behalf of the Customer in the course

of the European Union, the European
Economic Area and/or their member states, Switzerland and/or the United Kingdom. The
parties agree to comply with the
terms and conditions in this DPA in connection with such Personal Data.
2.2 Role of the Parties. As between us and Customer, Customer is the Controller of

using or sharing any data that we would otherwise collect and process independently
of Customer's use of the Services.

obligations as a Controller under Data
Protection Laws in respect of its processing of Personal Data and any processing
instructions it issues to us; and (ii)
it has provided notice and obtained (or shall obtain) all consents and rights
necessary under Data Protection Laws for
us to process Personal Data and provide the Services pursuant to the Agreement and
this DPA.
2.4 Our Processing of Personal Data. As a Processor, we shall process Personal Data
only for the following purposes: (i)
processing to perform the Services in accordance with the Agreement; (ii) processing
to perform any steps necessary for
the performance of the Agreement; and (iii) to comply with other reasonable
instructions provided by Customer to the
extent they are consistent with the terms of this Agreement and only in accordance
with Customer's documented lawful
instructions. The parties agree that this DPA and the Agreement set out the
Customer's complete and final instructions
to us in relation to the processing of Personal Data and processing outside the
scope of these instructions (if any)
shall require prior written agreement between Customer and us.
2.5 Nature of the Data. We handles Customer Data provided by Customer. Such Customer
Data may contain special categories
of data depending on how the Services are used by Customer. The Customer Data may be
subject to the following process
activities: (i) storage and other processing necessary to provide, maintain and
improve the Services provided to
Customer; (ii) to provide customer and technical support to Customer; and (iii)
disclosures as required by law or
otherwise set forth in the Agreement.
2.6 Our Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement (including
this DPA), Customer acknowledges that
we shall have a right to use and disclose data relating to and/or obtained in
connection with the operation, support
and/or use of the Services for its legitimate business purposes, such as billing,
account management, technical support,
product development and sales and marketing. To the extent any such data is
considered personal data under Data
Protection Laws, we are the Controller of such data and accordingly shall process
such data in compliance with Data
Protection Laws.
3. Subprocessing
3.1 Authorized Sub-processors. Customer agrees that we may engage Sub-processors to
process Personal Data on Customer's
behalf. The Sub-processors currently engaged by us and authorized by Customer are
listed in Annex A.
3.2 Sub-processor Obligations. We shall: (i) enter into a written agreement with the
Sub-processor imposing data
protection terms that require the Sub-processor to protect the Personal Data to the
standard required by Data Protection
Laws; and (ii) remain responsible for its compliance with the obligations of this
DPA and for any acts or omissions of
the Sub-processor that cause us to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.
3.3 Changes to Sub-processors. We shall provide Customer reasonable advance notice
(for which email shall suffice) if it
adds or removes Sub-processors.
3.4 Objection to Sub-processors. Customer may object in writing to our appointment
of a new Sub-processor on reasonable
grounds relating to data protection by notifying us promptly in writing within five
(5) calendar days of receipt of our
notice in accordance with Section 3.3. Such notice shall explain the reasonable
grounds for the objection. In such
event, the parties shall discuss such concerns in good faith with a view to
achieving commercially reasonable
resolution. If this is not possible, either party may terminate the applicable
Services that cannot be provided by us
without the use of the objected-to-new Sub-processor.
4. Security
4.1 Security Measures. We shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and
organizational security measures to
protect Personal Data from Security Incidents and to preserve the security and

by Customer.

are subject to technical progress and
development and that we may update or modify the Security Measures from time to time
provided that such updates and
modifications do not result in the degradation of the overall security of the

operations. We shall implement
appropriate safeguards to protect the Personal Data, wherever it is processed, in
accordance with the requirements of
Data Protection Laws.
6.2 Transfer Mechanism: Notwithstanding Section 6.1, to the extent we process or
transfers (directly or via onward
transfer) Personal Data under this DPA from the European Union, the European
Economic Area and/or their member states
and Switzerland ("EU Data") in or to countries which do not ensure an adequate level
of data protection within the
meaning of applicable Data Protection Laws of the foregoing territories, the parties
agree that we shall be deemed to
provide appropriate safeguards for such data by virtue of having certified its
compliance with the Privacy Shield and we

hereby authorises any transfer of EU
Data to, or access to EU Data from, such destinations outside the EU subject to any
of these measures having been taken.

8. Cooperation
8.1 To the extent that Customer is unable to independently access the relevant
Personal Data within the Services, we
shall (at Customer's expense) taking into account the nature of the processing,
provide reasonable cooperation to assist
Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures, in so far as is
possible, to respond to any requests from
individuals or applicable data protection authorities relating to the processing of
Personal Data under the Agreement.
In the event that any such request is made directly to us, we shall not respond to
such communication directly without
Customer's prior authorization, unless legally compelled to do so. If we are
required to respond to such a request, we
shall promptly notify Customer and provide it with a copy of the request unless
legally prohibited from doing so.
8.2 To the extent we are required under Data Protection Law, we shall (at Customer's
expense) provide reasonably
requested information regarding our processing of Personal Data under the Agreement
to enable the Customer to carry out
data protection impact assessments or prior consultations with data protection
authorities as required by law.

full force and effect. If there is
any conflict between this DPA and the Agreement, this DPA shall prevail to the
extent of that conflict.

"Agreement" in the Agreement shall
