Lime and the Client shall, in accordance with GDPR requirements, enter into a data processing agreement which governs Lime’s processing of the Client’s personal data in accordance with the Agreement. The data processing agreement constitutes an appendix to the Agreement.
8.2 In the relationship between Lime and the Client, the Client holds all rights to the Client’s Data and Lime has no rights beyond those stated in the Agreement to the Client’s Data or parts thereof.

Such information processing and communication with Users may involve personal data processing for which Lime is the data controller. The Client hereby explicitly consents to Lime processing personal data for communication purposes. Lime’s processing of personal data for these purposes is limited to the extent to which it is necessary in order to achieve these purposes. Lime will apply appropriate security measures during data processing. Lime may enlist a data processor for data processing. If Lime enlists a data processor for data processing, Lime will enter into a data processing agreement with the data processor. The Client undertakes to inform Users about Lime’s Privacy Policy, which describes its processing of personal data.
