2. Relationship of the Parties; Processing of Data

2.1 The parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the processing of Personal Data, Customer may act either as a controller or processor and, except as expressly set forth in this DPA or the Agreement, INFIMA is a processor. Customer shall, in its use of the Services, process Personal Data, and provide instructions for the processing of Personal Data, in compliance with Data Protection Laws. Customer shall ensure that the processing of Personal Data in accordance with Customer's instructions will not cause INFIMA to be in breach of the Data Protection Laws. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of (i) the Personal Data provided to INFIMA by or on behalf of Customer, (ii) the means by which Customer acquired any such Personal Data, and (iii) the instructions it provides to INFIMA regarding the processing of such Personal Data. Customer shall not provide or make available to INFIMA any Personal Data in violation of the Agreement or otherwise inappropriate for the nature of the Services, and shall indemnify INFIMA from all claims and losses in connection therewith.

2.2 INFIMA shall not process Personal Data (i) for purposes other than those set forth in the Agreement and/or Exhibit A, (ii) in a manner inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this DPA or any other documented instructions provided by Customer, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organization, unless required to do so by Supervisory Authority to which INFIMA is subject; in such a case, INFIMA shall inform the Customer of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest, or (iii) in violation of Data Protection Laws. Customer hereby instructs INFIMA to process Personal Data in accordance with the foregoing and as part of any processing initiated by Customer in its use of the Services.

2.3 The subject matter, nature, purpose, and duration of this processing, as well as the types of Personal Data collected and categories of Data Subjects, are described in Exhibit A to this DPA.

2.4 Following completion of the Services, at Customer's choice, INFIMA shall return or delete Customer's Personal Data, unless further storage of such Personal Data is required or authorized by applicable law. If return or destruction is impracticable or prohibited by law, rule or regulation, INFIMA shall take measures to block such Personal Data from any further processing (except to the extent necessary for its continued hosting or processing required by law, rule or regulation) and shall continue to appropriately protect the Personal Data remaining in its possession, custody, or control.

2.5 CCPA. Except with respect to Customer Account Data and Customer Usage Data, the parties acknowledge and agree that INFIMA is a service provider for the purposes of the CCPA (to the extent it applies) and is receiving personal information from Customer in order to provide the Services pursuant to the Agreement, which constitutes a business purpose. INFIMA shall not sell any such personal information. INFIMA shall not retain, use or disclose any personal information provided by Customer pursuant to the Agreement except as necessary for the specific purpose of performing the Services for Customer pursuant to the Agreement, or otherwise as set forth in the Agreement or as permitted by the CCPA. The terms "personal information," "service provider," "sale," and "sell" are as defined in Section 1798.140 of the CCPA. INFIMA certifies that it understands the restrictions of this Section 2.5.

3. Authorized Sub-Processors

3.1 Customer acknowledges and agrees that INFIMA may (1) engage its affiliates and the Authorized Sub-Processors listed in Exhibit B (the "List") to this DPA to access and process Personal Data in connection with the Services and (2) from time to time engage additional third parties for the purpose of providing the Services, including without limitation the processing of Personal Data. By way of this DPA, Customer provides general written authorization to INFIMA to engage sub-processors as necessary to perform the Services.

3.2 The List may be updated by INFIMA from time to time. INFIMA will provide a mechanism to subscribe to notifications of new Authorized Sub-Processors. Customer agrees to subscribe to such notifications if available. At least fifteen (15) days before enabling any third party other than existing Authorized Sub-Processors to access or participate in the processing of Personal Data, INFIMA will add such third party to the List and notify Customer via email. Customer may object to such an engagement by informing INFIMA within ten (10) days of receipt of the aforementioned notice by Customer, provided such objection is in writing and based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. Customer acknowledges that certain sub-processors are essential to providing the Services and that objecting to the use of a sub-processor may prevent INFIMA from offering the Services to Customer.

3.3 If Customer reasonably objects to an engagement in accordance with Section 3.2, and INFIMA cannot provide a commercially reasonable alternative within a reasonable period of time, Customer may discontinue the use of the affected Service by providing written notice to INFIMA. Discontinuation shall not relieve Customer of any fees owed to INFIMA under the Agreement.

3.4 If Customer does not object to the engagement of a third party in accordance with Section 3.2, that third party will be deemed an Authorized Sub-Processor for the purposes of this DPA.

3.5 INFIMA will enter into a written agreement with the Authorized Sub-Processor imposing on the Authorized Sub-Processor data protection obligations comparable to those imposed on INFIMA under this DPA with respect to the protection of Personal Data. In case an Authorized Sub-Processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement with INFIMA, INFIMA will remain liable to Customer for the performance of the Authorized Sub-Processor's obligations under such agreement.

4. Security of Personal Data

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, INFIMA shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing Personal Data. Exhibit C sets forth additional information about INFIMA's technical and organizational security measures.

5. Transfers of Personal Data

5.1 The parties agree that INFIMA may transfer Personal Data processed under this DPA outside the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland as necessary to provide the Services. Customer acknowledges that INFIMA's primary processing operations take place in the United States, and that the transfer of Customer's Personal Data to the United States is necessary for the provision of the Services to Customer. If INFIMA transfers Personal Data protected under this DPA to a jurisdiction for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, INFIMA will ensure that appropriate safeguards have been implemented for the transfer of Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Laws.

5.2 Ex-EEA Transfers. The parties agree that ex-EEA Transfers are made pursuant to the EU SCCs, which are deemed entered into (and incorporated into this DPA by this reference) and completed as follows:

  • 5.2.1 Module One (Controller to Controller) of the EU SCCs apply when INFIMA is processing Personal Data as a controller pursuant to Section 8 of this DPA.
  • 5.2.2 Module Two (Controller to Processor) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a controller and INFIMA is processing Personal Data for Customer as a processor pursuant to Section 2 of this DPA.
  • 5.2.3 Module Three (Processor to Sub-Processor) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a processor and INFIMA is processing Personal Data on behalf of Customer as a sub-processor.
  • 5.2.4 Module Four (Processor to Controller) of the EU SCCs apply when Customer is a processor of Customer Usage Data and INFIMA processes Customer Usage Data as a controller.

6. Rights of Data Subjects

6.1 INFIMA shall, to the extent permitted by law, notify Customer upon receipt of a request by a Data Subject to exercise the Data Subject's right of: access, rectification, erasure, data portability, restriction or cessation of processing, withdrawal of consent to processing, and/or objection to being subject to processing that constitutes automated decision-making (such requests individually and collectively "Data Subject Request(s)"). If INFIMA receives a Data Subject Request in relation to Customer's data, INFIMA will advise the Data Subject to submit their request to Customer and Customer will be responsible for responding to such request, including, where necessary, by using the functionality of the Services. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that Data Subject Requests for erasure, restriction or cessation of processing, or withdrawal of consent to processing of any Personal Data are communicated to INFIMA, and, if applicable, for ensuring that a record of consent to processing is maintained with respect to each Data Subject.

6.2 INFIMA shall, at the request of the Customer, and taking into account the nature of the processing applicable to any Data Subject Request, apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to assist Customer in complying with Customer's obligation to respond to such Data Subject Request and/or in demonstrating such compliance, where possible, provided that (i) Customer is itself unable to respond without INFIMA's assistance and (ii) INFIMA is able to do so in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Customer shall be responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by INFIMA.

7. Actions and Access Requests; Audits

7.1 INFIMA shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to INFIMA, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance where necessary for Customer to comply with its obligations under the GDPR to conduct a data protection impact assessment and/or to demonstrate such compliance, provided that Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information. Customer shall be responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by INFIMA.

7.2 INFIMA shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to INFIMA, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance with respect to Customer's cooperation and/or prior consultation with any Supervisory Authority, where necessary and where required by the GDPR. Customer shall be responsible to the extent legally permitted for any costs and expenses arising from any such assistance by INFIMA.

7.3 INFIMA shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate its compliance with its obligations under this DPA, and retain such records for a period of three (3) years after the termination of the Agreement. Customer shall, with reasonable notice to INFIMA, have the right to review, audit and copy such records at INFIMA's offices during regular business hours.

7.4 Upon Customer's written request at reasonable intervals, and subject to reasonable confidentiality controls, INFIMA shall, either (i) make available for Customer's review copies of certifications or reports demonstrating INFIMA's compliance with prevailing data security standards applicable to the processing of Customer's Personal Data, or (ii) if the provision of reports or certifications pursuant to (i) is not reasonably sufficient under Data Protection Laws, allow Customer's independent third party representative to conduct an audit or inspection of INFIMA's data security infrastructure and procedures that is sufficient to demonstrate INFIMA's compliance with its obligations under Data Protection Laws, provided that (a) Customer provides reasonable prior written notice of any such request for an audit and such inspection shall not be unreasonably disruptive to INFIMA's business; (b) such audit shall only be performed during business hours and occur no more than once per calendar year; and (c) such audit shall be restricted to data relevant to Customer. Customer shall be responsible for the costs of any such audits or inspections, including without limitation a reimbursement to INFIMA for any time expended for on-site audits.

7.5 INFIMA shall immediately notify Customer if an instruction, in INFIMA's opinion, infringes the Data Protection Laws or Supervisory Authority.

7.6 In the event of a Personal Data Breach, INFIMA shall, without undue delay, inform Customer of the Personal Data Breach and take such steps as INFIMA in its sole discretion deems necessary and reasonable to remediate such violation (to the extent that remediation is within INFIMA's reasonable control).

7.7 In the event of a Personal Data Breach, INFIMA shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to INFIMA, provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance necessary for Customer to comply with its obligations under the GDPR with respect to notifying (i) the relevant Supervisory Authority and (ii) Data Subjects affected by such Personal Data Breach without undue delay.

7.8 The obligations described in Sections 7.5 and 7.6 shall not apply in the event that a Personal Data Breach results from the actions or omissions of Customer. INFIMA's obligation to report or respond to a Personal Data Breach under Sections 7.5 and 7.6 will not be construed as an acknowledgement by INFIMA of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach.

8. INFIMA's Role as a Controller

The parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to Customer Account Data and Customer Usage Data, INFIMA is an independent controller, not a joint controller with Customer. INFIMA will process Customer Account Data and Customer Usage Data as a controller (i) to manage the relationship with Customer; (ii) to carry out INFIMA's core business operations, such as accounting, audits, tax preparation and filing and compliance purposes; (iii) to monitor, investigate, prevent and detect fraud, security incidents and other misuse of the Services, and to prevent harm to Customer; (iv) for identity verification purposes; (v) to comply with legal or regulatory obligations applicable to the processing and retention of Personal Data to which INFIMA is subject; and (vi) as otherwise permitted under Data Protection Laws and in accordance with this DPA and the Agreement. INFIMA may also process Customer Usage Data as a controller to provide, optimize, and maintain the Services, to the extent permitted by Data Protection Laws.

9. Conflict

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence will be: (1) the applicable terms in the Standard Contractual Clauses; (2) the terms of this DPA; (3) the Agreement; and (4) any other written agreement executed by the parties.
