(b) not Process A&K Personal Data other than on A&K’s relevant documented instructions (including with regard to Restricted Transfers), unless such Processing is required by Applicable Data Protection Laws to which the relevant Processing activity(ies) are subject, in which case Service Provider shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Data Protection Laws, inform A&K of that legal requirement before the respective act of Processing of that A&K Personal Data; and
(c) immediately inform A&K in the event that, in Service Provider’s reasonable opinion, a Processing instruction given by A&K may infringe Applicable Data Protection Laws.

3.3. All necessary information relating to the details of the Processing is set out in Exhibit A. A&K shall be entitled to update Exhibit A from time to time by posting an updated version online or sending an updated version to Service Provider. Service Provider will be considered to have accepted any such update unless it provides A&K with written notice of non-acceptance within fourteen (14) days following receipt. If Service Provider issues such notice of non-acceptance, the Parties will cooperate and negotiate in good faith regarding any required updates to Exhibit A. 

3.4. A&K instructs Service Provider (and authorizes Service Provider to instruct each Contracted Processor it engages) to Process A&K Personal Data and, in particular, transfer A&K Personal Data to any country or territory (subject to the requirements of Applicable Data Protection Laws governing Restricted Transfers), only as reasonably necessary for the provision of the Services and consistent with the Agreement and this Addendum. 

4. Service Provider Personnel

Service Provider shall ensure:

4.1. the reliability of any of its employees, agents, or contractors who may have access to A&K Personal Data;

4.2. that access to A&K Personal Data is strictly limited to those individuals who need to know or access it, as strictly necessary to fulfil the documented Processing instructions given to Service Provider by A&K or to comply with Applicable Data Protection Laws; and

4.3. that all such individuals are subject to formal confidentiality undertakings, professional obligations of confidentiality, or statutory obligations of confidentiality, which shall continue to endure after the termination of the Services.

5. Security of Processing

5.1. Service Provider shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures, such as those identified in Appendix I to Exhibit A, which ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of Processing and take into account: (i) the state of the art, costs of implementation, and the nature and purposes of Processing; (ii) the risk of varying likelihood and severity to the rights and freedoms of natural persons; and (iii) the risks presented by the Processing activities, particularly those risks related to Personal Data Breaches. 

5.2. Service Provider shall also assist A&K with regard to ensuring A&K’s compliance with its own obligations related to security measures.

6. Sub-Processing 

6.1. Authorization for Existing Contracted Processors: A&K authorizes Service Provider to use Contracted Processors, provided the obligations of this Section 6 (and the respective obligations of Exhibit B) are met.

6.2. Authorization for the Appointment of Additional Contracted Processors: To appoint additional Contracted Processors, Service Provider must provide A&K with prior written notice which will include the details of the Processing to be undertaken by that respective Contracted Processor. 

6.3. Objection to Contracted Processors.

(a) If A&K does not explicitly notify Service Provider in writing of any objections to the proposed appointment within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of such notice, A&K shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed appointment. A&K may object to the appointment of a Contracted Processor by providing a written objection, which shall include the name of the objected-to Contracted Processor and a reasonable statement of objection.
(b) If an objection is received, the Parties will, for a period of no more than thirty (30) days from the date of A&K’s objection, work together in good faith to attempt to find a commercially reasonable solution for A&K that avoids the use of the objected-to Contracted Processor. If no solution can be found, A&K, upon written notice to Service Provider, may terminate the Agreement immediately (or upon such date as A&K selects), with no further fees due, other than what has been accrued up to and including the date of termination. Upon termination of the Agreement, Service Provider shall cease to Process A&K Personal Data.

6.4. Requirements for Appointing Contracted Processors. With respect to each Contracted Processor, Service Provider shall:

(a) before the Contracted Processor first Processes A&K Personal Data (or, where relevant, in accordance with Section 6.1), carry out adequate due diligence to ensure that the Contracted Processor is capable of providing the level of protection and security for A&K Personal Data required by this Addendum, the Agreement, and Applicable Data Protection Laws;
(b) upon request of A&K, disclose the results of that due diligence, with documentation sufficient to support Service Provider’s findings; 
(c) restrict the Contracted Processor’s access to A&K Personal Data only to what is necessary to assist Service Provider in providing or maintaining the Services, and prohibit the Contracted Processor from accessing A&K Personal Data for any other purpose; and
(d) ensure that the arrangement between Service Provider and the prospective Contracted Processor is governed by a written contract that includes terms which offer at least the same level of protection for A&K Personal Data as those set out in this Addendum, and that such terms meet the requirements of Applicable Data Protection Laws.

6.5. Service Provider shall agree to a third-party beneficiary clause with all Contracted Processors whereby, in the event the Service Provider has factually disappeared, ceased to exist in law, or has become insolvent, A&K shall have the right to terminate the arrangement with the Contracted Processor and to instruct the Contracted Processor to erase or return the A&K Personal Data.

6.6. Where any Contracted Processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written contract (or in the absence thereof, as the case may be), Service Provider shall remain fully liable to A&K for the performance of the respective Contracted Processors’ data protection obligations under such contract and/or Applicable Data Protection Laws.

7. Rights of the Data Subjects

7.1. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Service Provider shall assist A&K by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as possible, to respond to requests to exercise rights of the Data Subjects under Applicable Data Protection Laws.

7.2. With regard to the rights of the Data Subjects within the scope of this Section 7, Service Provider shall:

(a) promptly notify A&K if it or any Contracted Processor receives a request from a Data Subject under any Applicable Data Protection Laws with respect to A&K Personal Data; 
(b) not respond to that request, except on the documented instructions of A&K or as required by Applicable Data Protection Laws, in which case Service Provider shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Data Protection Laws, inform A&K of that legal requirement before it or the Contracted Processor responds to the request; and
(c) promptly comply with any documented instructions from A&K regarding responding to a request to exercise rights of a Data Subject. 

8. Personal Data Breach

8.1. Service Provider will maintain a reasonable and appropriate Personal Data Breach response program.

8.2. Breach Response. If Service Provider discovers, is notified of, or has reason to suspect a Personal Data Breach affecting A&K Personal Data under its or any of its Contracted Processors’ control, Service Provider will: (i) immediately implement measures to stop the unauthorized access; (ii) secure the A&K Personal Data; and (iii) notify A&K without undue delay and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of such suspected Personal Data Breach. 

8.3. Breach Obligations. Immediately upon providing notice of a Personal Data Breach, Service Provider shall:

(a) describe to A&K in as much detail as reasonably possible: (i) the nature of the Personal Data Breach; (ii) where possible, the categories and approximate number of Data Subjects concerned and the categories and approximate number of Personal Data records concerned; (iii) the impact of such Personal Data Breach upon A&K and the Data Subjects; (iv) the measures taken or proposed to be taken by Service Provider to address the Personal Data Breach; and (v) relevant individuals who will be available (24 hours per day, 7 days per week) until the Parties mutually agree that the Personal Data Breach has been resolved; 
(b) provide and supplement notifications as and when information becomes available; 
(c) assist A&K in meeting its respective obligations pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Laws, including any obligations to notify Supervisory Authorities or Data Subjects of a Personal Data Breach; and

8.4. Where a Personal Data Breach arises due to the negligence or wilful misconduct of Service Provider, Service Provider will promptly reimburse A&K for all costs reasonably incurred by A&K in connection with the Personal Data Breach, including, but not limited to, costs related to A&K’s provision of notice of a Personal Data Breach to Supervisory Authorities, A&K’s customers, or affected Data Subjects and costs related to offering credit monitoring services to affected Data Subjects (if determined appropriate by A&K or required by Applicable Data Protection Laws).

8.5. Service Provider represents and warrants that it is not, and has never been, subject to civil or criminal litigation, government investigation, or a consent decree, judgment, or order regarding data protection, privacy, or information security, and that it has not suffered any material security breach or, if it has, that it has disclosed information regarding such security breach(es) to A&K.

9. Data Protection Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation

9.1. Service Provider shall provide A&K with relevant information and documentation, and assist A&K in complying with its obligations with regard to any Data Protection Impact Assessments or prior consultations with Supervisory Authorities when A&K determines that such Data Protection Impact Assessments or prior consultations are required pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Laws, but in each such case solely with regard to A&K Personal Data Processed by Service Provider, and taking into account the nature of the Processing and information available to the respective Contracted Processors.

10. Deletion or Return of Personal Data

10.1. Service Provider shall promptly, following the date of cessation of Services, at the choice of A&K, delete or return all A&K Personal Data (including copies) to A&K. Service Provider shall provide A&K with the technical means, consistent with the way the Services are provided, to request the return or deletion of A&K Personal Data. In the event that A&K has not specified its choice, Service Provider shall return all A&K Personal Data to A&K. 

10.2. Service Provider shall also cause all Contracted Processors that have received any A&K Personal Data to delete or return, as applicable, all such A&K Personal Data without undue delay.

10.3. Sections 10.1 and 10.2 shall not apply to the extent that applicable law requires Service Provider or its Contracted Processor, as applicable, to retain any A&K Personal Data. In those instances, Service Provider or Contracted Processor, as applicable, shall specify the applicable law requiring such retention and the period it shall retain A&K Personal Data. The Service Provider’s obligations under this Addendum shall continue for the full period the A&K Personal Data is retained. 

10.4. Sections 10.1 and 10.2 do not apply to A&K Personal Data that has been archived on back-up systems, which Service Provider or its Contracted Processors, as applicable, shall securely isolate and protect from any further Processing, except to the extent required by applicable law. 

11. Audit Rights

11.1. A&K may request, and Service Provider will provide (subject to obligations of confidentiality), a current SOC 2 Type II audit report, ISO 27001 certificate, or other substantially similar independent third-party audit report issued to Service Provider, and any related documentation that A&K may request, to confirm Service Provider’s compliance with the Applicable Data Protection Laws.

11.2. If A&K, after having reviewed such audit report(s) and related documentation, still requires additional information (for example, Service Provider’s policies and procedures regarding data protection, information from Service Provider’s Contracted Processors, or any other relevant information), Service Provider shall further assist and make available to A&K all such additional information and/or documentation (including relevant provisions of contracts with Contracted Processors) necessary to demonstrate compliance with this Addendum and/or Applicable Data Protection Laws.

11.3. In addition, Service Provider shall allow for and contribute to audits, including remote and onsite inspections of the Services, by A&K (on behalf of itself or its clients) or an auditor mandated by A&K (on behalf of itself or its clients) with regard to the Processing of the A&K Personal Data by the Contracted Processor.

12. Jurisdiction Specific Terms

12.1. To the extent Service Provider Processes A&K Personal Data originating from, or protected by, Applicable Data Protection Laws in one of the jurisdictions listed in Exhibit B, then the terms and definitions specified in Exhibit B with respect to the applicable jurisdiction(s) (“Jurisdiction Specific Terms”) shall apply in addition to the terms of this Addendum.

12.2. A&K may update Exhibit B from time to time to reflect changes in or additions to Applicable Data Protection Laws to which relevant Processing operations are subject. A&K shall be entitled to update Exhibit B from time to time by posting an updated version online or sending an updated version to Service Provider. Service Provider will be considered to have accepted any such update unless it provides A&K with written notice of non-acceptance within fourteen (14) days following receipt. If Service Provider issues such notice of non-acceptance, the Parties will cooperate and negotiate in good faith regarding any required updates to Exhibit B.  

12.3. In case of any conflict or ambiguity between the Jurisdiction Specific Terms and any other terms of this Addendum, the applicable Jurisdiction Specific Terms will prevail.

13. Restricted Transfers

13.1. Restricted Transfers of A&K Personal Data within the scope of this Addendum shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable terms and requirements set out in Exhibit B and Applicable Data Protection Laws.

13.2. If the relevant authorities adopt a new version of Standard Contractual Clauses as a lawful mechanism for Restricted Transfers in a jurisdiction governing the processing of A&K Personal Data, the Parties are deemed to have agreed to the execution of the new version of the Standard Contractual Clauses by agreeing to this Addendum, and, if necessary, A&K shall be entitled to update Exhibit A and Exhibit B (and their appendices) accordingly.

13.3. If an alternative transfer mechanism is adopted by A&K during the term of the Agreement (an “Alternative Mechanism”), and A&K notifies Service Provider that some or all Restricted Transfers can be conducted in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws pursuant to the Alternative Mechanism, the Parties will rely on the Alternative Mechanism instead of the transfer mechanisms in Exhibit B for Restricted Transfers to which the Alternative Mechanism applies. 

14. Updates to Exhibits to this Addendum

14.1. A&K may update Exhibit A and Exhibit B (and their appendices) from time to time to reflect changes in or additions necessary to Applicable Data Protection Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the execution of a new version of the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the relevant authorities in the jurisdiction governing the processing of A&K Personal Data is later required in order for the Parties to rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses as a lawful transfer mechanism for Restricted Transfers, the Parties are deemed to have agreed to the new version of the Standard Contractual Clauses by agreeing to this Addendum, and, if necessary, A&K shall be entitled to update Exhibit A and Exhibit B (and their appendices) accordingly.

A&K shall be entitled to update Exhibit C by posting an updated version online or sending an updated version to Service Provider.

15. Liability

15.1. The liability of each Party under this Addendum shall be subject to the exclusions and limitations of liability set out in the Agreement. In no event does this Addendum restrict or limit the rights of any Data Subject under the Applicable Data Protection Laws.

15.2. Service Provider shall be fully liable to A&K for any breach of the Agreement or this Addendum, and the obligations set out therein (including by means of additional contract, as the case may be), by any Contracted Processor, without prejudice to the liability of Service Provider in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws. 

16. Indemnification

16.1. Service Provider agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless A&K and its officers, directors, employees, agents, Affiliates, successors, and permitted assigns against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind which A&K may sustain as a consequence of any breach by Service Provider (or the Contracted Processors, as the case may be) of the provisions of this Addendum.

17. General Terms

17.1. Notice. Notices to A&K under this Addendum shall be directed to [email protected]. Service Provider shall provide the contact details for the purpose of receiving notices under this Addendum to [email protected].

17.2. Prior Existing Agreement.

17.3. Conflicts. All clauses of the Agreement that are not explicitly amended or supplemented by the clauses of this Addendum remain in full force and effect and shall apply, as long as this does not contradict compulsory requirements of Applicable Data Protection Laws. In the event of any conflict between the Agreement (including any annexures, exhibits, and appendices thereto) and this Addendum, the provisions of this Addendum shall prevail, except in such cases where the applicable Jurisdiction Specific Terms listed in Exhibit B will apply and take precedence.

17.4. Severability. Should any provision of this Addendum be found legally invalid or unenforceable, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of this Addendum will continue in effect.

17.5. Non-Compliance. If Service Provider determines that it can no longer meet any of its obligations in this Addendum, Applicable Data Protection Laws, or the Standard Contractual Clauses (where applicable), it shall: (i) promptly notify A&K of that determination and (ii) cease the Processing or immediately take other reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate the lack of compliance.

17.6. Signature. If you are accepting the terms of this Addendum on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant to A&K that you have the authority to bind that entity and its Affiliates, where applicable, to the terms and conditions of this Addendum. 

17.7. Disclosure to Supervisory Authority. Service Provider acknowledges that A&K may disclose this Addendum and any relevant privacy provisions in the Agreement to Supervisory Authorities, or any other judicial or regulatory body upon their request.

Exhibit C

Supplemental Clauses to the Standard Contractual Clauses

By this Exhibit C (this “Exhibit”), the Parties provide additional safeguards and redress to the Data Subjects whose Personal Data is transferred to the importing Party pursuant to Standard Contractual Clauses. This Exhibit supplements and is made part of, but is not in variation or modification of, the Standard Contractual Clauses that may be applicable to the Restricted Transfer.

(a) Data Importer represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, it has not received any national security orders of the type described in Paragraphs 150-202 of the Schrems II judgment.

(b) Data Importer represents that it reasonably believes that it is not eligible to be required to provide information, facilities, or assistance of any type under FISA Section 702 because:

i. No court has found Data Importer to be an entity eligible to receive legal process issued under FISA Section 702: (i) an “electronic communication service provider” within the meaning of 50 U.S.C. § 1881(b)(4); or (ii) an entity belonging to any of the categories of entities described within that definition.
ii. If Data Importer were to be found eligible for process under FISA Section 702, which it believes it is not, it is nevertheless also not the type of provider that is eligible to be subject to UPSTREAM collection pursuant to FISA Section 702, as described in paragraphs 62 and 179 of the Schrems II judgment.

(c) EO 12333 does not provide the U.S. government the ability to order or demand that Data Importer provide assistance for the bulk collection of information and Data Importer shall take no action pursuant to EO 12333.

3. Backdoors

3.1. Data Importer certifies that:

(a) It has not purposefully created backdoors or similar programming for governmental agencies that could be used to access Data Importer’s systems or A&K Personal Data subject to the Standard Contractual Clauses.

(c) National law or government policy does not require Data Importer to create or maintain back doors or to facilitate access to A&K Personal Data or systems.

Data Exporter will be entitled to terminate the contract on short notice in cases in which Data Importer does not reveal the existence of a back door or similar programming or manipulated business processes or any requirement to implement any of these or fails to promptly inform Data Exporter once their existence comes to its knowledge.

4. Information About Legal Prohibitions

4.1. Data Importer will provide Data Exporter information about the legal prohibitions on Data Importer to provide information under this Exhibit. Data Importer may choose the means to provide this information.

5. Additional Measures to Prevent Authorities from Accessing A&K Personal Data

5.1. Notwithstanding the application of the security measures set forth in this Addendum, Data Importer will implement internal policies establishing that:

(a) Data Importer must require an official, signed document issued pursuant to the applicable laws of the requesting third party before it will consider a request for access to transferred A&K Personal Data; 

(b) Data Importer’s Data Protection Officer shall be notified upon receipt of each request or order for transferred A&K Personal Data;

(c) Data Importer shall scrutinize every request for legal validity and, as part of that procedure, will reject any request Data Importer considers to be invalid; 

(d) if Data Importer is legally required to comply with an order, it will respond as narrowly as possible to the specific request; and

(e) if Data Importer receives a request from public authorities to cooperate on a voluntary basis, A&K Personal Data transmitted in plain text may only be provided to public authorities with the express agreement of Data Exporter.

6. Termination

6.1. This Exhibit shall automatically terminate with respect to the Processing of A&K Personal Data transferred in reliance of the Standard Contractual Clauses if the European Commission or a competent regulator approves a different transfer mechanism that would be applicable to the Restricted Transfers covered by the Standard Contractual Clauses (and if such mechanism applies only to some of the data transfers, this Exhibit will terminate only with respect to those transfers) and that does not require the additional safeguards set forth in this Exhibit.
