For such purpose, Customer shall restrict the transfer of any such excluded Personal Data to Contentsquare.

Contentsquare represents and warrants that it understands the rules, requirements and definitions of the CCPA and agrees to refrain from selling (as such term is defined in the CCPA) any Personal Information Processed hereunder, without Customer’s prior written consent, nor taking any action that would cause any transfer of Personal Information to or from Contentsquare under the Agreement or this DPA to qualify as “selling” such Personal Information under the CCPA.

3. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

3.1 Data Subject Requests. Contentsquare shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify Customer if Contentsquare receives a request from a Data Subject or Consumer to exercise their rights (to the extent available to them under applicable law) of access, right to rectification, restriction of Processing, erasure (“right to be forgotten”), data portability, object to the Processing, its right not to be subject to an automated individual decision making, to opt-out of the sale of Personal Information, or the right not to be discriminated against for exercising any CCPA Consumer rights (“Data Subject Request”). Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Contentsquare shall assist Customer by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible and reasonable, for the fulfillment of Customer’s obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under Data Protection Laws. Contentsquare may refer Data Subject Requests received, and the Data Subjects making them, directly to the Customer for its treatment of such requests.

4. CONTENTSQUARE PERSONNEL

4.1 Confidentiality. Contentsquare shall ensure that its personnel engaged in the Processing of Personal Data have committed themselves to maintaining the confidentiality the Personal Data.

4.2 Without derogating from Section ‎2.3 above and Section ‎5 below, Contentsquare may disclose and Process the Personal Data after providing written notice to Customer: (a) to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent governmental or semi-governmental authority, or (b) otherwise as required by applicable Data Protection Laws (in such a case, Contentsquare shall inform the Customer of the legal requirement before the disclosure, unless legally prohibited from doing so), or (c) on a “need-to-know” basis under an obligation of confidentiality to its legal counsel(s), data protection advisor(s) and accountant(s).

5. AUTHORIZATION REGARDING SUB-PROCESSORS

5.1 Appointment of Sub-processors. Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Contentsquare’s Affiliates may be retained as Sub-processors; and (b) Contentsquare and Contentsquare’s Affiliates may each engage third-party Sub-processors in connection with the provision of the Services, all in accordance with and under the terms of this Section ‎5.

5.2 Use of Sub-Processors. Contentsquare makes available to Customer the current list of Sub-processors used by Contentsquare to process Personal Data at https://contentsquare.com/privacy-center/subprocessors/ (“Sub-Processor List”). The Sub-Processor List as of the date of first use of the Services by Customer is hereby authorized and in any event shall be deemed authorized by Customer unless it provides a written reasonable objection in accordance with the terms of Section ‎5.3 below within thirty (30) calendar days following the signing of this DPA. In order to receive notification concerning the intention of including a new Sub-Processor into the Sub-Processor List, please subscribe by sending an email to privacy@contentsquare.com of your request to receive notifications of any new Sub-processors used to Process Personal Data. Once subscribed, Contentsquare shall provide notification of any new Sub-processor(s) before authorizing such new Sub-processor(s) to Process Personal Data in connection with the provision of the Services.

5.3 Objection Right. Customer may reasonably object to Contentsquare’s use of a new Sub-processor, for reasons relating to the protection of Personal Data intended to be Processed by such Sub-processor, by providing a written notice to Contentsquare at privacy@contentsquare.com, listing all specific legitimate gaps allegedly preventing the use of such Sub-processor by Contentsquare, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of Contentsquare’s notice in accordance with the mechanism set out in Section ‎5.2 above. Failure to object to such new Sub-processor in writing within such time period shall be deemed as acceptance of the new Sub-Processor by Customer. In the event Customer reasonably objects to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentences, Contentsquare shall have the right to cure the objection through one of the following options (to be selected at Contentsquare’s sole discretion): (i) Contentsquare shall cease to use the Sub-processor with regard to Customer Personal Data; (ii) Sub-processor shall take the corrective steps curing the gaps listed by Customer in its objection (which steps will be deemed to resolve Customer’s objection) and proceed to use the Sub-processor to process Customer Personal Data; or (iii) Contentsquare may cease to provide, temporarily or permanently, the particular aspect of a Contentsquare Service that would involve use of the subcontractor to process Customer Personal Data (“Objection Remediations”).  If Contentsquare is unable to implement any of the above Objection Remediations within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of objection notice, Customer may, as a sole remedy, terminate the applicable Agreement and this DPA with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Contentsquare without the use of the objected-to Sub-processor. All amounts due under the Agreement before the termination date with respect to the Processing at issue shall be duly paid to Contentsquare. Until a decision is made regarding the new Sub-processor, Contentsquare may temporarily suspend the Processing of the affected Personal Data and/or suspend access to the Account. Customer will have no further claims against Contentsquare due to the use of approved Sub-processors in accordance with the terms of this Section ‎5 or termination or suspension of any part of the Contentsquare Service in accordance with the terms of this Section ‎5 or the termination of the Agreement (including, without limitation, requesting refunds) and/or the DPA in the situation described in this paragraph.

5.4 Agreements with Sub-processors. Contentsquare or a Contentsquare’s Affiliate has entered into a written agreement with each Sub-processor containing appropriate safeguards to the protection of Personal Data. Where Contentsquare engages a new Sub-processor for carrying out specific Processing activities on behalf of the Customer, the same or materially similar data protection obligations as set out in this DPA shall be imposed on such new Sub-processor by way of a contract, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR. Where the new Sub-processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, Contentsquare shall remain fully responsible for and liable to the Customer for the performance of the new Sub-processor's obligations.

6. SECURITY

6.1 Controls for the Protection of Personal Data. Contentsquare shall maintain industry-standard technical and organizational measures for protection of Personal Data Processed hereunder (including protection against unauthorized or unlawful Processing and against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration or damage, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Data), confidentiality and integrity of Personal Data, including those measures set forth in the Security Documentation, as may be amended from time to time. Upon the Customer’s reasonable request, Contentsquare will assist Customer, at Customer’s cost, in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Data Contentsquare.

6.2 Third-Party Certifications and Audits. Each calendar year, Contentsquare shall engage an appropriately recognized accreditor to conduct an audit in accordance with ISO 27001, or other similarly recognized standards (a “Data Protection Controls Audit”). Contentsquare shall cooperate with Customer and, upon reasonable prior notice to Contentsquare (no less than thirty (30) days), provided that Customer agrees to our Penetration Testing Protocol, Customer may conduct periodic technical security tests (manual penetration tests) and audits of Contentsquare’s systems holding or containing any Customer Personal Data, using a third party provider (under confidentiality obligations no less strict than the obligations of Customer under this Agreement), to verify that all necessary security measures have been implemented and are functioning properly, and in any event no more than once per each calendar year (a “Technology Security Audit”). Arising deficiencies and their associated criticality should be reviewed and mutually agreed on by both Parties Contentsquare shall promptly address all critical deficiencies, concerns or recommendations arising out of any Security Questionnaire, Data Protection Controls Audit, or Technology Security Audit (each a “Security Audit”). If, as a result of any Security Audit, Customer reasonably deem Contentsquare’s security measures insufficient, then promptly following Customer’s written request, a senior Contentsquare executive shall meet with a representative of Customer to discuss the matter in good faith until its conclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all assessments and audits conducted under this Section 7.2 shall conform to the following requirements: (i) 30 days prior written notice; (ii) limited to once every twelve months; (iii) at the sole cost of the Customer; (iv) scope of assessments and audits shall be limited to matters not covered by the SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certifications in effect; and (v) any internal expenses incurred by Contentsquare as part of assessments and audits requested by the Customer with a scope already covered by the SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certifications in effect, shall be reimbursed by the Customer.

7. PERSONAL DATA INCIDENT MANAGEMENT AND NOTIFICATION

Contentsquare maintains security incident management policies and procedures and, to the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws, shall notify Customer’s notification email address (as informed by Customer to Contentsquare) without undue delay (no later than forty-eight (48) hours) after becoming aware of the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data Processed on behalf of the Customer, including Personal Data transmitted, stored or otherwise Processed by Contentsquare or its Sub-processors of which Contentsquare becomes aware (a “Personal Data Incident”). Contentsquare shall make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of such Personal Data Incident and take those steps as Contentsquare deems necessary and reasonable in order to remediate the cause of such a Personal Data Incident to the extent the remediation is within Contentsquare’s reasonable control. The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents that are caused by Customer or Customer’s users.

Customer’s notification email: _______________________. Customer may inform Contentsquare of changes to such notification email by emailing privacy@contentsquare.com.

8. RETURN AND DELETION OF PERSONAL DATA

Upon termination of the Agreement and subject thereto, Contentsquare shall, at the choice of Customer (indicated through the Service or in written notification to Contentsquare), delete or return to Customer all the Personal Data it Processes solely on behalf of the Customer in the manner described in the Agreement, and Contentsquare shall delete existing copies of such Personal Data unless Data Protection Laws require the storage of the Personal Data.

9.1 Transfer of Personal Data from the EEA or United Kingdom. Contentsquare may Process Personal Data from the EEA (as defined below) and/or the United Kingdom in such country outside EEA and the United Kingdom as provided in the Sub-Processor List.

9.3 Transfers Personal Data from the EEA or United Kingdom to the United States or other countries or entities. If the Processing of Personal Data includes transfers (either directly or via onward transfer) from the EEA or United Kingdom to the United States or other countries which have not been subject to an Adequacy Decision (“Other Countries”), and such transfer or disclosure is not permitted through alternative means approved applicable Data Protection Laws, Contentsquare will take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is treated securely and in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws, including by signing of a data transfer agreement governed by the Standard Contractual Clauses. Where the transfer of Personal Data is made subject to the Standard Contractual Clause, the “Data Importer” thereunder shall be either the Contentsquare or Sub-Processor, as the case may be and as determined by Contentsquare, and the “Data Exporter” shall be the Controller of such Personal Data. If necessary, Contentsquare will ensure that its Sub-processor enters into Standard Contractual Clauses with Customer directly, and Customer hereby gives Contentsquare an instruction and mandate to sign the Standard Contractual Clauses with any such Sub-processor in Customer’s name and on behalf of Customer.

(g) to make available to the data subject upon request a copy of the Clauses, or any existing contract for subprocessing, unless the Clauses or contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information, with the exception of Appendix 2 which shall be replaced by a summary description of the security measures in those cases where the data subject is unable to obtain a copy from the data exporter;

Clause 6

Liability

1. The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.

2. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.

The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.

3. If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the subprocessor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor with regard to its own processing operations under the Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

Clause 7

Mediation and jurisdiction

1. The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:

(a) to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;

(b) to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

2. The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.

Clause 8

Cooperation with supervisory authorities

  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 subprocessor, 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 subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any subprocessor, 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

Subprocessing

  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 subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the subprocessor 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 subprocessor's obligations under such agreement.
  2. The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor 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 subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
  3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing 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 subprocessing 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 subprocessor 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 subprocessor 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 and must be completed and signed by the parties.

Description of the technical and organisational security measures implemented by the data importer in accordance with Clauses 4(d) and 5(c):

1. Contentsquare designates a fully qualified employee to coordinate with Customer and provide to Customer, as needed, all information reasonably requested in writing by Customer concerning the processing, storage and protection of Customer Data.

2. Contentsquare has implemented and maintains a written data information security program for the protection of Customer Data that included appropriate organizational, administrative, technical and physical safeguards and other security measures that are industry standard and commensurate with the nature of the Customer Data processed by Contentsquare (the “Information Security Program”). Contentsquare’s Information Security Program includes regular training of its personnel on those policies, hiring and exit procedures including regular risk assessment of the risks to the security of Customer Data, and shall be updated as necessary with changes in any applicable law. Contentsquare reserves the right to and may update or modify such measures from time to time provided that such updates or modifications do not result in any material degradation to the security of Customer Data.

3. Contentsquare implements appropriate physical, technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk presented by processing Customer Data, in particular from unlawful and unauthorized destruction, loss, disclosure, or access to Customer Data, stored or otherwise processed by Contentsquare (“Security Breach”), including, inter alia, as appropriate: (i) implementation of reasonable and sufficient physical barriers and controls to prevent unauthorized physical access to, or compromise of Customer Data by human or environmental causes; (ii) ensuring that only those authorized Contentsquare representatives gain access to the Customer Data, and taking commercially reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access to or destruction or loss of any Customer Data; and, (iii) maintaining a secure processing environment for Customer Data, which includes: (a) timely application of anti-virus updates, system patches, fixes and updates to all operating systems and applications, the implementation of firewalls and other similar measures designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Customer Data; (b) encryption of all Customer Data at all times in transit and at rest, using and deploying a commercially acceptable encryption solution; and, (c) secure email for all Contentsquare domains; provided that the security contact provided by Customer is relevant, valid and up to date at the time of said Incident.

4. Contentsquare maintains a business continuity plan so that Customer Data is protected and in the event of a disruption to, or loss of data or CS Solution, delivery of CS Solution and access to Customer Data are restored and continue at the applicable service levels. The plan is being reviewed and approved by management level and tested periodically.

5. If at any time Contentsquare determines that any individual or entity has attempted to circumvent or has circumvented the security of any computer, system, or device containing Customer Data, or that there has been a Security Breach (each, an “Incident”), Contentsquare shall: (a) immediately terminate any unauthorized access and within forty-eight (48) hours notify Customer in writing of such Incident; (b) promptly investigate and take reasonable steps to remediate the Incident; and (c) cooperate with Customer investigation and provide documentation and assistance as may reasonably be requested by Customer.

6. Each calendar year, Contentsquare shall engage an appropriately recognized accreditor to conduct an audit in accordance with ISO 27001, or other similarly recognized standards (“Data Protection Controls Audit”). Contentsquare shall cooperate with Customer and, upon reasonable prior notice to Contentsquare (no less than thirty (30) days), provided that Customer agrees to our Penetration Testing Protocol, Customer may conduct periodic technical security tests (manual penetration tests) and audits of Contentsquare’s systems holding or containing any Customer Data, using a third party provider (under confidentiality obligations no less strict than the obligations of Customer under this Agreement), to verify that all necessary security measures have been implemented and are functioning properly, and in any event no more than once per each calendar year (a “Technology Security Audit”). Arising deficiencies and their associated criticality should be reviewed and mutually agreed on by both Parties Contentsquare shall promptly address all critical deficiencies, concerns or recommendations arising out of any Security Questionnaire, Data Protection Controls Audit, or Technology Security Audit (each a “Security Audit”). If, as a result of any Security Audit, Customer reasonably deem Contentsquare’s security measures insufficient, then promptly following Customer’s written request, a senior Contentsquare executive shall meet with a representative of Customer to discuss the matter in good faith until its conclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all assessments and audits conducted under Section 6 above shall conform to the following requirements: (i) 30 days prior written notice; (ii) Limited to once every twelve months; (iii) At the sole cost of the Customer; (iv) Scope of assessments and audits shall be limited to matters not covered by the SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certifications in effect; and (v) Any internal expenses incurred by Contentsquare as part of assessments and audits requested by the Customer with a scope already covered by the SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certifications in effect, shall be reimbursed by the Customer.
