1. Background
1.1 The customer (data controller) and eloomi (data processor) have entered into an agreement regarding the data controllers’ access to the eloomi services delivered as a software as a service application. The data controller will use the data processor’s services according to the eloomi agreement (Agreement) and eloomi terms and conditions (Terms), from now on unified called the Master Agreement. This Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is enclosed as an addendum to the master agreement and does not entail any changes in the commercial terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties in the master agreement.

2. Purpose
2.1 The data processor shall according to the master agreement provide the services agreed upon as governed by the master agreement.
2.2 In order for the data processor to deliver products and services to the data controller and meet the requirements pursuant to the master agreement, the data processor will, from time to time, receive access to and process personal data on behalf of the data controller.
