ComponentSource complies with all applicable laws for the protection of personal data, including without limitation (i) General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”); (ii) the California Privacy Rights Act and California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”); (iii) the terms of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension ("DPF"); (iv) the UK General Data Protection Regulation (as defined in the GDPR as amended by the Data Protection Act 2018) (the “UK GDPR”); and, (v) any other data protection legislation that applies to the parties from time to time (“Applicable Data Protection Laws”). “Personal data” for the purposes of this clause means any data or information relating to an identified or identifiable living person that enables that person to be identified by any direct or indirect means and references to “controller”, “processor”, data subject”, “personal data breach”, “process” and “processing” shall have the respective meanings given to them (and equivalent expressions) in Applicable Data Protection Laws.

For the purposes of this Agreement, you are sharing personal data with ComponentSource relating to data subjects, with each party acting as an independent and separate controller. Details of the roles and responsibilities of each party acting as a controller in accordance with this Agreement are set out in Annex 1 below.

By entering into this Agreement you acknowledge and agree that, for as long as this Agreement subsists, any of your personal data supplied as part of the ordering or licensing process may be used by ComponentSource as reasonably necessary to detect fraudulent activity, successfully process your order, deliver your Software, record your license and report details of the same to the applicable Software product Publisher or Owner, monitor your Software for usage, contact you in connection with the offering or delivery of maintenance or support or upgrade services or for any other purpose connected with your use and enjoyment of the Software and where ComponentSource is delivering the Software to you, ComponentSource is required to transfer personal data to the Publisher to successfully process your order (Permitted Purposes). If the Publisher is in a jurisdiction that is different from ComponentSource, ComponentSource will ensure the personal data is transferred with appropriate safeguards in place in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws. In addition, as set out in clause 12 below, ComponentSource anticipates that you will be transacting with the ComponentSource entity that is in same jurisdiction as you and the data subject, if for any reason you are transacting with a ComponentSource entity that is not in the same jurisdiction as you and/or the data subject, both parties will be deemed to have entered into the terms contained in Annex 1 or will enter into any additional terms necessary so as to ensure that any transfer of personal data is done with appropriate safeguards in place in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws. All users are notified that they should review our Privacy Statement to obtain full details regarding the personal information we collect, how and why we do so, what we do with it, and for how long, and to review additional information about their rights related to their personal information.

ComponentSource’s Privacy Statement (hereinafter the “Privacy Statement”). You should ensure that this Privacy Statement is brought to the attention of all data subjects whose information you may share with ComponentSource.

Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Privacy Statement, ComponentSource undertakes to keep your personal data in confidence and secure and you may at any time request in writing details from ComponentSource of your personal data held. ComponentSource will acknowledge any such request within 10 days and will comply within 28 days or within any other reasonable time period as permitted by applicable law.

You also have the right to request the deletion of your personal data from ComponentSource files and records and to be “forgotten”. However, compliance with such a request prior to the termination of this Agreement could render ComponentSource incapable of fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement and with the Publishers of Software products licensed to you and in consequence could result in the termination of this Agreement and any associated Software licences. We would therefore consult with you directly before implementing such a request.

ComponentSource will never sell your personal data to a third party.

Processing of personal data will generally be carried out by ComponentSource but if any processing is sub-contracted to a third party ComponentSource will ensure that such third party is bound by written contract to protect your personal data and to adhere to all of the provisions of this Article.

If this Agreement ends for any reason, unless otherwise requested by you in writing ComponentSource will retain your personal data for a minimum period of 7 years after termination. Data necessary for the maintenance of our license record obligations to our Software product Publishers and to operate our anti-fraud systems effectively will be retained indefinitely.

ComponentSource will keep this information confidential except that it will be supplied to prosecuting or regulatory authorities in connection with fraud or other investigations.
