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 that shall apply between the parties can be found here.
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.

8.4 Lime shall show due care to protect the transfer of information between the Client and the Services. Since the internet is an open system, Lime cannot and does not guarantee that third parties may not come into possession of or make changes to the Client’s Data or the transfer. Lime assumes no liability for such unintentional misuse, disclosure or loss of the Client’s Data.
8.5 Lime, or where applicable its subcontractors, own all rights to Lime’s Data. The Client must not, without Lime’s prior written approval, export Lime’s Data in any format outside of the Service, regardless of whether such data is included in the Services or has been purchased separately by the Client. Upon request, Lime may, at its own discretion, allow its data to be exported to the Client’s other internal systems. Upon receiving such a request, Lime may, at its sole discretion, limit the amount of its data that may be exported. Information about such restrictions are provided on Lime’s website. The export of Lime’s Data to third parties or otherwise outside the Client’s internal software environment is never permitted. Lime’s assistance with the exporting of Lime’s Data is covered by the rolling consultancy fee according to the current price list.
8.6 Lime may gather information about the use of the Services through automated data collection tools. Lime gathers and uses such information in order to protect, maintain and improve products and services and for various statistical and analytical purposes.

Lime may also contact the User with information relevant to the Services and gather information on the use of the Services through automated data collection tools for the purposes of contacting Users with information relevant to the Services, including targeted product news and information about relevant functions in the Services. 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 (link).
8.7 Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement, including the data processing agreement, Lime shall not sell, rent, rent out or otherwise make the Client’s Data available to third parties, except in the following situations: (i) in order to comply with applicable laws, regulations, guidelines or decisions by public authorities, (ii) in order to investigate or prevent security threats or fraud, and (iii) if it is necessary for the restructuring, merger, sale or purchase of some or all parts of Lime. In situations where Lime passes on the Client’s Data in accordance with clause 6, Lime shall inform the Client that the Client’s Data has been passed on and, as far as possible, ensure that the receiving party adheres to these Terms and Conditions, provided that this complies with applicable laws.
8.8 The Client can request a copy of the Client’s Data. A request can be made at any point during the term of the Agreement, but must be made no fewer than thirty (30) days before the termination of the Agreement.
