Exhibit A

1               Details of arrangements

For Data Receivers that are not Payers, Data Receiver desires to view medical information in read-only form stored on Cleveland Clinic London’s electronic medical records for patients of Data Receiver.  Data Receiver is accessing such medical records solely for the purposes of providing care for such patient or for scheduling appointments with Cleveland Clinic London for such patients.

2               Agreed Purposes

The purpose of Cleveland Clinic London providing the patient health data is in connection with Data Receiver providing medical care.

3               Personal Data and Data Subjects

Types of Personal Data

 

Name, gender, phone, address, email address, insurance identification number, and relatives.  All medical information contained in Cleveland Clinic London’s electronic medical record about an individual patient.  Information in the medical record could include information about the patient’s race, genetic data, the person’s sex life or sexual orientation.

Categories of Data Subject

 

Patients of Cleveland Clinic London who are receiving medical care from Data Receiver.

4               Technical and organisational measures

Data Receiver personnel can access Cleveland Clinic London’s DrConnect with unique credentials that Cleveland Clinic London provides to such individuals.  Data Receiver is responsible for the security of such credentials.  Cleveland Clinic London provides access to medical records through view-only access via DrConnect. Data Receiver must have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures for its system, including, without limitation, appropriate anti-virus software, multi-factor authentication for remote systems, role-based access limitations, requirements for complex passwords (e.g., cannot be default or easily guessed), ensuring only systems that have a legitimate use are able to connect to Data Receiver’s network and only for permissible purposes.

The request will be subject to any necessary consent or approval from a regulatory or supervisory authority within the country of the data importer, which consent or approval the data importer will attempt to obtain in a timely fashion.

             iii.                  data subjects have been given the opportunity to object, after having been informed of the purposes of the transfer, the categories of recipients and the fact that the countries to which data is exported may have different data protection standards, or

             iv.                  with regard to onward transfers of sensitive data, data subjects have given their unambiguous consent to the onward transfer.

Clause 3 Liability and third-party rights                

(a)        Each party shall be liable to the other parties for damages it causes by any breach of these clauses. Liability as between the parties is limited to actual damage suffered. Punitive damages (i.e. damages intended to punish a party for its outrageous conduct) are specifically excluded. Each party shall be liable to data subjects for damages it causes by any breach of third-party rights under these clauses. This does not affect the liability of the data exporter under the UK GDPR or the DPA 2018.       

(b)        The parties agree that a data subject shall have the right to enforce as a third party beneficiary this clause and clauses I(b), I(d), I(e), II(a), II(c), II(d), II(e), II(h), II(i), III(a), V, VI(d) and VII against the data importer or the data exporter, for their respective breach of their contractual obligations, with regard to his personal data, and accept jurisdiction for this purpose in the data exporter’s country of establishment. In cases involving allegations of breach by the data importer, the data subject must first request the data exporter to take appropriate action to enforce his rights against the data importer; if the data exporter does not take such action within a reasonable period (which under normal circumstances would be one month), the data subject may then enforce his rights against the data importer directly. A data subject is entitled to proceed directly against a data exporter that has failed to use reasonable efforts to determine that the data importer is able to satisfy its legal obligations under these clauses (the data exporter shall have the burden to prove that it took reasonable efforts).        

Clause 4 Law applicable to the clauses     

These clauses shall be governed by the law of the UK country in which the data exporter is established, with the exception of the laws and regulations relating to processing of the personal data by the data importer under clause II(h), which shall apply only if so selected by the data importer under that clause.

Clause 5 Resolution of disputes with data subjects or the Commissioner                      

(a)        In the event of a dispute or claim brought by a data subject or the Commissioner concerning the processing of the personal data against either or both of the parties, the parties will inform each other about any such disputes or claims, and will cooperate with a view to settling them amicably in a timely fashion.

(b)        The parties agree to respond to any generally available non-binding mediation procedure initiated by a data subject or by the Commissioner. If they do participate in the proceedings, the parties may elect to do so remotely (such as by telephone or other electronic means). The parties also agree to consider participating in any other arbitration, mediation or other dispute resolution proceedings developed for data protection disputes.

(c)        Each party shall abide by a decision of a competent court of the data exporter’s country of establishment or of the Commissioner which is final and against which no further appeal is possible.           

Claus 6 Termination            

(a)        In the event that the data importer is in breach of its obligations under these clauses, then the data exporter may temporarily suspend the transfer of personal data to the data importer until the breach is repaired or the contract is terminated.        

(b)        In the event that:

(i)         the transfer of personal data to the data importer has been temporarily suspended by the data exporter for longer than one month pursuant to paragraph (a);

(ii)        compliance by the data importer with these clauses would put it in breach of its legal or regulatory obligations in the country of import;

(iii)       the data importer is in substantial or persistent breach of any warranties or undertakings given by it under these clauses;

(iv)       a final decision against which no further appeal is possible of a competent court of the United Kingdom rules that there has been a breach of the clauses by the data importer or the data exporter; or

(v)        a petition is presented for the administration or winding up of the data importer, whether in its personal or business capacity, which petition is not dismissed within the applicable period for such dismissal under applicable law; a winding up order is made; a receiver is appointed over any of its assets; a trustee in bankruptcy is appointed, if the data importer is an individual; a company voluntary arrangement is commenced by it; or any equivalent event in any jurisdiction occurs

then the data exporter, without prejudice to any other rights which it may have against the data importer, shall be entitled to terminate these clauses, in which case the Commissioner shall be informed where required. In cases covered by (i), (ii), or (iv) above the data importer may also terminate these clauses.          

(c)        Either party may terminate these clauses if new UK adequacy regulations under Section 17A Data Protection Act 2018 are issued in relation to the country (or a sector thereof) to which the data is transferred and processed by the data importer.

(d)        The parties agree that the termination of these clauses at any time, in any circumstances and for whatever reason does not exempt them from the obligations and/or conditions under the clauses as regards the processing of the personal data transferred       

Clause 7 Variation of these Clauses          

The parties may not modify these clauses except to update any information in Annex B, in which case they will inform the Commissioner where required. This does not preclude the parties from (i) making changes permitted by Paragraph 7(3) & (4) of Schedule 21 Data Protection Act 2018; or (ii) adding additional commercial clauses where required.

Clause 8 Description of the transfer          

The details of the transfer and of the personal data are specified in Annex B.

Annex A

1.              Purpose limitation: Personal data may be processed and subsequently used or further communicated only for purposes described in Annex B or subsequently authorised by the data subject.           

2.              Data quality and proportionality: Personal data must be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. The personal data must be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which they are transferred and further processed.    

3.              Transparency: Data subjects must be provided with information necessary to ensure fair processing (such as information about the purposes of processing and about the transfer), unless such information has already been given by the data exporter.     

4.              Security and confidentiality: Technical and organisational security measures must be taken by the data controller that are appropriate to the risks, such as against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, presented by the processing. Any person acting under the authority of the data controller, including a processor, must not process the data except on instructions from the data controller. 

5.              Rights of access, rectification, deletion and objection: data subjects must, whether directly or via a third party, be provided with the personal information about them that an organisation holds, except for requests which are manifestly abusive, based on unreasonable intervals or their number or repetitive or systematic nature, or for which access need not be granted under the law of the country of the data exporter.

    1. Provided that the Commissioner has given its prior approval, access need also not be granted when doing so would be likely to seriously harm the interests of the data importer or other organisations dealing with the data importer and such interests are not overridden by the interests for fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. The sources of the personal data need not be identified when this is not possible by reasonable efforts, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated.

 

    1. Data subjects must be able to have the personal information about them rectified, amended, or deleted where it is inaccurate or processed against these principles. If there are compelling grounds to doubt the legitimacy of the request, the organisation may require further justifications before proceeding to rectification, amendment or deletion. Notification of any rectification, amendment or deletion to third parties to whom the data have been disclosed need not be made when this involves a disproportionate effort.
    2. A data subject must also be able to object to the processing of the personal data relating to him if there are compelling legitimate grounds relating to his particular situation. The burden of proof for any refusal rests on the data importer, and the data subject may always challenge a refusal before the Commissioner.     

6.              Sensitive data: The data importer shall take such additional measures (eg relating to security) as are necessary to protect such sensitive data in accordance with its obligations under Clause II.           

7.              Data used for marketing purposes: Where data are processed for the purposes of direct marketing, effective procedures should exist allowing the data subject at any time to “opt-out” from having his data used for such purposes. 

8.              Automated decisions: For purposes hereof “automated decision” shall mean a decision by the data exporter or the data importer which produces legal effects concerning a data subject or significantly affects a data subject and which is based solely on automated processing of personal data intended to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to him, such as his performance at work, creditworthiness, reliability, conduct, etc. The data importer shall not make any automated decisions concerning data subjects, except when:

    1. such decisions are made by the data importer in entering into or performing a contract with the data subject, and
    2. (the data subject is given an opportunity to discuss the results of a relevant automated decision with a representative of the parties making such decision or otherwise to make representations to that parties.\
