The parties agree that Malaysia Airlines is the Controller of Personal Data and that the Merchant will Process Malaysia Airlines’ Personal Data on behalf of Malaysia Airlines as its Processor.
-
To the extent that the Merchant provides Services and/or Products, and Processes Malaysia Airlines’ Personal Data provided by or on behalf of Malaysia Airlines or its group of companies under Malaysia Aviation Group (“MAG”) through Journify platform or by any other means pursuant to or in connection with the Agreement, then in such circumstances, that group of companies under MAG will be the Data Controller of the Personal Data provided to the Merchant and the group of companies under MAG will have the same rights that Malaysia Airlines has under this Addendum.
-
Malaysia Airlines instructs the Merchant to process Malaysia Airlines’ Personal Data within Journify platform or any other means to the extent necessary for the provision of Services or Products under the Agreement and in a manner consistent with the Agreement.
-
The Merchant must:
- comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws in the Processing of Malaysia Airlines’ Personal Data;
- not Process Malaysia Airlines’ Personal Data other than for the purpose of performing obligations under the Agreement or on Malaysia Airlines’ documented instructions, unless Processing is required by the relevant authorities or European Union or Member State law to which the Merchant is subject, in which case the Merchant shall to the extent permitted by such law inform Malaysia Airlines of that legal requirement before the relevant Processing of Malaysia Airlines’ Personal Data;
- notify Malaysia Airlines immediately if, in the Merchant’s reasonable opinion, the Merchant believes that any documented instructions issued by Malaysia Airlines infringe any Data Protection Laws;
- comply with its obligations under Data Protection Laws and must not provide the Services or Products in a manner that causes Malaysia Airlines to violate any Data Protection Laws; and
- not transfer any Malaysia Airlines’ Personal Data to any country or territory other than on Malaysia Airlines’ documented instructions and in accordance with the Data Protection Laws.

Merchant shall provide sixty (60) days' prior notice by email to Malaysia Airlines of any addition of a new Subprocessor to the Subprocessor List.
- If Malaysia Airlines objects in writing to the Merchant's proposed use of a new Subprocessor, the Merchant will use reasonable efforts to refrain from permitting such proposed Subprocessor to Process Malaysia Airlines Personal Data without adversely impacting the offering of Services or Products or/and Malaysia Airlines. If the Merchant determines that it cannot avoid such an adverse impact despite such reasonable efforts, the Merchant shall notify Malaysia Airlines of such determination. Upon receipt of such notice, Malaysia Airlines may terminate all or any part of the Agreement without penalty or liability (other than for fees due and owing to the Merchant for Services or Products offered prior to such termination) effective immediately upon written notice of such termination to the Merchant. The Merchant shall refund Malaysia Airlines any prepaid fees for the period following the effective date of termination.
