Paperturn’s current list of Sub-Processors used to process Personal Data can be viewed here. The Sub-processor List includes the identities of the Sub-processors and their entity’s country. The Customer is deemed to authorise the Processor’s Sub-Processors upon first use of the Services. Paperturn agrees to provide notice to the Customer when adding or making changes to the Subprocessors; this notice will be given via email.
(5.3) Agreements with Sub-processors Paperturn will enter into a written agreement with each Subprocessor that contains data protection obligations equivalent to those in this DPA. Paperturn will be liable for the actions and omissions of its Subprocessors undertaken in connection with Paperturn’s performance under this DPA to the same extent Paperturn would be liable if performing the Services directly.
(5.4) Objection to New Sub-processors The Customer may reasonably object to Paperturn’s use of a new Sub-processor, for reasons relating to the protection of Personal Data intended to be Processed by such Sub-processor, by notifying Paperturn promptly in writing within seven (7) days after receipt of notification of new Sub-Processor. The written objection shall include reasons for objecting to the Processor’s use of such a new Sub-processor. Failure to object to the new Sub-processor in writing within seven (7) days following Processor’s notice, shall be deemed as an acceptance of the new Sub-Processor. In the event the Customer reasonably objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, the Processor will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Customer. If Processor is unable to make available such change within thirty (30) days, Customer may, as a sole remedy, terminate the Agreement and this DPA with respect only to those elements of the Services which cannot be provided by Processor without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor, by providing written notice to Processor. All amounts outstanding under the Agreement before the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to Processor. Until a decision is made regarding the new Sub-processor, Processor may temporarily suspend the Processing of the affected Personal Data and/or suspend access to the Services. The Customer will have no further claims against the Processor due to the termination of the Agreement (including, without limitation, requesting refunds) and/or the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph.
(6.2) Data Protection Impact Assessment Upon Customer’s reasonable request, Paperturn shall provide Customer, at Customer’s cost, with reasonable cooperation and assistance needed to fulfil Customer’s obligation under the GDPR or the UK GDPR (as applicable) to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to Customer’s use of the Services, to the extent Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to Paperturn. Paperturn shall provide, at Customer’s cost, reasonable assistance to Customer in the cooperation or prior consultation with the Supervisory Authority in the performance of its tasks relating to this Section 6.2, to the extent required under the GDPR or the UK GDPR, as applicable.

a) Access Control
i) Preventing Unauthorised Product Access
- Outsourced processing: We host our Service with outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. Additionally, we maintain contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Service in accordance with our DPA. We rely on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.
- Physical and environmental security: We host our product infrastructure with multi-tenant, outsourced infrastructure providers. The physical and environmental security controls are audited for ISO 27001 compliance, among other Certifications.
- Authentication: We implement a uniform password policy for our customer products. Customers who interact with the products via the user interface must authenticate before accessing non-public customer data.
- Authorization: Customer Data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to Customers via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model in each of our products is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access relevant features, views, and customization options. Authorization to data sets is performed through validating the user’s permissions against the attributes associated with each data set.
- Application Programming Interface (API) access: Public product APIs may be accessed using an API key.
ii) Preventing Unauthorised Product Use
We implement industry standard access controls and detection capabilities for the internal networks that support its products.
- Access controls: Network access control mechanisms are designed to prevent network traffic using unauthorised protocols from reaching the product infrastructure. The technical measures implemented differ between infrastructure providers and include Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) implementations, security group assignment, and traditional firewall rules.
- Intrusion detection and prevention: We implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to protect our Customer’s flipbooks in their flipbook viewer. The WAF is designed to identify and prevent attacks against publicly available network services.
- Static code analysis: Security reviews of code stored in our source code repositories is performed, checking for coding best practices and identifiable software flaws.
iii) Limitations of Privilege & Authorization Requirements
- Product access: A subset of our employees have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to a subset of employees is to provide effective customer support, to troubleshoot potential problems, to detect and respond to security incidents and implement data security. Access is enabled via specific
