Introduction and Applicability

This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") forms part of the Tiquo Terms of Service or any other written or electronic agreement between Tiquo Ltd ("Tiquo", the Processor) and the customer (the "Controller") governing the use of the Tiquo platform and related services (the "Agreement").

This DPA automatically applies to all customers who use the Tiquo services. By continuing to use the Tiquo platform after the Effective Date, the Controller agrees to this DPA.

This DPA is made pursuant to the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR, and applicable data protection laws. It sets out the obligations of each Party in relation to the processing of Personal Data.

1. Parties

• Controller: Any customer using the Tiquo platform, as identified in the Agreement.
• Processor: Tiquo Ltd, incorporated in England and Wales with registered office at Flat C, 26 Old Gloucester Street, London, England, WC1N 3AN, company number 16500553.

2. Background and Purpose

2.1 The Controller engages Tiquo to provide a unified management platform for hospitality and wellness businesses (including hotels, restaurants, spas, and venues), which requires Tiquo to process Personal Data on behalf of the Controller.

2.2 This DPA supplements and forms part of the Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA prevails to the extent of the conflict, except where the Agreement provides greater protection for Personal Data.

3. Definitions

Unless otherwise defined, terms in this DPA have the meaning given in the UK GDPR.

• Applicable Data Protection Law: All data protection and privacy laws applicable to a Party, including the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and Data Protection Act 2018.

• TOMs: The technical and organisational measures described in Annex 2.
• Sub-processor: Any third party engaged by Tiquo to process Personal Data on behalf of the Controller.
• SCCs: The European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Decision (EU) 2021/914) and, where applicable, the UK Addendum issued by the ICO.

5.2 Access to Personal Data is restricted to those with a legitimate business need.

6. Security Measures

Tiquo implements appropriate technical and organisational measures (TOMs) to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, as described in Annex 2. These measures may be updated to reflect technological progress without materially reducing protection.

7. Sub-Processing

7.1 The Controller grants Tiquo general authorisation to engage Sub-processors.

• Cooperating with Supervisory Authorities;
• Providing information and access for compliance verification (see Clause 11).

Tiquo shall notify the Controller without undue delay after becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach and shall provide information regarding the nature, consequences, and remedial actions. Tiquo shall cooperate to mitigate and remedy the breach.

10. International Transfers

Tiquo shall not transfer Personal Data outside the UK or EEA except where lawful transfer mechanisms are in place, including adequacy decisions, SCCs, or the UK Addendum, as described in Annex 4.

11. Audits and Information Requests

Tiquo will make available all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance. The Controller may request audits under reasonable notice and frequency. Independent third-party certifications (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2) may satisfy audit requirements.

12. Deletion or Return of Personal Data

Upon termination or expiry of the Agreement, Tiquo will delete or return all Personal Data within the timeframes in Annex 6, unless retention is required by law.

Each Party's liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations in the Agreement, except where prohibited by Applicable Data Protection Law.

14. Updates and Changes

Tiquo may update this DPA (including Annexes) to reflect legal or operational changes by providing prior written or public notice. Continued use of the services after such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated DPA.
