Background

  1. Pembio AB reg. nr. 559274-5375 (the "Company") offers a SaaS platform for managing work (the “Service”).

  3. The User of the Service will act as a Data Controller (the "Controller").

  5. The Parties (Processor and User) seek to implement a data processing DPA that complies with the requirements of the current legal framework in relation to data processing and with the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons 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).
  6. The Company may under this DPA only carry out the Service Processing of Personal Data in accordance with the instructions of the Controller.
  7. This DPA is intended to constitute and shall be interpreted as a written DPA between The Company and the Controller pursuant to applicable Data Protection Laws.
