  • the purpose

  • the duration of processing

  • the nature and purpose of the processing,

  • the type of personal data

  • the categories of data subjects,

  • the obligations and rights of the data controller.

Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, this part constitutes the documentation of the Instructions of the controller to the processor.

In accordance with article 28 10. of the Regulation, the Publisher will be considered as a data controller if it alone determines the purposes and means of the processing, or uses the data for its own purposes which have not been defined by the Customer.

Purpose of the contract

See paragraph "Purpose of the Contract" in the Contract between the Customer and PYSAE.

Processing operations carried out under the contract

The processing operations carried out on the data are as follows:

Table: Data subjects, processed data and standard retention periods

Confidentiality

The employment contracts of the Publisher's employees include a confidentiality clause ensuring the protection of data processed on behalf of Customers.

Data security

The subcontractor is aware of its security obligations and implements the following measures, defined in application of the main ANSSI recommendations.

System access control

All systems run the latest versions of Amazon Linux EKS, applying the usual good security practices. All systems are updated automatically.

Access to the network and systems is restricted to authorized Publisher personnel.

Technical access to servers is via the orchestrator console, using a combination of api key and secret. These identifiers are personal and administered. Access via the traditional "code + password" system is deactivated.

No direct access is granted from an external network.

Access to application and database servers is protected by firewalls and reverse proxies.

Each server implements protection systems, including within the network (firewalls, brute-force attack blocking, etc.).

All server accesses are logged and monitored.

When a system is decommissioned, all data is securely erased using tools approved by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Physical security

Data is stored exclusively on servers housed in data centres certified to ISO 27001 or equivalent.

These data centres provide at least a fenced perimeter, access to the premises by personal badge or biometrics, and 24-hour video surveillance of accesses, rooms and servers.

Application security

Development methods apply good security practices, as defined by OWASP, in order to limit the risks of undue modification, injection or alteration of data.

All System components are identified. The Publisher actively monitors the security of these components and applies security corrections as required, without delay.

Controlling access to the application and data

Only authorized employees of the Publisher have access to data processed on behalf of Customers.

Access is granted on a Customer-by-Customer basis.

All access, via the administration interfaces or system accesses, is carried out exclusively by means of personal accounts and is traced.

As standard, the passwords for the accounts of the Customer's operations managers apply the following rules: minimum size: 8 characters; minimum number of character classes: 3.

These passwords are salted and encrypted in the database (SHA256 HMAC).

Data encryption

Personal and technical data is encrypted during all transmissions from the user's terminal to the database server:

from a connected device to the application servers: TLS encryption with a strong RSA 2048-bit certificate;

from the operator's workstation to the application servers: TLS encryption with a strong RSA 2048 bit certificate;

from the application server to the database server (TLS+VPC) ;

between database servers (TLS+VPS);

Data flow control

All insertion, update and deletion operations are authenticated and traced.

Data is checked and sanitized before being inserted into the database.

Availability and resilience

All system components are designed and operated to withstand breakdowns. Applications and data are replicated in real time on at least 3 servers, from 3 different suppliers, in datacentres located in 3 different locations.

The resilience of the system is tested regularly and has already functioned successfully during a major breakdown at one of the three suppliers.

Data is backed up 4 times a day, once a week and once a month. Backups are kept for 13 months.

Supervision

The Publisher implements a system for centralising connection logs and supervising the proper functioning of systems.

Data control

The Customer may have access to back-ups of his data on request.

Data segregation

Each Customer's data is isolated in the database.

Subcontracting

Subcontractors to date

The following sub-contractors provide data hosting services on behalf of the Publisher:

Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL38 avenue John F. Kennedy,L-1855 Luxembourg whose servers used by PYSAE are located in the Paris region (https://aws.amazon.com/fr/local/france/paris/)

Services are provided under contracts ensuring data security and compliance with the RGPD.

Data localisation

The Publisher certifies that all personal data is stored in data centres and servers located within the European Economic Area.

Data retention periods

The data retention periods indicated in Table 1: Data subjects, data processed and standard retention periods.

In accordance with article 25.2 of the Regulation, the Customer, the data controller, may determine specific and different data retention periods and instruct the Publisher to apply them.

Assessment of the risk to data subjects

The processing is set up within the strict framework of the drivers' activity. It is intended for the sole purpose of measuring and improving service quality.

Although the data collected and the high frequency with which it is collected may enable the individual activity of drivers to be monitored, the processing is not intended for this purpose; it does not provide screens, interfaces or transactions enabling the activity or performance of an individual to be tracked; the absence of these functions is a voluntary decision to protect privacy (privacy by design).

The processing does not involve a large number of people.

The processing does not include data from the special categories of data referred to in Article 9 of the Regulation (so-called "sensitive" data).

The data subjects are informed of the existence and purposes of the processing.

The data is kept for a limited period.

Access to the application is restricted to authorized users and is protected by a password in accordance with CNIL recommendations. Access and actions are logged.

Unauthorized disclosure of the data is not likely to create a serious breach of the professional life or privacy of the data subjects.

Consequently, and in application of the above criteria, the risk to data subjects is assessed as follows:

Intrinsic risk linked to the principle of implementing the processing :

Negligible - Limited - Significant - Maximum

Residual risk following the application of organizational and technical measures:

Negligible - Limited - Significant - Maximum

Need for a data protection impact assessment (no)

In the absence of a high risk for individuals, as defined by Article 35 and Recitals 89 to 92, it is not necessary to carry out a data protection impact assessment for this processing operation.

Fate of data at the end of the contract - Reversibility

In the event of termination of the subscription contract, for whatever reason, the Publisher :

  • return all data to the Customer, in a standard and usable format, via secure channels ;

  • securely and irreversibly deletes all data relating to operations carried out on behalf of the Customer - with the exception of data required by the Publisher to fulfil its own obligations and duties;

  • confirms to the Customer, in writing or electronically, the successful completion of these deletion operations.

Information to the persons concerned
