comply with the law or a valid and binding order of a governmental body (such as a subpoena or court order).
If a governmental body sends SecureW2 a demand for Customer Data, SecureW2 will attempt to redirect the
governmental body to request that data directly from Customer. As part of this effort, SecureW2 may provide
Customers basic contact information to the governmental body. If compelled to disclose Customer Data to a
governmental body, then SecureW2 will give Customer reasonable notice of the demand to allow Customer to
seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy unless SecureW2 is legally prohibited from doing so.
-
Limitation of Access. SecureW2 restricts its personnel from processing Customer Data without authorization
by SecureW2 as described in this Agreement. SecureW2 imposes appropriate contractual obligations upon its
personnel, including relevant obligations regarding confidentiality, data protection and data security.
-
Sub-processors.
-
Appointment of Sub-processors. Customer generally authorizes the engagement of Sub-processors and
specifically consents to those listed at Annex III of the Standard Contractual Clauses attached hereto as of
the Effective Date. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (a) SecureW2’s Affiliates may be retained as
Sub-processors; and (b) SecureW2 and SecureW2’s Affiliates respectively may engage third-party
Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Services. SecureW2 or a SecureW2 Affiliate has
entered into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing data protection obligations not less
protective than those in the Agreement with respect to the protection of Customer Data to the extent
applicable to the nature of the Services provided by such Sub-processor.
-
Objection Right for New Sub-processors. Customer may object to SecureW2’s use of a new Sub-processor by
notifying SecureW2 promptly in writing within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, provided that such
objection is based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. In the event Customer objects to a new
Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentence, the parties will discuss Customers concerns in good
faith with a view to achieving resolution. If Customer can reasonably demonstrate that the new Sub-
processor is unable to Process Customer Personal Data in compliance with the terms of this DPA and SecureW2
cannot provide an alternative Sub-processor, or the parties are not otherwise able to achieve resolution as
provided in the preceding sentence, Customer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, Customer may terminate the
applicable Ordering Document(s) with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by SecureW2
without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor by providing written notice to SecureW2. SecureW2 will
refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of such Ordering Document(s) following
the effective date of termination with respect to such terminated Services, without imposing a penalty for
such termination on Customer.
-
Security Incident Notification.
-
Security Incident. Subject to applicable law, SecureW2 shall (a) notify Customer of a Security Incident
without undue delay after becoming aware of the Security Incident, and (b) take appropriate measures to
address the Security Incident, including measures to mitigate any adverse effects resulting from the
Security Incident.
-
SecureW2 Assistance. Subject to applicable law, to enable Customer to notify a Security Incident to
supervisory authorities or data subjects (as applicable), SecureW2 will cooperate with and assist Customer
by including in the notification under Section 6(a) such information about the Security Incident as SecureW2
is able to disclose to Customer, taking into account the nature of the processing, the information available
to SecureW2, and any restrictions on disclosing the information, such as confidentiality. Taking into
account the nature of the processing, Customer agrees that it is best able to determine the likely
consequences of a Security Incident.
-
Unsuccessful Security Incidents. Customer agrees that:
-
an unsuccessful Security Incident will not be subject to this Section. An unsuccessful Security Incident
is one that results in no unauthorized access to Customer Data or to any of SecureW2’s equipment or
facilities storing Customer Data, and could include, without limitation, pings and other broadcast
attacks on firewalls or edge servers, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts, denial of service
attacks, packet sniffing (or other unauthorised access to traffic data that does not result in access
beyond headers) or similar incidents; and
-
SecureW2’s obligation to report or respond to a Security Incident under this Section is not and will not
be construed as an acknowledgement by SecureW2 of any fault or liability of SecureW2 with respect to the
Security Incident.
-
Communication. Notification(s) of Security Incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of Customers
administrators by any means SecureW2 selects, including via email. It is Customers sole responsibility to
ensure Customers administrators maintain accurate contact information at all times.
-
Customer Responsibilities.
-
Compliance with Laws.
-
Within the scope of the Agreement and in its use of the Services, Customer will be responsible for
complying with all requirements that apply to it under applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to
its Processing of Personal Data and the Instructions it issues to SecureW2.
-
In particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees
that Customer will be solely responsible for: (i) the accuracy, quality, and legality of Customer Data
and the means by which Customer acquired Personal Data; (ii) complying with all necessary transparency
and lawfulness requirements under applicable Data Protection Laws for the collection and use of the
Personal Data, including obtaining any necessary consents and authorizations (particularly for use by
Customer for marketing purposes); (iii) ensuring Customer have the right to transfer, or provide access
to, the Personal Data to SecureW2 for Processing in accordance with the terms of the Agreement
(including this DPA); (iv) ensuring that Customers instructions to SecureW2 regarding the Processing of
Personal Data comply with applicable laws, including Data Protection Laws; and (v) complying with all
laws (including Data Protection Laws) applicable to any emails or other content created, sent or managed
through the Services, including those relating to obtaining consents (where required) to send emails,
the content of the emails and its email deployment practices. Customer will inform SecureW2 without
undue delay if it is not able to comply with its responsibilities under this sub-section (a) or
applicable Data Protection Laws.
-
Controller Instructions. The parties agree that the Agreement (including this DPA), together with Customers
use of the Services in accordance with the Agreement, constitute Customers complete and final Instructions
to SecureW2 in relation to the Processing of Personal Data, and additional instructions outside the scope of
the Instructions shall require prior written agreement between SecureW2 and Customer.
-
Liability.
-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this DPA, each partys and all of its Affiliates
liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or relating to this DPA, the Standard Contractual
Clauses, and any other data protection agreements in connection with the Agreement (if any), shall be
subject to any aggregate limitations on liability set out in the Agreement. Without limiting either of the
parties obligations under the Agreement, each party agrees that any regulatory penalties incurred by the one
party (the Incurring Party) in relation to the Customer Personal Data that arise as a result of, or in
connection with, the other partys failure to comply with its obligations under this DPA or any applicable
Data Protection Laws shall count toward and reduce the Incurring Partys liability under the Agreement as if
it were liability to the other party under the Agreement.
-
For the avoidance of doubt, SecureW2's total liability for all claims from the Customer and all of Customers
Affiliates arising out of or related to the Agreement and each DPA shall apply in the aggregate for all
claims under both the Agreement and all DPAs established under this Agreement, including by Customer and all
Customers Affiliates, and, in particular, shall not be understood to apply individually and severally to
Customer and/or to any of Customers Affiliate that is a contractual party to any such DPA.
-
Where a data subject asserts any claims against a party to this DPA in accordance with applicable Data
Protection Laws, the other party shall support in defending against such claims, where possible.
-
General.
-
This DPA is without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the parties under the Agreement, which shall
continue to have full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this DPA and the
terms of the Agreement, the terms of this DPA shall prevail so far as the subject matter concerns the
processing of Personal Data.
-
This DPA is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions and agreements between the parties with respect to
such subject matter. Other than in respect of statements made fraudulently, no other representations or
terms shall apply or form part of this DPA.
-
This DPA will continue in force until the termination of the Agreement (the Termination Date).
-
No modification of, amendment to, or waiver of any rights under the DPA will be effective unless in writing
and signed by an authorized signatory of each party.

SECTION II OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
-
Clause 8 - Data protection safeguards
The data exporter warrants that it has used reasonable efforts to determine that the data importer is able,
through the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures, to satisfy its obligations
under these Clauses.
-
8.1 Instructions
-
The data importer shall process the personal data only on documented instructions from the data exporter.
The data exporter may give such instructions throughout the duration of the contract.
-
The data importer shall immediately inform the data exporter if it is unable to follow those instructions.
-
8.2 Instructions
The data importer shall process the personal data only for the specific purpose(s) of the transfer, as set
out in Annex I.B, unless on further instructions from the data exporter.
-
8.3 Instructions
On request, the data exporter shall make a copy of these Clauses, including the Appendix as completed by the
Parties, available to the data subject free of charge. To the extent necessary to protect business secrets or
other confidential information, including the measures described in Annex II and personal data, the data
exporter may redact part of the text of the Appendix to these Clauses prior to sharing a copy, but shall
provide a meaningful summary where the data subject would otherwise not be able to understand the its content
or exercise his/her rights. On request, the Parties shall provide the data subject with the reasons for the
redactions, to the extent possible without revealing the redacted information. This Clause is without
prejudice to the obligations of the data exporter under Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. 8.4
Accuracy
If the data importer becomes aware that the personal data it has received is inaccurate, or has become
outdated, it shall inform the data exporter without undue delay. In this case, the data importer shall
cooperate with the data exporter to erase or rectify the data.
-
8.5 Duration of processing and erasure or return of data
Processing by the data importer shall only take place for the duration specified in Annex I.B. After the end
of the provision of the processing services, the data importer shall, at the choice of the data exporter,
delete all personal data processed on behalf of the data exporter and certify to the data exporter that it has
done so, or return to the data exporter all personal data processed on its behalf and delete existing copies.
Until the data is deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with these
Clauses. In case of local laws applicable to the data importer that prohibit return or deletion of the
personal data, the data importer warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and
will only process it to the extent and for as long as required under that local law. This is without prejudice
to Clause 14, in particular the requirement for the data importer under Clause 14(e) to notify the data
exporter throughout the duration of the contract if it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject
to laws or practices not in line with the requirements under Clause 14(a).
-
8.6 Security of processing
-
The data importer and, during transmission, also the data exporter shall implement appropriate technical
and organisational measures to ensure the security of the data, including protection against a breach of
security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access
to that data (hereinafter personal data breach). In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties
shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and
purpose(s) of processing and the risks involved in the processing for the data subjects. The Parties shall
in particular consider having recourse to encryption or pseudonymisation, including during transmission,
where the purpose of processing can be fulfilled in that manner. In case of pseudonymisation, the additional
information for attributing the personal data to a specific data subject shall, where possible, remain under
the exclusive control of the data exporter. In complying with its obligations under this paragraph, the data
importer shall at least implement the technical and organisational measures specified in Annex II. The data
importer shall carry out regular checks to ensure that these measures continue to provide an appropriate
level of security.
-
The data importer shall grant access to the personal data to members of its personnel only to the extent
strictly necessary for the implementation, management and monitoring of the contract. It shall ensure that
persons authorised to process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an
appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
-
In the event of a personal data breach concerning personal data processed by the data importer under these
Clauses, the data importer shall take appropriate measures to address the breach, including measures to
mitigate its adverse effects. The data importer shall also notify the data exporter without undue delay
after having become aware of the breach. Such notification shall contain the details of a contact point
where more information can be obtained, a description of the nature of the breach (including, where
possible, categories and approximate number of data subjects and personal data records concerned), its
likely consequences and the measures taken or proposed to address the breach including, where appropriate,
measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects. Where, and in so far as, it is not possible to provide
all information at the same time, the initial notification shall contain the information then available and
further information shall, as it becomes available, subsequently be provided without undue delay.
-
The data importer shall cooperate with and assist the data exporter to enable the data exporter to comply
with its obligations under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, in particular to notify the competent supervisory
authority and the affected data subjects, taking into account the nature of processing and the information
available to the data importer.
-
8.7 Sensitive data
Where the transfer involves personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or
philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data, or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely
identifying a natural person, data concerning health or a persons sex life or sexual orientation, or data
relating to criminal convictions and offences (hereinafter sensitive data), the data importer shall apply the
specific restrictions and/or additional safeguards described in Annex I.B.
-
8.8 Onward transfers
The data importer shall only disclose the personal data to a third party on documented instructions from the
data exporter. In addition, the data may only be disclosed to a third party located outside the European Union
(in the same country as the data importer or in another third country, hereinafter onward transfer) if the
third party is or agrees to be bound by these Clauses, under the appropriate Module, or if:
- the onward transfer is to a country benefitting from an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of
Regulation (EU) 2016/679 that covers the onward transfer;
- the third party otherwise ensures appropriate safeguards pursuant to Articles 46 or 47 of Regulation (EU)
2016/679 with respect to the processing in question;
- the onward transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims in the context
of specific administrative, regulatory or judicial proceedings; or
- the onward transfer is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another
natural person.
Any onward transfer is subject to compliance by the data importer with all the other safeguards under these
Clauses, in particular purpose limitation.
-
8.9 Documentation and compliance
- The data importer shall promptly and adequately deal with enquiries from the data exporter that relate to
the processing under these Clauses.
- The Parties shall be able to demonstrate compliance with these Clauses. In particular, the data importer
shall keep appropriate documentation on the processing activities carried out on behalf of the data
exporter.
- The data importer shall make available to the data exporter all information necessary to demonstrate
compliance with the obligations set out in these Clauses and at the data exporters request, allow for and
contribute to audits of the processing activities covered by these Clauses, at reasonable intervals or if
there are indications of non-compliance. In deciding on a review or audit, the data exporter may take into
account relevant certifications held by the data importer.
- The data exporter may choose to conduct the audit by itself or mandate an independent auditor. Audits may
include inspections at the premises or physical facilities of the data importer and shall, where
appropriate, be carried out with reasonable notice.
- The Parties shall make the information referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c), including the results of any
audits, available to the competent supervisory authority on request.
-
Clause 9 - Use of sub-processors
-
The data importer has the data exporters general authorisation for the engagement of sub- processor(s) from
an agreed list. The data importer shall specifically inform the data exporter in writing of any intended
changes to that list through the addition or replacement of sub- processors at least 30 days in advance,
thereby giving the data exporter sufficient time to be able to object to such changes prior to the
engagement of the sub-processor(s). The data importer shall provide the data exporter with the information
necessary to enable the data exporter to exercise its right to object.
- Where the data importer engages a sub-processor to carry out specific processing activities (on behalf of
the data exporter), it shall do so by way of a written contract that provides for, in substance, the same
data protection obligations as those binding the data importer under these Clauses, including in terms of
third-party beneficiary rights for data subjects.[2] The Parties agree
that, by complying with this Clause,
the data importer fulfils its obligations under Clause 8.8. The data importer shall ensure that the
sub-processor complies with the obligations to which the data importer is subject pursuant to these Clauses.
- The data importer shall provide, at the data exporters request, a copy of such a sub- processor agreement
and any subsequent amendments to the data exporter. To the extent necessary to protect business secrets or
other confidential information, including personal data, the data importer may redact the text of the
agreement prior to sharing a copy.
- The data importer shall remain fully responsible to the data exporter for the performance of the
sub-processors obligations under its contract with the data importer. The data importer shall notify the
data exporter of any failure by the sub-processor to fulfil its obligations under that contract.
- The data importer shall agree a third -party beneficiary clause with the sub-processor whereby - in the
event the data importer has factually disappeared, ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent - the data
exporter shall have the right to terminate the sub-processor contract and to instruct the sub-processor to
erase or return the personal data.
-
Clause 10 - Data subject rights
- The data importer shall promptly notify the data exporter of any request it has received from a data
subject. It shall not respond to that request itself unless it has been authorised to do so by the data
exporter.
- The data importer shall assist the data exporter in fulfilling its obligations to respond to data subjects
requests for the exercise of their rights under Regulation (EU) 2016/679. In this regard, the Parties shall
set out in Annex II the appropriate technical and organisational measures, taking into account the nature of
the processing, by which the assistance shall be provided, as well as the scope and the extent of the
assistance required.
- In fulfilling its obligations under paragraphs (a) and (b), the data importer shall comply with the
instructions from the data exporter.
-
Clause 11 - Redress
- The data importer shall inform data subjects in a transparent and easily accessible format, through
individual notice or on its website, of a contact point authorised to handle complaints. It shall deal
promptly with any complaints it receives from a data subject.
- In case of a dispute between a data subject and one of the Parties as regards compliance with these
Clauses, that Party shall use its best efforts to resolve the issue amicably in a timely fashion. The
Parties shall keep each other informed about such disputes and, where appropriate, cooperate in resolving
them.
-
Where the data subject invokes a third-party beneficiary right pursuant to Clause 3, the data importer shall
accept the decision of the data subject to:
- lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the Member State of his/her habitual residence or
place of work, or the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Clause 13;
- refer the dispute to the competent courts within the meaning of Clause 18.
- The Parties accept that the data subject may be represented by a not-for-profit body, organisation or

shall be entitled to receive compensation, for any material or non-material damages the data exporter or the
data importer (or its sub-processor) causes the data subject by breaching the third-party beneficiary rights
under these Clauses. This is without prejudice to the liability of the data exporter and, where the data
exporter is a processor acting on behalf of a controller, to the liability of the controller under
Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, as applicable.

- Where the data exporter is established in an EU Member State: The supervisory authority with
responsibility for ensuring compliance by the data exporter with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 as regards the
data transfer, as indicated in Annex I.C, shall act as competent supervisory authority.
Where the data exporter is not established in an EU Member State, but falls within the territorial scope of
application of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 in accordance with its Article 3(2) and has appointed a
representative pursuant to Article 27(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679: The supervisory authority of the
Member State in which the representative within the meaning of Article 27(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 is

Where the data exporter is not established in an EU Member State, but falls within the territorial scope of
application of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 in accordance with its Article 3(2) without however having to
appoint a representative pursuant to Article 27(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679: The supervisory authority of
one of the Member States in which the data subjects whose personal data is transferred under these Clauses

SECTION III LOCAL LAWS AND OBLIGATIONS IN CASE OF ACCESS BY PUBLIC AUTHORITIES
-
Clause 14 - Local laws and practices affecting compliance with the Clause
- The Parties warrant that they have no reason to believe that the laws and practices in the third country
of destination applicable to the processing of the personal data by the data importer, including any
requirements to disclose personal data or measures authorising access by public authorities, prevent the
data importer from fulfilling its obligations under these Clauses. This is based on the understanding that
laws and practices that respect the essence of the fundamental rights and freedoms and do not exceed what is
necessary and proportionate in a democratic society to safeguard one of the objectives listed in Article
23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, are not in contradiction with these Clauses.
-
The Parties declare that in providing the warranty in paragraph (a), they have taken due account in
particular of the following elements:
- the specific circumstances of the transfer, including the length of the processing chain, the number
of actors involved and the transmission channels used; intended onward transfers; the type of recipient;
the purpose of processing; the categories and format of the transferred personal data; the economic
sector in which the transfer occurs; the storage location of the data transferred;
- the laws and practices of the third country of destination including those requiring the disclosure of
data to public authorities or authorising access by such authorities relevant in light of the specific
circumstances of the transfer, and the applicable limitations and safeguards[3];the laws and practices
of the third country of destination including those requiring the disclosure of data to public
authorities or authorising access by such authorities relevant in light of the specific circumstances of
the transfer, and the applicable limitations and safeguards[3];
- any relevant contractual, technical or organisational safeguards put in place to supplement the
safeguards under these Clauses, including measures applied during transmission and to the processing of
the personal data in the country of destination.
- The data importer warrants that, in carrying out the assessment under paragraph (b), it has made its best
efforts to provide the data exporter with relevant information and agrees that it will continue to cooperate
with the data exporter in ensuring compliance with these Clauses.
- The Parties agree to document the assessment under paragraph (b) and make it available to the competent
supervisory authority on request.
- The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter promptly if, after having agreed to these Clauses and
for the duration of the contract, it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or
practices not in line with the requirements under paragraph (a), including following a change in the laws of
the third country or a measure (such as a disclosure request) indicating an application of such laws in
practice that is not in line with the requirements in paragraph (a).
- Following a notification pursuant to paragraph (e), or if the data exporter otherwise has reason to
believe that the data importer can no longer fulfil its obligations under these Clauses, the data exporter
shall promptly identify appropriate measures (e.g. technical or organisational measures to ensure security
and confidentiality) to be adopted by the data exporter and/or data importer to address the situation. The

The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter and, where possible, the data subject promptly (if
necessary with the help of the data exporter) if it:
- receives a legally binding request from a public authority, including judicial authorities, under the
laws of the country of destination for the disclosure of personal data transferred pursuant to these
Clauses; such notification shall include information about the personal data requested, the requesting
authority, the legal basis for the request and the response provided; or
- becomes aware of any direct access by public authorities to personal data transferred pursuant to
these Clauses in accordance with the laws of the country of destination; such notification shall include
all information available to the importer.
- If the data importer is prohibited from notifying the data exporter and/or the data subject under the laws
of the country of destination, the data importer agrees to use its best efforts to obtain a waiver of the
prohibition, with a view to communicating as much information as possible, as soon as possible. The data
importer agrees to document its best efforts in order to be able to demonstrate them on request of the data
exporter.
- Where permissible under the laws of the country of destination, the data importer agrees to provide the
data exporter, at regular intervals for the duration of the contract, with as much relevant information as
possible on the requests received (in particular, number of requests, type of data requested, requesting
authority/ies, whether requests have been challenged and the outcome of such challenges, etc.).
- The data importer agrees to preserve the information pursuant to paragraphs (a) to (c) for the duration of
the contract and make it available to the competent supervisory authority on request.

14(e) and Clause 16 to inform the data exporter promptly where it is unable to comply with these Clauses.
-
15.2 Review of legality and data minimisation
- The data importer agrees to review the legality of the request for disclosure, in particular whether it
remains within the powers granted to the requesting public authority, and to challenge the request if, after
careful assessment, it concludes that there are reasonable grounds to consider that the request is unlawful
under the laws of the country of destination, applicable obligations under international law and principles
of international comity. The data importer shall, under the same conditions, pursue possibilities of appeal.
When challenging a request, the data importer shall seek interim measures with a view to suspending the
effects of the request until the competent judicial authority has decided on its merits. It shall not
disclose the personal data requested until required to do so under the applicable procedural rules. These
requirements are without prejudice to the obligations of the data importer under Clause 14(e).
- The data importer agrees to document its legal assessment and any challenge to the request for disclosure
and, to the extent permissible under the laws of the country of destination, make the documentation
available to the data exporter. It shall also make it available to the competent supervisory authority on
request.
