BigMarker shall (i) provide an up-to-date list of the Sub-processors it has appointed upon written request from Customer; and (ii) notify Customer (for which email shall suffice) if it adds or removes Sub-processors at least 10 days prior to any such changes.
Customer may object in writing to BigMarker’s appointment of a new Sub-processor within five (5) calendar days of such notice, provided that such objection is based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. In such event, the parties shall discuss such concerns in good faith with a view to achieving resolution. If this is not possible, Customer may suspend or terminate the Agreement (without prejudice to any fees incurred by Customer prior to suspension or termination).
The Services provide Customer with a number of controls that Customer may use to retrieve, correct, delete or restrict Customer Data, which Customer may use to assist it in connection with its obligations under the GDPR, including its obligations relating to responding to requests from data subjects or applicable data protection authorities. To the extent that Customer is unable to independently access the relevant Customer Data within the Services, BigMarker shall (at Customer's expense) provide reasonable cooperation to assist Customer to respond to any requests from individuals or applicable data protection authorities relating to the processing of Personal Data under the Agreement. In the event that any such request is made directly to BigMarker, BigMarker shall not respond to such communication directly without Customer's prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so. If BigMarker is required to respond to such a request, BigMarker shall promptly notify Customer and provide it with a copy of the request unless legally prohibited from doing so.
If a law enforcement agency sends BigMarker a demand for Customer Data (for example, through a subpoena or court order), BigMarker shall attempt to redirect the law enforcement agency to request that data directly from Customer. As part of this effort, BigMarker may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the law enforcement agency. If compelled to disclose Customer Data to a law enforcement agency, then BigMarker shall give Customer reasonable notice of the demand to allow Customer to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless BigMarker is legally prohibited from doing so.

As a company that takes data security and privacy very seriously, we recognize that BigMarker’s information security practices are important to you. While we don’t like to expose too much detail around our practices (as it can empower the very people we are protecting ourselves against), we have provided some general information below to give you confidence in how we secure the data entrusted to us.
Data Center Security
BigMarker delivers millions of online events for millions of users. We have a global infrastructure, scaled across different world-class data centers around the United States. Our data centers manage physical security 24/7 with biometric scanners and the usual high tech stuff that data centers always brag about. We have DDOS mitigation in place at all of our data centers. We have a documented "in case of nuclear attack on a data center" infrastructure continuity plan.
Protection from Data Loss, Corruption
All databases are kept separate and dedicated to preventing corruption and overlap. We have multiple layers of logic that segregate user accounts from each other. Account data is mirrored and regularly backed up off site.
Application Level Security
BigMarker account passwords are hashed. Our own staff can't even view them. If you lose your password, it can't be retrieved—it must be reset. All login pages (from our website and mobile website) pass data via TLS. The entire BigMarker application is encrypted with TLS. Login pages and logins via the BigMarker API have brute force protection. We perform regular external security penetration tests using established independent vendors. The tests involve high-level server penetration tests, in-depth testing for vulnerabilities inside the application, and social engineering drills.
Internal IT Security
BigMarker offices are secured and monitored with infrared cameras throughout. Our office network is heavily segmented and centrally monitored. We have a dedicated internal security team that constantly monitors our environment for vulnerabilities. They perform penetration testing and social engineering exercises on our environment and our employees.
Internal Protocol and Education
We continuously train employees on best security practices, including how to identify social engineering, phishing scams, and hackers. Employees on teams that have access to customer data (such as tech support and our engineers) undergo criminal history and credit background checks prior to employment. All employees sign a Privacy Safeguard Agreement outlining their responsibility in protecting customer data. In order to protect our company from a variety of different losses, BigMarker has established a comprehensive insurance program. Coverage includes, but is not exclusive to: coverage for cyber incidents, data privacy incidents (including regulatory expenses), general error and omission liability coverage, excess cyber liability coverage, property and business interruption coverage, as well as international commercial general liability coverage.
Financial Processing Security
BigMarker’s credit card processing vendor uses security measures to protect your information both during the transaction and after it is complete. Our vendor is certified as compliant with card association security initiatives, including the Visa Cardholder Information Security and Compliance (CISP), MasterCard® Site Data Protection Program (SDP), and Discovery Information Security and Compliance (DISC).
Protecting Ourselves Against Compromised User Accounts
If a user’s computer gets compromised and someone gets into your BigMarker account, that's not good for either of us. We take measures to protect ourselves against the risk of compromised user accounts. We monitor and will automatically suspend accounts for signs of irregular or suspicious login activity. Certain changes to your account, such as to your password, will trigger email notifications to the account owner. We monitor accounts and campaign activity for signs of abuse.
In addition to our scalable algorithms, we employ another layer of human reviewers, who monitor for anomalous account and email activity. We make Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) available to our enterprise customers. We provide the ability to establish tiered-levels of access within accounts.
Investing in Your Privacy
Our Legal team partners with our developers and engineers to make sure our products and features comply with applicable international spam and privacy laws. We retain a law firm to consult on EU privacy issues. We undergo annual verification with the Privacy Shield verification program or execute the GDPR Standard Contractual Clauses. Our attorneys and Legal Compliance team are active members of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).
Responsible Disclosure
If you’ve discovered a vulnerability in the BigMarker application, please don’t share it publicly. Instead, please submit a report to privacy@bigmarker.com. We review all security concerns brought to our attention, and we take a proactive approach to emerging security issues. Every day, new security issues and attack vectors are created. BigMarker strives to stay on top of the latest security developments both internally and by working with external security researchers and companies. We appreciate the community’s efforts in creating a more secure web.If you believe your account has been compromised or you are seeing suspicious activity on your account please email privacy@bigmarker.com.
All defined terms used in this Annex C shall have the meaning given to them in the SCCs unless otherwise defined in this Annex.
Appendix 3 to the Standard Contractual Clauses
This Appendix forms part of the Clauses and must be completed by the parties. This Appendix sets out the parties' interpretation of their respective obligations under specific Clauses identified below.
Where a party complies with the interpretations set out in this Appendix, that party shall be deemed by the other party to have complied with its commitments under the Clauses. For the purposes of this Appendix, "DPA" means the Data Processing Addendum in place between data importer and data exporter and to which these Clauses are incorporated and "Agreement" shall have the meaning given to it in the DPA.
Clause 5(a): Suspension of data transfers and termination
The parties acknowledge that data importer may process the personal data only on behalf of the data exporter and in compliance with its instructions as provided by the data exporter and the Clauses. The parties acknowledge that if data importer cannot provide such compliance for whatever reason, it agrees to promptly inform the data exporter of its inability to comply, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the Clauses. If the data exporter intends to suspend the transfer of personal data and/or terminate these Clauses, it shall endeavour to provide notice to the data importer and provide data importer with a reasonable period of time to cure the non-compliance (“Cure Period”). If after the Cure Period the data importer has not or cannot cure the non-compliance then the data exporter may suspend or terminate the transfer of personal data immediately. The data exporter shall not be required to provide such notice in instances where it considers there is a material risk of harm to data subjects or their personal data.
Clause 5(f): Audit
Data exporter acknowledges and agrees that it exercises its audit right under Clause 5(f) by instructing data importer to comply with the audit measures described in Section 5 (Security Reports and Audits) of the DPA.
Clause 5(j): Disclosure of subprocessor agreements
The parties acknowledge the obligation of the data importer to send promptly a copy of any onward subprocessor agreement it concludes under the Clauses to the data exporter. The parties further acknowledge that, pursuant to subprocessor confidentiality restrictions, data importer may be restricted from disclosing onward subprocessor agreements to data exporter. Notwithstanding this, data importer shall use reasonable efforts to require any subprocessor it appoints to permit it to disclose the subprocessor agreement to data exporter.
Even where data importer cannot disclose a subprocessor agreement to data exporter, the parties agree that, upon the request of data exporter, data importer shall (on a confidential basis) provide all information it reasonably can in connection with such subprocessing agreement to data exporter.
Clause 6: Liability
Any claims brought under the Clauses shall be subject to the terms and conditions, including but not to limited to, the exclusions and limitations set forth in the Agreement. In no event shall any party limit its liability with respect to any data subject rights under these Clauses.
Clause 11: Onward subprocessing
The parties acknowledge that, pursuant to FAQ II.1 in Article 29 Working Party Paper WP 176 entitled "FAQs in order to address some issues raised by the entry into force of the EU Commission Decision 2010/87/EU of 5 February 2010 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries under Directive 95/46/EC" the data exporter may provide a general consent to onward subprocessing by the data importer.
Accordingly, data exporter provides a general consent to data importer, pursuant to Clause 11 of these Clauses, to engage onward subprocessors. Such consent is conditional on data importer’s compliance with the requirements set out in Section 3 (Sub-processing) of the DPA.
