2.0 Processing and Transfer of Personal Data.

2.1 Processor shall process Personal Data in accordance with Customer’s written instructions (unless waived in a written requirement) provided during the term of this DPA. The parties agree that the Agreement, including this DPA, together with Customer’s use of the Processor’s service in accordance with the Agreement, constitute Customer’s complete and final written instruction to Processor in relation to the Processing of Personal Data, and additional instructions outside the scope of these instructions shall require a prior written and mutually executed agreement between Customer and Processor. In the event Processor reasonably believes there is a conflict with any Data Protection Law and Customer’s instructions, Processor will inform Customer promptly and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the conflict and achieve the goals of such instruction.

2.2 Except for usage of Personal Data as necessary to bring and defend claims, to comply with requirements of the legal process, to cooperate with regulatory authorities, and to exercise other similar permissible uses as expressly provided under Data Protection Laws, Processor shall not retain, use, sell, or disclose the Personal Data that is not de-identified or aggregated for analytics, for any purpose, including other commercial purposes, outside of the direct business relationship with Customer.

2.3 The parties acknowledge and agree that processing of the Personal Data will occur in the United States, a jurisdiction potentially outside the residence of the data subjects, and Customer shall comply with all notice and consent requirements for such transfer and processing to the extent required by Data Protection Laws.

3.0 International Data Protection Laws.

3.1 Transfers of EU or UK Personal Data. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Processor is located in the United States and that Customer’s provision of Personal Data from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (“EU or UK Personal Data”) to Processor for processing is a transfer of EU or UK Personal Data to the United States. All transfers of Customer Personal Data out of the EU or UK, as applicable, to the United States shall be governed by the Standard Contractual Clauses. The terms of the Standard Contractual Clauses, together with Appendices set out in Exhibit A to this DPA, are incorporated in this DPA by this reference solely as required with respect to EU or UK Personal Data for the services provided by Processor for Customer under the Agreement.

3.2 GDPR Contractual Requirements. Processor shall: (a) assist, to a reasonable extent, the fulfillment of Customer’s obligations to respond to requests for exercising a data subject’s rights with respect to Personal Data under Chapter III of GDPR; (b) assist, to a reasonable extent, Customer in complying with its obligations with respect to EU or UK Personal Data pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of GDPR; (c) make available to Customer information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with its obligations as a processor specified in Article 28 of GDPR; (d) maintain a record of all categories of processing activities carried out on behalf of Customer in accordance with Article 30(2) of the GDPR; and (e) cooperate, on request, with an EU supervisory authority in the performance of the services under the Agreement.

3.3 Sub-processors. Customer grants a general authorization to Processor to appoint its affiliates as sub-processors, and a specific authorization to Processor and its affiliates to appoint sub-processors. A list of Crosschq’s current Sub-processors will be provided upon request by Customer. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Crosschq may engage its current Sub-processors.

3.4 Written Notice Via Mailing List. Crosschq will provide Customer with notice (“New Sub-processor Notice”) of the addition of any new Sub-processor to the Sub- processor List at any time during the Term of the Agreement. Crosschq will provide Customer with additional information about any Sub-processor on the Sub-processor List that Customer may reasonably request upon receipt of a New Sub-processor Notice.

3.5 Customer Objection. If Customer has a reasonable basis to object to Crosschq’s use of a new Sub-processor on data protection grounds, Customer will notify Crosschq promptly in writing within 15 days after receipt of a New Sub-processor Notice. Crosschq will use reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the affected Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the affected Services to avoid processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-processor without unreasonably burdening Customer. If Crosschq is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which will not exceed 30 days, Customer may terminate the portion of any Agreement relating to the Services that cannot be reasonably provided without the objected-to new Sub-processor by providing written notice to Crosschq. Customer’s failure to timely object to the appointment of a new Sub-processor as required above shall be deemed an approval of such new Sub-processor.

3.6 Responsibility. Crosschq will remain responsible for its compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts and omissions of its Sub-processors that cause Crosschq to breach any of Crosschq’s obligations under this DPA.

4.0 Compliance with Data Protection Laws.

4.1 Representation and Warranty. Customer represents and warrants on behalf of itself and its employees, agents and contractors utilized in connection with the Services that the Personal Data provided to Processor for processing under the Agreement and this DPA is collected and/or validly obtained and utilized by Customer and its employees, agents and contractors in compliance with all Data Protection Laws, including without limitation the disclosure, informed affirmative consent and targeted advertising provisions of the CCPA and International Data Protection Laws, including without limitation Chapter II of the GDPR, and Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Processor from and against all loss, expense (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and court costs), damage, or liability arising out of any claim arising out of a breach of this Section 4.1.

4.2 Data Security. Processor will utilize commercially reasonable efforts to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of the Personal Data transferred to it using reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Processor shall: (a) not use or disclose Personal Data for any purpose other than those purposes instructed or permitted by Customer; (b) only use and disclose Personal Data in a manner and to the extent permitted in this DPA or as otherwise agreed between the Parties and observe all limitations as to such use or disclosure as Customer may notify to Processor; (c) employ reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards (including commercially reasonable safeguards against worms, Trojan horses, and other disabling or damaging codes) to afford protection of the Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Laws as would be appropriate based on the nature of the Personal Data; (d) utilize commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Personal Data reasonably secure and in an encrypted form, and use industry standard security practices and systems applicable to the use of Personal Data to prevent, and take prompt and proper remedial action against unauthorized access, copying, modification, storage, reproduction, display, or distribution of Personal Data; (e) cease to retain documents containing Personal Data, or remove the means by which Personal Data can be associated with particular individuals reasonably promptly after it is reasonable to assume that (i) the specified purposes are no longer being served by Processor’s retention of Personal Data, and (ii) retention is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes; and (f) upon receiving a request from Customer to correct an error or omission in the Personal Data about the individual that is in the possession or under the control of Processor, correct the Personal Data as soon as reasonably practicable.

4.3 Authorized Personnel; Sub-processors. Processor shall ensure that Authorized Personnel have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality with obligations at least as restrictive as those contained in this DPA. In addition, Processor is authorized to use sub-processors provided that Processor shall enter into an agreement with the sub-processor containing data protection obligations that are at least as restrictive as the obligations under this DPA.

4.4 Security Breaches. After confirmation of a Security Breach, Processor will promptly, without undue delay and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours: (a) notify Customer of the Security Breach; (b) investigate the Security Breach; (c) provide Customer with details about the Security Breach; and (d) take reasonable actions to prevent a recurrence of the Security Breach. Processor agrees to cooperate in Customer’s handling of the matter by: (i) providing reasonable assistance with Customer’s investigation; and (ii) making available relevant records, logs, files, data reporting, and other materials related to the Security Breach’s effects on Customer, as required to comply with Data Protection Laws.

4.5 Data Subject Requests. Processor will cooperate with Customer to address data subject rights and requests afforded by Data Protection Laws.

5.0 Audits and Certifications.

5.1 Within thirty (30) days of Customer’s written request, and no more than once annually and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement (unless such information is reasonably required to be disclosed as a response to a data subject’s inquiries under Data Protection Laws), Processor shall make available to Customer (or a mutually agreed upon third-party auditor) information regarding Processor’s compliance with the obligations set forth in this DPA, including Processor’s System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 2 Report, completed annually. An NDA may be required to receive this information.

6.0 Miscellaneous.

6.1 In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and Data Protection Laws, Data Protection Laws shall prevail. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this DPA and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this DPA shall prevail solely to the extent that the subject matter concerns the processing of Personal Data.

6.2 To the extent that it is determined by any data protection authority that the Agreement or this DPA is insufficient to comply with Data Protection Laws or changes to Data Protection Laws, Customer and Processor agree to cooperate in good faith to amend the Agreement or this DPA or enter into further mutually agreeable data processing agreements in an effort to comply with all Data Protection Laws.

6.3 Each Party’s liability arising out of or related to this DPA, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the limitations of liability contained in the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each reference herein to the “DPA” means this DPA including its exhibits and appendices.

6.4 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. This DPA does not confer any third-party beneficiary rights, is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns only, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person. This DPA only applies to the extent Processor processes Personal Data on behalf of Customer. This DPA together with the Agreement 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.
