2.1.    Roles of the Parties; Compliance.  The parties acknowledge and agree that, as between the parties, with regard to the Processing of Customer Personal Data under the Agreement, Customer is a Controller and DNSF is a Processor.  In some circumstances, the parties acknowledge that Customer may be acting as a Processor to a third-party Controller in respect of Customer Personal Data, in which case DNSF will remain a Processor with respect to the Customer in such event.  Each party will comply with the obligations applicable to it in such role under Data Protection Laws with respect to the Processing of Customer Personal Data.

2.2.    Customer Instructions.  DNSF will Process Customer Personal Data only in accordance with Customer’s documented instructions unless otherwise required by applicable law, in which case DNSF will inform Customer of such Processing unless notification is prohibited by applicable law.  Customer hereby instructs DNSF to Process Customer Personal Data: (a) to provide the Services to Customer; (b) to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under the Agreement and this DPA; and (c) as necessary to prevent or address technical problems with the Services.  DNSF will notify Customer if, in its opinion, an instruction of Customer infringes upon Data Protection Laws.  Customer’s instructions for the Processing of Customer Personal Data shall comply with Data Protection Laws.  Customer shall be responsible for: (i) giving adequate notice and making all appropriate disclosures to Data Subjects regarding Customer’s use and disclosure and DNSF’s Processing of Customer Personal Data; and (ii) obtaining all necessary rights, and, where applicable, all appropriate and valid consents to disclose such Customer Personal Data to DNSF to permit the Processing of such Customer Personal Data by DNSF for the purposes of performing DNSF’s obligations under the Agreement or as may be required by Data Protection Laws.  Customer shall notify DNSF of any changes in, or revocation of, the permission to use, disclose, or otherwise Process Customer Personal Data that would impact DNSF’s ability to comply with the Agreement, this DPA, or Data Protection Laws.  

2.3.    Details of Processing.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the nature and purpose of the Processing of Customer Personal Data, the types of Customer Personal Data Processed, the categories of Data Subjects, and other details regarding the Processing of Customer Personal Data are as set forth in Appendix 1.

2.4.    Processing Subject to the CCPA.  As used in this Section 2.4, the terms “Sell,” “Share,” “Business Purpose,” and “Commercial Purpose” shall have the meanings given in the CCPA and “Personal Information” shall mean any personal information (as defined in the CCPA) contained in Customer Personal Data.  DNSF will not: (a) Sell or Share any Personal Information; (b) retain, use, or disclose any Personal Information (i) for any purpose other than for the Business Purposes specified in the Agreement, including for any Commercial Purpose other than the Business Purposes specified in the Agreement, or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA, or (ii) outside of the direct business relationship between Customer and DNSF; or (c) combine Personal Information received from, or on behalf of, Customer with Personal Data received from or on behalf of any third party, or collected from DNSF’s own interaction with Data Subjects, except to perform any Business Purpose permitted by the CCPA.  DNSF hereby certifies that it understands the foregoing restrictions under this Section 2.4 and will comply with them.  The parties acknowledge that the Personal Information disclosed by Customer to DNSF is provided to DNSF only for the limited and specified purposes set forth in Appendix 1.  DNSF will comply with applicable obligations under the CCPA and provide the same level of privacy protection to Personal Information as is required by the CCPA.  Customer has the right to take reasonable and appropriate steps to help ensure that DNSF uses the Personal Information transferred in a manner consistent with Customer’s obligations under the CCPA by exercising Customer’s audit rights in Section 8.  DNSF will notify Customer if DNSF makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligations under the CCPA.  If DNSF notifies Customer of unauthorized use of Personal Information, including under the foregoing sentence, Customer will have the right to take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate such unauthorized use by limiting the Personal Information shared with DNSF, terminating the portion of the Agreement relevant to such unauthorized use, or such other steps mutually agreed between the parties in writing. 

2.5.    De-identified Data. With respect to any de-identified data created by DNSF from Customer Personal Data, DNSF will: (i) take any necessary measures to ensure that such de-identified data cannot be associated with a Data Subject; (ii) publicly commit to maintaining and using de-identified data without attempting to re-identify the data; (iii) comply with the requirements of Data Protection Laws with respect to the creation of such de-identified data; and (iv) contractually obligate any recipients of the de-identified data to comply with restrictions substantially similar to those set forth in this Section 2.5. 

 

3.    CONFIDENTIALITY.  DNSF shall take reasonable steps to ensure that DNSF personnel who Process Customer Personal Data are subject to obligations of confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Customer Personal Data.

 


4.    SECURITY. 

4.1.    Security Measures.  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, DNSF shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, in accordance with the security standards in Appendix 2 (the “Security Measures”).  Customer acknowledges that the Security Measures may be updated from time to time upon reasonable notice to Customer to reflect process improvements or changing practices, provided that the modifications will not materially decrease DNSF’s security obligations hereunder. 

4.2.    Security Incidents.  Upon becoming aware of a confirmed Security Incident, DNSF will: (a) notify Customer of the Security Incident without undue delay after becoming aware of the Security Incident; and (b) take reasonable steps to identify the cause of such Security Incident, minimize harm, and prevent a recurrence.  DNSF will take reasonable steps to provide Customer with information available to DNSF that Customer may reasonably require to comply with its obligations under Data Protection Laws.  DNSF’s notification of or response to a Security Incident under this Section 4.2 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by DNSF of any fault or liability with respect to the Security Incident.

4.3.    Customer Responsibilities.  Customer agrees that, without limitation of DNSF’s obligations under this Section 4, Customer is solely responsible for its use of the Services, including: (a) making appropriate use of the Services to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk in respect of the Customer Personal Data; and (b) securing any account authentication credentials, systems, and devices Customer uses to access or connect to the Services, where applicable.  Without limiting DNSF’s obligations hereunder, Customer is responsible for reviewing the information made available by DNSF relating to data security and making an independent determination as to whether the Services meet Customer’s requirements and legal obligations under Data Protection Laws.  

 

5.    SUBPROCESSING.  Subject to the requirements of this Section 5, Customer generally authorizes DNSF to engage Subprocessors as DNSF considers reasonably appropriate for the Processing of Customer Personal Data.  A list of DNSF’s Subprocessors, including their functions and locations, is available upon Customer’s request and may be updated by DNSF from time to time in accordance with this Section 5.  DNSF will notify Customer of the addition or replacement of any Subprocessor at least ten (10) days prior to such engagement.  Customer may object to such changes on reasonable data protection grounds by providing DNSF written notice of such objection within ten (10) days.  Upon receiving such an objection, where practicable and at DNSF’s sole discretion DNSF will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) work with Customer in good faith to make available a commercially reasonable change in the provision of the Services which avoids the use of that proposed Subprocessor; or (b) take corrective steps requested by Customer in its objection and proceed to use the new Subprocessor.  If DNSF informs Customer that such change or corrective steps cannot be made, Customer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy available under this Section 5, terminate the relevant portion of the Agreement involving the Services which require the use of the proposed Subprocessor by providing written notice to DNSF.  When engaging any Subprocessor, DNSF will enter into a written contract with such Subprocessor containing data protection obligations not less protective than those in this DPA.  DNSF shall be liable for the acts and omissions of the Subprocessor to the extent DNSF would be liable under the Agreement and this DPA.

 

6.    DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS.  DNSF will, taking into account the nature of the Processing of Customer Personal Data and the functionality of the Services, provide reasonable assistance to Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, as necessary for Customer to fulfill its obligations under Data Protection Laws to respond to requests by Data Subjects to exercise their rights under Data Protection Laws.  DNSF reserves the right to charge Customer on a time and materials basis in the event that DNSF considers that such assistance is onerous, complex, frequent, or time consuming.  If DNSF receives a request from a Data Subject under any Data Protection Laws with respect to Customer Personal Data, DNSF will advise the Data Subject to submit the request to Customer and Customer will be responsible for responding to any such request.  

 

7.    ASSESSMENTS AND PRIOR CONSULTATIONS.  In the event that Data Protection Laws require Customer to conduct a data protection impact assessment, transfer impact assessment, or prior consultation with a Supervisory Authority in connection with DNSF’s Processing of Customer Personal Data, following written request from Customer, DNSF shall use reasonable commercial efforts to provide relevant information and assistance to Customer to fulfil such request, taking into account the nature of DNSF’s Processing of Customer Personal Data and the information available to DNSF.  DNSF reserves the right to charge Customer on a time and materials basis in the event that DNSF considers that such assistance is onerous, complex, frequent, or time consuming.

 

8.    RELEVANT RECORDS AND AUDIT RIGHTS.  

8.1.    Review of Information and Records; Audits.  Upon Customer’s written request during the term of the Agreement, DNSF will provide to Customer information reasonably necessary to demonstrate DSNF’s compliance this DPA in the form of DNSF’s most recent SOC 2 Type II or similar audit report (“Audit Report”). If Customer requires information for its compliance with Data Protection Laws in addition to the information set forth in the Audit Report, at Customer’s sole expense and to the extent Customer is unable to access the additional information on its own, DNSF will allow for, cooperate with, and contribute to reasonable assessments and audits, including inspections, by Customer or an auditor mandated by Customer (“Mandated Auditor”), provided that (a) Customer provides DNSF with reasonable advance written notice including the anticipated date of the audit, the proposed scope of the audit, and the identity of any Mandated Auditor, which shall not be a competitor of DNSF; (b) DNSF approves the Mandated Auditor in writing, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; (c) the audit is conducted during normal business hours and in a manner that does not have any adverse impact on DNSF’s normal business operations; (d) Customer or any Mandated Auditor complies with DNSF’s standard safety, confidentiality, and security policies or procedures in conducting any such audits; (e) any records, data, or information accessed by Customer or any Mandated Auditor in the performance of any such audit, or any results of any such audit, will be deemed to be the Confidential Information of DNSF and subject to a nondisclosure agreement to be provided by DNSF; and (f) Customer may initiate such audit not more than once per calendar year unless otherwise required by a Supervisory Authority or Data Protection Laws.

8.2.    Results of Audits.  Customer will promptly notify DNSF of any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit and provide DNSF any reports generated in connection with any audit, unless prohibited by Data Protection Laws or otherwise instructed by a Supervisory Authority.  Customer may use the Audit Report and any other information collected during the course of an audit solely for the purposes of meeting Customer’s audit requirements under Data Protection Laws to confirm that DNSF’s Processing of Customer Personal Data complies with this DPA.

 

9.    DATA TRANSFERS.

9.1.    Data Processing Facilities.  DNSF may, subject to Sections 9.2 and 9.3, Process Customer Personal Data in the United States or anywhere DNSF or its Subprocessors maintains facilities.  Customer is responsible for ensuring that its use of the Services complies with any cross-border data transfer restrictions of Data Protection Laws.

9.2.    European Transfers.  If Customer transfers Customer Personal Data to DNSF that is subject to European Data Protection Laws, and such transfer is not subject to an alternative adequate transfer mechanism under European Data Protection Laws or otherwise exempt from cross-border transfer restrictions, then Customer (as “data exporter”) and DNSF (as “data importer”) agree that the applicable terms of the SCCs shall apply to and govern such transfer and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties agree that: (a) the execution of this DPA shall constitute execution of the applicable SCCs as of the DPA Effective Date; (b) the relevant selections, terms, and modifications set forth in Appendix 3 shall apply, as applicable; and (c) the SCCs shall automatically terminate once the Customer Personal Data transfer governed thereby becomes lawful under European Data Protection Laws in the absence of such SCCs on any other basis.  

9.3.    Other Jurisdictions.  If Customer transfers Customer Personal Data to DNSF that is subject to Data Protection Laws other than European Data Protection Laws which require the parties to enter into standard contractual clauses to ensure the protection of the transferred Customer Personal Data, and the transfer is not subject to an alternative adequate transfer mechanism under Data Protection Laws or otherwise exempt from cross-border transfer restrictions, then the parties agree that the applicable terms of any standard contractual clauses approved or adopted by the relevant Supervisory Authority pursuant to such Data Protection Laws shall automatically apply to such transfer and, where applicable, shall be completed on a mutatis mutandis basis to the completion of the SCCs as described in Section 9.2

 

10.    DELETION OR RETURN OF CUSTOMER PERSONAL DATA.  Following termination or expiration of the Agreement, DNSF shall, at Customer's option and upon Customer's written request, delete or return Customer Personal Data and all copies to Customer, except as required by applicable law.  If DNSF retains Customer Personal Data pursuant to applicable law, DNSF agrees that all such Customer Personal Data will continue to be protected in accordance with this DPA.

 

11.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.  Any liabilities arising in respect of this DPA are subject to the limitations of liability under the Agreement.  This DPA will, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the Agreement, remain in effect until, and automatically expire upon, DNSF’s deletion or return of all Customer Personal Data.  To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and the other terms of the Agreement in relation to the subject matter hereof, this DPA will govern.
