ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1

Each Party shall disclose or make available personal data to the other Party for the sole purpose provided in Schedule 1 to this DPA (the “Purpose”). The Parties shall be treated as separate data controllers and not as joint controllers. If Applicable Data Law applies to either Party’s processing of Customer Data, the Parties acknowledge and agree that with regard to the processing of Customer Data, Shift is a processor acting on behalf of Customer (whether itself a controller or a processor). For the avoidance of doubt, this DPA shall not apply to instances where Shift is the controller (as defined by Applicable Data Law) unless otherwise described in this DPA.

2.2

Each Party shall be individually and separately responsible for complying with the obligations that apply to it under Applicable Data Law in respect of the performance of their respective obligations under this DPA and the Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall (i) maintain a publicly accessible privacy policy on its website that satisfies the requirements of Applicable Data Law, and in particular advises data subjects of their rights and remedies under Applicable Data Law; (ii) conduct and document a data protection assessment that satisfies the requirement of Applicable Data Law; and (iii) implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures for processing of personal data appropriate to the risk and designed to be adequate under Applicable Data Law.

2.3

Each Party (the “Discloser”) may disclose personal information of data subjects to a Sub-processor in order to fulfill the Purpose, provided the Discloser prohibits the Sub-processor from (i) selling or sharing such personal information to any third party in violation of Applicable Data Law; (ii) retaining, using, or disclosing such personal information for any reason other than for the Purpose, including without limitation, detecting data security incidents, and/or protecting against fraudulent or illegal activity; (iii) combining such personal information with other personal information unless permitted by Applicable Data Law; (iv) in the case of a contractor, accessing such personal information without first certifying that said contractor understands the restrictions and requirements of Applicable Data Law; (v) accessing such personal information unless the Parties can monitor the Sub-processor’s compliance. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party will ensure that any Sub-processor that may receive such personal information first executes a written agreement compatible with Applicable Data Law.

2.4

Shift shall process Customer Data only in accordance with this DPA and Customer’s documented lawful instructions, as necessary to comply with Laws, Applicable Data Law, or as otherwise agreed in writing: (i) to perform any services associated with the Software; (ii) to perform any steps necessary for the performance of the Agreement and this DPA; (iii) to perform any processing initiated by Customer in its use of the Software; and/or (iv) to comply with other reasonable instructions provided by Customer (e.g., via email or support tickets) provided such instructions are consistent with the terms of the Agreement and this DPA. The Parties agree that the Agreement, including this DPA, along with the Customer’s configuration of or use of any settings, features, or options in the Software (as the Customer may be able to modify from time to time) constitute the Customer’s complete and final instructions to Shift in relation to the processing of Customer Data (including for the purposes of the SCCs), and processing outside the scope of these instructions (if any) shall require prior written agreement between the Parties.

2.5

Customer understands and acknowledges that the Software and any services provided by Shift are not configured to process, receive, and/or store Sensitive Information. As such, Customer agrees not to include, request, provide Shift with access to, submit, store, and/or transmit any Sensitive Information through the Software. Customer agrees that Shift may terminate the Agreement immediately if Customer is in violation of this clause.

2.6

Customer represents and warrants that (i) it has complied, and will continue to comply (and shall cause each User to comply) with all Laws, including Applicable Data Law, in respect of its obligations as a Controller and the processing of Customer Data and any processing instructions it issues to Shift; (ii) Shift’s processing of the Customer Data in accordance with Customer’s instructions will not cause Shift to violate any Laws and/or Applicable Data Law; and (iii) it has provided, and will continue to provide, all notice and has obtained, and will continue to obtain, all consents and rights necessary under Applicable Data Law for Shift to collect and process Customer Data for the purposes of performing and providing the Software and any services as described in the Agreement. Customer shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, collection, and processing of Customer Data. Customer agrees that it shall be responsible for complying with all Laws (including Applicable Data Law) applicable to Customer’s use of the Software and any services provided by Shift, and Customer Content created, sent, or managed through the Software, including without limitation, obtaining consents where required and applicable.

2.7

Customer understands and acknowledges that the Software may use Tracking Technologies to provide certain services to Customer. Customer shall maintain appropriate notice and consent mechanisms as required by Applicable Data Law and industry best practices, or as Shift may reasonably request from time to time, to enable Shift and/or its Sub-processors to deploy such Tracking Technologies lawfully on, and collect data from, the devices of individuals whose personal data is processed via the Software by virtue of Customer’s use of the Software. Shift shall provide Customer with all details about the Tracking Technologies reasonably requested by the Customer. Customer shall promptly notify Shift if it is unable to comply with its obligations under this DPA with respect to Shift’s use of Tracking Technologies.


3.

SUB-PROCESSING

3.1

Customer hereby provides its consent to the processing of Customer Data by the Sub-processors listed at https://tryshift.com/app/privacy/relationships. As permitted by Clause 9 under Section II of the Standard Contractual Clauses, Shift may engage additional Sub-processors by entering into Sub-processor agreements with such Sub-processors.

3.2

If Customer objects, on reasonable data protection grounds, to the appointment or replacement of a Sub-processor, Customer must notify Shift in writing. In such event, the Parties shall discuss in good faith commercially reasonably alternative solutions. If the Parties cannot reach resolution within thirty (30) days of Customer’s written notice of objection (the “Resolution Period”), Shift will either not appoint or replace the Sub-processor or, if this is not possible, Customer may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to Shift within ten (10) days following the Resolution Period.

3.3

Where Customer acts as a processor on behalf of a third-party controller (or other intermediary to the ultimate controller), Customer represents and warrants that its processing instructions as set out in the Agreement and this DPA, including any authorizations granted to Shift for the processing of any Customer Data, have been authorized by the applicable third-party controller. Customer shall be responsible for forwarding any notifications received under this DPA to the applicable third-party controller, where appropriate.

3.4

All Sub-processor DPAs shall include the Standard Contractual Clauses which shall include the Docking Clause, Clause 7 (the “Docking Clause”).

4.

SECURITY

4.1

Customer acknowledges that the Security Measures described in Annex II are subject to technical progress and development and that Shift 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 Software. Notwithstanding Shift’s obligations under Annex II, Customer is responsible for its secure use of the Software, including securing its account authentication credentials (if applicable), protecting the security of Customer Data when in transit to the Software, protecting the security of Customer Data during any transit from the Software unless the Customer Data is transferred using technology developed by Shift, and taking any appropriate steps to protect account passwords and/or backup any Customer Data uploaded to the Software.

4.2

Upon becoming aware of a Security Incident, Shift shall: (i) notify Customer without undue delay; (ii) provide timely information relating to the Security Incident as it becomes known or as is reasonably requested by Customer; and (iii) promptly take reasonable steps to contain and investigate any Security Incident.

5.

AUDIT

5.1

Upon Customer's request, Shift will provide Customer with copies of any relevant data protection audit report summaries and/or certifications and/or responses to questionnaires as reasonably required by Customer to verify Shift's compliance with Applicable Data Law ("Audit Information"). Customer agrees to leverage any existing documentation and certifications provided by Shift to the extent such documentation satisfies the requirements of Applicable Data Law. Shift shall further provide written responses to all reasonable written requests for information made by Customer related to data protection that Customer may have in connection with the Audit Information. If Customer determines in its reasonable discretion that the Audit Information does not provide all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with Applicable Data Law, upon prior written request by Customer, Shift shall contribute to further audits to the extent required by Applicable Data Law. Customer acknowledges that the Audit Information and any information collected or derived from any audit constitutes Shift's confidential information and it will protect such information in accordance with confidentiality provisions of the Agreement.
