2. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

2.1 Each of Expedia and the Company acknowledge that for the purpose of Applicable Data Protection Law, each party is an autonomous and independent controller.

3. GENERAL MUTUAL OBLIGATIONS

3.1 Each Party will:

1. comply with all Applicable Data Protection Laws applicable to controllers when processing such Relevant Personal Data;
2. ensure that it has an appropriate lawful basis under Applicable Data Protection Laws for its processing of Relevant Personal Data, including for the sharing of Relevant Personal Data to the other Party for use by that Party as an independent and autonomous controller for a Permitted Purpose in accordance with this Agreement;
3. implement and maintain all appropriate technical and organizational measures and safeguards to protect Relevant Personal Data they each process from and against a personal data breach, taking into account the risks represented by the processing and the nature of the Relevant Personal Data;
4. not share, distribute, sell or otherwise permit access to Relevant Personal Data with any third party save for any data sharing that is necessary to fulfil a Permitted Purpose or as otherwise agreed between the Parties in the Agreement.

3.2 Transparency and disclosures. Each party will ensure that all End Customers are made aware in a timely manner, via its privacy policy and/or by any other appropriate means, that their personal data will be shared with the other party for the Permitted Purposes (or such category of parties in general terms, if permitted under Applicable Data Protection Law); and direct Customers to the other party’s privacy policy (specifically or generally) for more information about their handling of their personal data.

3.3 Naming the other Party. Neither Party will name the other in any public statement or disclosure to an individual or to a supervisory authority or other legal body relating to privacy without obtaining prior written approval from the other, unless legally prohibited from liaising with the other party.

3.4 Cross-border data transfers.       
The Parties agree and acknowledge that in this clause 3.4, wherever the word ‘transfer’ is used, it includes access being provided by one controller/processor to another controller/processor and:

1. General: neither Party will (and shall not permit any other party to) transfer Relevant Personal Data outside the territory of origination unless that Party takes any required compliance measures to enable such transfer legally in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Law.
2. Asia-Pacific Region and CBPR: 

   1. The Parties agree and acknowledge that:

      1. a CBPR Party is bound by a legally enforceable set of obligations to provide comparable protection to Applicable Data Protection Laws; and
      2. Expedia is a CBPR Party.

      Where the Company is also a CBPR Party, the provisions of this paragraph (b) will be construed to apply two-way.

   2. Subject to paragraph (iii) below, the Parties agree that where:

      1. Relevant Personal Data is being transferred from one CBPR Country to another CBPR Country; and
      2. the data importer is a CBPR Party, 

      then, to the extent that and for so long as the CBPR System is a recognized method of transfer by a relevant supervisory authority, the CBPR System shall be the agreed mechanism for cross-border transfers of Relevant Personal Data to such CBPR Party.

   3. The CBPR System will only apply for transfers that involve at least one of the Parties being located in an Asia-Pacific Region country that is also a CBPR Country.

   4. Expedia confirms that it will provide at least the same level of protection for the Relevant Personal Data as is required under the CBPR System; and it will promptly notify the other Party if it makes a determination that it can no longer provide this level of protection. In such event, or if the other Party otherwise reasonably believes that Expedia is not protecting the Relevant Personal Data to the standard required under the CBPR System, the other Party may either:

      1. instruct Expedia to take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate any unauthorized processing, in which event the Parties will promptly cooperate in good faith to identify, agree and implement such steps;
      2. agree on an alternate safeguard that may apply to the processing under Applicable Data Protection Law; or
      3. if (A) and (B) fail to resolve the issue, terminate this C2C Agreement and the Agreement (or, at the other Party’s election, any affected portion thereof) without penalty by giving notice to Expedia.

      If the other Party also holds a current CBPR System certification, then the above provisions will be deemed to apply as if the obligations are two-way.

3. DPF: The Parties agree that in respect of transfers of Restricted Transfer Data between the Parties to the United States or to a country which has not been deemed "adequate" under the Applicable Data Protection Laws of the originating Restricted Transfer Country:
   1. to the extent that and for so long as the DPF is a recognized method of transfer by a relevant authority, the DPF shall be the agreed mechanism for cross-border transfers of data originating from a Restricted Transfer Country to Expedia in the United States; and
   2. to the extent that and for so long as the DPF is not a valid method of transfer (including for transfers of Restricted Transfer Data to a country which has not been deemed "adequate" under the Applicable Data Protection Law of the originating Restricted Transfer Country), the SCCs shall apply to such transfers and we will enter into them on the basis set out in paragraph (h) below. Where Company also holds a current DPF certification, transfers of Restricted Transfer Data to Company can similarly be made under the DPF with SCCs as a fallback mechanism as set out in this paragraph and all relevant paragraphs on the DPF will be construed to apply two-way.
4. With regards to the DPF, Expedia agrees that it will provide the same level of protection as required by the DPF. If Company reasonably believes we are not protecting the Restricted Transfer Data to the standard required by the DPF, Expedia may either:
   1. rely on the SCCs as set out in paragraph (h) below;
   2. if SCCs are not a viable or appropriate solution, propose to Company reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate any unauthorized processing, which we will in good faith implement using commercially reasonable efforts; or
   3. if the fallbacks in paragraphs (i) or (ii) above are not viable, terminate this C2C Agreement and the Agreement without penalty.
5. If Company is certified under the DPF, Company will comply with the Notice and Choice Principles of the DPF (as defined in the EU-US DPF). For the avoidance of doubt, if Company is not DPF-certified or accessing or receiving the Restricted Transfer Data in a country deemed ‘adequate’ by the European Commission, then the SCCs will be relied on for transfers of Restricted Transfer Data from Expedia to Company.
6. The Parties agree that they may each disclose this C2C Agreement and any relevant privacy provisions in the Agreement to the US Department of Commerce, the Federal Trade Commission, any European data protection authority, or any other US or EU judicial or regulatory body upon their request and that any such disclosure shall not be deemed a breach of confidentiality.
7. Extension of SCCs to Non-Restricted Transfer Countries: In relation to transfers of Relevant Personal Data between the Parties originating from a country that is not a Restricted Transfer Country but is otherwise subject to safeguards that, according to Applicable Data Protection Law, must be applied before a transfer can be made of that Relevant Personal Data outside of the country of origin (each a Non-Restricted Transfer Country), then the Parties agree that:
   1. the SCCs set out in paragraph (h) below shall be deemed to extend to such additional transfers to the extent that such deemed extension would satisfy the safeguards of that particular country; and/or
   2. where the measures set out in paragraph (h) below are insufficient or require supplementary measures, the parties agree to take such further measures, including, for example, execution of relevant documents, collection of consent, making of required filings, as may be required from to time in order to satisfy Applicable Data Protection Law.

h. SCCs: Subject to the preceding paragraphs of clause 3.4, the Parties hereby agree to enter into the SCCs which are incorporated by reference into the Agreement on an unchanged basis save for the following selections:

1. Where Company is located inside the European Economic Area or otherwise in a country deemed “adequate” in accordance with Article 45 of the GDPR, (Adequate Country) Module one (1) of the SCCs will apply one-way only in respect of transfers from Company to Expedia. Otherwise, Module one (1) applies two-way to cover transfers from both Company to Expedia and Expedia to Company.
2. For the purposes of clause 11(a) of the SCCs, the optional language is deleted.
3. For the purposes of clause 13 of the SCCs, the relevant paragraph is “The supervisory authority of the Member State in which the representative within the meaning of Article 27(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 is established, as indicated in Annex I.C, shall act as competent supervisory authority”.
4. For the purposes of clause 17 of the SCCs, the governing law is Ireland.
5. For the purposes of clause 18(b) of the SCCs, the selection is Ireland.

6. Restricted Transfer Data. A new clause 19 is added to the SCCs to cover transfers of personal data originating from the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Brazil, Saudi Arabia or Thailand to a country that is neither deemed adequate under the Applicable Data Protection Law of the originating country nor is otherwise exempt from requiring entry into standard contractual clauses as follows:

    

   “Clause 19

   UK, Swiss, Brazilian, Saudi and Thai Transfers

   The Parties agree that these Clauses will extend and apply, to the extent relevant to the transfer in question, to cover extra-territorial transfers that fall under the scope of the Reference Privacy Law (referred to in this Clause as a Reference Transfer). For the purposes of such Reference transfers, the governing law shall be deemed to be the relevant Reference Governing Law, the choice of forum shall be the Reference Country, and the Reference Supervisory Authority shall be the competent supervisory authority.  The Parties further agree that such further changes shall be construed to be made to the Clauses in respect of a Reference transfer as are deemed necessary by the Reference Supervisory Authority to comply with the Reference Privacy Laws, and the Clauses shall be interpreted in accordance with the requirements for Reference transfers arising under those laws or as otherwise set out in guidance issued by the Reference Supervisory Authority, without the Parties having to enter into separate standard contractual clauses prepared specifically for their Reference transfers.  The Parties shall further do all such acts and things as may be necessary to ensure compliance with the Reference Privacy Laws when engaging in Reference transfers.

8. All references to a Reference Supervisory Authority mean the referenced authority or any successor body to it.

9. In relation to the United Kingdom, the provisions of the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses shall apply as set out in the form attached as the Addendum.

10. Third country transfers: A new clause 20 is added to cover transfers of personal data from any other country not hitherto specified where the SCCs may be extended to ensure appropriate safeguards for transfers of personal data originating from that country to a party located outside of that country as follows:

     

    “Clause 20

    Other third country transfers

    The Parties agree that these Clauses will extend and apply, to the extent relevant to the transfer in question, to cover cross-border transfers that fall under the scope of any other applicable laws and regulations in any relevant jurisdiction, relating to the use or processing of personal data (Applicable Data Protection Laws) requiring terms and protections broadly equivalent to these Clauses in order to transfer personal data from that country (referred to in this clause as the Third Country) to another (referred to in this Clause as a Third Country transfer). For the purposes of such Third Country transfers, the governing law shall be deemed to be the laws of the Third Country, the choice of forum shall be the Third Country and the data protection authority or other relevant regulatory body of that country shall be the competent supervisory authority. The Parties further agree that such further changes shall be construed to be made to the Clauses in respect of a Third Country transfer as are deemed necessary by such supervisory authority to comply with the Applicable Data Protection Law of that Third Country, and the Clauses shall be interpreted in accordance with the requirements for Third Country transfers arising under those laws or as otherwise set out in guidance issued by the relevant supervisory authority, without the Parties having to enter into separate standard contractual clauses prepared specifically for their Third Country transfers. The Parties shall further do all such acts and things as may be necessary to ensure compliance with the Applicable Data Protection Law(s) when engaging in Third Country transfers.”

3.5 In respect of the above SCCs, they will apply to the processing as follows:

1. each Party acting as data exporter or data importer under the SCCs will be deemed to have entered into the SCCs in its own name and on its own behalf.

2. Annex 1 (SCCs Processing Overview) to this C2C Agreement constitutes Annex 1 of the SCCs.

3. Annex 2 (Technical and Organizational Measures) to this C2C Agreement constitutes Annex 2 of the SCCs and applies only to Expedia where (a) only one-way SCCs apply for transfers of Restricted Transfer Data from Company to Expedia; or (b) Company has provided, and Expedia has accepted, adequate technical and organizational measures to satisfy Company's Annex 2 requirements of the SCCs. Where the aforementioned conditions are not met, Annex 2 will be construed to apply to both parties and all references to Expedia and Expedia Group will be construed to reference either party accordingly.

4. the Addendum to this C2C Agreement constitutes the UK Addendum for the purposes of the SCCs.

5. if there is any conflict between any clause of this Agreement and the SCCs, the SCCs will prevail.

4. PCI DATA
