European Union (EU) data protection law regulates the transfer of personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). With respect to the various products and services that the Search Provider offers to its partners, such personal data may include data about partners of the Search Provider or their end users, and end users of the Search Provider. On a practical level, compliance with EU data protection laws means that personal data collected and processed in connection with the services provided by the Search Provider to its partners and end users can be transferred to and processed outside of the EEA.

The following clauses, which form an integral part of the Search Provider agreements which contain a link to this page (the “Agreement”), are based on the standardized contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure that any personal data leaving the EEA will be transferred in compliance with EU data protection laws and meet the requirements of the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC.

A reference to “Partner” in the clauses below may mean a Publisher, Distributor or Advertiser depending on your title under the Agreement which incorporates these clauses. To the extent that you are a Publisher or Distributor, you acknowledge and agree that the flow of data from you to the Search Provider and nature of the relationship between you and the Search Provider characterizes you as the “Data Exporter” and The Search Provider as the “Data Importer”. To the extent that you are an Advertiser, you acknowledge and agree that the flow of data and the nature of the relationship between you and the Search Provider characterizes the Search Provider as the “Data Exporter” and you as the “Data Importer”.

Contractual Data Transfer Clauses:
The parties represent and warrant that the Search Provider and Partner are both considered Data Controllers as such terms are defined under applicable EU law.

1. Obligations of Data Exporter
(a) Data Exporter shall undertake and ensure that (a) all end users have been informed of, and have given their consent to, the Search Provider’s use, process, and transfer of Personal Data as described in the Search Provider’s Privacy Policy located at http://www.mobisearches.com/privacy-policy.html, as required by all applicable data protection legislation; (b) it has obtained clear and unambiguous consent from all end users that Personal Data may be transferred or stored outside the European Economic Area and/ or outside the country where Data Exporter or its end users are located; (c) Personal Data has been and will continue to be collected, processed and transferred by it in accordance with the relevant provisions of the applicable data protection legislation; (d) it has used reasonable efforts to determine that Data Importer has implemented sufficient Technical and Organisational Security Measures (as defined below) and those measures are appropriate to protect Personal Data and that it is able to satisfy its legal obligations under these clauses; and (e) it will properly respond to enquiries from the authority concerning processing of the Personal Data by Data Importer, unless the parties have agreed that the Data Importer will so respond, in which case the Data Exporter will still respond to the extent reasonably possible and with the information reasonably available to it if the Data Importer is unwilling or unable to respond.

In the event that Data Importer is in breach of its obligations under Section 2, then Data Exporter may temporarily suspend the transfer of personal data to Data Importer until the breach is repaired or terminate the Agreement immediately.
