and data centers. All data is stored on multiple redundant disks instantly, replicated to multiple independent data centers, and backed up daily. Our infrastructure is engineered to stay available even if any one component fails.

4. Physical Security

Only authorized personnel have access to the data centers. Round-the-clock onsite security staff as well as interior and exterior surveillance monitoring provide additional protection against unauthorized entry and security breaches.

5. Regularly Updated

Our software infrastructure is updated regularly with the latest security patches.

6. Billing Information

All credit card transactions are processed using secure encryption—the same level of encryption used by leading banks. Credit card information is transmitted directly between customer and our payment provider Stripe. Teamup does not see, collect, or store your credit card details.
