    3. Vendor Data SCCs.

       If Customer Processes Vendor Data relating to an EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland data subject (including, without limitation, the transfer of such Vendor Data from the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland to a third country not providing an adequate level of protection) outside of the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, the Processing will be further governed by Schedule II, with Vendor as data exporter and Customer as data importer (together with all Appendixes and Annexes thereto, and as the same may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, “Vendor Data SCCs”), which is incorporated by reference into this DPA solely with respect to Vendor Data relating to EEA, United Kingdom and/or Switzerland data subjects.  If there is any conflict between (x) the terms and conditions of either this DPA or the applicable Service Agreement(s), on the one hand, and (y) the terms and conditions of the Vendor Data SCCs, on the other hand, then, with respect to Vendor Data relating to an EEA, United Kingdom, and/or Switzerland data subject(s), the terms and conditions of the Vendor Data SCCs will prevail and control.  Customer may only transfer Vendor Data relating to an EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland data subject outside the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland in compliance with Applicable Laws and the Vendor Data SCCs.

    4. CCPA.  Without limiting any of the restrictions on or obligations of Vendor under this DPA, under any of the Service Agreements, or under Applicable Laws, with respect to Customer Data relating to a California “consumer” (as defined by CCPA) or household (“CCPA Personal Data”):

      1. Customer shall be disclosing such CCPA Personal Data under the applicable Service Agreement(s) to Vendor for a “business purpose” (as defined by CCPA), and Vendor shall Process such CCPA Personal Data solely on behalf of Customer and only as necessary to perform such business purpose for Customer; and

      2. Vendor shall not: (i) “sell” (as defined by CCPA) CCPA Personal Data; or (ii) retain, use, or disclose CCPA Personal Data (x) for any purpose (including a “commercial purpose” (as defined by CCPA)) other than for the specific purpose of performing for Customer the services specified in the particular Service Agreement(s) or (y) outside of the direct business relationship between Vendor and Customer; Vendor certifies that it understands the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.3(b) and shall comply with them; and

      3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this DPA (including, for purposes of clarification and without limitation, clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.3), in no event shall Vendor process any CCPA Personal Data in such a manner as would constitute (i) a sale (as defined by CCPA) of CCPA Personal Data by Customer to Vendor or (ii) on or after January 1, 2023, the sharing (as defined under CCPA (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020)) of CCPA Personal Data by Customer with Vendor; and

      4. If directed by Customer with regard to a particular California consumer or household, Vendor shall delete the CCPA Personal Data of such consumer or household.

    5. Changes in Applicable Laws.

       If, due to any change in Applicable Laws, a Party reasonably believes that (a) Vendor ceases to be able to provide a Service(s) in whole or in part (e.g, with respect to a particular jurisdiction) and/or Customer ceases to be able to use a Service(s) in whole or in part under the then-current terms and conditions of the applicable Service Agreement(s) and this DPA, each Party may terminate the applicable Service Agreement(s) (in whole or, if reasonably practicable, in part).

  3. Security.  

    1. Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, each Party will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks. Such measures will include reasonable administrative, physical, and technical security controls (including those required by Applicable Laws) that prevent the collection, use, disclosure, or access to Personal Data and Customer confidential information that the Service Agreements do not expressly authorize, including maintaining a comprehensive information security program that safeguards Personal Data and Customer confidential information. These security measures include, but are not limited to: (i) the pseudonymization and encryption of personal data; (ii) the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services; and (iii) the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident. 

    2. When assessing the appropriate level of security, account shall be taken in particular of the risks that are presented by processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

Customer shall have the right to defend such action in lieu of and/or on behalf of Vendor. Customer may, if it so chooses, seek a protective order. Vendor shall reasonably cooperate with Customer in such defense.

  5. Notifications.

    1. Security Incidents. 

      Vendor has and will maintain a security incident response plan that includes procedures to be followed in the event of a Security Incident. Vendor will provide Customer with written notice promptly after discovering a Security Incident (including those affecting Vendor or its Sub-Processors), including any information that Customer is required by law to provide to an applicable regulatory agency or to the individuals whose personal data was involved in the Security Incident.

    2. Data Subject Requests.

      Vendor shall (i) promptly notify Customer about any request under Applicable Law(s) with respect to Customer Data received from or on behalf of the applicable data subject and (ii) reasonably cooperate with Customer’s reasonable requests in connection with data subject requests with respect to Customer Data. Vendor shall assist Customer, through appropriate technical and organizational measures, to fulfill its obligations with respect to requests of data subjects seeking to exercise rights under Applicable Law with respect to Customer Data.

    3. Vendor shall not have Customer Data Processed by a Sub-Processor unless such Sub-Processor is bound by a written agreement with Vendor that includes data protection obligations at least as protective as those contained in this DPA and the applicable Service Agreement(s) and that meet the requirements of Applicable Laws. Vendor is and shall remain fully liable to Customer for any failure by any Sub-Processor to fulfill Vendor’s data protection obligations under Applicable Laws.

    4. Vendor provides a list of all Sub-Processors who access Customer Data, available at:

      https://trust.goodstack.io/ (the “Website”). Customer specifically authorizes and instructs Vendor to engage the Sub-Processors listed on the Website as of the Effective Date. Vendor will notify Customer of any changes to the Sub-Processors listed on the Website and grant Customer the opportunity to object to such change. Upon Customer’s request, Vendor will provide all information necessary to demonstrate that the Sub-Processors will meet all requirements pursuant to Section 6.1. In the case Customer objects to any Sub-Processor, Vendor can choose to either not engage the Sub-Processor or to terminate this DPA with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

    5. Third-party providers that maintain IT systems whereby access to Customer Data is not needed but can technically also not be excluded do not qualify as Sub-Processors within the meaning of this Section 6. They can be engaged based on regular confidentiality undertakings and subject to Vendor’s reasonable monitoring.

  6. Sub-Processors.

  7. Deletion.

    Vendor shall, at the request of Customer: (i) delete or return all Customer Data to Customer after such Customer Data is no longer necessary for the provision of the Services, and (ii) delete existing copies of such Customer Data.

  8. Documentation.

    1. or shall, upon Customer’s request, provide Customer (a) comprehensive documentation of Vendor’s technical and organizational security measures, (b) any and all third-party audits and certifications available with respect to such security measures, and (c) and all other information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with the Vendor’s obligations under this DPA and/or under Applicable Laws.

  9. Term; Termination. 

    This DPA shall remain in effect until (a) all Service Agreements have terminated and (b) all obligations that Vendor has under the Service Agreements and under Applicable Laws with respect to Personal Data, and all rights that Customer has under the Service Agreements and under Applicable Laws with respect to Personal Data, have terminated.  Notwithstanding termination of this DPA, any provisions hereof that by their nature are intended to survive, shall survive termination.

  10. Miscellaneous.

    1. Any notice made pursuant to this DPA will be in writing and will be deemed delivered on (a) the date of delivery if delivered personally, (b) five (5) calendar days (or upon written confirmed receipt) after mailing if duly deposited in registered or certified mail or express commercial carrier, or (c) one (1) calendar day (or upon written confirmed receipt) after being sent by email, addressed to Customer at the address or email address on record with Vendor in Customer’s account information, or addressed to Vendor at the address or email address set forth below, or to such other address or email address as may be hereafter designated by either Party:

    3. Neither Party may assign or transfer any part of this DPA without the written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that this DPA, collectively with all Service Agreements, may be assigned without the other Party’s written consent by either Party to a person or entity who acquires, by sale, merger or otherwise, all or substantially all of such assigning Party’s assets, stock or business.  Subject to the foregoing, this DPA shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 12.3 shall be void and of no effect.

    4. This DPA is the Parties’ entire agreement relating to its subject and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject; provided , however

      , that, notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.4, nothing in this DPA shall be deemed to supersede any of the Service Agreements. Vendor may modify the terms of this DPA if, as reasonably determined by Vendor, such modification is (i) reasonably necessary to comply with Applicable Laws or any other law, regulation, court order or guidance issued by a governmental regulator or agency; and (ii) does not: (a) result in a degradation of the overall security of the Services, (b) expand the scope of, or remove any restrictions on, Vendor’s processing of Personal Data, and (c) otherwise have a material adverse impact on Customer’s rights under this DPA. Any other amendments must be executed by both of the Parties and expressly state that they are amending this DPA.  Failure to enforce any provision of this DPA shall not constitute a waiver.  If any provision of this DPA is found unenforceable, it and any related provisions shall be interpreted to best accomplish the unenforceable provision’s essential purpose.  The headings contained in this DPA are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this DPA.  In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this DPA and the terms and conditions of any Service Agreement, the terms and conditions of this DPA shall govern.

    1. References to the GDPR in the EU SCCs are to be understood as references to the FADP insofar as the data transfers are subject exclusively to the FADP and not to the GDPR.

    2. The term “member state” in the EU SCCs will not be interpreted in such a way as to exclude data subjects in Switzerland from the possibility of suing for their rights in their place of habitual residence (Switzerland) in accordance with Clause 18(c) of the EU SCCs.

    3. References to Personal Data in the EU SCCs also refer to data about identifiable legal entities until the entry into force of revisions to the FADP that eliminate this broader scope.

    4. Under Annex I(C) of the EU SCCs (Competent supervisory authority): where the transfer is subject exclusively to the FADP and not the GDPR, the supervisory authority is the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, and where the transfer is subject to both the FADP and the GDPR, the supervisory authority is the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner insofar as the transfer is governed by the FADP, and the supervisory authority is as set forth in the EU SCCs insofar as the transfer is governed by the GDPR.
