Version 1.3 – 19 August 2025

Disclaimer: This English version of the Data Processing Agreement is provided for convenience only. In the event of any inconsistency, ambiguity, or dispute between this English version and the Dutch original, the Dutch version shall prevail and be legally binding.

1. Introduction

This Data Processing Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legally binding document that forms an integral part of, and supplements, the existing agreement between Catcher24 B.V. (“Catcher24”) and the Client.
This Agreement concerns the services in which Catcher24, in the performance of its services, processes personal data on behalf of the Client (“Services”).

2. Definitions

The terms used in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in the existing agreement.
In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the existing agreement, this Agreement shall prevail, unless mandatory legal provisions require otherwise.

3. Subject of Processing

Catcher24 shall process personal data solely on behalf of the Client (the organization receiving the Services) and in accordance with the purposes set out in this Agreement and in Annex 1.

Catcher24 acts as the Processor, while the Client acts as the Controller.
The nature, purposes, duration, and categories of processing are specified in Annex 1.
Processing shall take place only on the basis of the (written and/or digital) agreement with the Client, unless a legal obligation requires otherwise. In such case, Catcher24 shall inform the Client in advance, unless prohibited by law.

The personal data provided by the Controller (Client) to Catcher24 must:

a. be lawfully obtained and lawfully shared with Catcher24;
b. be accurate and up to date;
c. be sufficiently communicated to data subjects regarding the processing activities.

4. Obligations of Catcher24

Catcher24 shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, destruction, alteration, or unauthorized access (see also Annex 2).

Data Subject Rights:
Catcher24 shall assist the Client in handling requests from data subjects regarding access, rectification, erasure, or portability of their data.

Sub-processors:
Catcher24 shall inform the Client as soon as possible of the engagement of any new sub-processor. The Client has the right to object within a reasonable period. Catcher24 shall ensure that sub-processors are bound by the same obligations as those set out in this Agreement.

Processing on Instruction Only:
Catcher24 shall process personal data solely in accordance with the written instructions and purposes agreed with the Client.

Confidentiality:
Catcher24 shall ensure that employees and third parties who have access to personal data are bound by an appropriate duty of confidentiality.

Support with DPIAs:
Catcher24 shall, upon request, assist the Client in carrying out a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) and, if necessary, in consultations with the supervisory authority.

5. International Transfers of Personal Data

If personal data are processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA), Catcher24 shall ensure that an adequate level of protection is guaranteed in accordance with Chapter V GDPR.

This may include the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

Catcher24 shall inform the Client if such transfer takes place or is intended to take place.

6. Use of Sub-processors

The Client grants Catcher24 permission to engage the sub-processors listed in Annex 1.

If Catcher24 intends to engage a new sub-processor or replace an existing one, it shall notify the Client in a timely manner via the usual (digital) communication channels. The Client has the right to object within a reasonable period.

Catcher24 shall ensure that each sub-processor is bound by the same obligations as set out in this Agreement, particularly regarding data protection and security.

If no resolution is reached following an objection, the Client shall have the right to terminate the agreement for that part of the Services involving the sub-processor concerned.

7. Termination and Deletion of Data

Upon termination of the Services or at the Client’s request, Catcher24 shall securely delete all personal data, unless a legal obligation requires the data to be retained.

The obligations of this Agreement shall remain in effect after termination insofar as necessary to ensure compliance with the GDPR.

Any disputes arising from or in connection with this Agreement shall be submitted to the competent court in Amsterdam.
