The Receiving Party shall (a) maintain the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in confidence, (b) use at least the same degree of care to maintain the secrecy of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as it uses in maintaining the secrecy of its own similar confidential information (but no less than reasonable care), and (c) use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only for the purpose of performing its obligations and/or exercising its rights under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, either party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information, in whole or in part (A) to its employees, officers, directors, consultants and professional advisers (e.g., attorneys, auditors, financial advisors, accountants and other professional representatives) who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such Confidential Information confidential by confidentiality obligations or, in the case of professional advisors, are bound by ethical duties to keep such Confidential Information confidential consistent with the terms of this Agreement; and (B) as required by law (in which case each party shall provide the other with prior written notification thereof, shall provide such party with the opportunity to contest such disclosure, and shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law).

In the event of actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it. Each party shall promptly notify the other in writing if it becomes aware of any violations of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement.
    2. Data Protection. If the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) applies to the Processing of Customer Personal Data (as defined below), the parties acknowledge and agree that Customer is the Controller of Customer Personal Data and the Company is the Processor of that data. The Company will: (i) only Process Customer Personal Data on behalf of and in accordance with the Customer’s written instructions and for no other purpose. The Company is hereby instructed to Process Customer Personal Data, for the Term, to the extent necessary to enable the Company to provide the Services (which the parties acknowledges as constituting the subject matter of the Processing), as documented in the form of this Agreement and as further documented in any other written instructions given by Customer and acknowledged by the Company as constituting instructions for purposes of this Agreement; (ii) promptly notify the Customer if for any reason (including a change in applicable law) the Company becomes unable to comply with any Customer’s instructions, in which case the Company will (a) provide a reasonable level of detail as to the instructions with which it cannot comply and the reasons why it cannot comply, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, and (b) cease all Processing of the affected Customer Personal Data (other than merely storing and maintaining the security of the affected Customer Data) until such time as the Customer issues new instructions with which the Company is able to comply (If this provision applies, the Company will not be liable to Customer under the Agreement in respect of any failure to perform the Services due to its inability to process Customer Personal Data until such time as the Customer issues new instructions in regard to such Processing); (iii) ensure that any person whom Company authorizes to Process Customer Personal Data on its behalf is subject to confidentiality obligations in respect of that Customer Personal Data; (iv) implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Personal Data; (v) notify the Customer as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of any Personal Data Breach affecting any Customer Personal Data (provided that Customer shall be solely responsible for complying with any obligations to notify competent authorities or Data Subjects of the Personal Data Breach, where required); (vi) at the Customer’s request and subject to the Customer paying all of the Company’s fees at prevailing rates, and all expenses, and taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to the Company, promptly provide the Customer with all reasonable assistance necessary (A) to enable the Customer to notify any Personal Data Breaches affecting Customer Personal Data to the relevant Data Protection Authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, (B) for the fulfilment of the Customer’s obligation to respond to requests for the exercise of Data Subjects’ rights (provided that Customer shall be solely responsible for responding to such requests), (C) for the fulfilment of Customer’s obligation to keep Customer Personal Data secure, (D) to facilitate the conduct of data protection impact assessments and consultation with Data Protection Authorities for Customer Personal Data, in each case to the extent that the Customer is required to engage in such activities; (vii) only transfer Customer Personal Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions and, if requested to do so by Customer, ensure that the Company, as the data importer, enters into standard contractual clauses with Customer (as the data exporter), unless another transfer mechanism is used (such as the Privacy Shield); (viii) provide the Customer with all information necessary to enable the Customer to demonstrate compliance with its obligations under the GDPR, and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the Customer or an auditor mandated by the Customer (to the extent that such information is within the Company’s control and the Company is not precluded from disclosing it by applicable law, a duty of confidentiality, or any other obligation owed to a third party) and immediately inform the Customer if, in the Company’s opinion, an instruction infringes the GDPR or other European Union or Member State data protection provisions. Customer authorizes the Company to engage sub-Processors to perform specific services on the Company behalf which may require such sub-Processors to Process Customer Personal Data, provided that the Company shall enter into an agreement with the sub-Processor that imposes on the sub-Processor the same obligations that apply to the Company hereunder. The Company will inform the Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of sub-Processors, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, and Customer will have an opportunity to object to such changes on reasonable grounds within fifteen (15) business days after being notified. If the parties are unable to resolve such objection, either party may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to the other party. On termination or expiration of the Agreement, Customer instructs the Company to permanently and securely delete all Customer Personal Data in the possession or control of the Company or any of its sub-Processors, within a reasonable period of time (unless otherwise required by European Union or Member State law), except if the Customer requests an export of Customer Personal Data in a mutually agreed upon format within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such termination or expiration. The Customer acknowledges that the Company is reliant on the Customer for direction as to the extent to which the Company is entitled to Process Customer Personal Data on behalf of Customer in performance of the Services. Consequently the Company will not be liable under the Agreement for any claim brought by a Data Subject arising from any action or omission by the Company, to the extent that such action or omission resulted directly from the Customer’s instructions or from Customer’s failure to comply with its obligations under the applicable data protection law. For purposes of this provision, (A) “Controller,” “Data Subjects,” “Personal Data,” “Personal Data Breach,” “Processing,” “Processor” will each have the meaning set out by the GDPR, (B) “Customer Personal Data” means the Personal Data relating to hotel guests contained within Customer Data, the extent of which is determined and controlled by Customer in its sole discretion. Concerning the Processing of Customer Personal Data that is subject to the GDPR, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Data Protection Section 10(b) and any other terms of this Agreement, the provisions of this Data Protection Section 10(b) shall prevail.

What Our Customers Are Saying
“Design Hotels caters to a savvy, creative set of travelers—and each of our hotels are a reflection of that. The reason we love this collaboration with stayntouch is that we can offer our hotels innovative contactless technology and a cloud PMS that supports maximum operational flexibility, scalability, cost-efficiency, and a smoother guest experience. ”
Christian Malcher,
Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations
What Our Customers Are Saying
“Our former PMS was very challenging to use. When checking guests in, the staff could never raise their heads to look the guest in the eye because of all the screens that they had to click through. With [StayNTouch] our new mobile PMS, the process takes far fewer steps, and has enhanced our entire welcome and check-in experience. ”
DANIEL TENNANT,
FORMER GM AT HOTEL ON RIVINGTON
