Terms of Use

Last updated: September 2024

Note: Please read these Terms of Use carefully. If your Application is accepted by Team Engine, these Terms of Use will form part of a legally binding agreement between you and Team Engine relating to your access and use of the Engine Platform and the Engine Services.

Personal Data

All users of the Engine Platform are required to agree to these Terms of Use. Some Engine users are individuals such as crew, whereas others are companies or other legal entities. We process personal data about Engine users in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Some Engine users create and administer Projects through the Engine Platform. In doing so, they may use the Engine Platform to manage personal data relating to other Engine users (such as Project Participants who interact with a Project through the Engine Platform) or individuals who are not Engine users. We process this personal data on behalf of the Engine user who created the Project (or, if they transfer the Project to another user, on behalf of that New Project Administrator).

Our Data Processing Addendum at Schedule 1 at the end of these Terms of Use explains our respective responsibilities in relation to that Project Personal Data.

Where we control the purpose and means of processing, in particular, for the general operation of the Engine Platform, and administering user accounts, we shall be the data controller and will process that personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy as amended and notified to you from time to time. From time to time, we may be the controller in respect of certain personal data of Engine Users and may share that with you at the request of such Engine Users (for example where an existing Engine User whose account is not being administered by you communicates with you, or joins your Project as a Project Participant) in which case the terms set out in clause 5 below shall apply.
  3. Where we are a data processor and collect or process personal data from you or on your behalf (such as from or for Project Participants) you shall clearly inform the data subjects to whom personal data relates of such processing, provide them with a link to our Privacy Policy and secure and maintain all applicable consents, notices, permissions and licenses required for us to lawfully: (i) transfer Project Personal Data to or from us, and (ii) process Project Personal Data in accordance with your instructions and otherwise as reasonably necessary for us to provide the Engine Services.
  4. References in this addendum to “data processor”, “data controller”, “subprocessor”, “supervisory authority”, “personal data breach” and “personal data” shall have the meanings defined in the Data Protection Laws. References to the “GDPR” are references to the UK and/or EU GDPR (as applicable).
  5. Data Sharing

  6. Where Project Personal Data of which we are a controller is shared with you (such as by a Project Participant) you shall:
    • (a) process Project Personal Data fairly and lawfully and ensure you have legitimate grounds under the Data Protection Laws for the processing of Project Personal Data;
    • (b) provide clear and sufficient information to data subjects, in accordance with the Data Protection Laws, of the purposes for which you will process Project Personal Data, the legal basis for such purposes and such other information as is required by Data Protection Laws;
    • (c) not retain or process Project Personal Data for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as otherwise required by law;
    • (d) have in place appropriate technical and organisational security measures to prevent unauthorised or unlawful processing of the Project Personal Data and the accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, the Project Personal Data and to ensure a level of security appropriate to the harm which might result from such unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the Project Personal Data to be protected;
    • (e) ensure your personnel are appropriately trained to handle and process the Project Personal Data and have entered into confidentiality agreements relating to the processing of personal data;
    • (f) comply with obligations to report a personal data breach to the appropriate supervisory authority and (where applicable) data subjects under Article 33 of the GDPR and inform us of any personal data breach irrespective of whether there is a requirement to notify;
    • (g) provide reasonable assistance as is necessary to facilitate handling any personal data breach in an expeditious and compliant manner; and
    • (h) immediately inform us, and cooperate with us in the event of a dispute or claim brought by a data subject or supervisory authority concerning the processing of Project Personal Data.
  7. Where we receive a request from a data subject to exercise their rights in respect of Project Personal Data under Data Protection Law, we shall communicate that request to you, and you shall comply with it promptly in accordance with Data Protection Law and such other laws or regulation as may be applicable.
  8. We may inspect your arrangements for the processing of Project Personal Data and terminate the Agreement (or part thereof) where we reasonably consider that you are not processing Project Personal Data in accordance with this Agreement.

    9.1 only process Project Personal Data on your documented instructions (including those set out above and otherwise in our Agreement and those issued through your use of the Engine Platform and Engine Services), including in respect of transfers to a country outside of the UK or European Economic Area (EEA), unless processing is required by applicable laws in which case we shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, inform you of that legal requirement prior to the relevant processing;

    9.2 take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of staff who have access to personal data, ensuring all such individuals are subject to confidentiality undertakings or professional or statutory obligations of confidentiality;

    9.4 taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to us, we shall, to a reasonable extent, assist you (at your expense): (i) by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures for the fulfilment of your obligations to respond to requests to exercise data subject rights under the Data Protection Laws, and in particular Chapter III of GDPR, and (ii) in ensuring compliance with your obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of GDPR;

    9.5 (to the extent permitted by law) notify you without undue delay on becoming aware of a personal data breach relating to the Project Personal Data;

    9.6 destroy or, at your option and cost, return, all Project Personal Data in our possession (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, copies of any part of that personal data which we process as a controller for other Engine users) save where we are permitted or required to maintain copies under applicable law.

  12. We shall make available to you information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in clause 9, and allow for and contribute to audits (at your cost), conducted by you or an auditor designated by you. We shall satisfy the foregoing audit and information obligations by providing you with a copy of our most recent audit results to demonstrate compliance. We will maintain a record of any processing of Project Personal Data pursuant to Article 30(2) of GDPR.

We shall ensure that the arrangement between us and subprocessors is governed by a written agreement, including, to the extent required by applicable Data Protection Laws, terms which meet the requirements of Article 28(3) of the GDPR.
  14. To the extent we are a data processor, we shall notify you without undue delay and within 3 (three) business days if we or any subprocessor receives a request from a data subject under any Data Protection Law in respect of Project Personal Data.
  15. You shall indemnify us and keep us indemnified against all costs, damages, expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) incurred by us arising out of your or any of your users’ breach of this addendum, or applicable law (including Data Protection Laws) or non-compliance by you or any of your users with a request from a data subject in connection with their personal data. We shall not be liable for any claim brought by a data subject arising from any action or omission to the extent that such action or omission resulted from your instructions.
