For the purpose of the CCPA (and to the extent applicable), Partner or Customer is the Business and Univonix is the Service Provider.

Processing of Personal Data and Compliance with Data Protection Law

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, the Partner shall not share any Personal Data with Univonix that contains Personal Data relating to children under 16 years old.
- As between the parties, the Partner or Customer undertakes, accepts, and agrees that the Data Subjects do not have a direct relationship with Univonix and that Univonix relies on Partner’s and Customers lawful basis (as required under Data Protection Law). In the event consent is needed under Data Protection Law, the Partner or Customer shall ensure that it obtains a proper act of consent from Data Subjects and present all necessary and appropriate notices in accordance with applicable Data Protection Law and other relevant privacy requirements in order to Process the Data and enable the lawful transfer and Processing of the Data to and by Univonix, as well as where applicable, provide the Data Subjects with the ability to opt out.

No Sale of Personal Information
It is hereby agreed that any sharing of Personal Data between the parties is made solely in order to fulfill a Business Purpose and Univonix does not receive or process any Personal Data in consideration for the Service. Thus, such Processing of Personal Data shall not be considered as a “Sale” of Personal Information under the CCPA.

In case the Partner or Customer has not objected to the adding or replacing of a Sub-Processor within five (5) days of Univonix’s notice, such Sub-Processor shall be considered approved by the Partner or Customer. In the event the Partner or Customer objects to the adding or replacing of a Sub-Processor, Univonix may, under Univonix’s sole discretion, suggest the engagement of a different Sub-Processor for the same course of services, or otherwise terminate the Agreement.
- Univonix shall, where it engages any Sub-Processor, impose, through a legally binding contract between Univonix and the Sub-Processor, data protection obligations similar to those set out in this DPA.
