e. Duration of the Processing. Personal Data will be Processed for the duration of the Agreement, subject to Section 4 of this DPA.

3. Data Controller Responsibilities

Within the scope of the Agreement and in its use of the Services, Data Controller shall be solely responsible for complying with the statutory requirements relating to data protection and privacy, in particular regarding the disclosure and transfer of Personal Data to the Processor and the Processing of Personal Data.

Customer instructs to process Personal Data only in accordance with applicable laws to provide the Services as defined and authorized by the Agreement.

This DPA is Customer’s instruction in relation to Personal Data and additional instructions outside the scope of DPA would require prior written agreement between the parties. Instructions shall initially be specified in the Agreement and may, from time to time thereafter, be amended or replaced by Data Controller in separate written instructions (as individual instructions).

Data Controller shall inform Processor comprehensively and without undue delay about any errors or irregularities related to statutory provisions on the Processing of Personal Data.

4. Data Processor Responsibilities

The parties acknowledge and agree that Customer is the Data Controller of Personal Data and Shuffl is the Processor of the Personal Data. Customer Personal Data will only be processed for the purposes described in this DPA or as otherwise agreed within the scope of Customer’s lawful Instructions, except where and to the extent otherwise required by applicable law. Processor is not responsible for compliance with any Data Protection Laws applicable to Data Controller that is not generally applicable.

If Data Processor becomes aware that they cannot Process Personal Data in accordance with Instructions due to a legal requirement under any applicable law, Data Processor will (i) promptly notify Data Controller of that legal requirement to the extent permitted by the applicable law; and (ii) where necessary, cease all Processing (other than merely storing and maintaining the security of the affected Personal Data) until such time as new Instructions are issued with which Data Processor is able to comply. If this provision is invoked, Data Processor will not be liable to Data Controller under the Agreement for any failure to perform the applicable Service until such time as new lawful Instructions are issued with regard to the Processing.

Data Processor shall take the appropriate technical and organizational measures to adequately protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data, described under Appendix 2 to the Standard Contractual Clauses. Upon Controller’s request, Processor shall provide a current data protection and security program relating to the Processing hereunder.

Data Processor will facilitate Data Controller’s compliance with the Data Controller’s obligation to implement security measures with respect to Personal Data (including if applicable Data Controller’s obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 34 (inclusive) of the GDPR), by (i) implementing and maintaining the security measures described under Appendix 2, (ii) complying with the terms of Section 4(d) (Personal Data Breaches); and (iii) providing the Data Controller with information in relation to the Processing in accordance with Section 5 (Audits).

Data Processor shall ensure that any personnel whom Data Processor authorizes to process Personal Data on its behalf is subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to that Personal Data. The undertaking to confidentiality shall continue after the termination of the above-entitled activities.

Data Processor will notify the Data Controller as soon as reasonable after it becomes aware of any Personal Data Breach or Data Incidents affecting any Personal Data. At the Data Controller’s request, Data Processor will provide the Data Controller with all reasonable assistance necessary to enable the Data Controller to notify relevant Personal Data Breaches to competent authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, if Controller is required to do so under the Data Protection Law.

Data Processor will provide reasonable assistance, including by appropriate technical and organizational measures and taking into account the nature of the Processing, to enable Data Controller to respond to any request from Data Subjects seeking to exercise their rights under the Data Protection Law with respect to Personal Data (including access, rectification, restriction, deletion or portability of Personal Data, as applicable), to the extent permitted by the law. If such request is made directly to Data Processor, Data Processor will inform Data Controller and will advise Data Subjects to submit their request to the Data Controller. Data Controller shall be solely responsible for responding to any Data Subjects’ requests.

To the extent that Data Controller does not have the ability to address a Data Subject request, then upon Data Controller’s request Data Processor shall provide reasonable assistance to the Data Controller to facilitate such Data Subject request to the extent able and only as required by applicable Data Protection Law. Data Controller shall reimburse Data Processor for the commercially reasonable costs arising from this assistance.

Data Processor will delete or return all Customer Data, including Personal Data (including copies thereof) Processed pursuant to this DPA, on termination or expiration of your Subscription Service in accordance with the procedures and timeframes set out in the Agreement, save that this requirement shall not apply to the extent we are required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Customer Data, or to Customer Data it has archived on back-up systems, which data we will securely isolate and protect from any further Processing and delete in accordance with its deletion practices.

5. Audits

Data Processor shall, in accordance with Data Protection Laws and in response to a reasonable written request by Data Controller, make available to Data Controller such information in Data Processor’s possession or control related to Data Processor’s compliance with the obligations of data processors under Data Protection Law in relation to its Processing of Personal Data.

Data Controller may, upon written request and at least 60 days’ notice to Data Processor, during regular business hours conduct an inspection of Data Processor’s business operations or have the same conducted by a qualified third-party auditor subject to Data Processor’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld and incurred at the Data Processor’s expense.

Data Processor shall, upon Data Controller’s written request and on at least 60 days’ notice to the Data Processor, provide Data Controller with all information necessary for such audit, to the extent that such information is within Data Processor’s control and Data Processor is not precluded from disclosing it by applicable law, a duty of confidentiality, or any other obligation owed to a third party.

6. Sub-processors

Data Controller acknowledges and agrees to (i) the engagement as sub-Data Processors of the third parties listed on our Sub-Data Processors Page, as linked below, and (ii) that Data Processor may engage third-party sub-Data Processors in to deliver Services as defined in the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the above authorization constitutes Data Controller’s prior written consent to the sub-Processing by Data Processor for purposes of Clause 11 of the Standard Contractual Clauses.

Where Data Processor engages sub-Data Processors, Data Processor will enter into a contract with the sub-Data Processor that imposes on the sub-Data Processor data protection obligations to the standard required by Data Protection law. Where the sub-Data Processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations, Data Processor will remain liable to the Data Controller for the performance of such sub-Data Processors obligations.

The provisions of this Section 6 shall mutually apply if the Data Processor engages a sub-Data Processor in a country outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data. If, in the performance of this DPA, Data Processor transfers any Personal Data to a sub-Data Processor located outside of the EEA, in advance of any such transfer, ensure that a legal mechanism to achieve adequacy of data protection in respect of that processing is in place.

If Data Processor engages sub-Data Processors other than the companies listed on the Sub-Data Processors Page, the Data Processor will notify the Data Controller by updating the Sub-Data Processors Page. The Data Controller may object to the engagement of the new sub-Data Processors. The objection must be received within 30 days after the Sub-Data Processors Page is updated and must be based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. If the Data Processor and Data Controller are unable to resolve such objection, either party may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to the other party. Data Controller shall receive a refund of any prepaid but unused fees for the period following the effective date of termination. If the Data Controller would like to receive an email notification when we update the Sub-Data Processors Page, the Data Controller must notify the Data Processor at support@shuffl.ai

7. Data Transfers

a. If the Data Controller is established in the EEA and transfers personal data to Shuffl, the Standard Contractual Clauses, as described under Exhibit 1, are incorporated by reference into this Agreement and apply to that transfer.

b. With respect to Personal Data of EEA and UK data subjects, the Data Controller and Shuffl agree that Shuffl may process Customer Personal Data outside the EEA and the UK where the Data Protection Law requirements (including, where applicable, Articles 44 through 47 GDPR) are fulfilled, or an exception (including, where applicable, those listed in Article 49 GDPR) applies.

8. General Provision

With respect to updates and changes to this DPA, the terms that apply in the “Modifications” section in the Agreement shall apply.

In case of any conflict, this DPA shall take precedence over the terms of the Agreement and the Privacy Policy. Where individual provisions of this DPA are invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this DPA shall not be affected.

Upon the incorporation of this DPA into the Agreement, the parties to this DPA are agreeing to the Standard Contractual Clauses (where and as applicable) and all appendixes attached thereto. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this DPA and the Standard Contractual Clauses in Exhibit 1, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall prevail, provided however: (a) Controller may exercise its right of audit under clause 5(f) of the Standard Contractual Clauses as set out in, and subject to the requirements of, Section 5 of this DPA; and (b) Processor may appoint sub-Processors as set out, and subject to the requirements of, Section 4 and Section 6 of this DPA.

1. The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.

2. The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any sub-processor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.

3. The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any sub-processor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any sub-processor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5(b).

Clause 9

Governing law

The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

Clause 10

Variation of the contract

The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.

Clause 11

Sub-processing

1. The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the sub-processor which imposes the same obligations on the sub-processor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the sub-processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations under such agreement.

2. The prior written contract between the data importer and the sub-processor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for sub-processing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

4. The data exporter shall keep a list of sub-processing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5(j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter’s data protection supervisory authority.

Clause 12

Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services

1. The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the sub-processor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.

2. The data importer and the sub-processor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.

Appendix 2 to the Standard Contractual Clauses

This Appendix forms part of the Clauses.

Description of the technical and organizational security measures implemented by the data importer in accordance with Clauses 4(c) and 5(c). The data importer may update or modify these security standards from time to time provided such updates and modifications will not result in a degradation of the overall security of the Service during the term of the Business Services Terms.

Shuffl to follow strict guidelines: a) to encrypt personal data in its lifecycle including transmission and at-rest (b) to help ensure the ongoing stability, confidentiality, integrity, availability and hardiness of platform services; (c) to restore timely access to personal data following an incident; and (d) for regular testing of organizational and technical safeguards in place.

1. Implementation and compliance of an information security program consistent with established industry standards. These include administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to ensure the protection of Customer Personal Data from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure; unauthorized access to or use that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to the Data Controller, the Data Controller's customers, or the Data Controller's employees; and any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information.

2. Enforce internal access design to ensure the right people have access to the right level of customer data. If a role does not require access to customer data, access will be restricted. Customers who interact with our products through all endpoints must authenticate before accessing non-public customer data. All personnel are required adhere to strict non-disclosure and confidentially agreements with respect to data

10. Conduct regular training for employees with access to Customer Personal Data to ensure awareness of information security risks and compliance with data protection standards.

11. Preventing unauthorized access to the Customer Personal Data through the use of secure log-on procedures, system access to ensure only personnel entitled to use a data processing system have access only to the data to which they have a right of access, and that the Customer Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified, or removed without authorization.

12. We use AWS exclusively for our processing and delivering our service. AWS data centers and its network are architected to protect data information, identities, applications, and devices using latest firewalls and DDoS safeguards. Ensure all data is encrypted in transit, in use, and at rest. Our external facing servers all transfer data over TLS 1.2. All data is then stored in AWS with encryption at rest. Core security and compliance requirements related to data locality, protection, and confidentiality ensure our services adhere to industry security standards.

13. Using the latest in application and infrastructure monitoring to handle error logging and traffic monitoring to ensure appropriate automated technical safeguards are in place. This allows for complete visibility, automation of risk tasks, and building our entire service stack with the highest standards around privacy and data security. This native monitoring service provides proactive tooling such as logging data and actionable insights to monitor our applications, respond to system-wide performance changes, optimize resource utilization, and have a unified view of operational health.

14. Sub-Processor selection and supervision to ensure that Customer Personal Data is processed strictly in accordance with the Data Controller's instructions. These sub-processors must provide at least the same or higher level of protection for Personal Data as we do, to the extent applicable.

15. Provide a highly available service supported by a scalable technical infrastructure. Using the latest innovations in serverless computing allows our data architecture to reflect delivering capacity close to actual demand. Leverage backup technologies to ensure customer data protection in the event of data corruption, outages, or unplanned maintenance where data loss occur, and disaster recovery policies apply.
