ATOM ONE Product Terms and Conditions

revision September 1st 2020

Article I.

Service Description

The ATOM ONE service is operated using Microsoft products available within the Microsoft Azure environment (hereinafter referred to as “Azure”) provided through KPCS CZ s.r.o. The company KPCS CZ s.r.o. (hereinafter referred to as the “Provider”) provides an automated analysis of the monitored environment of the Customer. Recommendations, warnings, and recommendations are provided to the Customer, based on which it can increase the security and health of its IT environment. The Service is provided within the tariffs and extensions that are defined by these Terms and Conditions. The individual functionalities are defined in Article II. The Provider processes information from the Customer's environment, based on which the Service is provided. For the avoidance of doubt, the Provider states that it does not preview databases or systems that are accessible under a different identity than the system identity. Data are obtained using technical means (hereinafter referred to as the “Agent”), which are installed on individual devices in the Customer's environment.

In order to provide the ATOM ONE service, the Customer's cooperation is generally necessary, consisting mainly in allowing access to the Internet from its environment, installing the necessary software, and other steps, which are further described in the technical documentation. Repeated non-cooperation by the Customer is considered as a breach of the Contract by the Customer in a particularly serious manner which may result in a possible withdrawal from the Contract by the Provider. Failure to provide cooperation by the Customer shall not mean an actual delay in the fulfillment of obligations towards the Provider, i.e. the Provider is not in delay for the period of the Customer's delay.

The ATOM ONE service may also be provided within the Customer's existing Azure environment. However, in order for the Service to be deployed the cooperation of the Customer is necessary which enables the access to the environment where the Service shall be deployed.

Article II.

Service components

The Provider provides the service using Basic and Extension Components. The Basic Components form the core of the Service and cannot be removed in order for the Service to function correctly. Extension Components complement the basic functionality with additional, optional functions.

The mentioned components are provided by the Provider in the default form without the need and possibility of modification by the Customer. Therefore, unless stated otherwise in the Contract or the Offer, the Customer has mere access to view, search, merge data of which it is the sole owner. The Provider has the right to modify its own system, it can add data, modify settings, visualize, and activate or deactivate parts of the system. The components are ready for immediate use by the Customer in a fully configured form and which the Provider declares to deliver to the Customer as part of the Service, within 24 hours of ordering, unless there are insurmountable obstacles in the launch of the Service by Microsoft, the Provider or the Customer. Neither the Provider nor the Customer have the opportunity or the right to modify the information already entered in the ATOM ONE service and the Azure platform.

Article VIII.

Definition of the position in relation to Regulation no. 679/2016 and Act No. 101/2000 Sb.

The Provider does not preview databases or applications that could contain confidential information with respect to the protection of privacy, except for information about user access to the system or IP addresses or MAC addresses from which the system was accessed, or information about websites visited. The Provider is considered to be a "Third Party" as specified in REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation). For this reason, the Provider sets out below the conditions of confidentiality in relation to the ascertained facts, which result from the obligations upon delivery of the ATOM ONE service. If there is a separate confidentiality agreement or a processing agreement between the Provider and the Customer, then it is superior thereto.

  1. Within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, the Contracting Parties shall be considered as independent controllers vis-à-vis Data Subjects and as Third Parties vis-à-vis themselves with regard to the definitions set out in Article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

  2. The Contracting Parties are obliged to inform the Data Subject according to the conditions of the General Data Protection Regulation, about the transfer of personal data to the other Party, especially when transferring contact information of employees or partners of the Contracting Parties.

  3. The employees of the Contracting Parties or other natural persons who process personal data on the basis of a contract with the controller and other persons who come into contact with personal data maintained with the controller in the course of fulfilling the rights and obligations prescribed by the law are obliged to keep confidential of personal data and security measures, the disclosure of which would jeopardize the security of personal data.

  4. Each of the Contracting Parties is obliged to take sufficient measures with regard to the context of the performed processing and with regard to the personal data that are processed by the Contracting Party, according to the determined degree of risk of the performed processing. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party is responsible for the other Party at the level of the measures taken and it is therefore up to each Contracting Party to ensure continued protection by appropriate technical or organizational measures against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction or damage.

  5. Neither Contracting Party shall carry out the systematic processing of personal data and transfer the personal data outside the IT space of the Contracting Party that is the controller of the personal data and shall not manipulate the personal data of persons other than employees of the Contracting Parties, which means always only those data that are strictly necessary for the given action.

  6. For the avoidance of doubt, the Contracting Parties agree that this paragraph is without prejudice to the incidental collection of personal data necessary to fulfill the subject matter of the Contract, as such incidental collection is not bound by the terms of the General Data Protection Regulation.

  7. Should it be necessary to carry out systematic processing of personal data of Data Subjects other than employees of the Contracting Parties, then the relationship between the Contracting Parties shall be modified to the processing relationship and an appropriate contract shall be concluded for the processing of personal data of Data Subjects.

  8. Should there be a systematic processing of personal data of Data Subjects, the Contracting Parties are obliged to inform the other Party immediately, but no later than before the start of the processing.

  9. Personal data with which the Contracting Parties come into contact shall be used only for the performance of the subject-matter of the Contract and shall not be used for any other purposes of processing without the prior consent of the other Party.

  10. If the Contract is terminated then each Contracting Party shall ensure immediate deletion of personal data concerning the Data Subjects of the other Party, except for information on Data Subjects who were directly involved in the performance of the subject-matter of the Contract. These persons shall be stored in the systems in accordance with the applicable text of the "Principles on Personal Data Protection" or also the "Information Memorandum", which is accessible to each of the Contracting Parties.

The Provider representing Microsoft in the negotiations represents that Microsoft becomes the personal data processor in relation to the personal data controller, the Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Provider states that it is not responsible for Microsoft's actions as a data controller and states that Microsoft should abide by its Microsoft privacy statement, which can be found here https://privacy.microsoft.com/cs-cz/privacystatement.

If necessary, with regard to the protection of privacy of natural persons or in connection with a breach of security, the Customer may use the contact email address privacy@kpcs.cz, where its request shall be handled, and any questions answered.
