4.1 Authorisation of Sub-Processors
The Client acknowledges and agrees that Quicktalk may hire Sub-Processors in connection with the provision
of the Quicktalk Services. In such event, Quicktalk shall have entered into a written agreement with each Sub-
Processor containing privacy obligations with respect to the protection of Client's Personal Data to the extent
applicable with respect to the nature of the Quicktalk Services provided by said Sub-Processor.
4.2 Liability of Sub-Processors
Quicktalk remains liable for the acts and omissions of its Sub-Processors under the same conditions as if

Data Protection Regulations to which it is subject, by promptly notifying Quicktalk in writing within ten (10)
business days of receipt of Quicktalk's notification in accordance with the mechanism described in Article 4.3.
If the Client objects to the appointment of a new Sub-Processor, Quicktalk shall use reasonable efforts to
offer the Client an alternative solution in the provision of the Quicktalk Services or to recommend a
commercially reasonable change in the Client's configuration or use of the Quicktalk Services to avoid the
Processing of Personal Data by the new Sub-Processor who was objected to, without this constituting an
unreasonable effort for the Client.
5. SECURITY
5.1 Security measures
Quicktalk undertakes to implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures
to ensure the security (including protection against unauthorised or unlawful Processing, and against
accidental or unlawful loss, destruction, alteration, damage, unauthorised or unlawful disclosure of or access
to the Client's Personal Data), confidentiality and integrity of the Personal Data provided by the Client in
accordance with the security standards of Quicktalk described in Appendix C (“Appendix C: Security
measures”). Quicktalk regularly checks compliance with these measures. Quicktalk undertakes not to
substantially reduce the overall security of the provision of the Quicktalk Services during the period of their
subscription by the Client.
5.2 Security updates
It is the Client's responsibility to verify the information made available by Quicktalk regarding the security of
Personal Data and to independently determine whether the Quicktalk Services meet the Client's legal
requirements and obligations under the Applicable Data Protection Regulations. The Client acknowledges
that the security measures are subject to technical progress and development and that Quicktalk may update
or modify the security measures from time to time, without prior notice to the Client, provided that such
updates and modifications do not result in a significant degradation of the overall security of the service
provided to the Client. The Client may at any time obtain
5.3 Client's responsibilities
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Client agrees, except as otherwise provided in this Contract or the
Quicktalk Service Contract, to be responsible for its secure use of the Quicktalk Service, including securing its

Client Data, including Personal Data transmitted, stored or processed by Quicktalk or its Sub-Processors and
of which Quicktalk becomes aware of, in accordance with the Applicable Data Protection Regulations.
Quicktalk will use reasonable efforts to identify the cause of such incident, whether or not it constitutes a
data breach within the meaning of the Applicable Data Protection Regulations, and will take such steps as it
considers necessary and reasonable to remedy the cause of such incident, to the extent that the power to
remedy such incident is within its control.
In particular, once Quicktalk becomes aware of a breach of Personal Data, Quicktalk:
- Will in all cases inform the Client without undue delay and, where possible, not later than 72 hours
after becoming aware of the security incident;
- Will provide timely information to the Client regarding the data breach as and when it becomes
aware of it or upon reasonable request by the Client; and

notification will include the following:
- The description and nature of the Personal Data breach including, if possible, the categories and

- The name and contact details of the Data Protection Officer or other point of contact from whom
further information can be obtained;

Upon request and in strict compliance with the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Service Contract,
Quicktalk agrees to make available to the Customer all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate
Quicktalk's compliance with the terms of this Contract, including responses to information security
questionnaires, provided that the Customer is not a competitor of Quicktalk or an affiliate of a competitor of
Quicktalk. Quicktalk will answer questions posed by the Client about the Processing of Personal Data
provided by the Client.
In the event that the information provided by Quicktalk does not allow the Client to reasonably verify
Quicktalk's compliance with its obligations under this Contract or in the event of a breach of Personal Data,
Quicktalk shall, in consultation with the Client, either:
- Provide the Client with a certificate issued by an independent qualified third-party expert certifying
that Quicktalk's business processes and procedures that involve the Processing of Personal Data
provided by the Client comply with this Contract; or alternatively
- Allow an independent third-party expert, hired by the Client and at the Client's expense, to conduct
an audit of the facilities Quicktalk uses to process the Client's Personal Data. The appointment of the
independent third-party expert must be reasonably acceptable to Quicktalk, and such expert must
be bound by confidentiality obligations satisfactory to Quicktalk. The Client shall provide Quicktalk
with a copy of the audit report. The audit will be considered as confidential information of Quicktalk.
Audits may be conducted no more than once per year per Client, during the term of the Quicktalk Service
Contract, during normal business hours, and shall be subject to (i) a written request submitted to Quicktalk at
least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed audit date and (ii) a detailed written audit plan reviewed and
approved by Quicktalk's security organisation. These audits may only take place in the presence of a
representative of the Quicktalk security team or any other person appointed for this purpose by Quicktalk.
Audits must not disrupt Quicktalk's Processing activities or compromise the security and confidentiality of
Personal Data belonging to other Quicktalk Clients.
The Client shall pay for the time spent by Quicktalk and its teams or Sub-Processors on such an audit at
Quicktalk's professional service rates applicable at that time, which shall be made available to the Client upon
request. Prior to the commencement of such an on-site audit, the Client and Quicktalk shall mutually agree
on the scope, schedule and duration of the audit, as well as the costs for the time spent by Quicktalk and its
teams or Sub-Processors, for which the Client shall be responsible. These costs must be reasonable, taking
into account the resources expended by Quicktalk or its Sub-Processors. The Client undertakes to inform
Quicktalk promptly of any non-compliance discovered during an audit.
8. DATA OWNERSHIP, TRANSFER AND DELETION
8.1 Data ownership
The Parties agree that Personal Data collected, processed, hosted, backed up or stored by Quicktalk on behalf
of the Client, under this Contract and the Quicktalk Service Contract or at the Client's initiative, is and

In order to provide the Quicktalk Services under the Service Contract, Quicktalk may need to transfer certain
Personal Data provided by the Client to Sub-Processors in accordance with Article 4 of the Contract, who may

protection for Personal Data.
Quicktalk undertakes, in accordance with the Applicable Data Protection Regulations, to implement a
mechanism to cover such a transfer in a manner that complies with the Applicable Data Protection
Regulations and in particular with the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission to
govern the transfer of Personal Data to Sub-Processors located outside the European Economic Area.

Personal Data provided by the Client under the Quicktalk Service Contract and shall require its Sub-
Processors to do the same. If the Client does not make this choice, Quicktalk will automatically delete the
Personal Data provided by the Client under the Quicktalk Service Contract.
If Quicktalk is prohibited by the Applicable Data Protection Regulations, its national law or a supervisory
authority from destroying or returning all or part of such Personal Data, Quicktalk undertakes to maintain the
confidentiality of such Personal Data and will not process any of these data for any other purpose. In such
event, Quicktalk may retain a copy of the Personal Data provided by the Client as archives, to the extent
required by the Applicable Data Protection Regulations, as authorised by the Client, or as necessary for
dispute resolution purposes.
Once the data has been returned to the Client, Quicktalk will no longer be responsible for the security of the
data and its integrity, in particular when it is stored, following the transfer of data from Quicktalk to the
Client, on the Client's servers or on the servers of a processor operating on behalf of the Client.

the extent possible and by appropriate technical and organisational means to enable the Client to comply
with its obligation to respond to any Data Subject’s request in accordance with the Applicable Data
Protection Regulations. In addition, at the Client's express request and to the extent that the Client does not
have the ability to respond to a Data Subject’s request in the course of its use of the Quicktalk Services,Quicktalk agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Client in responding to such a request.
In the event that such cooperation and assistance require significant resources on the part of Quicktalk,
Quicktalk reserves the right to charge the Client at Quicktalk's professional service rates in force at that time,
which will be made available to the Client upon request, with prior submission of a quote.
If Quicktalk receives a request for disclosure of Personal Data provided by Client from law enforcement, a
government security agency or a supervisory authority, Quicktalk will promptly notify the Client of such
request, except where disclosure of such information is prohibited by law.
In any case, Quicktalk will never respond to a request from a Data Subject whose Personal Data is processed
on behalf of the Client, unless specifically instructed beforehand to do so by the Client in writing. Similarly,
when the request is made by an authority and Quicktalk can inform the Client of this in accordance with the
stipulations of the previous paragraph, Quicktalk will never respond to such a request unless specifically
instructed beforehand to do so by the Client in writing.

the Client to reasonably assist the Client in the performance of its obligations under the Applicable Data
Protection Regulations and within the scope of Quicktalk and its Sub-Processors, including but not limited to

without undue delay, to the extent possible, with such proceedings.

which will be made available to the Client upon request, with prior submission of a quote.

Contract and any order form, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, is subject to the "Limitation of Liability"

to this Contract as confidential information and shall keep it in a proper and secure manner. Each Party shall

security practices are the subject of training communications (for example, when new employees join) and
written material is accessible (posted in work areas and made available on the intranet). In addition, we train
our employees to acquire the right data security reflexes and we also carry out internal tests (e.g. "fake
phishing campaign", use of public Wi-Fi networks, etc.).
4. SECURITY MEASURES APPLICABLE TO OUR PREMISES & EMPLOYEES
We implement industry-standard physical security and protection measures. Our offices and our employees'
information systems are adequately secured and the measures implemented include, in particular:

site. The same goes for leaving.
5. PASSWORD HASHING TECHNOLOGY
We systematically implement a hashing technology with a salting that is at least as robust as the SHA-256
standard.
Passwords for Quicktalk accounts are hashed. Our own staff can't even see them. If you lose your password,
it cannot be recovered - it must be reset.
6. SEGREGATION OF WORKING ENVIRONMENTS: PRODUCTION &
DEVELOPMENT
Our environments are strictly separated, both physically and logically. All developments are carried out on
development environments that are separate from the production ones. We also implement a strict testing
procedure on multiple environments before making the decision to go live.
In addition, all databases are separate and dedicated to the prevention of corruption and overlap. We have
several layers of logic that separate user accounts from each other.
7. VULNERABILITY MONITORING AND REMEDIATION (WORKSTATION &
PRODUCTION)
We actively monitor the emergence and identification of new potential vulnerabilities (0-day) and enforce
the implementation of new security patches on all workstations and production environments.
8. SERVER UPDATES, FIREWALLS, BACK-UP NETWORKS & ANTI-VIRUS
8.1 Policy applicable to our servers
Our servers are updated regularly, especially at every production launch.
We have a physical firewall (machine) with firewalling rules that only allow flows that are necessary for
Quicktalk's purposes and the provision of its services to Clients.
We have an automatic hot and cold backup system, machines and database clusters.
We do not use a VPN, but use SSH tunnels to access the servers.
8.2 Policy applicable to our premises
All workstations and production environments are protected by antivirus software. On each workstation, an
automatic sleep mode is also set up and configured after 5 minutes of inactivity.
9. PRIVILEGE AND SEGMENTATION OF ADMINISTRATION USES
We have implemented several classes of access and permission privileges for our Clients :
These 4 user classes ensure that the access and power of each of the Client's users only have the rights
necessary for them to use the services, on a strict "need to know" and "need to do" basis. These 4 levels of
use enable the uses and administration rights of the Quicktalk solution to be segmented.
10. RESPONSIBLE DISCLOSURE
If you have discovered a vulnerability in the Quicktalk application, please do not share it publicly. Instead,
please submit a report via the process described below. We review all security issues brought to our
attention and take a proactive approach to emerging security issues. Every day, new security problems and
new attack vectors are created. Quicktalk strives to keep abreast of the latest security developments, both
internally and by collaborating with external security researchers and companies. We appreciate the
community's efforts to create a more secure website.
If you believe your account has been compromised or if you notice any suspicious activity on your account,
please send an email to [email protected].
