VibeMarketing Inc. maintains security incident management policies and procedures and shall notify the Data Controller without undue delay and, where feasible, within forty-eight (48) hours after becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach — including the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to Data Controller Data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed by VibeMarketing Inc. or its Sub-processors (a "Data Controller Data Incident").

VibeMarketing Inc. shall make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of such Data Controller Data Incident and take those steps it deems necessary and reasonable in order to remediate the cause to the extent the remediation is within VibeMarketing Inc.'s reasonable control.

Such notification shall, to the extent available at the time of notification, include:

  • the nature of the Personal Data Breach;

  • categories and approximate number of affected Data Subjects;

  • likely consequences of the breach; and

  • measures taken or proposed to address and mitigate the breach.

The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents caused by the Data Controller or the Data Controller's Users.

The Data Processor shall immediately notify the Data Controller with full details of:

  1. Any Personal Data Breach in relation to this Addendum;

  2. Processing of Personal Data which is contrary to GDPR or would require the Processor to act in a way contrary to GDPR; and

  • US clients: us-central1 (Google Cloud Platform region — Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA)

  • Indian clients: asia-south1 (Google Cloud Platform region — Mumbai, MH, India)

  • Resiliency — Multi Availability Zones are enabled on GCP; Backup Restoration Testing is conducted regularly.

  • Server Operating Systems — Servers are customised and hardened for security. A code review process is employed to increase security of the code used to provide the Services.

  • Disaster Recovery — Data is replicated over multiple systems to protect against accidental destruction or loss. Disaster recovery programs are designed and regularly tested.

  • Security Logs — Systems have logging enabled to support security audits and monitor for actual and attempted attacks.

  • Vulnerability Management — Regular vulnerability scans are performed on all infrastructure components. Vulnerabilities are remediated on a risk basis, with Critical, High and Medium patches installed as soon as commercially possible.

Networks and Transmission

  • Data Transmission — Transmissions on production environment are transmitted via Internet standard protocols.

  • External Attack Surface — VPC Firewall Rules combined with Target Tags or Service Accounts and Security Groups are in place for the Production environment on GCP.

  • Incident Response — VibeMarketing Inc. maintains incident management policies and procedures, including detailed security incident escalation procedures. VibeMarketing Inc. monitors a variety of communication channels for security incidents, and VibeMarketing Inc.’s security personnel will react promptly to suspected or known incidents, mitigate harmful effects of such security incidents, and document such security incidents and their outcomes.

  • Encryption Technologies — VibeMarketing Inc. makes HTTPS encryption … available for data in transit and implements encryption technologies for data at rest to ensure the security and confidentiality of Customer Data.

Data Storage, Isolation, Authentication, and Destruction

  • VibeMarketing Inc. stores data in a multi-tenant environment on GCP servers.

  • Data, the Services database and file system architecture are replicated between multiple availability zones in the US and India (applicable only for user-facing high availability resolution servers; for other data, it stays within the same country).

  • VibeMarketing Inc. logically isolates the data of different customers.

  • A central authentication system is used across all Services to increase uniform security of data.

  • VibeMarketing Inc. ensures secure disposal of Client Data through the use of a series of data destruction processes.
