The terms “Controller” and “Processor” below hereby signify Client and Dirrl, Respectively.
2.2 Client’s Processing of Personal Data. Client, in its use of the Service, and Client’s instructions to the Processor, shall comply with Data Protection Laws. Client shall establish and have any and all required legal bases in order to collect, Process and transfer to Processor the Personal Data, and to authorize the Processing by Processor, and for Processor’s Processing activities on Client’s behalf, including the pursuit of ‘business purposes’ as defined under the CCPA/CPRA.
2.3 Processor’s Processing of Personal Data. When Processing on Client’s behalf under the Agreement, Processor shall Process Personal Data for the following purposes: (i) Processing in accordance with the Agreement and this DPA; (ii) Processing for Client as part of its provision of the Services; (iii) Processing to comply with Client’s reasonable and documented instructions, where such instructions are consistent with the terms of the Agreement, regarding the manner in which the Processing shall be performed; (iv) rendering Personal Data fully anonymous, non-identifiable and non-personal in accordance with applicable standards recognized by Data Protection Laws and guidance issued thereunder; (v) Processing as required under the laws applicable to Processor, and/or as required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent governmental or semi-governmental authority, provided that Processor shall inform Client of the legal requirement before Processing, unless such law or order prohibit such information on important grounds of public interest.
Processor shall inform Client without undue delay if, in Processor’s opinion, an instruction for the Processing of Personal Data given by Client infringes applicable Data Protection Laws. To the extent that Processor cannot comply with an instruction from Client, Processor (i) shall inform Client, providing relevant details of the issue, (ii) Processor may, without liability to Client, temporarily cease all Processing of the affected Personal Data (other than securely storing such data) and/or suspend Client’s access to the Services, and (iii) if the Parties do not agree on a resolution to the issue in question and the costs thereof, Client may, as its sole remedy, terminate the Agreement and this DPA with respect to the affected Processing, and Client shall pay to Processor all the amounts owed to Processor or due before the date of termination. Client will have no further claims against Processor (including, without limitation, requesting refunds for Service) pursuant to the termination of the Agreement and the DPA as described in this Paragraph.
2.4 Details of the Processing. The subject-matter of Processing of Personal Data by Processor is the performance of the Service pursuant to the Agreement. The duration of the Processing, the nature and purpose of the Processing, the types of Personal Data and categories of Data Subjects Processed under this DPA are further specified in Schedule 1 (Details of Processing) to this DPA.
2.5 Sensitive Data. The Parties agree that the Services are not intended for the processing of Sensitive Data, and that if Client wishes to use the Services to process Sensitive Data, it must first obtain the Processor’s explicit prior written consent and enter into any additional agreements as required by Dirrl.
2.6 CCPA/CPRA Standard of Care; No Sale of Personal Information. Processor shall not have, derive, or exercise any rights or benefits regarding Personal Information Processed on Client’s behalf, nor shall it combine the Personal Information Processed on Client’s behalf with any information it processes on behalf of any other parties, by way of logical separation, and may use and disclose Personal Information solely for the purposes for which such Personal Information was provided to it, as stipulated in the Agreement and this DPA. Processor certifies that it understands the rules, requirements and definitions of the CCPA/CPRA and agrees to refrain from selling and/or sharing (as such term is defined in the CCPA/CPRA) any Personal Information Processed hereunder without Client’s prior written consent or instruction, nor taking any action that would cause any transfer of Personal Information to or from Processor under the Agreement or this DPA to qualify as “selling” or “sharing” such Personal Information under the CCPA/CPRA.
3. Data Subject Requests
As between the Parties, Client shall have sole discretion and responsibility in responding to the rights asserted by any individual in relation to Consumer Personal Data (“Data Subject Request”). Processor shall, to the extent legally permitted, notify Client or refer Data Subject or Consumer to Client, if Processor receives a Data Subject Request. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Processor shall assist Client by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible and reasonable, for the fulfillment of Client’s obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under Data Protection Laws. Processor may advise Data Subjects on available features for self-exercising their Data Subject Requests through the Services (where appropriate), and/or refer Data Subject Requests received, and the Data Subjects making them, directly to the Client for its treatment of such requests.
4. Confidentiality
Processor shall ensure that its personnel and advisors engaged in the Processing of Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality.
5. Sub-Processors
5.1 Appointment of Sub-processors. Client acknowledges and agrees that (a) Processor’s Affiliates may be engaged as Sub-processors; and (b) Processor and Processor’s Affiliates on behalf of Processor may each engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Service.
5.2 List of Current Sub-processors and Notification of New Sub-processors.
5.2.1 Processor makes available to Client the current list of Sub-Processors used by Processor to process Personal Data. The Dirrl Sub-Processors List includes the identities of those Sub-processors and the entity’s country (“Sub-Processors List”). The Sub-Processors List as of the date of first use of the Service by Client is hereby deemed authorized upon first use of the Services. Client will have no further claims against Processor due to (i) past use of approved Sub-processors prior to the date of the first use of the Services or (ii) the termination of the Agreement (including, without limitation, requesting refunds) and the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph.
5.2.2 Processor shall provide notification of any new Sub-processor(s) at least fifteen (15) days before authorizing such new Sub-processor(s) to Process Personal Data in connection with the provision of the Services.
5.3 Objection to New Sub-processors. Client may reasonably object to Processor’s use of a new Sub-processor, for reasons relating to the protection of Personal Data intended to be Processed by such Sub-processor, by notifying Processor promptly in writing within seven (7) days after receipt of a Processor notification. Such written objection shall include the reasons for objecting to Processor’s use of such new Sub-processor. Failure to object to such new Sub-processor in writing within seven (7) days following Processor’s notice shall be deemed as acceptance of the new Sub-Processor. In the event Client reasonably objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, Processor will use reasonable efforts to make available to Client a change in the Service or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Client’s configuration or use of the Service to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening the Client. If Processor is unable to make available such change within thirty (30) days, Client may, as a sole remedy, terminate the applicable Agreement and this DPA with respect only to those Service which cannot be provided by Processor without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor, by providing written notice to Processor. All amounts due under the Agreement before the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to Processor. Until a decision is made regarding the new Sub-processor, Processor may temporarily suspend the Processing of the affected Personal Data and/or suspend access to the Services. Client will have no further claims against Processor due to the termination of the Agreement (including, without limitation, requesting refunds) and/or the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph.
5.4 Agreements with Sub-processors. Processor or a Processor’s Affiliate on behalf of Processor has entered into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing appropriate safeguards to the protection of Personal Data. Where Processor engages a Sub-processor for carrying out specific Processing activities on behalf of the Client, the same or materially similar data protection obligations as set out in this DPA shall be imposed on such new Sub-processor by way of a contract, in particular obligations to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of applicable Data Protection Laws. Where a Sub-processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations concerning its processing of Personal Data, Processor shall remain responsible for the performance of the Sub-processor’s obligations.
6. Security & Audits
6.1 Controls for the Protection of Personal Data. Processor shall maintain industry-standard technical and organizational measures for protection of Personal Data Processed hereunder (including protection against unauthorized or unlawful Processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data, confidentiality and integrity of Personal Data, including those measures set forth in the Security Measures), as may be amended from time to time. Upon the Client’s reasonable request, Processor will reasonably assist Client, at Client’s cost and subject to the provisions of Section 11.1 below, in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Processor.
6.2 Audits and Inspections.
6.2.1 Upon Client’s 14 days prior written request at reasonable intervals (no more than once every 12 months), and subject to strict confidentiality undertakings by Client, Processor shall make available to Client that is not a competitor of Processor (or Client’s independent, reputable, third-party auditor that is not a competitor of Processor and not in conflict with Processor, subject to their confidentiality and non-compete undertakings) information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by them (provided, however, that such information, audits, inspections and the results therefrom, including the documents reflecting the outcome of the audit and/or the inspections, shall only be used by Client to assess compliance with this DPA, and shall not be used for any other purpose or disclosed to any third party without Processor’s prior written approval. Upon Processor’s first request, Client shall return all records or documentation in Client’s possession or control provided by Processor in the context of the audit and/or the inspection).
6.2.2 In the event of an audit or inspections as set forth above, Client shall ensure that it (and each of its mandated auditors) will not cause (or, if it cannot avoid, minimize) any damage, injury or disruption to Processor’s premises, equipment, personnel and business while conducting such audit or inspection.
6.2.3 The audit rights set forth in this paragraph above, shall only apply to the extent that the Agreement does not otherwise provide Client with audit rights that meet the relevant requirements of Data Protection Laws (including, where applicable, article 28(3)(h) of the GDPR or the UK GDPR).
6.3 Adequacy of Measures. Client acknowledges and agrees that, 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, Dirrl’s Security Measures are appropriate to ensure the security of the Personal Data.
7. Data Incident Management and Notification
Processor maintains security incident management policies and procedures and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, shall notify Client without undue delay after becoming aware of the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data Processed by Processor on behalf of the Client (a “Data Incident”). Processor shall make reasonable efforts to identify and take those steps as Processor deems necessary and reasonable in order to remediate and/or mitigate the cause of such Data Incident to the extent the remediation and/or mitigation is within Processor’s reasonable control. The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents that are caused by Client or anyone who uses the Services on Client’s behalf. Client will not make, disclose, release or publish any finding, admission of liability, communication, notice, press release or report concerning any Data Incident which directly or indirectly identifies Processor (including in any legal proceeding or in any notification to regulatory or supervisory authorities or affected individuals) without Processor’s prior written approval, unless, and solely to the extent that, Client is compelled to do so pursuant to applicable Data Protection Laws. In the latter case, unless prohibited by such laws, Client shall provide Processor with reasonable prior written notice to provide Processor with the opportunity to object to such disclosure and in any case Client will limit the disclosure to the minimum scope Required.
8. Return and Deletion of Personal Data
Following termination of the Agreement and subject thereto, Processor shall, at the choice of Client (indicated through the Service or in written notification to Processor), delete or return to Client all the Personal Data it Processes on behalf of the Client, and Processor shall delete existing copies of such Personal Data unless Data Protection Laws require otherwise. To the extent authorized or required by applicable law, Processor may also retain one copy of the Personal Data solely for evidence purposes and/or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims and/or for compliance with legal obligations.
9. Cross-Border Data Transfers
9.1 Transfers from the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland to countries that offer adequate level of data protection. Personal Data may be transferred from EU Member States, the three other EEA member countries (Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) (collectively, “EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”) and Switzerland to countries that offer an adequate level of data protection under or pursuant to the adequacy decisions published by the relevant data protection authorities of the EEA, the European Union, the Member States or the European Commission, the UK, and/or Switzerland (“Adequacy Decisions”), as applicable, without any further safeguard being necessary.
9.2 Transfers from the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland to other countries. If the Processing of Personal Data by Processor includes a transfer (either directly or via onward transfer) from the EEA (“EEA Transfer”), the UK (“UK Transfer”), and/or Switzerland (“Swiss Transfer”) to other countries which have not been subject to a relevant Adequacy Decision, and such transfers are not performed through an alternative recognized compliance mechanism as may be adopted by Processor for the lawful transfer of personal data (as defined in the GDPR, the UK GDPR, as relevant) outside the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, as applicable, then (i) the terms set forth in the Standard Contractual Clauses (EEA Cross Border Transfers) shall apply to any such EEA Transfer; (ii) the terms set forth in Annex III (UK Cross Border Transfers) shall apply to any such UK Transfer (“UK Addendum”); (iii) the terms set forth in Annex IV (Swiss Cross Border Transfers) shall apply to any such Swiss Transfer; and (iv) the terms set forth in Annex V (Additional Safeguards) shall apply to any such transfers.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, by executing the DPA, the Client enters into the DPA on behalf of itself and, as applicable, in the name and on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates, in which case each Authorized Affiliate agrees to be bound by the Client’s obligations under this DPA, if and to the extent that Processor Processes Personal Data on the behalf of such Authorized Affiliates, thus qualifying them as the “Controller”. All access to and use of the Service by Authorized Affiliates must comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and this DPA and any violation of the terms and conditions therein by an Authorized Affiliate shall be deemed a violation by Client.
10.2 Communication. Client shall remain responsible for coordinating all communication with Processor under the Agreement and this DPA and shall be entitled to make and receive any communication in relation to this DPA on behalf of its Authorized Affiliates.
11. Other Provisions
11.1 Data Protection Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation.
